Factory Throwouts Cigars Now Banded

Saludos,

Greetings, thrifters and Throwouts. We wanted to give our kudos to J.C. Newman who is now banding and barcoding their $1 range Factory Throwouts cigar line. As a retailer it makes it easier for us to scan the cigars as we check you out. This was not an issue with their claro (green cigar line) but it was when trying to sort between the Sweets and Natural versions which are virtually indistinguishable until you light one up. So when you bring your Factory Throwouts to the counter, don't worry. We will now be able to tell them apart.

Ortega Serie D No. 9 Cigar

Saludos,

Greetings, oracles of Ortega. The new Ortega Serie D No. 9 cigar (6.5x38) is available at both locations now. This format is essentially a petite lancero format. We have been waiting for this size ever since we first heard about its development. We already smoked it and it is a classic Serie D Maduro blend with smooth yet rich espresso notes but it seems to be a bit more flavorful because of the higher wrapper-to-filler ratio.

Dandy McCoy Wild Bunch Cigar

Saludos,

Greetings, Wild Bunch. Chill with Dandy McCoy, the 5th Wild Bunch cigar from Ortega Cigar Co. This is the first box-pressed WB cigar and the wrapper is a very dark Connecticut Broadleaf. Dandy measures 6 inches by a 54 ring gauge and the flavor profile is reminiscent of the Jaime Garcia cigar. We only received 3 20-count boxes in this installment so hurry in to get yours before this great blend runs out.

E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2013 Cigar

Saludos,

Greetings, sojourners of Short Runs. The limited E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2013 cigar line is available at both Habana Port locations. The cigar has an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Dominican Piloto Cubano binder and Nicaraguan and Ecuadorian filler and is based loosely on its regular production Core Line. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo III says that this year’s edition will be “the fullest of the four Short Runs we have done to date, but it’s creamy and spicy.”

The E.P. Carrillo Short Run is offered  in Robusto (4 7/8 x 50), Corona Gorda (5 7/8 x 52) and Double Robusto (6 1/4 x 60) vitolas with 1,500 boxes of 24 cigars produced for each size. Prices range from $7 to $10 per cigar.

Cigar Smoker Mural

Saludos,

We wanted to share with you today a picture that we took a few years ago. It is a mural that is located in the back bar of Molly's which is located in the French Quarter. We always wondered what the story was behind this man but regardless we could tell he is of good philosophy as he is obviously in good spirits while enjoying a fine cigar.

La Flor Dominicana Unreleased Cigar

Saludos,

Greetings, dons of Diggers and Double Ligeros. The La Flor Domincana Unreleased cigar pictured below is a rare species. It exhibits dark, spicy notes but it is very smooth. It is semi-pressed. All we know about this special cigar is that the tobacco is aged for quite a few years. It is only available during LFD events. We may have to arrange an event with this company so our fans have a chance to try it.
