WELCOME BACK! HAPPY NEW YEAR! The night is here! The time is right! It's time for the #ELOsoFumarTakes Top 10 Cigars of 2024! Once again, the legendary George Brightman joins us for the Top 10 Countdown for the ages! I've sent George my top ten cigars for him to sample and taste test blind. He gives an honest breakdown alongside my own assessments, Enjoy! Criteria: 1) It's vitola based. 2) I had to have smoked the cigar for the first time in the last year and a half.* 3) It must not suck. 4)No limited edition cigars (i.e. TAA, shop exclusive) are eligible. 5) A previous number 1 cigar winner (blend-specific, i.e. 2017 Winner Espinosa Habano) cannot be on this year's Top 10 or repeat as winner.* 6) A company cannot have more than 1 cigar on the Top 10, however, may be considered for honorable mention.* 7)THE BIG ONE: frequency of smoke. Basically, I had to have the means AND opportunity AND did, in fact, smoke the cigar frequently. Just to review, here is last year's list: Top 10 2023: 1) Gran Habano 20th Anniversaro Edicion Limitada El Sueno 2) Luciano Cigars Maria Lucia 3) Black Label Trading Co Deliverance Porcelain Robusto 4) Alec Bradley Double Broadleaf Gran Corona 5) Casa Cuevas Sangre Nueva Double Perfecto 6) Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Connecticut Short Churchhill 7) Quesada Cigars Liga F toro 8) HVC Selección No. 1 Natural Poderosos 9) United Toro Maduro 10) Kristoff Cigars Guardrail Robusto You can listen to last year's show HERE.

Ashton is a company that does not come out with new cigars every year. Going into this year's Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, the company had its first new release in two years. During this time, much of the focus has been on the La Aroma de Cuba line. As for the new cigar, it's the La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut. It's the sixth regular production blend to fall under the La Aroma de Cuba line. As the name indicates, it is a Connecticut Shade release - the first in the La Aroma de Cuba portfolio. The cigar started shipping just prior to the 2023 PCA Trade Show. It's also a cigar that made a big impression on the Cigar Coop Coalition team. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-qfr

From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Andy Green of Ashton Cigars. Our team's visit to the Ashton booth was quite interesting. We actually made two visits to the booth. The first day we somehow got on the topic of our first Ashton smoking experiences, and it seemed like we each had a memory to tell. On the second day, we got a chance to interview Vice President of Sales Andy Green. Ashton's booth had been simplified from recent PCA/IPCPR Trade Shows, but the good news was there was a new line to talk about in 2021 with the La Aroma de Cuba Pasión!

Download Episode 22 Here Audio Feeds: Video Feeds: Stogie(s) of the Week This un-banded was sent to us from SG listener Adam L.(aka: ATL @botl.org). A big thank you to Adam! Spoiler Alert: The cigar is revealed at the end of the show notes. This week we are drinking What We Have Been Smoking Paul's List Opus X Lost City Robusto - Outstanding, fabulous, wonderful smoke! Some Opus leather, hints of sweetness, not overpowering, smooth, love everything but the $28.50 price tag. Elogio Habano Corona - Just okay, had some nice flavors up front, but detected some bitterness in the second half. I want to re-visit. Fiver. Viaje TNT (2011) - Cigar opened up nicely, cedar type flavors, but overall was just okay. The original TNT was FAR better. Try one to see for yourself. Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversario - Fantastic smoke, very thin wrapper, nice easy-to-smoke flavors, wood with some sweetness. Not worth the price tag. Viaje Exclusivo Tower Cigars - Great smoke, nice Viaje type flavors, earth, smooth. Fiver. Liga Underdown Viva! - Viva thumbs down. Try one, did not like the flavors all that much, I guess I expected more. It is more concentrated, but so many other sticks are far better. La Aurora Cien Anos Robusto - Outstanding flavors! Nice wood-type flavor that is very prominent, but simply enjoyable to taste and smoke. Loved every inch of this cigar, a winner for sure, box worthy. Cohiba Siglo II (2005 - Some say this taste like flowers and soap. I got some strong floral notes, but I liked them. The finish is much deeper and rich, almost cocoa. Love this cigar! Tatuaje Capa Especial NHC - Outstanding flavors! Nice wood-type flavor that is very prominent, but simply enjoyable to taste and smoke. Loved every inch of this cigar, a winner for sure, box worthy. Opus X Rising 2009 - Little information about this cigar exists. It's a strong candidate for some of the best Opus X has to offer. Loved the spice, leather Davidoff Millenium Pyramid - Nice smooth smoke, not heavy earth by any stretch, more of a light floral or wood. Nice change of pace. Still not worth the $18-$20 price tag. Fiver for sure. Too expensive for box worthy, though they age well and I sometimes consider it, however the Colorado Claro is around the same price and is so much better (boxes of 10 for the Millennium Pyramid and Claro sizes). Padron 45th Anniversary Maduro - Nice subtle changes, lots of spice, a little pepper, and cocoa undertones. Not as good as I remember though, still, you have to have a box of these bad boys. Davidoff Selecion 702 - This was an awesome smoke, great flavors, lots of changes, outstanding smoking experience. Tough to place the flavors, but I wish I had at least 5 of these, at $20 a stick its steep, but still worth 5. They are from 2009 though, so age plays a factor. Paul Gamarian Symphony 20th (Toro) - The flavors are amazing, but I can't get over the strength on these! It seems they got stronger over time, I have to admit I was a little sick and I smoked it after dinner at night. However, it did seem a little wet and wouldn't stay lit, so I was puffing hard on it. Need to re-visit, this one is a fiver for now. The salamone is box-worthy for sure, smoked that one on fathers day and I'm in love with it, I don't want more, I NEED more. La Flor Dominicana Conneticutt - This one comes from the "cheap lighter" gift set. It had very bread and buttery flavors, good smoke, grab a gift set or two, they are worth it. EP Limitada 2010 Dark Ritual - Fantastic smoke, excellent flavors, smoothing out with age, box worth for sure. Tim's List My Father Le Bijou 1922 Connecticut Federal Cigar - I had reviewed the My Father le Bijou 1922 Federal 91st Cervantes back in February and I was blown away by how much the Ecuadorian CT Shade wrapper completely changed the cigar. So when I heard they were re-releasing this cigar as the house blend at Federal Cigar I ordered them immediately. In addition to the 44 x 6 1/2 Cervantes, there is also a Short Robusto and a Corona Gorda. I smoked both the new Corona Gorda and Cervantes this week. Both solid smokes but I thought the Corona had a bit more pepper and I enjoyed balance of the Cervantes more. Still "Box Worthy" La Aurora Escogidos Robusto - This was an enjoyable smooth stick. Mild/medium in body and a solid medium in strength. The cigar had a woody core with some of that sweetness and spice that a Cameroon wrapper brings to the table. I know Paul picked these up for around $3.00 a cigar. Certainly a "Fiver" or two or three. Viaje Late Harvest 550(2012) - The 550 is a 5 x 50 Robusto. Good construction and draw. There was a lot of wood and leather with some spice. To sum it up, I just didn't enjoy the flavor profile of this cigar. If you come across them grab one to try and decide for yourself. Tatuaje "The Face" - In preparation, of the Tatuaje Little Monsters being released this month, I reached for the Halloween 2010 release. This 6.5 x 56 sports a Mexican wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and fillers. These are still smoking well but I did think the flavors seemed more muted than the last time I burned one (about seven months ago). Still "Box Worthy". Arturo Fuente Anejo No. 77 "The Shark" - Not my favorite vitola in this line but you know when you reach for one, you are not going to be disappointed. This was a fantastic ending to my weekend. Still "Box Worthy" IMO. Emilio Grimalkin Toro - I like the flavor profile of this blend. It is a nice balance coffee, dark chocolate, and something akin to some floral notes. I cannot quite place it though. Construction has been a bit of a miss for me on these. The first time I smoked one it was completely plugged, this one was a little under filled but manageable. I am going to give it the benefit of the doubt and say "Fiver". Padilla Limitada 2006 - Sometimes too much of something can be a bad thing. There were a lot of rich, dark flavors I enjoy such as leather, espresso, and pepper. But it was just too much. There was absolutely no balance or smoothness to this cigar. I could blame the void on the second half for not finishing it, but honestly, I didn't want to finish it. "Lawn Mulch" Silverdale - To quote my wife on the aroma of this cigar; "I don't know what a flaming bag of poop smells like but I imagine that is what it would smell like". Unfortunately, the flavors were no better. "Lawn Mulch" Camacho Diploma Robusto - I have smoked these in the past but they had a second "Maduro" label on them. If my memory is correct, I thought Camacho made these in different wrappers at one time but their website currently only lists one. This (non-maduro) was very enjoyable but I recall liking the darker wrapper more. "The Fiver". Guillermo Leon Signature Corona Gordo - Well constructed with a perfect draw, this stick offered up a nice balance of pepper, wood, nut, and some sweetness. The pepper is strong on the first third but settles down as the burn line progresses. This is a complex smoke that changed several times which cause me to pay a bit more attention to it. I wouldn't mind smoking more "The Fiver" Ashton Heritage Puro Sol (2005) - I was stoked when Stogie Santa found more of these lying around. I have really enjoyed these in the past but this one seemed a bit "off". I will have to burn more as previous ones I have had have been smooth and enjoyable. Ashton VSG (2005) - I saved this one for Father's Day morning and enjoyed it with a cup of coffee. Gifted to me by Ben of Nice Tight Ash, the man knows a value of an aged VSG. "Box Worthy" Tatuaje Noella 2009 Reserva - I ended Father's day with my last Tatuaje Noella 2009 Reserva. Wow! These are still smoking great. Lots of rich flavors, creaminess, and large clouds of smoke. These border on the Oasis for me. La Tradicion Cubana - This was the Torpedo. It wasn't bad. A solid mild/medium. Something I would smoke when I wanted something that didn't require a lot of attention. It did tend to burn a bit hot but once I backed off it cooled down. "The Angler" Video: Budget Friendly Everyday Smokes & Life Changing Cigars Segment: Budget Friendly Everyday Smokes The Email Listener Mark S. writes; One thing I was wondering - although you guys smoke and review an array of fantastic cigars every show, do you have a go-to smoke? Do you have a cigar, or a couple of (perhaps inexpensive) cigars, that you buy a box of every month, and smoke your way through? Can you tell us what they are, and what draws you to them as your regular, comfort smoke?" We have talked a lot about what we smoke at every price range but I thought it might be time to compile a short list of some regular rotation sticks that won't break the bank. The Criteria The price per cigar should be $6.00 or less. The cigar must be consistent and have good construction. Each cigar must be easy to find at local B&M or the internet. The cigar must be "Box Worthy" in my opinion. I choose one particular size, the Robusto, because I feel this size provides the most bang for the buck in terms of flavor and smoke time. Construction is everything with cigars regardless of price point. That said the $6.00 and less price point can be difficult in this regard compared to slightly more expensive sticks where you have a lot more options. The List Padron 2000 Maduro - You cannot beat a Padron in terms of performance and consistency. The Padron 2000 has a rich full flavor profile consisting of coffee, cocoa, and spice. These always pour smoke and draw perfectly. A very delicious and satisfying stick for after dinner and at less than $130 for a box of 26 you cannot go wrong! La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Robusto - Made by Ashton without the Ashton prices. This stick sports a Mexican Maduro wrapper. The cigar has delicious rich flavors but is incredibly smooth and balanced. A box of 25 can be picked up for about $150. K.A. Kendall's 7-20-4 Robusto - These Robusto's always perform well with a razor sharp burn and perfect draw. I love the Nicaraguan sweetness I get from this stick. It is enjoyable but does not require a lot of attention, so it is a great lunchtime smoke when hanging with co-workers. A Box of 20 will run you about $125. I am glad I am starting to see these at more local shops during the last year. Brickhouse Robusto - Probably one of the better known value smokes on the market. There are very few shops here in the states that don't have these on the shelf which makes them convenient. This medium bodied Nicaraguan puro has good construction, an easy going profile, and fair price. This 5 x 54 Robusto is about $110 for a box of 25. La Aroma de Cuba EE No 2 - This should be no surprise for those who listen to use regularly. I love the Ecuadorian wrapper on this cigar and it goes great with a cup of coffee after breakfast. Medium in body and strength. This stick is sweet and creamy. A steal at $140 for a box of 25. San Cristobal Elegancia Robusto - Another Ashton brand. This Connecticut Shade is mild but has a fantastic amount sweetness and flavors. It billows clouds of white smoke. A Box of 25 is only $150. Closing Thoughts On Budget Cigars There are less expensive sticks out there. In my experience, however, construction gets shady and you're going to be pissed when half the box is not smokable (not really a savings then). These cigars are affordable and you can clip a dollar or two off per cigar if you play the auctions right. Consequently, I recommend checking out Paul's previous segment on auctions here. Each of these cigars can be found for slightly less than I mentioned if you patient. Life Changing My Ass An online retailer, who will remain nameless, but who is pretty Famous, just sent me an email titled "6 Life Changing Cigars". Turns out I've recently smokes 5 out of the 6 cigars on the list: Alec Bradley Black Market - I smoked one of the pre-releases. The first two thirds were good, but it did not finish strong. This is also a good everyday cigar, but my life somehow remained the same. Aging Room Small Batch - This was good, had some unique flavors, but in the end I still had to go to work, shower, and put gas in my car. Illusion ~88~ Candela - I did the ~888~ Candela, and as far as green cigars go, this is my favorite. It was the closest thing for life-changing for me, because now I can say that I smoked a green cigar and really liked it. La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor - I've smoked a couple of these, and while I think its a good smoke, there are better sticks in this size/price range (like Tatuaje blends have more character and flavor). Change my life it did not. Liga Undercrown - I've smoked the robust and the corona, and while they are good, they did not "Wow" me. The flavors seemed muted, though they burned great. I still had to cut it and light it myself without the help of a scantily clad young lady with large breasts, so thumbs down on the life changing events. (NOT SMOKED) J. Fuego Origen Corona - Haven't smoked this one, but who knows, I may smoke it on my yacht, sipping Champagne while working on my tan. Damn, so now after being all cocky and arrogant, I guess I gotta come up with a list of truly life changing cigars: (In no particular order) Padron Millenium Opus X BBMF Maduro LFD Factory Press II Cohiba (toro-ish sized, ridivulously old) Davidoff Colorado Claro Special T Macanudo Portafino Tubo Unbandeds Reveal Unbanded 1: My Father Le Bijou Corona Gorda Special Edition Origin: Nicaraguan Wrapper: Nicaraguan Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan Strength: Medium Vitola: Corona Size: 5 5/8 x 42 Age: ?

Cedar, earth, very cuban like. Perfect draw and great balance of flavors. They have mellowed a bit. "Box Worthy" Partagas Lucitania - Plugged. I finally gave up and smoked a PG Symphony 20. Jamie Garcia Limitada 2011 - Started slow, but once it got going it was great. Think these might need some more age. Great construction. "The Fiver" Illusione 888 Candela - Enjoyable! Has some kick with those subtle herbal flavors. Medium/Full bodied. One of the best balanced Candela's I have had. "The Fiver". Quesada Espania Corona - Plugged. Disappointing. Will definetly be revisting. Bolivar Petit Corona - Awesome! Flavors very different. Had a bit more of punch for a Cuban. Earthy and definitely a "fiver" Bolivar Belicoso Finos - Didnt like the first stick I smoked. Second rocked my world. Draw was awesome. Versatile smoke for anytime of the day. Opus X Chili Pepper - Unqiue format (It is shaped like a chilli pepper). Started off with blast of pepper and strength. Good but extremely strong. Cusano Lancero - Gifted by stogie santa as an unbanded. Pig Tailed cap lancero , it unravled so couldnt make it all the way through it. Need to revisit. Davidoff Aniversario No. 1 - Hint of grass, very smooth, well aged. Fantastic "The Fiver" Very different flavor profile. Arturo Fuente Untold Story - Underwelmed. I remember these being better. Four Kicks Robusto - Solid medium bodies, caramel sweetness. Good summer time smoke. A definite "fiver". Good grilling smoke, strong enough but not too strong. Litto Gomez Small Batch #4 - Good but needs some age. Tim's List Rocky Patel Decade Lonsdale (2008) - This Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapped beauty offered up some rich flavors including cherry, leather, and some pepper. Construction was perfect but I found the flavor profile a bit boring. Or maybe it was just the drunk homeless man that kept insisting Al looked like Whitey Bulger (he doesn't really). In the end, this stick was good but didn't change up much. "The Angler" Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Machito (2004) - I wanted to pair something with a glass of Benjamin Prichard's Rye Whiskey I had just poured. That meant something that was a quick smoke but with a full flavor profile. I grabbed an original release of the Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Machito that Stogie Santa had gifted me. This Petit Corona was probably the best smoke I had all weekend. Wow! I forgot how good the Antano is and the age only added to the experience. In conclusion, it paired perfectly with the Whiskey. "Box Worthy" El Triunfador Lancero Limited - Big Al had gifted me this beautiful 7 1/2 x 38 lancero. This Nicaraguan puro sports a triple cap with pig tail and unlike the regular line of El Triunfador, a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. This stick started medium in strength and body and went great with my AM coffee. Flavors were rich and included espresso, cedar, and some spice. The strength and body picked up a bit as it progressed. Construction, burn, and draw were perfect in every sense. A definite "Fiver"! LFD El Jocko No. 1 Maduro - Available in either an Ecuadorian Connecticut or Mexican Maduro wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and Dominican Piloto Cubano filler, this blend has been around for more than a decade. With it's LFD sweetness (Ligero maybe?) and A+ construction, I enjoyed it a great deal after a good meal. A definite "Fiver". La Aroma de Cuba EE No. 2 - The a Aroma de Cuba EE No. 2 is a 5 x 50 Robusto that sports a Ecuadorian wrapper and pairs perfectly with a morning cup of coffee. It is also versatile and flavorful enough to smoke anytime of the day. Made by Ashton, these always burn and draw perfectly. The only negative thing about smoking this cigar is it was my last one. I will need to pick up some more of these ASAP. "Box Worthy" My Father Le Bijou 1922 Federal Cigar 91st Cervantes Connecticut - The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Cervantes is an exclusive release for Federal Cigars in New Hampshire which is celebrating their 91st Anniversary this year. This 6.5 x 42 Lonsdale is available in either a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro and a Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper. In this case, I smoked the CT in which only 50 boxes of 23 cigars were made and available for in store purchase only. Wow! Began with a blast of intense pepper and then quickly transitioned into a nice balance of roasted nuts and butterscotch with a nice buttery finish. The second third became more toasty with cedar and some spice and the last third amped up in body with the pepper returning. Hands down the best smoke I had all week. "Box Worthy" assuming they have any left. La Aroma de Cuba Robusto - Good smoke but I am more partial to the EE and Mi Amore. I have had this blend in the lancero however which really shines.
And now, from studio B in Rhode Island comes Stogie Geeks! Stogie of the Week Trading un-banded smokes. This should be interesting…Spoiler Alert: The reveal is at the end of these show notes! Download Episode 3 Here Audio Feeds: Paul's This Week In Smoke Tatuaje Old Man and the C - Interesting spice, very different and a neat smoke! Couldn't believe it was actually smokable! Quesada Oktoberfest - Maybe its the power of suggestion, but if I had to imagine what it would be like to smoke a beer, this would be it. I can't wait to smoke this one with a nice German Doppelbock or a Belgian Ale. CAO Sopranos Tony Soprano Signature Montecristo Edmundo - What a classic Cuban cigar! Draw was a little snug, but the flavors are just so wonderful I can get enough of this stick. Fat for a Cuban, 52 ring and I think 5.2 on the length. Padron Family Reserve No. 44 Maduro - What a wonderful smoke! Toasty, toasty flavors, nice rich flavor profile. Changes up just a little, more powerful at the end. Would I pay $30 again for this stick? Maybe buy one or two, but not worth the $30 price tag. Try one and treat yourself. Davidoff Aniversario #2 - Oh wow, at least 4 years of age on this cigar (because size was not on the band, which is a little trick to Davidoff). Smooth flavors, very balanced, kind of a straw and hay flavor, but in a good way. Connecticut broadleaf wrapper pours flavor and smokes awesome in this lancer type size (7x48 which I think is an "Especial"). As a side note, I got a new Avallo Humidor - It's an absolutely gorgeous humidor. I will preface this with it is by no means cheap. However, its pure quality. This model, the 2000, does both temperature and humidity and holds approximately 1200 cigars. It stands 4 feet tall and is nice enough that my wife let me put it in the living room. It really does look like a piece of furniture. The controls are easy to use and setup, basically you get buttons to control the the temp and humidity. It requires 2 plugs for power, one for the refrigeration and one for humidity. You fill the reservoirs with distilled water and it will take 48 hours to fully adjust before you can put cigars in it. I would call this the Cadillac of all humidors. It is very well constructed and has a lock. The only thing I don't like is the "wick". In each canister there is a foam like substance to emit humidity. I can see this collecting mold, one of my fears! There are tons of fans, 3 pull out shelves and one drawer with 10 dividers. The door makes a very tight seal. One other downside is that its sort of on the loud side when the unit kicks on. I have to say, I'm in love. If you are serious about cigar storage and have LOTS of cigars to age, this is the way to go. Thanks to @beaker for the recommendation and Mr. J's Havana Smoke Shop (aka Joyal's) in RI for doing the transaction and getting it delivered to me. Tim's This Week In Smoke Tatuaje Seleccion de Cazador (aka Brown Label) Noellas – Thank You Paul! These traditional sized petit corona's are packed with flavor! They have aged well. Check out the review! Liga Privada T52 Flying Pig by Drew Estate – A favorite of mine. I pull these out for special occasions or for a Friday night after a rough week. This 4 x 60 sausage shaped stick is packed with flavor. The big brother of this the stick, the Liga Privada T52 Ferel Pig, drops later this month. So keep an eye out as these will go fast. Illusione Epernay – Very Creamy. Flavors include coffee, cinnamon, and a subtle sweetness. Incredible smoke for the money. Perfect draw and burn with large clouds of smoke. Padron Delicias Maduro – Name says it all. If you like rich chocolate and coffee flavors at reasonable price (about $4.00) then this should be a go to. In my humble opinion, Padron makes one of the most consistent cigars in terms of flavor and construction. The Stogie Geek Rating System: How do we rate cigars? 0 “Lawn Mulch” - Throw it in front of the lawn mower while mowing. 1 "The Faux Cuban" - Give it to your "friends" and tell them it's "a Cuban". 2 “The Angler” - Not bad, smoke on golf course, fishing, grilling, or some other activity. 3 "The Fiver" - Not quite good enough to drop money on a box but you will want some in you humidor. Here is a situation where the five pack is your friend. 4 "Box-Worthy" - Buy it, try it, smoke it, and enjoy it. Pick up a box if you can. 5 “The Oasis” - Pursue relentlessly. Crawl Across a desert of broken glass to find and build a new humidor to store all the boxes. Breakfast Smokes: What and why? There's nothing like enjoying a cigar with a hot cup of coffee on your back deck on a Sunday morning. The wife and kids are sleeping in and you decide to take advantage of the elusive silence. So pull a lounge chair, grab a cup of your favorite fresh ground coffee, and don't to forget to let the dog out. Camacho Connecticut 11/18 – A great example of a shade grown Connecticut. Light but flavorful. A favorite Sunday AM smoke with coffee. I have smoked boxes of these over the years. La Aroma de Cuba EE No. 2 – I love these. More medium bodied than mild but not over the top. A very versatile smoke. One of Ashton's lesser known brands. Great construction and flavor at a reasonable price. I prefer the No. 2 (Robusto). E.P. Carillo New Wave Connecticut Stellas – Just released this year. One of the most flavorful sticks with a shade grown wrapper I have ever had. There is a nice sweetness to it but a word of caution, even though the flavors are mild, the strength can creep up on you. Recommend the corona for those AM smoking times.

Cigar of the Week - Ashton's La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amore Robusto Manufactured and blended by Don Pepin Garcia in Nicaragua, La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amore is an example of the new style La Aroma de Cuba cigars from Ashton. The blend brings a full-flavored but medium-bodied maduro to the mix and creates a hearty finish. Outside, you'll find a dark Cuban-seed Mexican maduro wrapper that conceals a flavorful concoction of Nicaraguan long leaves from Nicaragua's top growing regions Available in 5 sizes: Belicoso 5.5x54; Churchill 7x50; Magnificao 6x52; Robusto 5x50 and the Valentino 5.7x58. What else have you been smokin' Dale? Ashton VSG Eclipse 6” x 52 in a black aluminum tube - 4-5 year old aged Dominican tobaccos and Ecuadorian grown wrapper are skillfully blended by Carlito Fuente to make the VSG series of Ashton cigars. The entire lineup is magnificent, and with the recent addition of the Eclipse Tubo, there is now a size and style of VSG for everyone (11 sizes in total). A very deep, rich and intoxicating journey into well aged, well fermented and perfectly balanced tobaccos. Smooth and creamy in character, earthiness, dark fruit and spices all peg the flavor dial. J. Fuego Origens Originals - 5” x 44 and ruggedly beautiful, this cigar is the perfect every-day smoke for those who like bold flavors, a bit of strength and don’t need a fancy band or a high price tag to make you like yourself. Very full bodied cigar blended by Jesus Fuego from Honduran/Nicaraguan fillers, Costa Rican binder and a dark maduro Brazilian wrapper; and rolled in the old school Cuban farm perfecto style. Packaging is in paper wrapped 5 packs, the cigars are open at both ends. Depending on your local confiscatory tax situation, you can find these for $13-15 per 5 pack! DPG Blue Label Lancero - Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo tobaccos blended by DPG into one of my favorite lancero cigars. Bold, spicy & balanced, yet not overpowering. Mi Tierra Habano 1959 Robusto 5” x 54 - A great cigar from Michael Munoz, the Mi Tierra is a Dominican puro (all tobacco grown on one farm) that has a similar bold & sophisticated flavor profile that could easily be compared with the most famous Nicaraguan or Dominican cigars. Dusty cocoa, coffee, hickory smoke, spice and a caramel sweetness all rolled up in a superbly constructed cigar. Also currently available in 4.5” x 60 and 6” x 60 sizes. Mi Tierra has been out about 2 years, with sales starting in Miami and now spreading across the country. Michael’s a roller, his father & grandfather were rollers, extending back into the RyJ factory in Cuba. What else have you been smokin' Bob? Angelenos Toro - (6 x 50, $9.95): The Toro tastes of gingerbread, and it is earthy with a nice leathery flavored base. The taste of pepper is in the background. Hey, Joe Montegna smokes these! This cigar is from Keith K. Park, the same man who created the elegant Prometheus line of cigar accessories and critically acclaimed God of Fire cigar. Made in the Dominican Republic by Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia, the Angelenos combines Dominican and Ecuadorian tobaccos into four sizes - Lonsdale, Toro, Gran Toro and Double Robusto. What's My Band? - this week's Unbanded Cigar is the 898 Collection. Bob: Loved the lightness and soft floral flavors of this delicate cigar. The wrapper is very light and delicate. I found this cigar to be joyful and light while taking my palate to a fantasy of flight soaring through the smoke and ash of this cigar.

Cigar of the Week - Padron 3000 Natural Robusto, Size: 52 x 5 1/2 Wrapper: Natural Package: 26 per box Also available in a box of four. Also comes in a maduro wrapper. Not much information given out about the blend as Padron is very secretive; however, the tobacco is reported to be all Nicaraguan. Padron began making cigars in Miami in 1964 but the family had produced cigars in Cuba since 1853. Padron was burned out of Nicaragua during the Sandinista wars of the 1990's and forced to move all operations to Honduras. In the 1980's Padron was boycotted by Cuban Americans and his Miami locations burned, bombed and defaced for a photo that showed him handing a cigar to Fidel Castro; Padron had travelled to Cuba to negotiate the release of hundreds of political prisoners. Castro asked for the cigar and Senior Padron gave it to him. Dark Side - Jose L.

Origin of the term HERF: From Cigar Craig, http://cigarcraig.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/the-origin-of-the-word-herf/ What else have you been smokin' Dale? Pepin Garcia JJ Esencia Robusto My Father La Reloba - Robusto 5x50 and Torpedo 6.25x52. New from the My Father factory in Esteli, this line is all Nica filler & binder with either a Habano or Sumatra wrapper. The two sizes I tried were in the Habano version. A wonderfully medium bodied smoke. Nice flavors of well aged tobaccos, good construction and a very enjoyable cigar. Priced right, in the $5-$7 range. Rocky Patel Old World Reserve Lancero - This one tasted the way the original release tasted, rich, sweet and wonderfully spicy! What else have you been smokin' Bob? Macanudo something or other. Well made, burned very well, and was a pleasant smoke. Zino Platinum Sceptor 2009 Master Edition Robusto - 5.25 x 50, tins of ten - $14.50 - Made in Santiago, Dominican. Filler is Dominican, Nicaraguan, Honduras and Peruvian. Binder is Dominican and the wrapper is Ecuador. Pre-light aroma was wonderful - barnyard components of straw, earthiness and yes a little manure. An excellent start for the day as this was my first cigar with my first cup of coffee. The wrapper is a dark Ecuadorian wrapper that almost looks maduro. This cigar really lit up my morning and I have to admit that although it is a little expensive, it is a fantastic cigar. Full flavored with a deep roasted savoriness that blends well with a hint of spice and sweetness. With coffee, without coffee its one heck of a smoke.

After Dale's comments last week concerning this cigar, I had to try a couple to see if I agreed. Well, I don't see the same excitement in the cigar that he did. I still found it to be boring and easy to put down. Not that it had any disagreeable characterstics just that it had no character. Jaime Garcia JG Reserva Especial Robusto - All character, all the time.

Dodgeball Baggage - The Jury is out The Cigar of the Week is the Cruzado Domenicos. From the mind of Dion Giolito, creater of Illusione Cigars, we get to sample his Cruzado line. The Domenicos is a 5 5/8” by 46 ring gauge Corona Gorda (Dion lists it as a Grand Corona in Perlmans) format. You’ll find Cruzado to be a tad lighter in body & flavor than Illusione. The filler is a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan Criollo and Corojo tobaccos. The binder is Nicaraguan and the wrapper is Nicaraguan Criollo (Perlman lists it as a Colorado Maduro). The wrapper shades will run from Cafe Claro to Cafe Rosado. Cruzado cigars are manufactured in the Raices Cubanas factory in Honduras and come packaged in wooden boxes with “partial dress” edge wrapping at 20 cigars to the box. This show is dedicated to those who lost their lives 8 years ago in the 9/11 attacks. Never forget! We announce the Expedition: Esteli 2010 trip to Nicaragua!

Cigar of the Week - NUB 460 Maduro – Seems only proper to start September featuring the new cigar from NUB seeing as how Sam Leccia was one of the early supporters of the DogWatch Cigar Club after IPCPR last year. This year, Sam adds a Maduro wrapper to the NUB, and we’re tasting it in the 460 size – 4” x 60 ring gauge. Manufactured by Oliva Cigars, everyone by now knows all about NUB cigar. Sam has extended the line with this fine Brazilian Maduro wrapper – look for naturally sweet and deep flavors of chocolate, spice and nuts in a full flavored cigar that lasts surprisingly long & burns cool. But is the 60 ring guage format in a short cigar really worth the effort? Find out by listening to the show! The Producer's Pick cigar in the September DogWatch Cigar Club selections is the El Primer Mundo. Sean Williams stops in to talk a bit about his new line of cigars.
