Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Limited Edition 2011 – Cigar Review

Posted by acigarsmoker on August 29th, 2011
Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Limited Edition Band

Today’s smoke is the Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Limited Edition. According to Uptown Cigar Company,

With a total of only 3,700 boxes made, this is the first limited edition cigar made solely by Master Blender Jaime Garcia. A Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper from a lower priming, a Nicaraguan Pelo de Oro binder, and 2 Cuban-seed Nicaraguan leaves for the filler, this full bodied smoke has a similar taste to the original Jaime Garcia, except the cigar is MUCH richer and more refined in depth and flavor.

The cigars come 16 in a box, with a twist. The Broadleaf wrapper is on 15 of the sticks, while 1 features a Connecticut share which might be the wrapper used in 2012.

I might be a little late to the program but I had a cool conversation with Jose Ortega on the phone today and we spoke about the new cigars coming out at IPCPR next week in Las Vegas. There are two cigars of note about to be unveiled from the My Father factory in Nicaragua. Both cigars are high on my wish list, especially a box purchase of one of them …

Casa Magna Colorado Lancero – Cigar Review

Posted by acigarsmoker on March 9th, 2011

The Casa Magna Colorado Lancero has begun to hit retailers shelves. Unlike traditional lancero cigars the Casa Magna is 3/4 of an inch longer, with a 40 ring gauge instead of 38. According to Manuel Quasada, “In the late 70s thin cigars sold. We sold thousands of them every month. Then all of a sudden, they died.” Last year, the cigar was offered as part of the Emperador Collector’s Box which contained four sizes. The box sets are believed to have sold out from the retailers who had them.

Casa Magna Colorado Lanceros will have a suggested retail price of $12.95 per cigar, and will be packed in boxes of 7 cigars. Why seven? “They look beautiful,” said Quesada, “and it’s a good sale unit.” Seven cigars at that price keeps the total box below $100. Before local tobacco taxes, that is.

Cigar Review: La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor

Posted by acigarsmoker on August 20th, 2010

I managed to get my hands one of these a few days before IPCPR and when I smoked it I was ready to right a review on it. However, I promised I would wait until after the show as Ashton did a good job keeping these under wraps. Since IPCPR I have smoked quite a few of them and my opinion has never changed.

The Mi Amor has been in the making for a couple of years and Holts in Philadelphia will have an event at the Walnut Street location on August 25th from 12pm at 8pm. If you drop by make sure you say hello to Anthony, Robyn, Bob, Lee & Michael for me. This crew makes up one of the best staffs in the cigar business

Cigar Review: Kristoff Sumatra

Posted by acigarsmoker on April 21st, 2010

After having a hard time tracking down the official site for these cigars I found out they were made by Exclusive Cigars and then it all came together. Evidently searching for “Kristoff Cigars Official Site” wasn’t enough. According to the website, “The Kristoff Sumatra is a medium bodied cigar with velvety floral notes, spice, cinnamon and a smooth, sweet finish. This very traditional Cuban flavor will have you feeling like you’ve been transported back to old world Cuba.”

I had my first Kristoff Sumatra at De La Concha when the USA lost to Canada in the Gold Medal game and since then I picked up a few more to write this review.

Cigar: Dirty Rat by Drew Estate
Size: 5 x 44
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
Binder: Brazilian
Filler: Cuban Seed Dominican, Cuban Seed Nicaraguan
Strength: Medium

Posted by acigarsmoker on September 9th, 2009

I never met a Perdomo I liked enough to smoke on a regular basis. I got today’s cigar from a cigar pass, and to be honest I was planning on re-gifting it in another pass somewhere down the road. Well, no passes materialized and I said what the hell I will try it with an [...]
