So this past week was an eclectic mix of weather, with snow on Thursday and 62 degrees and sunny today, Sunday. Hopefully spring is here to stay, and as I look at the five day forecast, I see upper 50s and low 60s for NYC. This is the perfect time of year to visit your local Brick & Mortar and stock up on cigars. In fact if you live near Garden City, Long Island take a ride out to Tobacco Plaza for the March Madness final, get deals on Alec Bradley, and enjoy some good food and great company. Tobacco Plaza is located at, 218 Lakeville Road, Great Neck, NY 11020. As of now I plan to be there as well so I look forward to seeing you!

Project “Para Japón” by La Aurora – Support for JAPAN

Posted by acigarsmoker on March 30th, 2011
parajapon

The following comes from our good friends at CigarExplorer.com…

On March 11, 2011, an 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit the island of Japan — the biggest earthquake in Japanese official record. The tsunami that followed caused unprecedented devastation on a level unseen by the Japanese people since War World II.

The voices and images of desperation have struck deeply in the hearts and souls of the Dominican people whom, for many decades, have built a close bond with Japan. La Aurora Cigar Factory has echoed the expressions of solidarity of its employees and suppliers, and is glad to announce the creation of a special edition cigar to help the humanitarian response to this disaster. “We are very pleased to lay our helping hand to our brothers of Japan by supporting the humanitarian assistance to this great nation,” says Guillermo Leon, President of La Aurora. “When hurricanes have struck the Dominican Republic, Japan was there for us,” Leon added. Proceeds from the sales of this cigar will be donated to the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief fund through JAPAN TOBACCO IMEX CO. LTD.

After a brief hiatus last weekend as we began our journey home from the Dominican Republic we are back with the Sunday Links. This whole week I found myself daydreaming of good times that were had and new friendships that were made. I went from 85 degrees and sunny to 35 degrees and raw. April is right around the corner and the best day of the year happened while I was out of town. I can’t wait for spring to fully hit it’s stride.

As we get closer to IPCPR some things are being discussed and travel arrangements are being made. So far I am looking forward to the new lines from Tatuaje the most with the La Aurora 107 Maduro a close second. Also very curious about the cigar coming out from Jon Huber the former director of lifestyles and marketing for CAO. The Crowned Heads should be a winner based on Jons connections in the industry.

La Aurora Cien Anos (100 Anos) – Cigar Review

Posted by acigarsmoker on March 25th, 2011
100anosband

This review concludes La Aurora week on acigarsmoker.com. I appreciate the record number of page views and I thank those who took the time to leave a comment. I do have one question though, what causes a person to leave a comment? It seems like at times we go a while without any comment love and I would like to change that so let me know why you choose to leave a comment or why you don’t.

While at the La Aurora Cigar Factory from 3/17/11 to 3/20/11 we took part in a tasting seminar that was held by Jose Blanco in the conference room. After the tasting was complete Señor Blanco handed us each a La Aurora Cien Anos Churchill with 8 years of age on it. Well I decided to light mine up on the spot, and delve into a cigar legend. Sure I thought about reviewing it, but I was worried about the damage it might incur on the way home from the island nation that I have fallen in love with. As luck would have it, upon exiting the conference room I was handed another one, that made it home in great shape. I let it sit in my humidor for 5 days before today’s review.

Top 15 Cigars of 2010

Posted by acigarsmoker on December 31st, 2010
top15_2010

Every year many cigar smokers look forward to the yearly release of Top Cigars from Cigar Aficionado. In fact I know one person from New Jersey who usually uses that list to make a large purchase of boxes as put out by that magazine. Love them or hate them manufacturers want to get on that list. However, the last few years I have not agreed with many cigars that make the list. While the Casa Magna is a great stick was it really deserving of cigar of the year?

The criteria to make out list is simple, it had to be released in 2010.

Well after spending the better part of Sunday morning and early afternoon trying to install a plugin called User Photo I have put it to rest. The end of the year is approaching us and many changes are in store for the cigar industry. Earlier this week we broke the news about a merger happening between Miami Cigar & Company with La Aurora Cigars. As a partnership one has to assume some of the La Aurora catalog will have a reduction in price.

Friday News: IPCPR Version

Posted by acigarsmoker on August 13th, 2010
ipcpr

There are so many updates that I decided to come back a day early. Here are some memories and information about new cigars. The list is long and will continue tomorrow as well.

I guess everyone wants to know how IPCPR and to be honest I found it a little overwhelming even with crowds much lighter then normal. I pretty much took a lot of time to be a spectator and I wandered the floor looking at new products and only taking the time to introduce myself if the person was not busy. After all this is a show for retailers first, press second.

Cigar Review: La Aurora 107 Corona

Posted by acigarsmoker on July 12th, 2010
107tn

I had my first Aurora 107 Corona while on a trip to Santiago, Dominican Republic when myself and other bloggers went out to eat with the Aurora Cigar Co. While we dined at Nano’s a humidor full of cigars was presented for us to enjoy and in inside was about 50 or so Corona 107s. Needless to say there were none left come the end of the night. Well the time has come for these to be released to the masses and here is my take on them.. Remember don’t just take my word, try them for yourself and let me know what you think…

Trip Review: La Aurora Cigar Factory – Final Thoughts

Posted by acigarsmoker on May 27th, 2010
aurora1 1280x1024

As you can tell from my recaps of day 1, day 2 and day 3 the time spent with La Aurora was a chance of a lifetime that left an impression on me that I will not soon forget. It has taught me that learning about tobacco is a never ending process and while you may all trust my reviews of cigars I still have a lot to learn. I will be taking what I learned to help make this a better website for you to visit. There are certain aspects of the trip that really caught my eye that did not make it into the previous postings so I will leave you with my final thoughts and tomorrow I shall return with a review.
