Press Release: Davidoff to Introduce New “Puro d’Oro” Cigar

Yesterday I received an email asking me about the new Davidoff Puro d’Oro. Unfortunately, I was only vaguely aware of it from seeing Tweets by Danielle Hawthorne and could not answer the email with anything useful. To try and remedy that problem, I contacted Danielle and asked if she would be so kind as to send me any press information she may have available.

Danielle was awesome and had press information to me in short order. I was able …

Press Release: La Gloria Cubana Artesanos De Tabaqueros

Two weeks ago I found myself in the right place at the right time. I was chatting it up on Twitter and got to talking with Jackie from Bonita Smoke Shop. She made mention of the new Artesanos De Tabaqueros from General Cigar Co. and I asked if that stick would be in addition to the Artisanos De Miami or a replacement.

As luck would have it, Jackie was able to get me a response right away. Her local …

Thoughts on the new Camacho LegendArio Connecticut

Sometime last month I was hanging out at Kensington Tobacconist chatting it up with the owner. After a little while he began separating his latest Camacho Cigars shipment to be loaded into the humidor as we continued to talk. Somewhere along the way he handed me a sales brochure that was included in the box and asked me if I had heard about this new Connecticut LegendArio.

That was the very first time I heard about this new line …

The 2009 Tarries Cigar Award Show

It’s the cigar award show you didn’t realize you were eagerly awaiting. The Tarries celebrates the unusual aspects of the cigar industry, shining an industrial-sized spotlight on dubious distinctions that may be either points of pride or the stuff of shame. But either way, nothing anyone wants to be known for!

And without further ado, may I have the envelopes please…

First Look: La Flor Dominicana Air Bender

Had the pleasure of getting together with doc8466 at W.Curtis Drapers today. Upon entering, we were greeted by the usual faces plus Litto Gomez, the man behind La Flor Dominicana. I knew Litto was in the area doing events at a few local cigar shops but didn’t see Drapers as one of his stops. So it was a pleasant surprise to see him.

Litto and the guys from Drapers were nice enough to gift me his latest release in the …
