It’s that time of year where nothing new is coming out so having worked in the cigar industry at a manufacturer level the last few years I missed the boat on certain cigars. One of them being L’atelier.

The wrapper of today’s cigar is […]
There have been quite a few limited edition cigars from Crowned Heads this year which started with the Las Calaveras and concluded with Mason Dixon.

Thankfully, I ran into our local rep Jeremy Soares on Tuesday night after pre-recording our episode this week and he gifted me one knowing I would not be attending the trade show this year.

As featured on The Cigar Authority Radio Show…. Limited Edition cigars. Do you love them or hate them let us know in the comments. For me it is love/hate. If the cigar is something I am crazy about, then I hate the fact that I can’t get them any more. Las Calaveras from Crowned Heads comes out of the My Father factory in Esteli, Nicaragua and is limited to 1,000 boxes per size of which there […]
