Leave a comment

el_galan_cigars

Felix A. Mesa is an incredible master blender. The proof is in his brand of cigars, El Galan. Developed for the purpose of honoring his family’s traditions while offering a cigar suitable for a sophisticated palate, the El Galan cigar brand is truly elegant.

Mesa manages to create cigars that honor the traditions set by cigar makers in Cuba so many generations ago. There are three lines of El Galan cigars: El Galan Natural, El Galan Reserva Especial, and El Galan Maduro. The cigars are produced in Esteli, Nicaragua with great care. Here is a breakdown of the El Galan cigars:

The Reserva Especial cigar is completely Nicaraguan. The cigars are available in four different sizes and come box-pressed in packs of five. It’s medium to full-bodied and a great representation of the El Galan brand.

The El Galan Maduro cigar is very unique from the Reserva Especial. With a Maduro wrapper from Brazil, this dark cigar is perfectly blended with filler from both Nicaragua and the Dominican. The cigar is earthy, woody, and very enjoyable. Best of all, it doesn’t come with the high price tag that you would expect from such a quality cigar.

The El Galan Natural cigar features a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, Dominican fillers and a binder from Nicaragua. The cigar is available in five sizes and is box-pressed.

Try any one of the El Galan cigars for the best online prices when you buy from Cuenca Cigars. Whether you’re looking for a great Maduro or a Nicaraguan puro, El Galan is a great option.

The Camacho Shellback: A Limited Edition Cigar

Leave a comment

CAM_LE15_Shellback_InfluencerAll of the cigars in the Camacho Brotherhood Series are designed to celebrate the brotherhood of cigar smokers. The Camacho Shellback cigar is no different. The name “Shellback” is a term used to describe a sailor who has, for the first time in his life, crossed the Ecuador and gone through an initiation ceremony. The Shellback cigar celebrates the special brotherhood of everyone who loves cigars.

How does a cigar celebrate this? The Camacho Shellback cigar is like a rite of passage; it’s a special smoke. There are only 4,000 boxes of the Shellback cigar available. It’s the first limited edition cigar in the Brotherhood Series, and it’s different from other cigars in the line in another way too. Instead of showcasing Honduran tobacco, the Shellback cigar expands its boundaries. Although it is made in the Honduran AgroIndustries Laepe factory, the cigar is made with a Nicarguan filler from Esteli and a Nicaraguan binder. The blend is wrapped in an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper.

The Camacho Shellback cigar is only available in one size: a 6×50 Toro. It comes in boxes of 20, but remember- it’s a limited edition cigar. Buy yours online with Cuenca Cigars. You can get the best online prices with us from our convenient website.

Padilla Cigars Go Big At The 2015 IPCPR

Leave a comment

Padilla La Pilar BannerThe 2015 IPCPR was a big trade show for Ernesto Padilla. In addition to launching Padilla Corojo and Padilla San Andres, Padilla debuted the La Pilar cigar. Ernesto Padilla’s boutique cigar company has put out some real gems in the past, and Padilla La Pilar is no exception. The cigar is highly rated, and this is for good reason.

One of the exciting things about the La Pilar is where it’s made. Remember the Padilla Series ’68? That fantastic cigar was made at the Tabacalera Aguilar in Honduras. La Pilar is made at the same factory. The blend features Nicaraguan long-leaf filler tobacco from Esteli and Jalapa and some Dominican fillers as well. The binder is Nicaraguan, and the whole blend is enveloped in an Ecuador Habano Oscuro wrapper.

The resulting cigar is medium-bodied. The draw, aroma, and balance is all spot-on. Even the price is spot-on! The cigar comes in boxes of 20 and you can choose from three different sizes. When you shop with Cuenca Cigars, you can get your cigars for the best online prices at Padilla La Pilar Cigars.

Aging Room Ffortissimo M19 Banners

Every year since 2013, Boutique Blends has showcased a new cigar in the Aging Room Ffortissimo line. Each cigar is strong, and made with tobacco aged for over 14 years. Each cigar has also been a success, and the newest addition is no exception.

The Ffortissimo M21 was 2013’s release. The Habano wrapper and strong blend made this cigar a hit, with a 93 rating. 2014’s addition to the Ffortissimo line was the M20. This box-pressed beauty rated a 91. For 2015, the Aging Room Ffortissimo M19 cigar combines qualities of both cigars. It has a beautiful Habano wrapper borrowed from the M21, and is box-pressed like the M20. Even the filler of the M19 has ties to both cigars- the filler from the M20 and M21 is combined in the blend.

So, for a quick recap, Ffortissimo M19 has a Habano wrapper, Dominican filler, Dominican binder, and aged tobacco. It’s a strong cigar for the experienced smoker. Like the other two Ffortissimo cigars, the M19 is limited edition. There are only 20,000 in circulation.
