News: Sam Leccia Banned From 2011 IPCPR Trade Show *Updated 7/17/11*

Posted by acigarsmoker on July 16th, 2011

The following was posted by Sam Leccia on his Facebook account moments ago, “I am saddened to announce that my Debut is on hold. I have been barred from attending the Cigar Show by court order. I will however, be vigorously pursuing Oliva’s failure to fulfill it’s contractual obligations to me and my family. I have faith in the legal system and I will see you all as soon as possible. Thank You all, from the bottom of my heart, for your continued support.”

This is sad news and it is quite obvious the Nub brand has developed well without Sam at the helm, and one would think the marketplace would be big enough for both to get a piece of. It also leaves a sour taste in our stomach as this piece of gamesmanship is pretty petty. More as it develops…

La Aurora 1495 Sumo Robusto – Cigar Review

Posted by acigarsmoker on June 15th, 2011

Last September I flew down to Miami to hang out with Jason Wood and the Miami Cigar Crew. While there a person was interviewing for a job as a sales representative by the name of Raphael Delgado. The two of us hit it off and became friends. He was assigned the Maryland/West Virginia/Delaware/Washington DC territory and did a lot of his training up in New York. We became good friends, and this past week I got some bad news that he was being shipped to Texas to take over that area. So to all my Texas readers when you see him out there, take good care of him. He is as good as they come.

Another plus is when I left I was given a box of La Aurora Sumo Robusto cigars. These cigars were available in the European market and are now set to be release here in the states. I smoked the box pretty quick and before I knew it they were gone …

Not everyone knows that all aspect of a cigar are art forms. From seedling, fermentation, blending, the rolling table , to the years of aging, there’s a lot of pride, tradition and patience in making a good cigar. Over three hundred (300!) pairs of hands handle the tobacco from start to finish. It truly is [...]

Studio Tobac ST-DS001 – Cigar Review

Posted by acigarsmoker on May 13th, 2011
STDS001_Band

A few weeks ago I was at Cigar Expo helping out the guys from Miami Cigar & Company by manning the La Aurora Cigar booth. The regular rep had an even scheduled in Philadelphia so I was asked by the VP of Sales to cover for him. While there I ran into Ian Hummel from Oliva Cigars & Studio Tobac. At the end of the show when I went to say goodbye and he gifted me an Oliva V. I noticed a cigar in his pocket, and being the rude bastard I can be I lifted it out to see what it was. Well, Ian insisted I take it and smoke it despite my refusal. The last thing I want to create with this blog is a vehicle for free cigars. I don’t wish to be considered a cigar weasel. With Ian reassuring me I wasn’t I accepted the cigar.

Viaje Skull & Bones WMD – Cigar Review

Posted by acigarsmoker on April 15th, 2011
ViajeSkullWMDBand

I try to keep and open mind when reviewing cigars that do not fit my profile, and every now and then I find what I consider to be a gem with Cro-Magnon. And I will be the first to preface this review by stating the cigar does not fit my profile. But I like to think that I review a cigar fairly based upon the construction, notes, characteristics and more. I do not hate Andre Farkas the brand owner of Viaje and to be honest I only met him for 10 seconds at IPCPR in 2010. With that said and done, I find more of the Viaje cigars to be a miss instead of a hit. I know I am in the minority, as Viaje has a cult following. However, I wonder if the cult following is because of the cigars, or the rarity of them.

Will the Skull & Bones Weapons of Mass Destruction blow me away, or will it be a dud?

Cigar News: Nub Line Extensions & Studio Tobac

Posted by acigarsmoker on January 6th, 2011
Photos courtesy of Nub and Oliva

Looks like Studio Tobac is planning to include tubos to the Nub line of cigars. As we know the former face of the brand Sam Leccia is gone from Oliva Cigars. The reason behind is leaving is open to speculation and we’re probably not going to find out soon – based on this article by stogiereview.

Anyway, tangents aside, at a small Tuesday gathering at the Cigar Inn, Barry took out his trusty smart-phone and shared a peek of Nub’s new packaging. Looks like the Nubs are going to come in small tubos too and let’s hope the prices of these competitively priced tasty smokers aren’t going to be raised.

Cigar Review: Cain F Nub

Posted by acigarsmoker on May 12th, 2010
cainnublabel

Nub Cigars are something I hold near and dear to my heart. While not necessarily my favorite cigar on the market I always reach for them on occasion because of what they they mean for the history of this website. More then 2 years ago at the launch for Nub I went to an event where I met Sam Leccia the founder and creator of Nub Cigars. It was his words that inspired me to start this website which has continued to grow since its inception. I have met many new friends because of it, some of who are very dear to my heart. It has also opened the door to an industry I so want to be a part of. While I have not yet found a job within the cigar world, I feel I provide a service to my fellow Brothers & Sisters of the Leaf. So thank you once again Sam for you inspiration.

At first glance the Nub looks like something my grandfather would have in his mouth all day. The cigar comes in 3 variations (Nicaraguan Natural, Connecticut Natural, and Nicaraguan Cameroon) and four different sizes (ranging from 3.7″ to 4″). The cigar
