Yesterday we reviewed one of two new cigars that were introduced by C.L.E. at the 2016 TAA. Those cigars were Chele, which is slang for light-skinned and Prieto, which is Spanish slang for dark-skinned. The names provide an interesting take when applied to cigars with light and dark wrappers. Both cigars are made in Nicaragua which is a departure for Christian Eiroa who normally works his magic in Honduras. Cigar Review: C.L.E. Prieto Country of Origin: Nicaragua […]

The cigars also mark a change for Christian Eiroa who normally makes his cigars in Honduras, as he turned to Nicaragua and a un-disclosed factory […]

So while Barry originally worked with La Aurora on the blend he turned to Noel Rojas to complete the project, which was ultimately rolled at the Aromas de Jalapa factory in Esteli, Nicaragua and distributed by United Cigar. And […]
This morning at work we were discussing some potential conspiracy theories regarding the FDA Regulations, and discussing if big tobacco was behind them to push the little guy out. If you listen to the show, you know my opinions on that; but the conversation made me think of Dion Giolito. Wether it be true or not, I always looked at him as someone into conspiracy and that led me to wanting today’s cigar. According to […]
