As my regular readers know a few weeks back I was invited into the Altadis VIP program which has a few perks. These include merchandise, swag, and a newsletter…

One of the things listed in the newsletter was the addition of new cigars to the Altadis family. These cigars include:

• Mi Dominicana by Jose Seijas: an exquisitely constructed, full-bodied Dominican Puro.
• Montecristo Reserve Negra: a deliciously robust maduro worthy of the Montecristo name.
• A. Turrent Six Generations: perhaps the finest cigar from the industry;s oldest cigar makers made with hand selected tobaccos aged for seven years.
• Romeo Y Julieta Museum Edition: available in a limited edition of 2000 humidors each featuring 36 super premium cigars and a signed and numbered serigraph from renowned 3-D artist Charles Fazzino.

All cigar information reprinted from Altadis Cigar News August 2008 Volume 1 Issue 3

Also sent to me from Altadis USA was a couple of baseball caps from Montecristo one of which will be sent to a randomly selected reader of my blog. To enter please send an email to me, the address is listed under the contact section of my web page. In the subject line place, “I want the hat” and your shipping address in the body of the email. The winner will be randomly selected via a drawing. This contest is open from now til 9pm eastern time on August 7th 2008. The winner will be notified via email and the first name of the winner along with the city/state will be posted to the blog.

Best of luck, and long ashes to everyone….
