Saludos,

Greetings, nerds of Nica. Try Asylum Cigars today. This is an affordable Nicaraguan cigar distributed by Tabacaleras Unidas (Christian Eiroa). We are currently offering the Asylum and the Asylum 13. Both are Nicaraguan puros in the medium to medium-strong range. They retail in the $5 to $7 range. The profile can be described as complex with notes like earth, wood and nuts coating the palate.

Pre-release Sample of El Centurion Cigar

Saludos,

Greetings, sentries of cigars and centurions. My Father Cigar's El Centurion cigar. This is a blend that was one of Pepin Garcia's early offerings. In honor of their 10th anniversary, the company is going to re-release it in May. We had a chance to sample one thanks to shop friend, Josh P. It had a nice balance of earth, wood, and coffee. We will update you when we receive the limited allocation.

El Rey Del Mundo Cigars

Saludos,

Greetings, revelers of robustos and reys. Pay homage today to the king of the world: El Rey del Mundo cigars. An old Cuban brand, the ERdMs that we offer are from Honduras and are still considered a classic. We offer the Oscuro wrappers which are oily, dark lovelies adorned in tissue paper. Mild-medium in strength, the cigar evokes notes of wood and cocoa.

Supposedly there are cigars that are currently made in the marketplace that have drawn inspiration from this classic cigar. Available in Covington & Baton Rouge, the ERdMs will please your palate and wallet.

Alec Bradley Easy 5 Cigar Sampler

Saludos,

Greetings, celebrators of seconds. We at Habana Port have received a huge shipment of Alec Bradley Seconds. Dubbed the Easy Five, these cigars are bundled in a 5 count pack, and are offered in an assortment of sizes (from lonsdales to double coronas and everything in between) and your choice of Connecticut, Habano and Maduro wrappers.

Alright, alright, so more importantly, what is the cost? Each pack retails for $15.95. That's right...you get 5 cigars from Alec Bradley for under $16. That's $3.19 a stick for blends that usually retail for more than double. As many of you know, a second is a cigar that has not met the high standards of a cigar manufacturer to receive a band for a higher-priced line. There is nothing wrong with the cigar or tobacco.  The defects are usually aesthetic...maybe there's a color blemish or the wrapper has a vein. Perhaps a cigar was packed a bit too loose. Or maybe the cigar is not as solid as it should be. The sticks are usually made by beginners so this is a great way for a roller to master his trade. But if all the consumer cares about is the flavor of a cigar blend, then seconds are an intelligent purchase.

So hurry in to any Habana Port Cigar Merchants location (Baton Rouge or Covington) and be the first to buy your packs. Whether the assortment is a Torpedo or Robusto or whether it is a Connecticut or Maduro, each sampler pack costs you $15.95. And once these samplers are gone, there is no guarantee we will see this offering from Alec Bradley again (or at least anytime soon since factories do not try to produce a cigar that meets the lower classification of a second).

FYI, we should list the Easy 5 Cigar Samplers on CigarEarth.com by the end of the week.

Viaje White Label Project St. Patrick's Day 2013 Cigar

Saludos,

Greetings, candela cavalry. The Viaje White Label Project St. Patrick's Day 2013 cigar exhibits a sweet, wheat & grassy profile. This 3rd release of the WLP St. Paddy is one of now a number of candela wrapper blends seeing their way into humidors especially during March. Both Habana Port locations still have a few sticks left so if you felt you did not celebrate the Irish holiday right, you still have a chance to rectify that.
