News: Reinado Premium Cigars Adding
Grand Apex 6 X 60

Here’s one more news item from my friend Antonio at Reinado Cigars. Why all the news while I’m sitting on my balcony overlooking the ocean trying to relax with nothing but an iPhone to publish content with? Got

ta head to the beach and light up a cigar…

 

Reinado Cigars will begin shipping the new Grand Apex 6 X 60 in February. Production will be at Aganorsa’s TABSA factory in Nicaragua. It joins

the current Robusto Extra, which measures 5.5 x 52.

 

“Early indications of success for this blend have provided the leverage required to expand the Grand Apex product line,” said Antonio Lam, owner of Reinado Premium Cigars, in a press release. “The quality of tobacco included from Aganorsa Leaf in our blend has created a buzz on social media as well as brick and mortar retail shops.

 

The robusto extra has also been included among reputable brands on several Top Cigars of 2021 lists. We’re happy to have such positive responses to the robusto extra and are thrilled to be releasing a larger vitola for the consumers wanting more of the rich notes
found in the blend.”

 

The Grand Apex blend utilizes a San Andres wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers. The 6 X 60 size will have an MSRP of $12.75 per cigar. Production will be initially 3,000 cigars in 15-count boxes. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Dementia Society of America.

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.
