Here we are at the halfway point, six days down and lots more to come! I was more surprised at the number of people who hadn’t smoked Joya de Nicaragua than Tortuga, just because the Joya has a far wider distribution and has been around something like 42 years longer! Both are great, but this Tortuga 215 Reserva Regalo is something very special. The winner of the Tortuga cigars is Craig (Bowden), who has the good sense to be named Craig, but that had no bearing on the outcome of the random number generator (65). Please send your address.
Arandoza Cigars
It’s Day 7 of CigarCraig’s 12 Spectacular Days of Cigar Giveaways! Once again we have a treat from the folks at Arandoza Cigars, a box of 20 of the Arandoza White Label Doble Corona. This is a traditional sized double corona at 7 ¼” x 49 and comes from the La Zona Factory in Esteli. The White Label is a step up in strength from the Blue Label, well balanced and refined. I have a box of robustos myself and love them! If you like great cigars, you’re sure to like these. Robert Arango is really doing things right with the Arandoza brand and I thank him for participating yet again!

Congrats Craig! Those Arandoza whites are pretty damn good!
Have heard of the cigar but have never tried them.
A brand that I intend to try in the very near future. I need to place an order with a online retailer, I think I’ll add some of their sticks to give them a shot!
Just tried to add them…no stock available. Anyone know where I can grab some?
I’ve not had the good fortune to smoke an Arandoza… YET. I hear really good things, so I’d like to rectify that situation!
Another cigar I’d like to try but haven’t. I need to get out more.
Those look yummy
I’ve been waiting for the Arandozas to show up in my neck of the woods. Maybe they will now. 😉
These just look all sorts of amazing.
Great looking cigars. Nice band and box as well
Fantastic prize. Perfect vitola!
Haven’t been able to get these yet out my way. Would love to try them and share them with friends.
Arandoza are simply put great cigars, flavor and construction.
Another I havent tried. Come on lucky 7!
Just checked out their website: arandozacigars.com they look delicious!
Another one I haven’t tried, maybe I’ll be lucky this time .
I have only had the White and its was pretty damn good. Thanks Craig and good luck everyone.
Never tried, which makes them high on my want list 🙂
These look damn good
Those cigars look great, would love to try some
I have never tried this one but am looking forward to!
Some great looking smokes Craig!
Very nice
Haven’t tried these but I’ve heard good things about them.
Another great smoke.
Another great giveaway. How’d I get so lucky to be able to follow your blog? I’m not worthy!
It just keeps getting better!
Outside shovelling the snow last night having a gar in the cold. Those Arondoza Whites would make it truly a white Christmas.
Keep the good job Craig.
Great smoke!
Seen it… Never tried it… 🙂
Haven’t had this one, but La Zona puts out a lot of quality smokes.
The only thing sexier than winning a box of cigars…. JJO
MENDOZA!!!
Had the Arandoza Red. White sounded nice as it is puro Nicaraguan if I remember correctly.
This will be another new one for me. Thanks Craig.
Never had theses. Would love to try them.
Again, hadn’t really heard much of them til now but as you said, if you like great cigars, you’re sure to like these…so I guess I am going to like them!
they “WILL” look good -BY- my tree. If I win, I’ll smoke’em right away. No waiting.;)
Another cigar I need to add to my bucket list. Great contest
You had me at Arandoza, then you said Corona…….oh momma!!!! I have been very impressed with Arandoza’s products.. Thanks again for the contest.
craig, thanks for these contests.
Nice, never heard of them.
Never seen or tried them.
I’d love to try the Arandozas. None of my local shops carry them.
More cigars from Arandoza – nice!! Had it and enjoyed it.
Holy Crap how did I forget about the 12 days giveaways!!! Merry Christmas
once again, a cigar brand i’ve never smoked before.
Another good looking stick I haven’t tried. It would be nice to though.
I have never smoked an Arandoza cigar, I have only seen photos. I have heard good things.
boom! Never had the white, myself. Sounds tasty!
Look lovely, but not as lovely as the Cohiba siglo VI’ the wife got me today 😉
Never had these, but would love to try them.
Cant wait to try one!
Great looking Cigar!
Not available in my area yet, but I will order some with my next order!
I love the Arandoza White.
Nice post. Never heard of Arandoza but would love to try them.
Yes please!
Again, another cigar I have yet to try. Looking over the reviews here and elsewhere, they seem like a great smoke.
Congrats to all of the winners so far, especially the ones representing Ward B!
I would like to try these
Those look nice.
A great company out of La Zona that has great cigars.
Nice looking box, never tried them, but willing. 🙂
Never had these. They look great.
As a fairly newer cigar lover, I like to try a different stick each time. Arandoza is one that I have not tried OR seen in my area. Hoping for a chance to try several!
Look nice. never tried one. love to give to my local BOTL club
Eager to try.
Never heard of them, but I’m still fairly new in this game. I love the size, thanks for doing this fun little giveaway.
Never had an Arandoza. Have a blue resting though. Thanks
Very eager to try! Love the size and also love the white box…so clean! Thanks!
looks good
Shiny!
Want to try it
Nice! Arandoza Red was one of my favorite new cigars this year.
Oh how I would love to be the winner of this glorious box of fine cigars. Gets me warm and fuzzy inside.
What comes to mind with Arandoza is good strength and flavors and En Fuego Cigars in Vegas.. cause that is where I get them!!
I would love to try this cigar!
Gorgeous cigar looks absolutely delicious! The Esteli factories deliver, dollar for dollar, some of the best stogies on the planet. Love the beautiful box as well. All in all this one looks like a real winner!
A little stronger than the Blue Label??? Interesting!!!!
Love that size, but winter in WV means finding somewhere warm (and preferably indoors) to enjoy it.
When I think of Arandoza, I think of all the great cigars coming out of the La Zona factory. Even the value-priced La Zona Habano is great.
Great giveaway. Best of luck all.
These look like great smokes. Never had them before.
Thank you Robert Arango and Craig for your cigars.
I never win anything… :-<
They look good… never heard if them though.
Love the name and the look. Anxious to apply fire to one between my lips.
Look very tasty and I would really enjoy giving the Arandoza White Label a try. 🙂
Haven’t had one and just recently have started to see them around
Love to give those a try
Even if I don’t win anything, you’ve put a lot of new (to me) smokes on my radar for me to hunt down. This one also falls into that category.
New to me, pretty box!
Never smoked one, but these look like they would be a great after work smoke.
Come on lucky #7 I’d love to have these
Missed yesterday somehow. Congrats to Brian and Craig on the last 2 days winnings! And thanks to Craig for doing this giveaway. Good luck to all!
On the 7th day of Christmas The East India Company gave to me……….
Sweet I’ll smoke one
Sweet lookin’ box!!
I wish I knew something about this line of cigars, but I’ve not had that chance, so I’ll just have to settle for a “Merry Christmas” instead.
Yummy
Never tried these! Hope I win today. Even the box looks amazing.
Never had these, but they look good
Would love to try
Go ahead and send those out to me…
I have not yet been able to smoke one of these, maybe this will be my chance.
