La Flor Dominicana Air benders


New From La Flor Dominicana are the Air Benders. wrapped in Habano wrapper from Ecuador and the filler and binder are from LFD's farm in La Canela, Dominican Republic. The result is a very smooth, flavorful cigar with lots of body.This is the same wrapper used for the limited released Salomone's which we had in store for 3 weeks before they where all gone. These have similar taste profiles as the Salomon but are a third of the price!!

Rocky Patel 1961 and Patel brothers



New from Rocky Patel and just in our humidor is the "patel 1961" and the "Patel Brothers" cigars. 2 new full bodied cigars from the mad man who just keeps pumping out new lines.

To commemorate his birth, Rocky released his 1961 cigar. This cigar represents the inaugural release from his newest Nicaraguan factory, Tabacalera Villa Cuba. Wrapped in a dark oily Habano-seed wrapper, the cigar has a noticeable spicy finish. The 1961 cigar is medium to full bodied and will be limited in it’s production.

For the first time in his company’s history Rocky Patel has collaborated with his brother Nish Patel to create a cigar they are calling, full bodied and a powerhouse. The new cigar has tobacco from the fields of Lancaster country in Pennsylvania. The same region that brought us the Rocky Patel Winter Blend 2008. It's supposedly the same cigar as the Winter blend, which did so well they made it a permanent brand.

Fuente Queen B and King T



After years of the same old tired cigars, Fuente decided to introduce a few new sticks. The "King T" and the "queen B" .
The first one I tried was the King T.... big disappointment. The presentation is really nice, I mean, It comes in a really fancy tube. But after giving one a go I noticed all it is is the double chateau Connecticut in a tube....... FOR DOUBLE THE PRICE!!! It may not be the same exact cigar, but it tasted like the same exact cigar.

The queen b was not as big a disappointment as the King T. It is a sun grown Torpedo that comes in a cedar wrapped with a maroon/ dark red wrapper around the bottom. It actually looks a lot like the Fuente anejo (another super over-priced fuente) until you get a closer look at it. I have say though this was not a bad smoke, Very robust and Full flavored from the start. It eventually starts to smooth out a third of the way threw. It really turned into a nice cigar. I will likely be having a few more of these.
