News: Screwpop® Tool to Offer Revolutionary Magpulse™ Cigar Cutter

Screwpop© is at it again with another cigar accessory. This one looks neat, and I was impressed with the Chopo™ and their punches have held up very well over time. I see two areas where they seem to have strayed from their usual schtick, no key ring,and you can’t open a bo

ttle with it, but I suppose they made the same leap with their cigar ashtray too. Looks like a neat cutter!

The latest in compact and highly functional tools, Screwpop® introduces – Magpulse™ cigar cutter, a revolutionary force in cutting technology.

[arve url=”http://youtu.be/UkH_eTPNj7o” /]

Magpulse™ capitalizes on the dual properties of ultra-strong neodymium rare earth magnets. Simply press (and hold) the centralized trigger to experience Magpulse™ thrust open using “repulse” magnetic force phenomena.

When deployed, the Magpulse™ slider blade is held open by magnetic attraction to a few small metal tabs embedded within the main body assembly (trigger side). These small metal tabs serve to provide a temporary anchor (that keep the assembly open) until the trigger is completely released.

Once reoriented in the hand, the Magpulse™ trigger then works as a “semi-friction break”. It applies a small linear force to the face of the slider blade. In concert, the trigger friction-break and attraction force harmonize for a smooth closure of the Magpulse™ – resulting in a premium tip cut.

The stylish Magpulse™ is brought to life using the latest and best in CNC milling technology. Each cutter has ultra-sharp blades and the main body is milled entirely from 6061T6 aerospace grade solid aluminum billet (with a durable anodized finish for years of use).

Manufacturing — CNC Machined

Main Body — 6061T6 Aerospace Grade Aluminum Bill

So I hope to try the new Archetype offerings soon.

Podcast: CigarCraig Podcast Episode Four

In this, the fourth episode of the CigarCraig podcast, I present another recap of the Drew Estate Pennsylvania Barnsmoker held Saturday, June 23, 2018 in Strasburg, PA., this time with Pedro Gomez, Drew Estate’s Factory Spokesman. Pedro talks to me about the event. A full recap of the event can be found here. I had hoped to talk with a few other people at the event, but everyone there is so busy, it’s hard to get people to get a few minutes uninterrupted, which, you’ll hear, didn’t even happen with Pedro, who was very generous with his time (we go way back!). Barnsmoker’s are a good time, a great mix of education, good food and smokes a great people. If there’s one you can get to, I recommend attending one if you can. I can hardly imagine one being disappointed if one were a fan of anything cigar related.

That’s all for today, until the next time,

CigarCraig

News: Drew Estate Releases Isla del Sol Maduro and Isla del Sol Sun Grown Gordito

For the fans of the coffee infused cigars, here’s some news from Drew Estate. I don’t mind a Java or a Tabak Especiale, but I can’t say as I’ve ever smoked a Isla del Sol, but I’m certainly not opposed to trying them, and they are easy on the wallet. I look forward to seeing these hit the market.

Drew Estate announces its long awaited national release of Isla del Sol Maduro, the maduro wrapped blend of Isla del Sol, and the Gordito size of Isla del Sol Sun Grown, our original line of Isla del Sol, which will both be displayed in Drew Estate’s Booth at the IPCPR Convention and Tradeshow held, July 14-17, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Isla del Sol Maduro by Drew Estate is a premium handmade cigar blended with a rare triple-Nicaraguan-leaf mix, infused with coffee, and wrapped in luscious maduro leaf that’s garnished with a sweetened cap. The infusion process, great burn and draw, cocoa notes and mellow room aroma create an island of joy during the smoke.

Isla del Sol Maduro will be featured in the following vitolas:

Isla del Sol Maduro Robusto 5 x 52, 10 Count Box, MSRP $50
Isla del Sol Maduro Toro 6 x 52, 10 Count Box, MSRP $54
Isla del Sol Maduro Gran Corona 5 x 44, 10 Count Box, MSRP $46
Isla del Sol Maduro Churchill 7 x 50, 10 Count Box, MSRP $58

Isla del Sol Sun Grown Gordito is a 6 x 60 vitola and comes in a 16 Count Box, MSRP $91.52.

The Isla del Sol Maduro and Isla del Sol Sun Grown Gordito are shipping in September.
