NEW RULES FOR THE PALIO CONTEST: Enter June's Palio contest to win a black Palio cutter by sending an email with a cigar fact or question to theshow@cigarmedia.tv. (Don't forget to include your mailing address and type "Palio" on the subject line.) All questions and facts will be discussed on the DogWatch show and one will be randomly selected as the winner. Remember you must re-enter each month to be eligible to win. May's contest winner of a black Palio cutter was Officer Paul. Cigar of the Week -Emilio AF-2 Robusto The AF2 blend, produced and blended by A.J. Fernandez is crafted from rich Nicaraguan fillers combined with the strength of Pennsylvania ligero and a beautiful Ecuadoran Habano Oscuro wrapper. These cigars are available in cabinet boxes of 20 in four sizes: Robusto, Toro, Torpedo, and BMF. What else have you been smokin' Dale? Rocky Patel Burn Special Reserve Robusto - 5” x 50 - First released in late Feb., the Burn by RP was developed for sale in all RP Lounges and is made at the Tobacalera Villa Cuba factory. Named for the Burn by Rocky Patel Lounges & dressed with two bands, the cigar is as attractive as it is delicious. A darkly fermented Ecuadorian grown Sumatra wrapper covers fillers & binder from Nicaragua. A rumor, as yet unconfirmed by this reporter yet from a good source, says that Dion Giolito helped with the blending of the cigar. It also comes in Toro (6” x 52) and a Titan (8.5” x 60) sizes. Lots of earthy, dark & rich flavors with more sweetness than one might expect. I found cocoa, cedar, molasses, stewed plums and nutmeg spice. Full bodied, full flavored and very well balanced. A luxurious cigar! Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 - What a disappointment after smoking the Burn a few days earlier! Not a bad cigar, but certainly not up to the high premium level of the Burn, in all categories. Construction was weak, as there was an underfilled portion about 2” in causing the cigar to tunnel. Flavors were OK, but not nearly as well balanced. The pepper was good, but far too strong over the core of leather, and masked most other minor flavors. The tobaccos didn’t seem nearly as well fermented. The cigar burned fast and tended to go out often. Macanudo Cru Royale Robusto - In our What Else segment last week, Jerry Cruz talked about how the new Partagas 1845 was a hit, where as the more recent Macanudo offerings didn’t hit the mark. I wanted to go back and compare, so I smoked the Cru Royale this week again after having not smoked it for several months. What else have you been smokin' Bob? Man O War Armada - $500 for a box of cigars, even a box of 32 cigars, is beyond most people's reach, including mine. Can a cigar really be worth $20? No, but the cigar and its accompanying box can be according to Man O’ War maker A.J. Fernandez and the pricing on the Armada. In the finest tradition of Gurhka, AJ has produced a cigar that, while providing artistic packaging and exceptional flavors, is just not practical for most cigar smokers. This cigar is a tasty elixir draped in a dark, toothy, Ecuador-Sumatra wrapper leaf that brings a full-frontal assault of flavor. Would I recommend them? - Yes. Would I buy them? - No. Emilio Cigars Grimalkin - Grimalkin is a unique blend, produced in Esteli, Nicaragua from carefully selected tobaccos. This cigar will be limited in quantity based on harvest conditions. Grimalkin cigars are available in 3 sizes: Robusto, Toro, and Torpedo, and come in cabinet style boxes of 25. Medium bodied and complex, Grimalkin is a complex cigar with several nuance flavors. It took me smoking a couple of them to really get the point but once I did I fell in love with them. Notes of pepper, raisins and a citrus sweetness combined with the texture of the smoke (not chewy but textured like work leather) make this an outstanding cigar in the true tradition of boutique cigars. What's my band? Thank you to Dan Crouch for providing this week's unbanded cigar, the Gran Habano Blue Label. Do you have a suggestion for the unbanded cigar of the week? Every week Bob and Dale include an “unbanded cigar” segment in their show in which they smoke a cigar without any markings and give their honest opinions.

May's contest winner of a black Palio cutter is Officer Paul.Cigar of the Week -Pinar Del Rio Toro Capa MaduraThe medium-bodied Pinar Del Rio (PDR) 1878 Cubano Especial Capa Madura cigar was created by Abraham Flores using a dark, triple-fermented Arapiraca Maduro wrapper from Brazil, Criollo 98 binder from the Dominican Republic, and a blended filler of Nicaraguan and Dominican Republic origin - all grown from Cuban seed. The very reasonably priced PDR 1878 Cubano Especial Capa Madura is well constructed and finished with a beautiful pigtail cap. The cigar's flavors are subtle with notes of sweetness, earthiness, and spice, and the smoke it produces at rest and in play is voluminous.What else have you been smokin' Dale?Padron Serie 1926 80th Perfecto Maduro - 6.75” x 54 - Released to celebrate the 80th birthday of Jose Orlando Padron, these perfect perfectos (the first production cigar of this shape for Padron) are the ultimate in Padron goodness! At about $30 per stick ($240 in boxes of 8 cigars) these would be a celebratory cigar for me, and I smoked this one (which was gifted from Mark Neff) on Memorial day in tribute to those who have fallen to allow me the freedom to smoke fine cigars. A full bodied cigar, the smoke is dense and chewy. Flavors are typical of the 1926 Serie - Cocoa, cream, coffee, and muted exotic spices (nutmeg, cinnamon) over an earthy, leather core- but even richer. Perfect construction, perfect draw and tons of smoke with a heady room aroma. The finish lingers and points out the extremely well aged tobaccos. In the last 3rd, the flavors all become enhanced leading to a full-on happy dance of the palate. I never thought I’d find a cigar I like better then the Padron Serie 1926 #9 Maduro, but this is all that and more!Partagas 1845 - The newest release from General Cigar, Partagas 1845 is a line extension with an old heritage and a new blend. They describe it as full flavored & medium bodied with hints of cocoa and coffee. The blend is Dominican Piloto Cubano and Nicaraguan tobaccos from 3 different regions. Some of the filler is aged in Dominican Rum barrels. The binder is Connecticut grown Habano and the wrapper is Ecuadorian grown Habano from the Viso priming. I tried 3 different sizes this week - Corona Extra (4.5 x 46), Robusto (5.5 x 49) & Gigante (6.0 x 60). It also is available in a Double Corona (7.25 x 54). I really like this blend, and prefer it far above the original Partagas blend with the Cameroon wrapper. Much richer with some nice sweetness. I did find some coffee & cocoa flavors, along with toasted nuts. A touch of mineral and citrus came and went every now & then. I did find it to be medium bodied and enjoyed all 3 sizes, with the Corona Extra hitting my palate the best. It had a touch more savoriness. Now if they would just put it out in a Corona Gorda size......What else have you been smokin' Bob?Pinar del Rio PDR 1878 Reserva Dominicana - Like rafting down a river of Nestle's chocolate with its lightness and slight sweetness that really brings out the best of the blend.Pinar del Rio Small Batch Reserve Cubra Habano - Abe Flores is a quiet man with an infectious laugh. His quiet ways may hide his expertise in blending fine cigars but when he puts out product like this, the world will soon shout his name. The best PDR to date, complex flavors of leather, salt, sweetness and a fine nuttiness to balance the acidity. One incredible cigar.Torano 1959 Exodus - Torano is still making top notch cigars in its quiet way. Not flashy but a really smooth cigar with lots of leather and some hints of nuttiness and slight acidity.What's my band?Thank you to Scott Rohrer for providing this week's unbanded cigar, the J.

Cigar of the Week - Declaration by Brad Mayo at Jameson Cigars A showcase of Dominican tobaccos, Declaration features an aged Habano ’98 wrapper paired with a Criollo ’98 binder and select filler tobaccos from the prime growing regions of the Dominican Republic. The unabashed enthusiast can expect deep, bold flavors and a memorable, medium-full bodied smoking experience. Suggested Retail Range – $6.95-$8.65 per cigar Manufactured at Tabacalera LaAlianza S.A., Santiago, Dominican Republic What else have you been smokin' Dale? Trinidad Coloniales - 130 mm (5.12”) x 44 - For my money, one of the most refined and well balanced Habanos in a small format. Creamy coffee, light chocolate, sandelwood and mild exotic spices notes. Medium bodied smoke with a long finish. Be sure to sip on these to keep them cool and be able to notice all the complexity. Some of the fainter flavors you may pick up are lemon citrus, hazelnuts, yeast, …..... Oliva Serie V Lancero - 7” x 38 - Nicaraguan puro with a Habano Sungrown wrapper that is oily exquisite! Coffee, spice, cocoa and roasted grain flavors in a bold & smooth smoke. Full bodied, full flavored and one of the more affordable priced Serie V sizes. Alec Bradley Prensado Corona Gorda - 5.6” x 46 - Nicaragua & Honduran tobaccos done right! Talked about these in other sizes recently, so I wanted to smoke the Corona Gorda next. This had the same smoothness, red pepper spice and core leather & coffee notes, but the spice was more prominent and there was a touch more richness then the Churchill or Gran Toro sizes. Pinar del Rio Robusto - 5” x 50 - Domincan & Nicaraguan tobaccos in a reddish Habano Sungrown wrapper. Very earthy with a notable well fermented tobacco aroma. Cedar, spice and everything nice! What else have you been smokin' Bob? SouthBound Series Latitude by Jameson Cigars: Latitude is the first release in the bundled SouthBound Series. A medium-bodied value smoke meant to be enjoyed every day. Latitude features Dominican fillers bound with a Criollo 98 leaf from the Dominican Republic and finished off with a broadleaf wrapper from Pennsylvania. Punch After Dinner Maduro: If you want an 'authentic' full-bodied Honduran blend you can't miss with this cigar. Blended with Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos wrapped in oily Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra wrappers, it is rich in flavor, high in quality and affordable.
