LFD and Drew Estate Halloween Event at Anthony’s Cigar Emporium Campbell Location

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium Campbell at 4419 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson, Arizona (NW Corner of River and Campbell)  will be hosting an event on Thursday October 22, from 5-9PM featuring Antonio Gomez of La Flor Dominicana and Pedro Gomez of Drew Estate.  Great cigar deals plus food and refreshments will be offered.

Our events are something of a legend in the cigar world around Tucson. Typically, we feature a brand or vendor and host a representative, VP, and sometimes even a Master Blender or Owner, who will come and educate you on the cigar being featured.

Antonio Gomez, a master blender for LFD and the son of the company’s founder Litto Gomez will be there.   Even if you don’t know who Antonio Gomez is, you have probably enjoyed one of the cigars he’s blended.  La Flor Dominicana has been producing premium and ultra-premium cigars since the ’90s.  Antonio is a master blender and has blended the Limited Production Capitulo II and the hot, brand new La Nox, featuring Brazilian tobaccos in the filler and a shiny, maduro Brazilian Cubra wrapper.

Also in attendance will be Pedro Gomez, national sales manager for Drew Estate.  Of course, Drew Estate cigars need no introduction, offering a wide variety of flavors, aromas, and unique experiences.  Pedro Gomez has worked at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua for years.

Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity to meet genuine cigar experts available to answer any questions.

Partagas Aniversario – IN STOCK at Anthony’s Cigar Emporium

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium has just received the Partagas Aniversario, a limited edition following the anniversary limited editions: the Partagas 150 and the Partagas 160.

Partagas cigars have been long regaled by connoisseurs for their consistently superior taste and meticulous construction. These attributes were steeped in the brand’s Cuban roots and are celebrated this year on it’s 170th anniversary. For the famous Partagas 150 and the Partagas 160, Partagas has used ultra-premium Cameroon wrappers. The Partagas Aniversario also uses an aged Cameroon wrapper cultivated by the Meerapfel family exclusively for General Cigar Co. in the equatorial Kadei forest of Cameroon, which is in the eastern part of the country bordering the Central African Republic. The soil in Kadei is described as being rich enough that it does not require the use of fertilizer. Being harvested from the highest priming of the tobacco plant, the wrapper leaf lends a layered, nuanced approach to the art of the cigar, imparting notes of earth and sweetness.

In addition, the Partagas Aniversario uses a Connecticut Habano binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, including “Nicaraguan Guardian leaf,” another proprietary leaf grown by General Cigar Co. The Partagas Aniversario was four years in development before being released. The Partagas Aniversario is exquisitely packaged in ten count boxes.

Made by: Partagas
Place of Manufacture: Estelí, Nicaragua
Wrapper: Meerapfel Cameroon

Viaje Collaboration 2015 – IN STOCK @ Anthony’s Cigar Emporium

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium has received the Viaje Collaboration 2015.  They are ready to ship immediately.

Viaje introduced the Collaboration series in 2014 with the release of the Viaje Collaboration 2014. According to Viaje President Andre Farkas, the concept of this series is that Viaje will collaborate with another member of the cigar industry “every year or so” to develop a cigar. In 2014, Viaje teamed with Casa Fernandez and created a Nicaraguan puro blend using Aganorsa tobacco. For Viaje, there has been a close relationship with Casa Fernandez over the years. Aganorsa tobacco has been incorporated into every Viaje blend, and Casa Feranandez has worked with Viaje to make their cigars. Obviously, 2015 marks a departure with the Viaje Collaboration 2015.

For the Viaje Collaboration 2015, Viaje turns to master blender Abe Flores of PDR Cigars in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. Farkas worked with Abe on the 2015 C-4, TNT and the Skull and Bones Ten Ton Tess Collectors Edition. The Viaje Collaboration 2015 is an all-Cuban seed blend featuring an Ecuadorian Habano 2000 wrapper, two binder leaves of Dominican tobacco, and a filler consisting of Dominican Corojo, Dominican Piloto Cubano, and Nicaraguan tobacco from Condega.

Made by: PDR Cigars for Viaje
Place of Manufacture: Tamboril, Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano 2000

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium has just received this year’s Viaje’s Halloween limited release – the Viaje Full Moon 2015.  For Halloween 2015, Viaje again released the Viaje Full Moon 2015, a very limited Nicaraguan puro made at Raices Cubanas using all AGANORSA tobacco.  Viaje is returning to the Raices Cubanas factory in Danli, Honduras to make these cigars and using AGANORSA tobaccos.  Recently, Viaje has been making its cigars at the PDR factory in the D.R. and incorporating tobaccos outside of Nicaragua in recent releases.

The packaging has not changed from the previous limited editions. The Full Moon 2015 box features a lacquered circular-shaped box with a Halloween jack-o-lantern design on it. The circular 24 ct. box is shipped in a cardboard carrying case with a similar design on it.

The blend has not changed either, having a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper draping a 100% AGANORSA Nicaraguan filler blend. However, this year there is also an Ediciobn Limitada version with a secondary band. This cigar has a maduro wrapper of undisclosed origin.

Only 150 24 ct. dress boxes of Full Moon 2015 and Full Moon Edicion Limitada 2015 each were produced.

These cigars are IN STOCK and ready to ship immediately. Order yours today and make sure you don’t miss out. They will go fast.

Crowned Heads Mason-Dixon Project Annual Limited Release

Mason-Dixon Project is from the same team that has created Las Calaveras and Jericho Hill:  Crowned Heads and My Father Cigars.  The Mason-Dixon Project is the annual  Crowned Heads nationwide regional release, featuring two different blends of the finest tobaccos, and made by My Father Cigars, S.A. in Esteli, Nicaragua.  Following up the sought-after 2014 Mason-Dixon Project release, Crowned Heads, in partnership with Don Pepin Garcia and My Father Cigars, has created two unique blends that are different from the 2014 Mason-Dixon Project releases.  The Mason-Dixon Project MMXV (2015) LE Northern Edition features a high-priming Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and 100% Nicaraguan binder and filler.  The silky-texture and dark chocolate appearance of the Habano wrapper surrounds a blend of Nicaraguan leaves that result in a medium to full flavor profile that is at once bold yet accessible.  The Mason-Dixon Project MMXV LE Southern Edition features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and 100% Nicaraguan binder and filler leaves.  The Grade A dark Dark Broadleaf Maduro wrapper used on the Mason-Dixon Project MMXV Southern Blend finishes a blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos that results in a flavor profile that is best described as an “amped-up” version of the Mason-Dixon Project MMXV Northern Blend MMXV Northern Edition.  Each blend, Northern and Southern is limited to 30,000 cigars; 1,500 20 ct. boxes.

From Halfwheel: “Last year’s MDP LE inaugural release was very well-received; especially the Northern Edition which utilized a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper,” Crowned Heads co-owner Jon Huber told halfwheel in an email. “So for this year’s release, we wanted to take that blend’s ‘base’ and turn the volume up a bit for the Southern Edition. This year’s Northern Edition sports a beautiful dark-brown Habano wrapper and is a bold yet balanced blend that combines sweet and spice.  We also box-pressed both cigars this year, in order to further differentiate them from the 2014 MDP LE.”

Mason-Dixon Project MMXV Northern Edition: Ecuadorian Habano Wrapper, Production Limited to 1,500 boxes.

Mason Dixon Project MMXV Southern Edition: Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, production limited to 1,500 boxes.

All Mason-Dixon Project 2015 boxes come with free shipping at Anthony’s Cigar Emporium.

They will be shipping at end of October, 2015.

Caldwell Sevillana Reserva – NOW IN STOCK

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium has received the new Caldwell Sevillana Reserva, part of Caldwell’s new Iberian Express brands. The Iberian Express brands have replaced Caldwell’s Junior Varsity Collection as its brand of premium value-priced cigars. The Sevillana is now called the Caldwell Sevillana Reserva and has remade packaging, notably now coming in 25 ct boxes. The Caldwell Sevillana Reserva mild bodied, smooth and buttery blend with the notable Connecticut Shade wrapper that is exactly the same as the old Sevillana. The Sevillana was one of former Davidoff Caldwell Master Blender William Ventura’s Dominican brands prior to being Caldwell’s exclusive cigar maker at Caldwell’s new factory in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. The Sevillana was a well-constructed, full-flavored cigar in its own right and never a “Caldwell Second.” However, Robert Caldwell was concerned enough about the brand’s identity that he repackaged it.

From Cigar Coop: “Caldwell explained on Stogie Geeks that the Junior Varsity was originally a line being made by Tabacalera William Ventura and marketed in the Dominican Republic. Caldwell thought they were great cigars and reworked them to have some larger ring gauges (they were all originally small ring gauges). Caldwell mentioned that sometimes the name “JV” (Junior Varsity) was perceived as a “Caldwell Second”. Originally he had planned for Junior Varsity to be the “workhorse” line and Caldwell Collection was going to be his crown jewel. As a result of this, Caldwell Collection ended up taking both roles, thus he made plans to rework it.”

The Caldwell Sevillana Reserva is made at the new Caldwell Cigar Factory in Tamboril.
