News: Black Label Trading Co. Releasing Viaticum Cigar at IPCPR Show

Wednesday starts off with some more news from the very busy BLTC. I’m not going to go crazy today like I did yesterday!  

Black Label Trading Company(BLTC) will be showcasing a new release at this year’s IPCPR in Las Vegas.  

LAST RITES VIATICUM will be available to BLTC retailers at this years IPCPR.  This is a small batch release offered on a first-come, first-serve basis to retailers attending IPCPR 2019.  Shipping will commence this fall.

“We wanted to release a cigar exclusively for IPCPR attendees as a way of showing our appreciation for the retailers who come to support our brands and the show. Last Rites has always been a special cigar to me. It was the first cigar I blended on my own, and I blended it to my personal tastes. It’s everything I wanted out of a cigar and a perfect representation of Black Label Trading Co. To celebrate our sixth anniversary, I wanted to do a Special Edition of the Last Rites. The Viaticum is an evolution of the Last Rites blend. It uses most of the same tobaccos but in different proportions and primings. It’s rich, dark and elegant just like Nicaraguan tobacco. We also box pressed the cigar like the original 2013 release,“ says James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra.

Last Rites Viaticum

​​Country of Origin: Nicaragua
​​Wrapper: Ecuador Maduro
​​Binder: Honduras Habano
​​Filler: Nicaraguan / Honduran

Robusto – 5 x 54 Box Press (20 count) MSRP $15.00

“Black Label Trading Company is redefining the standards for cigar making. With a less is more philosophy, Black Label Trading Co. creates hand crafted premium cigars of the utmost quality at their own factory in Nicaragua.”

News: Fratello Cigars Introduces Fratello Piccolo

I just mentioned the Fratello Firecracker earlier today. I’m not a big fan of “little cigars”, 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!  

 

INTRODUCING FRATELLO PICCOLO

Omar de Frias is proud to announce the company’s latest blend, the Fratello Piccolo.  Different from the Fratello Classico, the Piccolo uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with the same binder and filler as the Classico. “We used a different wrapper on our Classico blend and picked up some great flavors! The combustion and aroma were absolutely incredible.”  said de Frias.  

Fratello Piccolo will debut as a 4 x 34 in 100 count boxes.  The MSRP for this cigar will be $3.30 per cigar and will begin shipping in August.  

 

The Fratello Piccolo is being made at Joya de Nicaragua.

News: Mombacho Announces Shipment of Cosecha 2014 Cigars

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.

 

Mombacho Cigars S.A. announced today that the highly anticipated Cosecha 2014 is shipping worldwide. Cosecha 2014 is a vintage Nicaraguan puro and will be available at select cigar retailers in the near future. The cigars will be distributed to retailers around the globe once they reach the warehouses Mombacho uses to serve its international markets.

“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 Spanish word “Cosecha” translates to “harvest” in English and is the perfect name to convey the genuine vintage nature of the Cosecha line. 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. Currently, Cosecha 2015 cigars have already been rolled and are resting in the aging room at Casa Favilli and Cosecha 2017 will be soon in production until ready for distribution in 2022.

Cosecha 2014 is a 6 x 52 toro with a pigtail cap and is available in 10-count boxes with an MSRP of $21.95 per cigar. A total of 750 boxes were produced and they will be shown at the IPCPR in Las Vegas at the booth #2867.
