Some Saturday morning news from La Gloria Cubana for you here. I’m curious about this one, as a long time LGC fan, but not so much a fan of Criollo. It’ll be interesting to me to see what the hybrid between the Criollo and Pelo de Oro is like. I think I’ve been to the farm in Mao that they mention below, and I’ve seen Pelo de Oro in fields in Nicaragua, so I feel somewhat of a connection to this so I definitely want to try it. Read on:
La Gloria Cubana presents “Criollo de Oro,” a new, limited edition collection named after the hybrid varietal developed by crossing two Cuban seed tobaccos: the versatile Criollo ’98 with the rare Cuban seed Pelo de Oro.… Continue reading
Here’s some Friday news from Black Label Trading Co.. I hope I’ll be able to get some of these from my friends at Fox Cigars, who I enjoy ordering from occasionally. They are one of a handful of companies I order from, and there aren’t a lot any more. I’ve found their service and selectition to be outstanding. This looks like a tasty cigar.

Here’s some exciting news from Drew Estate. It’s exciting because Wooden Indian is one of my favorite places and it’s really cool that they have this excellent cigar.

Speaking of Drew Estate, tonight at 7PM Eastern which is only short time away from publishing, they are having another one of their Freestyle Live Facebook Live events. They are teasing some new release announcements, so I’ll be tuning in to check it out.
The 2021 edition of Drew Estate’s Liga Privada Unico Serie Pancetta will soon be available exclusively at Wooden Indian Tobacco Shop in Havertown, Pa., and Barrister Cigars in Union, N.J. The cigar will be available at the two retail locations beginning on Oct. 1.… Continue reading
Here’s another news item, this one from Black Label Trading. This is one I haven’t sm
oked from them, which, honestly, isn’t saying a lot as there is a great deal of the BLTC stuff I haven’t sampled. I love what I do smoke, I just haven’t dug deep into the catalog for whatever reason. Not much excuse a
s a couple shops within 10 miles in a couple directions have a good selection. It’s something to work on…
Black Label Trading Company (BLTC) is releasing VIATICUM in three vitolas to select retailers this month. Viaticum is hand crafted at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua.
VIATICUM is a small batch release that was originally released in one vitola in 2019 to retailers who attended the PCA trade show. This is the second and full release made available to all BLTC retailers.
“Viaticum is an evolution of the Last Rites blend and a testament to what Black Label Trading Co is all about. It uses most of the same tobaccos but in different proportions and primings. It’s the perfect balance between strength and complexity. This cigar is bold but also very refined. It’s all about balance. The dark fruit and earth flavors are wrapped in soft floral notes and elevated with a multitude of spice on the finish,” says James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra.
