Here’s some Friday news from Casa Cuevas. This is a company I’m interested in meeting at TPE. I know I’ve smoked cigars that they’ve made, although I have yet to smoke any of their own branded cigars (yet…very soon). I’m pretty sure I know someone who can make introductions at the show 😉.
Casa Cuevas Cigars, makers of handmade premium cigars to add the “La Mandarria” (translates to the sledgehammer brand) to their core line up of cigars. La Mandarria was initially a limited Edition 500 count box run. The brand was born out of the unfortunate burglary which occurred in February 2019 at the Casa Cuevas Cigars distribution center in Miami. Burglars used sledgehammers to break in and steal over 25,000 units of the Casa Cuevas brands, which included the Casa Cuevas Limited Edition Flaco, and Casa Cuevas core line of cigars. The Cuevas family made the decision to forge ahead and create a cigar, that will mark the era where they faced and overcame adversity.

Another TPE News item, and another instance where Undercrown is bringing back a size (and packaging) that we saw in the old Chateau Real. Just like the Undercrown Suprema (yet to be seen in the maduro, but I bet it come out this summer) matches the Chateau Real Gran Cru Perfecto, this new size is the same as the Small Club Corona. Both were cigars I loved and had boxes of, sadly long gone. These are a great size and pack a lot of flavor into a small package.
Drew Estate announces today the national launch of the Undercrown Corona Pequeña in both Maduro and Shade wrappers. These cigars will be showcased at the upcoming TPE trade show held in Las Vegas, NV on January 29th-31st.… Continue reading
In Sunday’s post I mentioned stopping into W. Curtis Draper’s in Washington DC, and, since I couldn’t stay and smoke, I at least bought a cigar before I left. I should have bought a few, but I knew I was going to have to spend some money at Shelly’s, and time’s being what they are…I really don’t have a need for more cigars. They did have a box of Fratello DMV on the counter, and they don’t have them in my area, so I grabbed one. I published the announcement about the 2019 release of these last October. I was surprised that they didn’t have the DC edition, but they did have the 2019 Maryland edition.… Continue reading
More news, this time from Villiger. They were the first big company to jump ship, so to speak. If you read ahead, they aren’t “doing” Brazil, but it’s Portuguese for the name of their factory there, Villiger of Brazil. Am I seeing a trend of releases in Maduro and Connecticut for this tradeshow?
Villiger Cigars to release the “Villiger do Brasil” cigar brand at the TPE 2020 taking place this January 29-31 at the Las Vegas Conventions Center. Villiger do Brasil is a Brazilian puro which features two blends, Claro and Maduro, created to celebrate Villiger’s century long history with Brazilian tobacco. Villiger’s new factory in Bahia, Brazil also named “Villiger do Brasil” (Villiger of Brazil, translated from Portuguese) opened its doors in 2018.… Continue reading
