I’ve had only a handful of cuban cigars in the past. Some were better than others. I’ve noticed that although cuban cigars have been plagued with consistency issues, the newer releases seem to be less prone to those problems. I know it’s tough to get a hold of these smokes, but if you do, I’d love to hear what you think of these new smokes from Habanos S.A. Here’s the press release:
Wow, Oliva is introducing a new size for their Cain line, the Lancero. With a unanimous vote from the Board of Studio Tobac, Oliva is going to begin to produce their new Cain F Lancero. However, according to the press release, “the lancero will not be in regular production and therefore will not be for sale to the general public. The Cain F Lancero will only be available in The Limited Edition Studio Tobac Cigar Sampler.” The Cain F Lancero is likely to be packaged in an aluminum tube along with other limited edition cigars to be gifted with a box purchase. Sounds like the presentation alone is going to be an attraction.
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.
MIAMI, July 1 /PRNewswire/ — If you thought that the Cubans are leading the world in brand identity with cigars, think again. Right now, the number one buzzword in the cigar industry is Gurkha. The brainchild behind this phenomenon is a gentleman by the name of Kaizad Hansotia. Growing intentionally in the luxury space and all but running from the mainstream cigar market has been unique. “Our focus has always been on exclusive, limited availability tobaccos, serving up the most unique and flavorful blends,” said Hansotia, affectionately known in the industry as ‘Kaizer.’ Even the international world has taken note of Gurkha, on top of the largest market in the United States, India and China are expanding in wealth. Now a limited group of professionals are growing the luxury segment. They have requested Gurkha as the leader and called for them by name.
Tonight I will be at the launch of the La Palina Cigars event and this is the press release for the cigar that is due out in stores soon!
In June 2010, Bill Paley will re-launch La Palina, a storied cigar brand famously linked to the early and fortuitous beginnings of CBS Broadcasting founded by Bill’s father, William S. Paley. The brand debuts with the introduction of the “1896” cigar series, fittingly dedicated to Paley’s grandfather, Sam Paley, who founded the Congress Cigar Company in 1896. It was William S. Paley’s interest in promoting La Palina through the use of radio advertising that led him into the broadcasting business.
APRIL 5, 2010, MIAMI, FL – Camacho Cigars, makers of the widely popular LegendArio brand, proudly announces it’s launch of the NEW LegendArio Connecticut cigars. This new blend features an Ecuadorian grown Connecticut wrapper, and fillers from both Honduras and the Dominican Republic. The LegendArio Connecticut’s flavor profile is quite pleasant and provides for a rich, creamy, and savory smoking experience with medium strength. As with the original LegendArio release, the NEW Connecticut delivers top quality tobacco and construction at a very reasonable price point.
Santiago, DR…12 March 2010…As with their very successful Preferidos, Cien Años and 1495, La Aurora has taken their time in the next step in their 107 year history as Dominican’s oldest cigar maker.
“We had defined our goal early on,” said Guillermo Leon, La Aurora VP, “and that was to bring the smokers a medium bodied, richly flavoured smoke with a fair amount of spice – at a very attractive price.”
Using Dominican, Nicaraguan and Ecuadorian tobaccos, the blending process went through dozens of iterations before achieving a cigar that brings a balanced flavour that is peppery, sweet and provides toasty notes.
