News: Macanudo Inspirado Introduces Brazilian Shade

Here’s some news from General Cigar about a new cigar in the Macanudo Inspirado line. I smoked the Inspirado Brazilian Maduro Toro last night and it’s a different maduro than I’m used to. It’s more savory than sweet, which is odd to me. Still a delicious cigar. This new one sounds interesting, I wonder how it will compare to the maduro, and to other shade cigars.

Macanudo will soon debut a new Inspirado collection featuring a rare Brazilian wrapper and a proprietary Cuban-seed filler, marking the first time these tobaccos have been used with Macanudo. Called Macanudo Inspirado Brazilian Shade, the limited-edition line brings together masterful blending with expert agronomy for a one-of-a-kind smoking experience.… Continue reading »

News: Cohiba to Debut Serie M, the first Cohiba made in the U.S.

This is interesting news for a few reasons, to me at least.

I was quite new at the video thing and the audio is terrible. I also met his friend Willy Herrera in his booth… Continue reading »

News: Stogie Road Cigars™ Announces New Factory

Here’s the second and last news item of the evening, this one coming from Stogie Road Cigars™. For those, unfamiliar, read on. I can tell you a little something about the factory that isn’t mentioned in the press release, this is the factory that produces the Veritas cigar, which is another small, but up and coming brand. The brand has been around for a while, I remember meeting the Veritas guys a while ago at one of the Delaware Cigar Festivals, I believe they have roots in Delaware. I’ve enjoyed Kerr’s Sweet Grass Gringo in the past, and look forward to sampling his new iterations.
