Weekly Email – October 21st, 2015

Hot on the heels of our Duran event last week, we received a SMALL supply of these: The Roberto P. Duran Signature Edition Salomon by Cristiano “Santo” Cárdenas! Santo, a legendary Cuban roller and blender with over 55 years of experience, has recently been brought on board as Duran’s master blender, and this is his debut…a 7¼” x 57 salomon in Santo’s own interpretation of the Duran signature blend.Only 3,000 cigars were produced in toto. (Not boxes, mind you…cigars.) Each and every cigar was rolled by Santo himself, and is presented in an individual coffin signed by the creator.

We have a very limited supply of these on hand. Get one while you can and enjoy…or put it away for a special occasion. Cigars this good are few and far between.

Seen above in the hand of the man responsible for this excellent new line –Hamlet Jaime Paredes himself (who paid us a visit at ASW today) – be prepared for the imminent arrival of the Hamlet Tabaquero, a maduro with muscle!This highly-anticipated new cigar is an exceptional blend of Mexican San Andrés wrapper, a double binder of San Andrés and Brazilian Mata Fina, and select Nicaraguan fillers…and it is also Hamlet’s first non-Cuban blend. Having worked for many years at the Partagas factory in Havana, Hamlet made a splash recently during a visit to Burn, the Rocky Patel lounge in Naples, Florida; the result was an offer to create his own line, and the Tabaquero was born.

Our shipment of Hamlet’s finest is even now en route, so stay tuned…!
