CigarCraig’s 12 Spectacular Days of Cigar Giveaways 2014 Day 12: Arandoza Cigars

It’s hard to believe it’s day 12 already! Lots of cigars and goodies given away and more to come!  Yesterday I delivered the Day 1 present to Adam.  I met him at To’Makao in Bethlehem, PA and handed off the goodies!  I love it when I can save on shipping and meet another great cigar friend in person! On the way up I smoked my first CAO Columbia and enjoyed it quite a bit. It was mellow and flavorful. The lucky winner of the box of CAO Colombia  Bogota is Frank Germaine. Please send me your address!  Let’s move along to Day 12, and a great Day 12 it is!

 

 

Arandoza Cigars

ArandozaRed

Day 12 of CigarCraig’s 12 Spectacular Days of CigarGiveaways brings us the third offering from Arandoza Cigars.  The Arandoza Red Label features a spicy San Andrés wrapper and is a strong, delicious cigar. Once again, this comes from the La Zona factory in Esteli. In addition to the Mexican maduro wrapper, it has a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan triple ligero filler.  I really like all the cigars in the Arandoza line, but the Red Label is my favorite.  Many thanks to Robert Arango at Arandoza Cigars for his enthusiastic support this year!

  61. paul1954

    love the blue label, would love to try the red label! good stuff coming out of the la zona factory these days.

  62. Dan Colley

    I had a first for me: a cigar from the La Zona factory. It was an Espinoza and I liked it quite a bit. It sported a beautiful Habano wrapper and smoked better than many cigars in it’s price range. I know that you, Craig, speak highly of the La Zona factory and their recent efforts. A box of these Arandozas sure would look good under my Christmas tree !!!

  63. Forrest V

    Those are great. Send them over here.

  64. Allen

    Would make a great Christmas present to me. 🙂

  65. Jason Meyers

    Love these cigars!

  66. Foster Mccarl

    Another learning opportunity with a new cigar.

  67. Chad Miller

    Last chance looks great

  68. BImpson

    Well, it’s day 12 and no win yet, so I’ll have to throw my hat in the ring. I don’t know this cigar, but from the description it sounds like it may be on the heavy side. Might make for nice bombing run ammunition for those who prefer a full bodied stick. Thanks for another fun year of the 12 days contest Craig. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

  69. justin lowman

    Maybe it’ll be lucky number 12 for me. This has been a great contest.
