Illusione Singulare Cigar & More

Saludos,

Greetings, conspiracy theorists & Illusione informed. We received a shipment of backordered Illusione cigars that are always in high demand. In addition to the once-a-year offering known as the Illusione Singulare (2011~2012) cigars, we also received the hl Candela, hl Maduro & mj12 Maduro.

While at this past summer's cigar trade show & convention in Orlando, we at Habana Port had a chance to speak with brand owner, Dion Giolito. He is certainly one of the cool cats in the cigar industry right now and an avid cigar nerd. So the major question we had for him was, "Why the constant backorders with hl Maduro?" (This is his most popular facing in our shop.) His immediate reaction certainly revealed that this was a sensitive issue. He stated that essentially the factory that produces Illusione (Raices Cubanas) is always in high demand, therefore his production is not as consistent as he would like it.

Fortunately, our customers at Habana Port are patient with us and have managed to adapt to this dynamic. This is why we always advise our customers to stock up on these cigars when they come in. Now they are available, guys, so come on in today.

In the $6 range, this cigar should be a hit among large ring gauge fans and Maduro lovers alike. The flavor profile includes a dark, sweet, molasses-like spectrum.

Pipe Kit - A Complete Pipe Set & Guide

Saludos,

Greetings, pipe people. We would like to introduce to you our Pipe Kit - a complete pipe set & guide. Just in time for the holiday season, this comprehensive fine pipe set is the perfect gift for those who are interested in delving into the world of pipe tobacco.

Starting at $49.95, this set includes an Italian-made Lorenzo briar pipe, a pipe tool (tamper and scoop), a set of pipe cleaners, matches and a sampler of four different one-ounce pipe tobacco bags. As far as the pipe, we have dozens of different models from which to choose. Whether you want a straight-stem or a bent-stem, a walnut color or cherry color, a matte finish or glossy finish, the choice is yours.

We also offer a pipe set for those that want a filter system. Starting at $74.95, this set includes the same offerings as above with the difference of a Lorenzo Filtro pipe and the addition of a ten-count set of charcoal filters which are effective at providing a cooler, cleaner and drier experience.

What is also attractive about this pipe set is that it includes a primer of how to prepare and smoke a bowl of fine pipe tobacco. This simple set of instructions clearly teaches the user how to enjoy a bowl of pipe tobacco, how to maintain and clean the briar pipe, and how to store pipe tobacco. The inside of the box also has a great illustration of the anatomy of a briar pipe. There is also a glossary of different pipe tobacco varieties thus introducing the beginner to the different names of tobacco leaves. The set comes beautifully packaged in a kraft box so it is easy for you to get that last minute gift to leave under the Christmas tree.

If you cannot make it to our shop to pick up your set, for an extra $5.95, we can ship this gift to the person and address of your choice. Call us at 985-809-1818 or email us at info@habanaport.com to order today.

Butz-Choquin (BC) Churchwarden Briar Pipes

Saludos,

Greetings, gangsters of Gandalf. Today we are featuring a few new pipe arrivals. In the spirit of the upcoming Hobbit feature film, we at Habana Port have stocked a few Churchwarden briar pipes from Butz-Choquin (BC), the famous French pipemaker. Churchwarden pipes are defined as those having a long stem. Many pipe enthusiasts feel that a Churchwarden provides a cooler, dryer smoke since it takes a while longer for the smoke to hit your tongue. Also known as the armchair pipe, it is loved by those who want to extend their arm and smoke at the same time. It is certainly a lazy man's model but we like to think of the CW as a true philosopher's pipe.

We have 2 BC Churchwarden pipe models now. The top one is the Calabash Jr. and the pipe below it is the Balzac. Very unique yet masterfully crafted pieces these Churchwardens from BC will treat you right. So come in today and check out these wizard-friendly styles.

Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial 2012 Cigar

Saludos,

Greetings, orators of Oliva. The Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial cigar made its annual appearance today. This is the famous Serie V blend from the Nicaraguan-based cigar manufacturer whose only difference is a Maduro wrapper. This cigar usually arrives in cigar shops around the beginning of December just in time for the holiday season. This year the Serie V Maduro cigar measures 6 inches by a 50 rg making this a typical Toro format. There was a 5,000 unit total production for this line so keep in mind that this is a limited-run cigar. We have not smoked this year's V Maddy yet but judging by previous years' blends the cigar should have a sweet and toasty note. We will let you know how it smokes in a future post.
