Using a carefully selected blend of tobaccos, Rogue is a bold, box-pressed cigar with crafted unfinished foot. The blend features a Ecuadorian, Habano wrapper, combining a rare Ecuadorian binder with a specially chosen blend of 3-year aged Ligero’s from Nicaragua, Honduras and Dominican Republic. This full-flavored cigar has complex tasting notes of spice, rich tobacco and roasted chestnuts.
100% Nicaraguan Puro utilizing a variety of Authentic Cuban seeds and ‘AA’ Tobacco leaf from Aganorsa. The cigar’s blend is comprised of Medio Tiempo Maduro, Ligero, and Viso from specific Aganorsa Tobacco farms in Jalapa Valley, Condega Valley and Estelí in Nicaragua
Is this the best-looking band to ever adorn a Tatuaje? Yes, I think so.
Kentucky Fire Cured tobaccos are nothing new, although they have never been used in premium cigars in such a way that was started in 2013. Besides Drew Estate, 2 other companies opted to use this or similar fire-cured leaf in their blends, although I think Drew Estate did the most to promote the usage of it by using “Kentucky Fire Cured” as part of the brand name.
Jack Daniel’s Winter Jack is a seasonal blend of apple cider liqueur, Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey and holiday spices. It is based on an original family recipe from Jack’s home in Lynchburg, Tennessee. When it’s cold outside and snow is falling, our heartwarming Tennessee Cider should be enjoyed with friends and family.
Aging Room Cigars is one of those “enigma” companies in the cigar industry. You hear about them, you might see them in magazines, but finding a retailer who carries them can be a challenge. Certain bloggers rave about them, but when you check the stores they bought from, they are sold out. So they almost exist just on a sort of “underground word-of-mouth.”
Curivari, though, is a company that seems to relish its boutique status. You can hardly find them in any shop. When you do find a shop that carries them, it’s almost impossible to find the blend or the vitola you really want. Orders are filled when they are filled and batches are numbered in the 10s of thousands, not millions.
When the first vintage of this wine was made, our winemaker noticed subtle hints of “Cigar Box” on the nose…the name stuck! Sourced from a single vineyard, the grapes for this wine are bunch selected and hand harvested. This Malbec displays aromas of ripe plum and violets along with subtle hints of vanilla.
This is my third trip to the well for a review about the Smoking Jacket line of cigars. Three different sizes that I’ve picked out and three different blends.
Last month, I reviewed a new cigar called Smoking Jacket, made by the Kelner Boutique Factory and blended by Hendrick Kelner, Jr., son of the famed master blender for Davidoff. I discovered during the research phase of the cigar, that there were 4 different sizes of Smoking Jacket, each with its own specific blend.
