News: Black Label Trading Co Announces Memento Mori

Still on vacation. This came through and I wanted to share. Posted from my phone as I’m traveling light. Looks like a cigar I’ll like! I imagine we’ll get them in Son’s!

 

Black Label Trading Company(BLTC) is releasing MEMENTO MORI in three vitolas to select retailers early next month. Memento Mori is is hand crafted at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua.

 

MEMENTO MORI is symbolic of the inevitability of death and serves as a reminder tomorrow is not promised. Live life today.

 

“Memento Mori is exactly what you envision when you think of a Black Label Trading Co. cigar. From its appearance to its flavor profile, this cigar is all about the darkness. The Memento Mori started as a factory exclusive, and I loved it so much, I wanted to release it to the general public. The flavor profile is bold, rich, earthy, with notes of dried dark fruits and bitter cocoa. The retrohale brings the spice with white pepper, and cinnamon on the finish. Overall, this cigar is the perfect balance between strength and complexity,” says James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra.

TPE2022: ATL Cigars

I’m off on v

acation with my wife on a tropical island for a few days, so here’s the last of my videos from the Tobacco Plus Expo last mon th. I liked the guys from ATL Cigars and I enjoyed their cigars. I especially enjoyed the Magic, as I mentioned in the video. Peter and Leroy were cool dudes. 

 

 

I’m taking cigars I enjoy on my trip, so I don’t know that I’ll have much new to talk about on Sunday, but I’ll certainly try to come up with somethi

ng for my usual post. That’s all for today, until the next time,

TPE2022: Recluse Cigars and an Amadeus Los Cabos

I first learned of Iconic Leaf and Recluse Cigars at the 2012 IPCPR show where I talked to them about their cigars. I was pleased to see Scott Weeks at the TPE after not having seen him for several years. I still have a handful of Recluse cigars in my humidor, but one I

never got around to trying was the Recluse Amadeus Los Cabos.  The original Amadeus has a bit of a sentimental place for me, it’s a nice Connecticut wrapped cigar, and the Habano version is very nice, so this is the third in the series. It’s named for Cabo San Lucas in Mexico because that’s a po

pular vacation spot, and a cigar is a little vacation, which is something I’ve said for years: it’s my daily vacation. It has a San Andrés wrapper over a Sumatra binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.  It’s box pressed and, like all of the cigars made in this factory, rolled entubado. The burn and draw were excell ent, and it was a tasty smoke. It has some dark fruit and earthy flavors, with hints of coffee and cocoa.  I’m sorry it took so long for me to try th

is one, I guess I’m going to have to get some more, as I only mooched one of these off of Scott at the show. I wanted to smoke the Factory Production Run sample that Scott talks about in the video, but time wasn’t on my side this week.  

 

Today’s video with Scott Weeks from the TPE runs quite a bit longer than most of my videos. If you know of Scott, you’ll understand, he’s not prone to brevity. Scott is the king of folksy clichés, and sprinkles a few here and there throughout the video. He’s a good dude, I always enjoy spending time with him. 

 

 

This week is going to be tricky as my wife and I are taking a long weekend to a tropical location. I’ll try to get some content posted before leaving, then i should be back for my usual Sunday BS, where maybe I’ll have something to talk about from the trip. Anyway, that’s all for today, until the next time,

TPE 2022: Casa Cuevas Cigars

I met Luis Cuevas for the first time at the 2020 TPE and we hit it off pretty well, like we had known one another for years. Anyway, I decided to post this video tonight in honor of the passing of Carlos Toraño, while I never had the pleasure of meeting him, I know several of his family members, and my

condolences go out to them. If you are wondering how this relates to the Cuevas family, I think I mention it in the video, many of the Toraño cigars were made by Cuevas.  The two families are intertwined in cigar history.

News: Sylent Green Announced and Buddy Packs Launching

I’ve tried some early samples of this project a while ago and it’s a really interesting concept. The candela leaf in the filler adds an interesting and unique component to the blend that’s quite pleasing and different! I can’t wait to smoke more of these!  I wonder if they took into account that the movie Soylent Green takes place in 2022? I’m guessing they did…

 

From the creative minds of Kevin Shahan of Cigar Prop and Kerr Viajante of Stogie Road Cigars….Blended by Sinistro Cigars.  We bring you…..SYLENT GREEN!!!

 

Sylent Green is more than a blend that’s never been done before. It’s a vision and a passion.

 

Sylent Green is a one-time short run that is packaged in an interactive “buddy pack”. Each Sylent Green Buddy Pack will include 6 Premium 5X52 Robusto Cigars; 2 of each blend and a thank you letter with instructions for the next step.

 

There will be a QR code that leads to a survey where the customer will vote which blend is their favorite.

 

The blend with the most votes will go into full production. This puts the future blend that will be in full production in the hands of the people.

 

Kerr Viajante says; “Kevin and I both are big fans of candela tobacco because of its unique flavor and the storied history of the tobacco. Kevin shared his vision with me, and I was all in immediately! Three different blends with different percentages of candela are in the filler. The candela is silent.”

 

Kevin Shahan says; ”

When I first imagined this cigar, I immediately wanted to partner with someone that shared the love of candela tobacco as much as I did, and there is only one person that shares the love of the green leaf as much as me, Kerr Viajante of Stogie Road Cigars”.

 

“For humanity’s sake, I had to work on this project. Kerr was talking about using real humans in the blends, “to make it real as the movie” We tried a few like Kerr wanted then (no bueno) Kev

in suggested we try the Candela as a filler. Great idea, and no other humans were harmed after that.”sa

id James Razmig Agopian.

 

This is the first collaboration between Cigar prop and Stogie Road Cigar; we are honored by having James and the entire Sinistro Cigar Crew complete the Sylent Green Team. Sylent Green will be available will be available on February 15th exclusively online at VS

Rcigarfam.com.

 

The winning blend will go into full production and be available for brick and mortar later in 2022
