News: New House Bill and J.C. Newman Co. Response

Yesterday Halfwheel reported that House Bill H.R. 1854 was introduced to exempt premium cigars rom regulation and to explain what

premium cigars are.  Following is a statement from Drew Newman, general counsel of J.C. Newman Cigar Co., on the new bill:

 

“We are very grateful to Representatives Kathy Castor, Bill Posey, and their bipartisan group of cosponsors for reintroducing H.R. 1854 today.  This legislation, which would exempt premium cigars from FDA regulation, is just common sense.
 
“Three years ago, FDA decided to apply the massive and costly regulatory scheme desi

gned for cigarettes onto handcrafted premium cigars, which my family has been rolling for four generations and 124 years.  FDA’s one-size-fits-all approach simply does not work for premium cigars, which is why, according to FDA’s own estimate, regulation would cause much as 50% of the American cigar industry to close.

 
“Premium cigars are a natural, agricultural product and make up just 0.01% of the overall tobacco industry.  According to the FDA’s own research, children do not smoke premium cigars, and the median adult consumer smokes just 1.7 premium cigars per month.  Therefore, there is no scientific ba

sis for treating premium cigars like cigarettes and regulating us out of business.

“In 1885, Vicente Martinez Ybor brought the cigar industry to Tampa.  His arrival transformed Tampa from a small village to the dynamic, diverse city that it is today.  Premium cigars are a very important part of Tampa’s cultural fabric and heritage, which is we greatly appreciate Congresswoman Castor’s leadership in helping to save Tampa’s hometown industry.  
“H.R. 1854 is bipartisan

News: Diesel Introduces Hair of the Dog Limited Edition Cigar

Funny enough, I just got done pretty much writing off the Whiskey Row as a cigar that just wasn’t a good fit for me.  I guess we’ll have to see how this Hair of the Dog sizes up!  I can’t remember the last time I had a night of over indulgence…

 

DIESEL INTRODUCES “HAIR OF THE DOG”

Diesel is rolling out Hair of the Dog, a limited-edition release that’s hitting retail this month. Developed by AJ Fernandez with Justin Andrews and handcrafted at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Esteli, Nicaragua, Diesel Hair of the Dog is a medium-to-full-bodied smoke  with earthy flavor, notes of pepper and a heady aroma. The blend is made entirely of Nicaraguan Habano, which is balanced by an Ecuadoran Habano wrapper and an Ecuadoran Sumatra binder.

Senior Brand Manager Justin Andrews said, “Diesel Hair of the Dog was blended to have just the right amount of kick. It’s not an overly powerful cigar, yet it really delivers on the flavor. For the cigar lover who’s looking for the hair of a dog after a night of over-indulgence, or for anyone who seeks the complexity of Nicaraguan tobacco, Hair of the Dog is definitely going to do the trick.” Diesel Hair of the Dog is available in one size, a box-pressed Toro (6” x 54). The SRP per cigar is $10.00 and the cigars are packed rustic wooden boxes, each containing 10 cigars. Just 5,000 boxes have been produced.

Hair of the Dog complements Diesel Whiskey Row, a top-selling cigar launched last year in partnership with Louisville, KY-based Rabbit Hole Bourbon.

About Diesel
Handcrafted by artisans in Esteli, Nicaragua, Diesel cigars are “bold by design.” The brand challenges the current conventions of the handmade cigar category through the bold, unapologetic style of its Cigar Master, AJ Fernandez. Diesel cigars are unified by their deeply complex flavor which is achieved through AJ’s steadfast adherence to time honored cigar making techniques and his insistence on using the highest quality tobacco. The Diesel portfolio includes Whiskey Row which launched in 2018 and Diesel Grind which debuted in 2017. For more information, visit www.dieselcigar.com.

News: Ventura Cigar Company Announces PSyKo Seven Nicaragua

Here’s some news from the folks at Ventura Cigars.  I’ve been looking forward to something new

in the PSyKo Seven line, I’ve enjoyed the other offerings and it’s been a long time since there’s been anything new.

 

Mind. Blown.

Announcing PSyKo Seven Nicaragua by Indiana Ortez for Ventura Cigar Company.

There’s a new face and cigar on the scene at Ventura Cigar Company. Introducing PSyKo SEVEN Nicaragua by Indiana Ortez, rising cigar industry star, and daughter of tobacco industry icon Omar Ortez. Set to debut at TAA 2019, this collaboration is an addition to

the popular PSyKO SEVEN brand, and offers a fresh, bold point of view from the young blender. Indiana Ortez was also the master blender behind Ventura Cigar’s Fathers, Friends, and Fire limited edition cigar, which earned industry praise when it arrived in Spring 2018. With the success of the Fathers, Friends, and Fire blend, Ventura Cigar Company teamed up with Indiana Ortez again, this time to bring PSyKo SEVEN Nicaragua to life.


Indiana spearheaded the project with her trademark enthusiasm and expertise, testing blend after blend to get exactly the essence she was looking for. The result is the bold and complex PSyKo SEVEN Nicaragua; offering rich, nuanced flavors that constantly evolve throughout the smoking experience. It’s a cigar that invites you to unleash the madness and experience the spirit of Nicaragua.



“Whenever you want to create a new blend, you need to depend on your intuition,” says Ortez. “It’s like a recipe- you can’t force making something that’s truly great. If you enjoy the process as you go through it, your intuition will guide you.”

As part of the first Nicaraguan tobacco family, Indiana has a knack for the craft in her blood. She’s been part of the industry since she was a child, inspired by her father’s passion and relentless perseverance, which was handed down from his own father. PSyKo SEVEN Nicaragua is hand-rolled in the Ortez factory, Condega Nicaragua, and is wrapped in a 2007 vintage Desflorada wrapper as a nod to the stories of those working within the tobacco industry before her.

“Every cigar has a story to tell,” says Indiana. “Every puff from a favorite cigar is the story behind the growers, the workers, the blenders- the people who have dedicated their lives to the craft.”

“Indiana has such vision,” says Michael Giannini, General Manager at Ventura Cigar Company. “She has a genuine, organic understanding for the nuances of tobacco, and knows how to bring it to life so the smoke can be enjoyed to the fullest. She’s a real talent, and we’re so pleased to be working with her and getting her passion and story blended into our PSyKo SEVEN Nicaragua cigar.”

PSyKo SEVEN Nicaragua will be available in 20-count boxes, with cigars found in three sizes: Gordo (6”x60), Robusto (5”x50), and Toro (6”x50). It joins other PSyKo SEVEN blends, which feature unexpected juxtapositions of flavor and boldness, encouraging smokers to disconnect their minds from the chaos and commotion of the everyday with an enjoyable smoke.
