News: Joya de Nicaragua Launches TAA Retailer Exclusive Cuatro Cinco Edición Americana

I got behind on some news items this week , so I’m going to post a few on this rainy Saturday. This is one from Joya. This is one of my favorite blends from them. Typically TAA exclusives aren’t all that exciting to me, but this one has potential. I’m to understand that only 5000 cigars are being made available in this release. I’m going to have to get my hands on a few.  

Since its founding in 1968 as the first premium cigar company in Nicaragua, Joya de Nicaragua has enjoyed strong ties with American cigar lovers and their retailers. During the administration of Richard M. Nixon, Joya de Nicaragua’s Clásico was even the official cigar distributed to guests attending functions at the White House. In 2021, the United States continues to be one of Joya de Nicaragua’s most important markets and the company is celebrating its strong ties to America by releasing Cuatro Cinco Edición Americana, the second regional edition of its legendary Cuatro Cinco cigars, which will be available exclusively at Tobacconist Association of America (TAA) member retailers.… Continue reading »

Tatuaje T110 Limited Edition Broadleaf and Sumatra and a Southern Draw Lady Killer

I wasn’t even going to write about the Southern Draw Lady Killer, but I had a special request, so I figured what the heck. I had stopped in to Cigar Mojo on Sunday to buy some cigars I didn’t need. I had been looking for some Illusione CG:4 White Horse for the Diner en Blanc because of the whole white thing, I like to smoke something with “white” in the name of the cigar, and they had gotten some in, so I felt obligated to go buy some for next year. Now I have to remember I have them next year! Anyway, as I was checking out I spied the last two Southern Draw Lady Killers by the register and picked them up.… Continue reading »

Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata at the Humidour on the Hill

Yesterday I found myself in Cockeysville, Maryland so I stopped in the Humidour Cigar Shoppe on the Hill for
a cigar or two. This is not my first visit, I was there six years ago and spent an afternoon there. As a matter of fact, last night when I got home, I smoked a Zorba corona that I had gotten there six years ago. They have three exclusive cigars that are made by Rocky Patel, the Zorba, the Zeus and the Bella Carmella.… Continue reading »

Patina Habano and Stolen Throne Call To Arms Cigars

Last weekend when I stopped by Son’s Cigar Lounge I picked up a few cigars I hadn’t smoked before. Even though they are still filling the humidor (it turns out my guess of 15% of capacity in Sunday’s post was spot on as confirmed by Vince), they have an impressive selection of boutique cigars. I bought some Patina Habanos, having not had that before, and having recently enjoyed the Maduro.… Continue reading »
