LAST RITES VIATICUM will be available toBLTC retailers at this years IPCPR. This is a small batch release offered on a first-come, first-serve basis to retailers attending IPCPR 2019. Shipping will commence this fall.
“We wanted to release a cigar exclusively for IPCPR attendees as a way of showing our appreciation for the retailers who
come to support our brands and the show. Last Rites
has always been a special cigar to me. It was the first cigar I blended on my own, and I blended it to my personal tastes. It’s everything I wanted out of a cigar and a perfect representation of Black Label Trading Co. To celebrate our sixth anniversary, I wanted to do a Special Edition of the Last Rites. The Viaticum is an evolution of the Last Rites blend. It uses most of the same tobaccos but in different proportions and primings. It’s rich, dark and elegant just like Nicaraguan tobacco. We also box pressed the cigar like the original 2013 release,“says James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at FabricaOveja Negra.

I just mentioned the Fratello Firecracker earlier today. Iâm not a big fan of âlittle cigarsâ, but I recognize that they have their place, and these do sound tasty, and Omar hasnât missed yet as far as Iâm concerned. Despite the name, Iâm quite sure these done have holes in them! Â

One more, I promise! I only smoked one Cosecha and it was the 2012 and it was at the Mombacho Media party in Las Vegas. It was an outdoor event and not the best conditions to smoke a cigar. However, smoking it was the only option, and it was very good, despite the hot and dry conditions. I have some great memories from that evening. I know a place around here to get Mombacho cigars, maybe I’ll get my hands on one of these one of these days.

I’m a sucker for the Firecrackers, they are a great little smoke with a big cigar taste. One of my favorite cigar memories was smoking a Fratello Firecraker on the Spanish Steps in Rome. I just thought there was so much irony in that, and it was a great cigar for walking around that wonderful city. I’ll look forward ordering some of this year’s Kristoff Firecrackers too!
2019 Edition of the Firecracker To Be Released On June 24th
In 2006 Two Guys Smoke Shop owner David Garofalo came up with a concept that would become one of the most sought after limited edition cigars each Independence Day. The cigar came to fruition when Don Pepin Garcia was visiting Two Guys Smoke Shop for a series of events. It was at one of these events that Garofalo asked Garcia to roll a cigar with a fuse on it. After some hesitation Garcia rolled the cigar that would become a signature release for the New Hampshire based retailer.
Since 2006 the cigar has seen versions from My Father Cigars, Tatuaje (in the form of an M80), La Flor Dominicana, RoMaCraft, Fratello and DTT’s Mi Querida. In addition the cigar sees an ongoing production version from Jose Dominguez.
This year the first Firecracker release comes from Glen Case and Kristoff Cigars. It’s based off the Pistoff Kristoff blend which features a San Andres wrapper over Indonesia binder and Nicaragua fillers. The blend starts off with a bang and continues right through the explosive finish.
The Pistoff Kristoff Firecracker which is limited to 250 boxes will go on sale at 10am on June 24th via their online website 2GuysCigars.com.
They will retail for $6.99 each or boxes of 20 with a discounted price of $119.99.
