I received a personal invitation to the official Florida release of the “One Off” from Illusione this Wednesday at the Casa de Montecristo by Prime Cigar and Whiskey Bar in Miami (1106 S. Miami Avenue #202 Brickell Miami, FL 33130) but, as much as I’d love to make it, geographically” I’m just not able to attend. So I’m going to pass on the details here and hopefully one of my readers will be able to make it and send me a report. I’m to understand that the venue has won “Best Cigar & Whiskey Bar/Shop in Miami” by the Miami New Times readers, so it sounds like a nice place.
Prime Cigar & Whiskey Bar will be one of 500 retail locations across the nation selling the highly anticipated (back on the market) “One Off” by Illusione.
Production details are not that easy to come by, but all we can say is it is being handled at Aganorsa Leaf’s Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. factory in Estelí, Nicaragua and that ONLY 120,000 One Off’s have been rolled out to the market.
Formal introduction will be celebrated at the July 2018 IPCPR Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas, NV.
I got an e-mail today from George Rodriguez. I assume you know him but apparently he’s making a change in his business. It sounds like he may be getting out of the business. Have you heard anything about it? I’m sorry if you posted something about it but my computer has been down for a couple of weeks and I’m not up to speed with your column or your blog. George has always treated me well and if he is leaving the scene, it will be a loss. I can thank him for handling the Leaf by Oscar and the Corona Project Vol I. They are both good lines of cigars. If you know anything about this, please let me know by PM. Thanks, brother.
