Balmoral Añejo XO

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium now carries the Balmoral Añejo XO and Drew Estate, its exclusive United States distributor, will be shipping any day now.

The Balmoral Añejo XO is the latest Añejo line in the highly rated Balmoral portfolio.  The Añejo line uses aged Brazilian Arapiraca sun grown wrappers, olor binders from the Dominican Republic and fillers from Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The Balmoral Añejo XO are aged a minimum of six months after being rolled.

In 2014 Balmoral introduced their flagship cigar Añejo 18, which was an impressive success globally. The cigar was rated with 93 points by Cigar Journal, collected 5 cigar rings in the French magazine L’Amateur de Cigare (Cigarscope) and claimed a 12th position in the Cigar Journal top 25 of best cigars from the Dominican Republic. The rare 18-year old Arapiraca wrapper is very limited. To continue the success of Añejo, which in Spanish means “aged,” Balmoral now introduces its successor, the Balmoral Añejo XO.  The Balmoral Añejo XO is being released in three sizes, the Rothschild Massivo (5″ x 55), the Torpedo Mk52 (6 1/4″ x 52) and a Petit Robusto FT (4 3/8″ x 48). The FT stands for a distinctive flag tail cap.  All of the Balmoral Añejo XO come beautifully packaged in 20 count boxes.

Wrapper: Brazilian Arapiraca Sun Grown
Binder: Dominican Republic Olor
Filler: Brazil, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua)
Dimensions: Rothschild Massivo (5″ x 55), Torpedo Mk52 (6 1/4″ x 52), and Petit Robusto FT (4 3/8″ x 48)

Boris Wintermans, 4th generation in the family business and CEO of Royal Agio Cigars which makes the Balmoral, stated that:

“In my quest for the perfect Añejo blend, I have had the privilege to be able to work with the finest and most exquisite tobaccos in the world. The most recent creation to come out of this journey was, of course, the Añejo 18, crowned with an 18 year old Brazilian ‘Sungrown’ Arapiraca wrapper, and made by hand at our own factory in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic. After careful selection and tastings, I dare say that I have succeeded in finding a truly worthy successor: the Balmoral Añejo XO.”

Petite Robusto FT

Only this Balmoral Añejo XO can compete with the Añejo 18, according to Royal Agio Cigars. All tobaccos used have been thoroughly aged and create a sophisticated and complex aroma that is said to be beyond compare. Medium to full bodied, Royal Agio Cigars describes the Añejo XO’s taste as an explosion of aroma’s and complexity, with notes of cedar wood, spices, cacao and an underlying sweetness. Wintermans is convinced that the XO rivals the Añejo 18’s taste for complexity and subtlety and even ads a bit of extra sweetness and creaminess.

Nica Rustica Belly and Nica Rustica Short Robusto

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium ordered Nica Rustica Belly and the Nica Rustica Short Robusto at this year’s IPCPR Convention.  The Drew Estate Nica Rustica brand is expanding to three different sizes and will have a 7 1/2″ x 54 Double Corona, the “Belly,” and a 4 1/2″ x 50 Short Robusto along with the 6″ x 52 Toro, the “El Brujito.”  Since Nica Rustica was launched by Drew Estate in 2013, it was a one-size brand with the famous covered foot “El Brujito” Toro size in a very black, gritty, rustic Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper covering Nicaraguan Estelí and Jalapa fillers and a Mexican San Andrés binder.  The Nica Rusticas are very dark, spicy, and robust…they smoke like they look, no subtleties.  The packaging is also very minimal and artisanal with the El Brujito, coming  in 25-ct black craft paper bundles.  The new sizes of the Nica Rustica, the Belly and the Short Robusto will be available in 25-ct black craft paper bundles similar to the current Nica Rustica “El Brujito.”

From Drew Estate:

This is a medium to full bodied smoke – it is blended to be rustic – un-polished, un-refined, for hard core tobacco lovers. Con Orgullo (with pride) is embedded deep within the people and the culture of Esteli, Nicaragua. Estelianos have embraced the image of “El Brujito” as a sign of pride and display it though-out their city in iron works, graffiti and sculpture. Carved into stone over 6,000 years ago by a flourishing Pre-Columbian civilization, “El Brujito” literally means “Witch Doctor” or to the locals “the Shaman”. Early Shamanic practices included the use of tobacco in ceremonial and medicinal rituals. Taste Profile: Dark, rustic, spicy, robust – very long finish. Cigar Style: A potent, robust and fulfilling smoke.

Liga Privada Undercrown Shade

There is a new Liga Privada Undercrown line being introduced at this year’s IPCPR Convention that is completely different than the Undercrown line, but made by the same rollers and blended by Willy Herrera.  Liga Privada Undercrown Shade, a Connecticut Shade wrapped cigar brand that joins the popular original Undercrown San Andrés wrapped line.  Undercrown Shade marks the first release blended by Drew Estate Master Blender Willy Herrera not to fall under the Herrera Estelí brand family. Herrera’s continued involvement in blending and brand development within Drew Estate is evident with this new blend, as Herrera worked extensively with the Undercrown roller team who blended the original Undercrown line to develop this new Connecticut blend.  “Since day one, Drew Estate has demonstrated that no premium cigar company better understands its team, and that the heart of the company is the production floor and factory,”  Willy said. “This is why I chose to work closely with the rollers responsible for the original Undercrown blend, and challenged them to create a Connecticut blend that would satisfy my palate. It was a long road, taking more than a year to develop. In the end, it was a very rewarding process, as finding a Connecticut blend to fit my palate wasn’t easy.”

The Liga Privada Undercrown Shade uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Sumatran binder, as well as Dominican Criollo 98 and Nicaraguan Criollo and Corojo fillers.    The final blend is medium-bodied, lush & ultra-smooth, flavors that only a shade grown wrapper can deliver.  It’s a big change from the original Undercrown blend which used a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Connecticut River habano binder and fillers from Brazil and Nicaragua, but the final result is still Liga Privada quality.  The new Undercrown Shade will be available in 25-count boxes and most sizes will begin shipping in Fall 2015.

The new Undercrown Shade line will be presented in six formats, mirroring the San Andres-wrapped Undercrown core line that you’ve come to love. These sizes include a Belicoso (6” x 52), Corona Doble (7” x 54), Corona (5 5/8” x 46), Gordito (6” x 60), Gran Toro (6” x 52), and Robusto (5” x 54).

Padrón Dámaso

Padrón Cigars, a mark that needs no introduction, winner of countless awards and the highest ratings from multiple publications, is introducing a new line of cigars for the first time in seven years!  Get ready for the Padrón Dámaso. The Padrón Dámaso is Padrón’s first new regular production line since the Family Reserve ultra-premium line back in 2008.  The Padrón Dámaso is expected to be priced between $10 and $14, but no official pricing has been released by Padrón.  Anthony’s Cigar Emporium will be at the official unveiling of Padrón Dámaso on the July 17^th IPCPR Convention, and will be taking pre-orders next week.  Padrón Cigars expects to begin shipping the Padrón Dámaso in late August – early September.

The Padrón Dámaso is a round parejo, Connecticut Shade wrapped cigar, being a true departure of the sharply box pressed Nicaraguan puros that Padrón is famous for. “This is a totally new blend, completely different than anything we have done before,” Jorge Padrón, president of Padrón Cigars Inc., told Cigar Aficionado. “It’s Connecticut our way.”  The Connecticut seed wrapper is the first by Padrón. The company has worked with a specific “formula” in terms of all of its releases – namely releasing a Nicaraguan Habano natural and a Maduro wrapper with 100% Nicaraguan long fillers.  The Padrón Dámaso features a Connecticut seed wrapper from an undisclosed country over Nicaraguan binder and filler leaves.  The Connecticut seed wrapper is believed to be the first by Padrón. The company has worked with a “formula” in terms of its releases – namely releasing a Nicaraguan Habano natural and a Maduro wrapper. The Padrón Dámaso is rolled adjacent to Padrón’s main cigar factory in Estelí Nicaragua  “It’s made next to the existing factory, in an area where we used to store [tobacco] bales. We moved the bales and made that into the [Dámaso] factory,” said Jorge Padrón, President of Padrón and son of José Padrón. Jorge said his strategy was to make a milder cigar, but one that still had character. “It has to taste like tobacco, it has to have flavor,” he said. “Everything is still the same—we just didn’t want to mix the two. It’s important to separate.”  Jorge Padrón indicated the change required hiring some new workers, but the majority of the workers on the new project had worked at Padrón before. “Ninety percent of the people are coming from within,” he said.

Padrón brochures describe the cigar as “for those who seek the quality and consistency of Padrón in a milder taste profile.”  Jose Padrón, founder Padrón  Cigars,  described the inspiration of the Padrón Dámaso:  This Cigar was named for my grandfather Dámaso, who was the first Padrón to arrive in Cuba sometime in the late 1800’s from the Canary Islands.  In Cuba, we called people from the ‘Isleños.’  They were serious people who kept their word. Isleños tended to work in farming, and in this tradition my grandfather rented a small piece of land in Pinar del Rio and started growing tobacco.  Dámaso was an honest decent man and a hard worker.  He taught us to honor our word and be humble.  These are lessons that have stayed with me throughout my life.  I have tried to pass them on to my children.  It means a lot to me that we are making this cigar in honor of my grandfather.  He gave us life, a family and our start in this industry.  I hope he’s somewhere looking down and feeling proud of the company we have built.  I’d like to think Dámaso would be honored that we are continuing his legacy.  He would be proud that cigars bearing his name are sold around the world.

The Padróns have been working on Padrón Dámaso for nearly a year, but the concept of the cigar preceded its title. When it came time to think of a name, Jorge Padrón turned to his three children. He said: “One day I came home and I sat down with my kids, and I said ‘Can any of you come up with a name for a new cigar?” His son, Jorge Luis, suggested Dámaso after doing some research on the Internet. “My dad,” Jorge said, “loved it.”  Jorge Padrón said he had no short-term production targets for Padrón Dámaso.

Padrón Dámaso will come in four sizes to begin with, each of them named for the age of one of José Orlando Padrón’s grandchildren. No. 8 measures 5 ½” x 46 (Corona); No. 12 is 5” x 50 (Robusto); No. 15 is 6” x 52 (Toro) and No. 17 is 7” x 54 (Churchill).  Jorge said: “We’re going to go little by little. We’re not in a hurry. We want to make sure this product comes out and launches on the right foot. We’re focused on producing a quality product… We want to make sure we have products for every consumer—that’s the goal.”  The Padrón Dámaso will be packaged in 20 count boxes.  The cigar is described as mild to medium bodied.

La Palina Red Label Collection

Country of Manufacture: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
Binder: Ecuadorian
Filler: Nicaragua and Dominican Republic
Dimensions: Gordo (6″ x 60), Toro (6″ x 50), Robusto (5″ x 52), and Petit Lancero (6″ x 40)

La Palina will introduce its new La Palina Red Label Collection at the IPCPR Convention on July 17.  Anthony’s Cigar Emporium will be ordering each size at the Convention.  Each La Palina Cigar has received reviews in the 90s by several publications since the company was re-launched in 2010 with beautiful cigars of exceptional quality and impeccable construction.  La Palina expects to ship the La PAlina Red Label Collection at the end of July.  La Palina describes the blend as full of flavor, not of strength. The Red Label is a cigar that has premium quality Ecuadorian leaf for its wrapper and Binder, the wrapper being Cuban-seed Habano. The filler is a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos that perform in unison. Recently, newer releases have been featuring a Nicaraguan and Dominican filler blend which combine in unison. The La Palina Red Label starts out mild and never gets beyond medium, with the Nicaraguan tobaccos giving body, whereas the Ecuadorian and Nicaragua provide balance and finesse.  The La PAlina Red Label Collection is reminiscent of the Mr. Sam in terms of strength.

The La Palina Red Label is a beautiful cigar, with exquisite construction that is a hallmark of La Palina made cigars. A delicate spice compliments the creamy and rich smoke, while the subtle sweetness on the finish will give you pause between puffs. This is a smoke that is meant to be smoked lightly, savoring the cedary aroma.  The La Palina Red Label Collection is manufactured in the Dominican Republic.  The new line features four classic vitolas:  Gordo (6″ x 60), Toro (6″ x 50), Robusto (5″ x 52), and Petit Lancero (6″ x 40).

 Make sure you reserve your box by pre-ordering and enjoy free shipping.

La Flor Dominicana La Nox

The La Flor Dominicana La Nox is one of the more anticipated launches at this year’s IPCPR Convention this weekend.  The La Flor Dominicana La Nox is the brainchild of Antonio (Tony) Gomez, son of brand founder Litto Gomez.  This cigar has been under development for two years.  Antonio has had two limited production releases before that were highly successful: the Chapter I and the Capítulo II, each launched at the last two IPCPR Conventions.  Anthony’s Cigar Emporium will be ordering plenty of boxes of La Flor Dominicana La Nox at the IPCPR Convention. The La Flor Dominicana La Nox will also be a limited production release, so it is important to grab them up because it unknown when they may ever be released again, however Antonio Gomez has indicated that the plan is for La Nox to be a continuous limited release. 

The La Flor Dominicana La Nox is a very unique release from La Flor Dominicana.  Firstly, the packaging is quite modern by LFD standards.  The packaging will be in a circular style box that is magnetically attached to its lid with a theme of the night, “La Nox” is “The Night” in Latin. The bands will also reflect this motif.  Both the band and boxes use a night time scene with the font being inspired by that of Vincent van Gogh, famous for his “Starry Night.”

The cigars feature well-fermented leaves.  The wrapper is a shiny, black Brazilian Cubra Maduro, the binder is Mexican San Andrés, and fillers are a 100% Dominican blend of Piloto and Pelo de Oro leaves grown at Estancia La Flor de la Palma in La Canela.  The cigars were rolled at La Flor Dominicana’s Tamboril factory.

According to La Flor Dominicana, La Nox, “It’s smooth smoke and rich flavor were crafted for elegance and power. The result is a cigar that embodies its name and the serene experience that only the night can provide.”  According to Tony Gomez, La Nox is medium-full, but smooth—and of course dark cigar.  The La Flor Dominicana La Nox is being released in a single size: a 6 ½” x 50 Toro.

Viaje Skull and Bones Ten Ton Tess Collector’s Edition Jar

Four years ago Viaje released a new cigar called the Skull and Bones Daisy Cutter which was the first release in a now very extensive, highly sought-after, limited edition line of Viajes called Skull and Bones.  Over the years the line has taken on many names, shapes and sizes.  The Skull and Bones series has had over twenty releases in the last four years, each very rare and coveted.  In April 2015, Farkas indicated that the Skull and Bones line would be making a return: “I can’t say when. I could say when, but that will ruin the surprise. I do like surprises. Very soon, you are going to see something really special with Skull and Bones.”

And now we have seen the preview of the new Skull and Bones that will be unveiled at this year’s IPCPR Convention in New Orleans this month.  It is named the Viaje Skull and Bones Ten Ton Tess.  The Ten Ton Tess is a 6″ x 54 Toro packaged in limited edition collector’s jars like the Double Edged Swords from 2013.  The Collector’s Edition Jars are made in two colors, Black and White, with a humidification element and fit 19 cabinet wrapped Ten Ton Tess cigars each.  Only 1,000 Viaje Skull and Bones Ten Ton Tess Collector’s Edition Jars were produced – 500 black, 500 white.

Both Black and White jars contain Ten Ton Tess cigars of the same blend.  The Viaje Skull and Bones Ten Ton Tess have Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrappers, Dominican binders, and fillers from the Unites States, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic.  Up until last year, Viaje was making cigars out of Raices Cubanas in Honduras.  Now Farkas is utilizing three additional factories in three different countries: TABSA in Nicaragua, Casa Fermandez in Miami, and PDR Cigars in the Dominican Republic.  The Viaje Skull and Bones Ten Ton Tess is made at Abraham Flores’ PDR factory in the Dominican Republic.

Keeping with many of the explosives motifs of Viaje line names, the Ten Ton Tess is named after the 22,000 lb earthquake category bomb dropped by the Royal Air Force in World War II.

Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage – 2015 release

The Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage  is being re-released in 2015 following Tabacalera Perdomo’s success with this limited release line which debuted in 2014.  The blends remain the same, with 12 year old 100% Nicaraguan fillers and binders and Ecuadorian Connecticut, Nicaraguan Sun Grown, and Nicaraguan Maduro wrappers.  Anthony’s Cigar Emporium has already received its shipment of the first release of this line, the Connecticut Shade and will receive shipments of the Sun Grown and Maduro wrapped Double Aged 12 Year Vintage cigars as soon as Perdomo ships them to retailers.

From Tabacalera Perdomo’s Press Release:

<<The Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage is a blend of Perdomo’s finest and most cherished 12 year old fillers, binders, and wrappers. These rare tobaccos have been carefully bale aged for ten years and then barrel aged for an additional two years. Using a proprietary double‐aging process, each leaf of seco, viso, ligero, binder, and wrapper is aged in charred, white oak bourbon barrels. This unique double‐aging process ensures the perfect color, texture, aroma, and flavor in these tobaccos, making each cigar a well‐balanced and full‐flavored smoking experience.

The first release, scheduled for July 2015, will be in a beautiful Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, offering a smooth smoke with a creamy complexity, slight hints of caramel and cedar, with a rich, buttery finish. The second release, scheduled for August 2014, will be in a rich Nicaraguan Sun Grown wrapper, offering a smooth smoke with a spicy‐ sweet complexity, slight hints of oak and almond, with a long warming finish. The third release, scheduled for September 2015, will be in an oily Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper, offering a smooth smoke with a natural sweet complexity, hints of dark cocoa and coffee, with a rich, robust finish.

Created using the Perdomo family’s time‐honored Cuban traditions, each Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage blend pairs extremely well with the finest Scotch whisky, bourbon, rum, cognac, port, red wine, craft beer, or coffee. Beautifully presented in stunning 24‐count boxes, these blends will be offered in the following four sizes: Robusto (5 x 56), Epicure (6 x 56), Churchill (7 x 56 , and Gordo Extra (6 1/2 x 60)…

I’m extremely proud of this brand and we are very excited to share these special cigars,” states Nick Perdomo, Jr.>>
