I just mentioned the Fratello Firecracker earlier today. I’m not a big fan of “little cigarsâ€, but I recognize that they have their place, and these do sound tasty, and Omar hasn’t missed yet as far as I’m concerned. Despite the name, I’m quite sure these done have holes in them! Â
INTRODUCING FRATELLO PICCOLO
Omar de Frias is proud to announce the company’s latest blend, theFratello Piccolo. &Ac

One more, I promise! I only smoked one Cosecha and it was the 2012 and it was at the Mombacho Media party in Las Vegas. It was an outdoor event and not the best conditions to smoke a cigar. However, smoking it was the only option, and it was very good, despite the hot and dry conditions. I have some great memories from that evening. I know a place around here to get Mombacho cigars, maybe I’ll get my hands on one of these one of these days.
MOMBACHO CIGARS ANNOUNCES WORLDWIDE SHIPMENT OF COSECHA 2014
Cosecha 2014 is the latest release from the successful yearly limited edition Cosecha line in the market since 2012.

“True vintage is almost impossible to find in the cigar industry and we have created a cigar that showcases the best of Nicaraguan tobaccos with Cosecha. Cosecha 2012 was great and Cosecha 2013 was even better, Cosecha 2014 will surprise the aficionados once again.” said Claudio Sgroi, President and Master Blender of Mombacho Cigars. “Cosecha is a project that has been in my heart since the day I started working with Mombacho and I am thrilled to share it with all of you now” added Sgroi.

The Cosecha 2014 is the third release of this limited vintage line and features Nicaraguan tobaccos harvested in 2014. The cigars have been in the aging room at Casa Favilli, Mombacho’s state-of-the-art factory in Granada, since early 2016.

I’m a sucker for the Firecrackers, they are a great little smoke with a big cigar taste. One of my favorite cigar memories was smoking a Fratello Firecraker on the Spanish Steps in Rome. I just thought there was so much irony in that, and it was a great cigar for walking around that wonderful city. I’ll look forward ordering some of this year’s Kristoff Firecrackers too!
2019 Edition of the Firecracker To Be Released On June 24th
In 2006 Two Guys Smoke Shop owner David Garofalo came up with a concept that would become one of the most sought after limited edition cigars each Independence Day. The cigar came to fruition when Don Pepin Garcia was visiting Two Guys Smoke Shop for a series of events. It was at one of these events that Garofalo asked Garcia to roll a cigar with a fuse on it. After some hesitation Garcia rolled the cigar that would become a signature release for the New Hampshire based retailer.
Since 2006 the cigar has seen versions from My Father Cigars, Tatuaje (in the form of an M80), La Flor Dominicana, RoMaCraft, Fratello and DTT’s Mi Querida. In addition the cigar sees an ongoing production version from Jose Dominguez.
This year the first Firecracker release comes from Glen Case and Kristoff Cigars. It’s based off the Pistoff Kristoff blend which features a San Andres wrapper over Indonesia binder and Nicaragua fillers. The blend starts off with a bang and continues right through the explosive finish.
The Pistoff Kristoff Firecracker which is limited to 250 boxes will go on sale at 10am on June 24th via their online website 2GuysCigars.com.
They will retail for $6.99 each or boxes of 20 with a discounted price of $119.99.
