More info about purchasing Alec Bradley New York cigars...

New Yorkers have a lot to be proud of. Having grown up in the Big Apple, I can understand why it’s considered to be the greatest city in the world. With its storied past, historic monuments, and proud population, New York breeds a certain “state of mind”. And now New Yorkers have something else to call their own, a cigar made exclusively for the New York market. This new Alec Bradley cigar is simply named New York, and its big flavor and bold character reflects much of what its namesake is all about.

More info about purchasing Padilla Dominus cigars...

The Padilla Dominus is a Nicaraguan puro which uses a hybrid tobacco (Cuban-seed Nicaraguan Corojo) planted in 2006. As a result, there is limited availability of these leaves which makes this cigar a bit hard to find and also expensive. In a press release, it was mentioned that only fifty authorized dealers were selected to carry the Dominus. This cigar is available in seven vitolas; the 5 X 50 Robusto is today’s featured selection.

Many thanks to Joel from Los Nietos cigars for providing a sampler for this review.

At first glance, the Luca Del Toro is a very picturesque cigar. There are some slight veins but with nearly invisible seams and a bold looking wrapper it creates a perfect image. A golden bull, after the cigar’s namesake, stands out on the band’s stark white field while its block gold lettering reminds me of the styles adorning old time Western movie posters. The full length of this cigar is firm and solid without much give and the foot exudes a distinct caramel scent, which is extremely pleasant.

My very good friend and drinking buddy, Rob Garrison (Territory Manager - Altadis U.S.A.), recently gave me a new release from one of their premium brands, the H. Upmann - Sun Grown. The Sun Grown was debuted at the 2010 IPCR and is currently making its way onto Tobacconist's shelves. It is made in Honduras at the La Flor de Copan cigar factory and is being released in six vitolas: Churchill - 54 x 7, Magnum - 54 x 6, Short Churchill - 54 x 4-1/2, No. 2 - 52 x 6-1/8, Corona - 44 x 5-1/2, and Lancero - 40 x 7-1/2.

For this review I smoked the Magnum and No. 2.

Hello fellow cigar enthusiasts, and welcome to another review by the Father & Son cigar review team known as The Tollaficionados. Today I would like to bestow on you the merits of a fine, exclusive stick – The CAO Colombia.

This fine cigar is a private label for the incredibly popular cigar retailer Serious Cigars. They can be purchased online at www.seriouscigars.com. With their company being located in Houston, Texas, and my abode with deep roots in Westchester, New York, they still manage to get my sticks to me in only 2 days. (Priority Mail) Always freshly wrapped with a moisture packet and in a box that keeps them in pristine condition. Definitely one of the better online cigar superstores that I have found!

Now, on to the cigar. We both had the Robusto (5” x 50), though you can get this edition of CAOs country line in a Belicoso, Churchill and Corona Gorda as well. The Robusto sells for $7.95. Not bad at all for the quality of this smoke.
