Weekly News – Apr. 15th, 2015

It’s no news that the traditional Romeo & Julieta line by Altadis is a classic Dominican standard. Their RYJ series, however, is a bit of a departure, a Nicaraguan puro constructed in Honduras by La Flor de Copán of excellent tobacco: fillers of 2010 Jalapa and Esteli, double binders from the same regions, and a wrapper of fine Jalapa corojo-seed. This latest addition is a 5½” x 44 corona, the perfect size to savor this medium-bodied blend in all its complexity. Try one next time you’re in!

Just in time for the warm weather, we’ve got a new array of sample bags that will satisfy your craving for variety! Come in and suss out the selection – lots of great cigars in an assortment of sizes and blends, all at vastly discounted prices! (While you’re here, be sure to have a peek in the Reduced Box Bin and theclose-out trays as well…there are many enjoyable cigars just waiting to be rediscovered!)

If you missed the Pipe Club last weekend, have no fear: the gang meets here on the second Saturday of every month. Come on down, meet some kindred spirits and try a few of our fine blends from Cornell & Diehl, McClelland, G.L. Pease, J.F. Germain & Son, and many, many others.

Winter is finally over, and the golfers aren’t the only ones coming out of hibernation… The cigar industry is also awakening from its seasonal lull and preparing to unleash some fine new wares on us! Keep your eyes on your fries (and this handy newsletter!) to stay abreast of the fantastic selections headed our way from companies both old and new. And be sure to visit ASW often, because there’s no telling what will surface when…or how long it will stick around!

Congratulations to Mike S., a hardcore fan of Laranja (who isn’t?) who won the draw in our Espinosa Buy-4-Get-1-Free raffle and walked away with the exclusive Espinosa humidor!
