News: El Artista Cigars Announcers Bufffalo TEN Line Extension

I’ve smoked the Buffalo TEN Maduro and it’s a really good cigar, especially for the price. I haven’t sampled the Natural offering, but I wouldn’t hesitate to pick some up, and I know a couple local shops that are carrying them, so I might grab some. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this for the Connecticut smoker based on past experience with the Maduro and with El Artista in general.

El Artista Cigars announces the launch of a new line extension of the wildly popular Buffalo TEN series. “This flagship product line has performed so well,” says Radhames ‘Ram’ Rodriguez, President of El Artista Cigars, “we just had to bring out one more blend, this time in a Connecticut grown in our farms in Ecuador.”… Continue reading »

News: Black Works Studio Offers Hive Cigars at PCA Show

It’s Wednesday and I’ll be posting a couple news articles over the course of the evening again.  The first one here is from Black Label Trading Co., and I hope one of my local shops goes to the show and orders these.  We have some bees and they are pretty cool, so I’d love to get some of these cigars, besides the fact that I enjoy the BLTC cigars too. 

Black Works Studio (BLK WKS)will be showcasing a new release at this year’s PCA in Las Vegas. HIVE is a small batch release offered on a first-come, first-served basis to BLTC/BLK WKS retailers attending PCA 2021. Shipping will commence in the fall.… Continue reading »

News: Protocol “Blue” Line Adds 6″ x 60 Gordo

Since I’m in the middle of smoking my way through the Black Lion Luxuries Cigar of the Month Club pack, I’m being lazy and posting some news items. It’s that time of year anyway, so there’s going to be a lot of news over the next few weeks as the PCA show approaches. Here’s a tidbit from Protocol, I think I have another one around someplace…

Protocol Cigars is pleased to announce a 6 x 60 Gordo line extension in the Protocol “Blue” Line debuting at the 2021 PCA Trade Show. The Protocol “Blue,” which it has unofficially been referred as, was the first release for Protocol Cigars back in 2015.… Continue reading »

A Few Ortega Serie D Cigars

As I mentioned in my Sunday post, Ortega Cigars is a new partner on the site. I purchased the sampler that’s featured in the ad that’s running currently, and it arrived promptly. It’s an amazing deal, I almost feel guilty recommending it, as it must be a big losing proposition. Anyway, Like I said before, I’ve known Eddie Ortega for many years. I believe I met Eddie at a local shop here when he had a 601 La Bomba Event, back when they were made by Pepin Garcia. It was about ten years ago because my then 21 year old son was with me and he had his first taste of Zacapa rum courtesy of Eddie.… Continue reading »
