Earlier this year the first news came out that My Father Cigars had planned to release the Flor de las Antillas in a Tubo. The cigar which measures 6 x 50 is round instead of the familiar box-pressed version that the line normally comes in. The cigar carries the vitola name of Petaca, which is the spanish name for a case used to hold tobacco much like a cigarette case. The name ties into the […]
The Avion which started out as a limited production extension of the Fausto line is limited to a perfecto shape would eventually transition to a regular release that is still available in 2016. The cigar can be traced back to the T110 which was made exclusively for R. Field Wine Co. in Hawaii and serves as the blueprint for this release. Avion ’11 – 6.75 x 48/52 (Perfecto Grande/Habano Wrapper) Avion ’12 – 5 5/8 x […]
Christian Eiroa is a name I’m sure some of you have heard of before. He has been in the cigar business since June of 1995 where he began working for his father. It was also the same year his family gained ownership of the Camacho brand and later sold it to Davidoff in 2008. Over the last twenty years, Christian Eiroa has worked in the industry non-stop and created many well-known cigars. His most recent […]
Fleur de la Reine is a brand I’m very familiar with, in particular, the Fleur de la Reine Quatre Maduro. It is a cigar that I keep in rotation with my other go-to’s. One of the main reasons I enjoy them is for the use of Connecticut Broadleaf, which is one of my favorite wrappers on a premium cigar. Not only that, but this hand-made has fillers and binders from three different countries that are […]
The Davidoff acquisition machine goes back, way back. One of their earliest acquisitions was in 2004 when they bought Griffin’s Cigars. The brand was founded in 1984 by Bernard H. Grobert who named the cigars after his night club in Switzerland. Prior to Davidoff purchasing the brand, they distributed the cigars which was exported for sale into the United States in 1989. Today we look at the Griffin’s Special Edition 2013 which came packaged in a box that […]
Last year it felt like MBombay was advertising in the cigar world on nearly every form of digital media. Other then the fact that these cigars are made in Costa Rica I knew little about these smokes. Our friend Nelson Alfonso makes some of the best cigars in the world in the country so obviously I was curious to see how they compared. Luckily, one of the owners of the company reached out with some […]
Today, I’ll be diving into the Davidoff Nicaragua Robusto Tubo. If there is one brand that is known for making some of the highest quality cigars on the market, its Davidoff. Previously, Davidoff made their cigars using nothing but Dominican tobaccos. But a few years ago, back in 2013, the company announced it would make a brand new line featuring all Nicaraguan tobacco. In anticipation of the new Davidoff Nicaragua Box Press, I wanted to […]
Originally released in 2015; The Perdomo Special Craft Series is a series of cigars that was blended to pair specifically with beer. Following the business model of Perdomo, the cigar was released in three wrappers Connecticut (Pilsner), Maduro (Stout) and today’s review Amber (Sungrown). The cigar which we review today is part of the Sponsor’s Deal on The Cigar Authority where each week we will offer a special sampler of cigars that are advertisers on […]
The Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan has been a yearly limited edition since 2013 when it was released for the first time. The yearly release which comes out in time for St. Patrick’s Day has undergone a change this year, instituting a barber pole for the first time. With Candela wrappers being such a hit or miss, I decided to crack open a box and review the 2016 edition, which is limited to 2,000 boxes of […]
The La Flor Dominicana La Nox is the newest release from the company blended by Tony Gomez, son of the famed Litto Gomez. LFD is now in its 20th year of business, and business is a boomin’. Just in the last year alone LFD has put out multiple new blends, including the LFD 1994, a special limited edition for the Tobacconist Association of America (TAA) and now a cigar that is taking the market by […]
