Among the various LCA cigars slated for April, such as the Batista Montenegro cigar and the Sinistro Plata O Plomo – Tiffany Limited Edition, is the Kafie 1901 Grey Wolf cigar. Here at OGT, we have seen Kafie’s blending style before. The New Year Lancero, Año Vieja was his first collaboration with the Limited Cigar […]
We are coming up on the LCA release for April, and this time, there are not two cigars to watch for, but four! That’s right, the usual LCA drop, this time a Lancero from Sisnistro, is accompanied by three others. I guess that means there is an LCA plus, a plus plus, and a plus […]
There is an array of amazing Connecticut Broadleaf wrapped cigars in the industry. Some of them are personal favorites, not least of which is Roma Craft Tobac’s Cromagnon. At first glance, it looks like an intimidating cigar. The oily, toothy sheen that covers the cigar is stunning and nearly black. Most Maduro cigars in the […]
Each year, Matt Booth creates an Anniversary stick to commemorate his time in the industry under his company’s name Room 101. We have seen a number of fantastic blends in his Anniversary portfolio, however, none perhaps as rich and strong as his latest 12th Anniversary toro. It’s no secret Matt Booth likes to work with […]
Each year Matt Booth releases an anniversary stick to commemorate his time in the industry and the Room 101 brand. One of the first sticks to fall in this category is the 10th Anniversary cigar. It is no secret Matt Booth has a flair for graphic design, and the labels on the 10th Anniversary are […]
I am very excited about this one. The last time we saw Matt Booth of Room 101 cigars and AJ Fernandez team-up was in a blend called the T. That-blend-was-fantastic. This is the second cigar blended by Mr. Booth for Luxury Cigar Club. The first was the mild, golden Figarado of Johnny Tobacconaut. The Snake […]
Released by Tim Swanson of Cigars Daily and American Viking Cigars, Dama Valada is a truly unique smoke. Rolled and blended in the Plasencia factory, like all American Viking sticks, the Dama Valada uses high primings of Nicaraguan tobacco. When I think of the smoking experience of Dama Valada I think of a balance between […]
St. Patty’s day is just around the corner, and what does that mean? Well yes, aside from having your favorite ale or Irish whiskey, or convincing yourself that Jameson is the best whiskey on the planet, that means some amazing limited editions in the cigar world. Aside from must-have holiday sticks like the Shamrock barber […]
The release of the Cigar 1 duo by JC Newman and Privada Cigar Club brings two different blends, the Rose and Cream. I had mentioned the Privada Good Life from JC Newman, which uses a high priming Connecticut Broadleaf. The blend is a great expression of the tobacco, offering notes of Chocolate cake, dark earth, […]
So, what can I say about these cigars? This is a big project by Privada Cigar Club and J.C. Newman Cigar Factory. The concept: that one cigar for every occasion for every palate. We always hear that you can’t craft a cigar that is meant for everyone. The diversity of palates causes this statement to […]
