The Don Pepin Garcia Blue Cigars Will Rock Your World! http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/2013/03/02/brace-yourselves-the-don-pepin-garcia-blue-cigars-will-rock-your-world/ http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/2013/03/02/brace-yourselves-the-don-pepin-garcia-blue-cigars-will-rock-your-world/#comments Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:10:34 +0000 Administrator http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/?p=623 The Don Pepin Garcia Blue blend of cigars is full of surprises. This sexy cigar is hand-rolled in the El Rey de Los Habanos factory in Miami by none other than the master himself, Cuban-born Jose Pepin Garcia, the patriarch of the Garcia Family.  The Garcias proudly stand behind many notable cigars they have blended and helped create for others like the Padilla Miami 8/11, Tatuaje for Pete Johnson, My Father line, 5 Vegas, amongst others, but Jose’s Blue line is very unique and special indeed.

 

Paying great attention to details, Jose blows this blend out of the park with the Nicaraguan tobacco lineup he blends the Don Pepin Garcia Blue cigars with.  Using Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo long-filler tobacco leaves and a Nicaraguan Corojo Oscuro wrapper, he has managed to create a complex and intoxicating stogie.  We have smoked complex cigars, but the Don Pepin Garcia Blue might take the cake on complexity.  While this blend falls under full-flavored, medium-to-full bodied in strength, it can still be enjoyed by most cigar smokers as it is smooth and not overpowering on the palate.

 

 

Don Pepin Garcia Blue Delicias Cigars at My Discount Cigars

Don Pepin Garcia Blue Delicias Cigars

Country of Origin: Nicaragua/USA

Flavor: Medium to Full Bodied

Wrapper: Corojo Oscuro

Binder: Nicaragua

Filler: Nicaragua

 

Each Don Pepin Garcia Blue cigar comes adorned with an intricate blue band and gold font and a blue satin ribbon on its foot. Their packaging was recently redesigned and the Blue line is offered in handcrafted cedar boxes of 25 sticks, but is also offered in 5-cigar samplers or as a single cigar sampler. It’s great that they are offered up as single sticks or 5-cigar samplers, but be fairly warned, they are made in extremely limited quantities so we highly recommend going for a full box of them if you can find them.  At a fairly reasonable price-point (from $7 – $9 per stick) it’s a very smart investment to get the full box.

 

Sizes Available:

Delicias (7 x 50, Churchill)

Exclusivos (9 ¼ x 48, Gran Corona)

Generosos (6 x 50, Toro)

Imperiales (6 ½ x 52T, Torpedo)

Invictos (5 x 50, Robusto)

 

Have we mentioned that the Don Pepin Garcia Blue cigars were rated 93 by Cigar Aficionado and named as 2008’s ‘Top 25 Cigars of the Year by them, and rightfully so!  Upon lighting the Don Pepin Garcia Blue the thick smoke begins oozing, even when it just rests in your ashtray it continues billowing thick wafts of smoke… such a sexy characteristic of a cigar, non?  Upon lighting up the first part of the Don Pepin Garcia Blue cigar you might detect a decent amount of black pepper and an earthy undertone.  As you smoke your way through the second third of the cigar the savory meatiness of it becomes more pronounced.  And on the last third of the smoke a unique woody and nutty flavoring becomes most prominent.  You can definitely detect the flavors changing throughout, but rest assured that the burn is nearly perfect, as is its ash.  If this isn’t a complex stogie, we don’t know what is!

 

Brace yourself for a very eventful smoke when you light up a Don Pepin Garcia Blue cigar!!!  Enjoy!

Oliva Serie V Melanio: Voted 2013′s Cigar of the Year by Cigar Snob! http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/2013/02/24/oliva-serie-v-melanio-voted-2013s-cigar-of-the-year-by-cigar-snob/ http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/2013/02/24/oliva-serie-v-melanio-voted-2013s-cigar-of-the-year-by-cigar-snob/#comments Sun, 24 Feb 2013 01:54:24 +0000 Administrator http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/?p=619 You might have smoked Oliva cigars, maybe even a Serie V blend, but have you tried an Oliva Serie V Melanio cigar yet?  By the time you’re done reading this, you will wish you had one!

 

Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Insider have ranked this line in the high 90s the last 3 years in a row and Cigar Snob actually voted the Melanio blend as the “Cigar of the Year” for 2013!  Similar to its predecessor, the original Serie V, delve into one of the 5 vitolas offered and taste the difference of its richness and robustness of the Nicaraguan filler and binder (grown in the Jalapa region, which gives off a natural sweetness and focuses less on strength as the original Serie V does), and the Ecuadorian Sumatran wrapper.

Oliva Serie V Melanio Cigars at My Discount Cigar

Oliva Serie V Melanio Cigars at My Discount Cigar

The Oliva Serie V Melanio cigars are box-pressed and come in boxes of 10 cigars or as single cigar samplers in the following sizes:

 

Torpedo (6 ½ x 52)

Figurado (6 ½ x 52)

Churchill (7 x 50)

Robusto (5 x 52)

Petite Corona (4 ½ x 46)


Country of Origin: Nicaragua

Flavor: Full

Wrapper: Ecuador Sumatran

Binder: Nicaragua

Filler: Nicaragua

 

While the Melanio blend falls on the full-bodied end of the strength spectrum, it is still flavorful and smooth enough to please even the most discerning cigar smoker.  The Oliva Serie V Melanio cigar’s Sumatran wrapper is silky smooth, almost veinless, reddish-brown, box-pressed, adorning a double band… quite pleasing and easy on the eyes.

 

Complex and quite tasty, you might catch a glimpse of some floral notes, malted nougat and hints of orange peel.  As you progress you will notice a pleasant, heavy smoke and the sweet earthiness almost dissipates as a salted nutty flavor makes its appearance.  A peppery, chocolate note lingers on the aftertaste.  The Melanio comes together beautifully from start to finish giving the smoker a very memorable experience.  While somewhat similar to the original Serie V the Jalapa tobaccos make the Melanio blend more complex and slightly more nuanced.

 

Created as a tribute to Melanio Oliva, who has been in the cigar industry and growing tobacco for the company since 1886, the Oliva Family takes great pride in their success in the cigar industry, and adding the Oliva Serie V Melanio is proof as well as a great way to carry on the heritage and their continued success.  While not limited edition, the Oliva Serie V Melanio is limited in production, so if you run across it, pick up a full box, as they will be hard to come by.  In our opinion the Oliva Serie V Melanio is well worth the higher price tag (ranging between $7 to $12 per stick) and is definitely the star of the show!

If you have visited Nassau, Bahamas you might have heard of the Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant where the Garzaroli Family serves fine wines, exquisite cuisine and offers the most luxurious accommodations.

The love affair with cigars began in 1997 when Enrico Garzaroli found a new hobby with his love for cigars.  He wanted to ensure that when he created his line of cigars it would be the perfect cigar that offered the highest caliber of quality, just as they do in their restaurant and hotel.  It all started out with just one cigar roller in their restaurant, and has now grown to 16 master rollers that have won their company prestigious awards such as The Robb Report’s Best of the Best award in 2003; France’s Club Cigare’s 2001 Cigar of the Year award; several high-ratings with Cigar Aficionado (88 and up) including their Best Boutique Cigar Company award!

 

Graycliff offers several blends and lines, including their Original (Red Line) that was originally blended by Fidel Castro’s personal cigar roller, Master Torcedore Avelino Lara.  Though Lara is now retired, Enrico Garzaroli and Paolo Garzaroli have taken over and created all of the company’s new blends including but not limited to the Professionale line (Blue Line), the G2 (available worldwide), Bahiba (only sold in The Bahamas), Emerald (Green Line), Chateau Grand Cru (Purple Line) and Espresso, among others.

 

Each line is unique in and of itself.  The Graycliff Original (Red Label) is a mid-strength, full-bodied cigar with a spicy finish.  The fillers hail from Honduras, Nicaragua, Brazil with a Sumatran wrapper and come in sizes such as the PG (5 ¼ x 50), the PGX (6 x 50) and Taco (4 ½ x 44) among other vitolas.  The Graycliff Professionale (Blue Label) is a medium to full bodied smoke with rich, earthy, hearty roasted coffee flavors at the core and a slightly sweet, delicate creamy finish. Slow burning and always even, the Professionale is blended from Honduran, Brazilian, Ecuadorian and Nicaraguan fillers, topped off with an Indonesian wrapper in sizes such as the Elegante (7 ¼ x 38), Corona Especiale (6 x 38) and several other sizes.  The Chateau Grand Cru (Purple Label) exudes just enough strength to please even the most picky cigar smoker.  It’s regal and seductive with its deep, unique and balanced flavors using the highest selection of very well aged tobaccos from Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.  Offering 8 sizes such as the Piccolo (4 ½ x 46) and 7 others, this is by far the most luxurious of the blends. Each line comes in boxes of 24.

 

Next time you are in Nassau, Bahamas treat yourself to an incredible meal at the Graycliff restaurant, smoke their high-end boutique cigars, take a Cigar Rolling Lesson with their expert craftsmen to get a glimpse into the daily activities of their torcedores, and spend a night or two at their fine hotel.

San Cristobal and San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol Cigars: The 2 Nicaraguan Gems Reviewed http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/2012/07/02/san-cristobal-and-san-cristobal-seleccion-del-sol-cigars-the-2-nicaraguan-gems-reviewed/ http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/2012/07/02/san-cristobal-and-san-cristobal-seleccion-del-sol-cigars-the-2-nicaraguan-gems-reviewed/#comments Mon, 02 Jul 2012 02:42:12 +0000 Administrator http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/?p=605  

From the rich, dark, fertile soil of the Garcia family’s Estrella farm in Esteli, Nicaragua hail the complex and flavorful all-Nicaraguan San Cristobal and San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol cigars.  Both lines are masterfully blended by Cuban cigarmaster Don Jose Pepin Garcia for Ashton Distributors. Both display a gorgeous colorful band with the bright red parrot as their logo and both make a very flavorful addition to your humidor.

Country of Origin: Nicaragua

Wrapper: Nicaragua

Filler:Nicaragua

SAN CRISTOBAL:
Medium to full-bodied yet meaty expect to be taken by surprise by the San Cristobal blend. The San Cristobal uses a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper as well as Cuban-seed Nicaraguan longfillers.  Expertly constructed, the San Cristobal has a Cuban-style triple-cap, burns like a dream and tastes even better. First introduced in 2007, San Cristobal cigars have been ranking between an 89 and 93 by Cigar Insider and Cigar Aficionado ratings.  Light one up and experience the savory leather undertones with hints of toast, wood, red wine, dark fruit, a touch of charcoal and a slightly spicy finish. The San Cristobal is beautifully oily and dark with a firmer draw and a white ash.  The San Cristobal cigars are balanced with an array of flavors that will please even the most discerning palates.

SAN CRISTOBAL SELECCION DEL SOL:
Just like the San Cristobal cigars the San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol cigars are also skillfully handcrafted by Don Pepin Garcia (of My Father Cigars).  They were released in 2009 using a blend of a dark, toothy Sun Grown wrapper which is exclusively grown on the Garcia’s farm in Nicaragua. The rich Nicaraguan binder, filler and wrapper tobaccos are hand selected from the first crop grown just for this blend.  The San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol is also a medium to full-bodied smoke with a pleasant appearance and a flavor profile that offers cocoa, orange peel, nuts, leather, floral undertones and a woodiness that lingers on the palate. This line was also highly rated by Cigar Aficionado with a 92 for their Toro size.

A Mild Cigar From Nicaragua? It’s True!

San Cristobal Elegancia Cigars at My Discount Cigars

San Cristobal Elegancia Cigars at My Discount Cigars

RATED 91 BY CIGAR AFICIONADO!

If you associate the San Cristobal with a full-bodied, rich, Nicaraguan smoke, you are correct. But with their latest line, the San Cristobal Elegancia, they have created a new and refreshing image for themselves with this mild to medium-bodied blend. The San Cristobal Elegancia is created by My Father Cigars’ mastermind, Don Jose Pepin Garcia, for Ashton Distributors.  For the wrapper they used a mellow and delicate Ecuadorian Connecticut tobacco, rich Nicaraguan tobaccos for the filler and binder, and a triple cap resulting in a smooth and creamy smoking experience.

San Cristobal Elegancia available in the following sizes:
Churchill (7 x 50)
Corona (5 1/2 x 46)
Imperial (6 x 52)
Pyramid (6 1/8 x 52)
Robusto (5 x 50)

San Cristobal Elegancia Robusto Cigars at My Discount Cigars

San Cristobal Elegancia Robusto Cigars at My Discount Cigars

Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Flavor: Mild to Medium
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua

Adorned with 2 bands, one of the brightly-colored San Cristobal parrot, the other noting the label of its name, “Elegancia,” the San Cristobal Elegancia is practically flawless to the eyes with no visible veins and a slightly spongy and velvety feel.  As you light up the San Cristobal Elegancia cigar you will be soothed by its smooth mildness with cedary, earthy, vanilla and oaky flavoring and a nuttiness on the finish.  But as you delve into the second half of the cigar you might notice it shift from mild to medium with leather undertones on the palate and perhaps even some cedary spice, but continuing to stay creamy and smooth to the end.  The San Cristobal Elegancia burns beautifully with a tight white ash and nearly perfect draw.

The San Cristobal Elegancia was rated 91 for the San Cristobal Elegancia Pyramid and the Robusto sizes by Cigar Aficionado.  The San Cristobal Elegancia is suitable for all types of smokers and is truly an elegant and premium smoke and rightfully deserves the well-earned and high ratings.

From Pipe Tobacco to Quality Cigars, Villiger 1888 Cigars Deconstructed http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/2012/06/20/from-pipe-tobacco-to-quality-cigars-villiger-1888-cigars-deconstructed/ http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/2012/06/20/from-pipe-tobacco-to-quality-cigars-villiger-1888-cigars-deconstructed/#comments Wed, 20 Jun 2012 02:07:40 +0000 Administrator http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/?p=593 Villiger 1888 Cigars at My Discount Cigars

Villiger 1888 Cigars at My Discount Cigars

 

Hailing from Switzerland, Villiger 1888 cigars are the latest creation from Villiger & Sons in celebration of their 120th anniversary.  Villiger Stokkebye, known for their pipe tobacco, started out in 1888 with Jean Villiger as the mastermind behind the company.  The Villiger 1888 cigars are now developed from start to end by Heinrich Villiger, who has created himself a reputation as one of the last grand old men in the cigar industry with several decades of cigar-blending, rolling and making.

The Villiger 1888 cigar is a solidly constructed, high quality cigar that is a prime example of Villiger’s great attention to detail.  It has a clean-cut appearance… flawless looking with its seamless construction, practically veinless golden wrapper, a solid and tightly packed binder and filler, a perfectly placed double cap, and its easy-to-read band.

With its Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Dominican binder, and a multinational proprietary longfiller blend (from the Caribbean and Central America) the Villiger 1888 exudes an earthy and hay-like aroma.  It might start out with a tight draw but does loosen up about halfway in.  The burn on the Villiger 1888 is almost flawless with a tight white ash and a sharp burn line.

Villiger 1888 Torpedo at My Discount Cigars

Villiger 1888 Torpedo at My Discount Cigars

The Villiger 1888 comes in 5 sizes:
Corona (6 x 43)
Perla (4 x 40)
Robusto (4 3/4 x 50)
Short Robusto (4 x 50)
Torpedo (6 x 52)

Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Flavor: Mild
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Proprietary Multinational Blend (Central America and Caribbean)

While the Villiger 1888 never claims to be a complex blend it is a refreshing change of pace from all the hardcore, ligero cigars on the market.  Its flavor profile will entice your palate with easy-going, mild hints of vanilla, musk and sweet, creamy notes rounding out with a smooth hint of wood.  An excellent choice for beginner smokers and for a breakfast cigar.

In the words of Heinrich Villiger, “As with all Villiger products, it is our hope that you will taste the artistry, skill and love that we put into every cigar.”

To order your Villiger 1888 cigars online, please visit MyDiscountCigar.com.

How much does YOUR Uzi weigh? My Uzi Weighs a Ton, Cigar Review http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/2012/06/13/how-much-does-your-uzi-weigh-my-uzi-weighs-a-ton-cigar-review/ http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/2012/06/13/how-much-does-your-uzi-weigh-my-uzi-weighs-a-ton-cigar-review/#comments Wed, 13 Jun 2012 04:29:58 +0000 Administrator http://site.mydiscountcigar.com/blog/?p=583 My Uzi Weighs a Ton by Drew Estate at My Discount Cigars

My Uzi Weighs a Ton by Drew Estate at My Discount Cigars

“When I do work, you get destroyed

Make all the paranoid, try to avoid
The Public Enemy seat I’ve enjoyed
This is no kid and I’m no toy boy
Rock, get up get down,
My uzi weighs a ton.”

I’ll stop embarrassing myself now and never rap again.  But in all seriousness, how many of you remember this little ditty by Public Enemy? Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate, that’s who! Collaborating with Joya de Nicaragua, Drew Estate proudly presents the “MUWAT” cigar, which is short for My Uzi Weighs A Ton, from the Subculture Studio line.

My Uzi Weighs A Ton cigar is offered in 3 hefty sizes:  The 5 x 60 (Robusto), the 6 x 60 (Toro) and the 7 x 60 (Churchill).  This is JD’s personal blend and it offers a myriad of complex flavors.  Every one of our staff members that has tried it has described it a bit differently, but some of the flavors that were consistent included leather, pepper, earth, plenty of coffee and sweet cocoa to round out this medium to full-bodied cigar bursting with flavor.

Beneath the My Uzi Weighs a Ton cigar’s San Andreas sheen, oily and slightly veiny wrapper is a layer of a Nicaraguan and Brazilian Mata Fina Oscuro long-filler which is enveloped with a Connecticut Broadleaf maduro binder and topped off with a unique and eye-catching band.

So the story of how JD came up with this catchy brand name goes like this.  When Jonathan picked up his personal favorite My Uzi Weighs a Ton vitola, the 6 x 60 Toro, he jokingly named it his “Uzi.”  Later he picked up a wheel of them and exclaimed, “Damn! My Uzi weighs a TON!!”  Which is how they got their unforgettable name. Get ready for a treat when you pick up the My Uzi Weighs a Ton cigars.  The My Uzi is packed densely and has some significant weight and girth to it, is a slow and cool burning stogie and it packs quite a nicotine punch as well as big, satisfying flavor. You’ve been warned.  BOOM! And now, be ready to be blown away! (Pun intended.)

Take a moment to rediscover the flavorful and mild blends of the Zino Classic Brasil, Zino Classic Sumatra and the Zino Grand Classic Brasil and the Zino Grand Classic Sumatra.

Zino Classic and Grand Classic Cigars at My Discount Cigars

Zino Classic and Grand Classic Cigars (Sumatra and Brasil) at My Discount Cigars

Created by master cigar blender Hendrik Kelner, he used the same famous top quality and reliability that make up the other Zino lines and blends.  In these aromatic and mild blends you will discover premium Connecticut-seed wrappers (or Sumatra for the Sumatran blends) grown in Ecuador, Connecticut-grown binders and a mix of Dominican, Peruvian and Indonesian tobaccos that make up the fillers.

The Zino Classic and Grand Classic blends are always smooth, mild, flavorful and imparts a subtle toasted almond flavor profile with a buttery finish on your palate.  The freshness is guaranteed as each of the Zino Classic (both Sumatra and the Brasil) as well as the Zino Grand Classic (also both the Sumatran and the Brasil blends) cigars are individually packed and sealed in a black (for the Sumatra blend) or the silver (for the Brasil blend) foil airtight humidor pack that ensures each cigar will maintain its flavors and factory freshness for several months.  Each cigar also comes pre-cut with a V-shape. So after receiving your box of Zinos you don’t have to worry about humidifying them or cutting them, they are ready to go! Bonus points for convenience!!

They use predominantly Cameroon wrappers, but for their maduro blends they use the Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. If you have never tasted the Arturo Fuente Maduro line you are definitely missing out! Each of the A. Fuente Maduro cigars are individually wrapped in the signature cedar sleeves and are distinguished with a bright green ribbon/band at the foot of each cigar. The Arturo Fuente Maduros start off with a looser draw but they do even out after a few minutes into it.

Pleasant in appearance with its rich, dark, slightly veiny wrapper, the A. Fuente Maduro is a medium-bodied stogie which aims to please. It produces a billowy, thick smoke and coats your palate with a rich chocolatey aftertaste. As you work your way through the second half of the Arturo Fuente Maduro blend you might run into a hint of spice and a slight tingle on the back of your tongue, a creamier and longer finish and more flavors coming forth such as walnuts, vanilla and a charred wood undertone, but always smooth and buttery.

The A. Fuente Maduro is pure elegance, equally in its aesthetics as well as in its construction and flavor. Don’t miss out, pick up a few sticks this weekend, kick back with a buddy and delve into a heavenly, rich-tasting, meaty and well-made maduro cigar.

The Arturo Fuente Maduro cigars are available for purchase online at MyDiscountCigar.com.
