San Cristobal Ovation Cigar Deserves A Standing Ovation

1 Comment

san-cristobal-ovationThe San Cristobal Ovation cigar was aptly named. It’s so good that it demands a standing ovation, an encore. So just what is it that makes this cigar so special?

The San Cristobal Ovation cigar features a blend with Nicaraguan fillers from the one and only My Father Cigars farm. The wrapper is anything but simple- it’s a 2.5 year double fermented Mexican San Andres oscuro wrapper. Manufactured in Esteli at the My Father Cigars factory, the Ovation cigar is made with experience. There were only 3,000 boxes of the cigars made, with 22 cigars in every box.

This isn’t the first time Ashton Cigars Inc has made a limited edition Nicaraguan cigar. In 2014, they launched the La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse cigar. The cigar was a success, and the Ovation cigar is even more impressive.

The San Cristobal Ovation cigar is only produced in size 6 ½ x 52. Try one of these limited edition gems when you buy them from Cuenca Cigars for the best online prices.

El Centurion Cigars In New Sizes

el-centurion-new-size-corona-toro-box-pressed-blog-post

El Centurion cigars first appeared in 2007. Jose “Pepin” Garcia launched this line as his first limited edition line of cigars. The cigars were so rare that only about 2,550 boxes were produced. Making the cigar even more high-end, the cigar’s wrapper was a corojo. The price-tag reflected the uniqueness of the cigar- it retailed at about $14.

Fans of El Centurion were thrilled when, in 2013, the Garcia’s decided to release El Centurion cigars as a regular production line. The launch was part of a celebration honoring the ten years the Garcia family had been involved in the cigar business.

The new El Centurion cigar was slightly different than the original. At around $10, the price tag was lower. Instead of a corojo wrapper, the cigar featured a ’98 Criollo wrapper. Although the tobacco blend remained all Nicaraguan, the types of Nicaraguan tobacco differed. This blend had four types of tobacco- one of which is Sancti Spiritus. Sancti Spiritus is very unique and added a great deal of flavor to the cigar.

In 2015, the Garcia family expanded the El Centurion line by adding two new sizes. You can get the medium to full-bodied cigar in box-pressed Corona or box-pressed Toro sizes, as well as the original Robusto, Belicoso, Toro and Grande.

Flor de Las Antillas cigars, launched by My Father Cigars in May of 2012, are the company’s first line of cigars to be completely box-pressed. Since their release, the cigars have been a major success. It even won a “Number One Cigar of the Year” honor. Other accomplishments include a score of the 96 points and eight ratings above 90. It shouldn’t be a shock that My Father has recently continued to improve the line by adding a new size.

This new size, Toro Grande, was launched at the 2015 IPCPR trade show. The 6 x 60 box-pressed cigar is one of five sizes available in Flor de Las Antillas.

The name of these cigars says a lot. The cigar is named after Cuba, the largest island in the chain of islands known as the Greater Antilles Islands. This is the Garcia family’s birthplace, home of a rich history of cigar making. Flor de Las Antillas is constructed with excellent quality and packed with flavor to make it represent its namesake.

Most of the cigars produced by My Father Cigars are full-bodied, but Flor de Las Antillas is not. This medium-bodied cigar has a rich Sun Grown Nicaraguan wrapper. Inside, the cigar has Cuban seed long-fillers from Nicaragua and a Nicaraguan binder. It’s smooth, balanced and more flavorful than you could imagine.

For the best online prices, you can buy Flor de Las Antillas in Toro Grande from Cuenca Cigars. You can also try it in Belicoso, Robusto, Toro or Toro Gordo.

Tatuaje Verocu Cigars Come Back

Originally designed for limited release in 2007, the Tatuaje Verocu Lado Occidental and Tatuaje Verocu Zona del Este cigars were quite popular. Eight years later, Pete Johnson has relaunched and circulated six different sizes of the Tatuaje Verocu blend.

So that you know what to expect, take a look at a review of the Tatuaje Verocu # 3:

The wrapper of the Tatuaje Verocu is a Nicaraguan Rosado Oscuro. The filler and binder are also Nicaraguan, and the cigar is moderate to full-bodied.

The wrapper of the Tatuaje Verocu is visually appealing, given that darkness of it contrasts well against the silver and red of the label. It has an oily appearance and is begging to be smoked.

Unlit, the cigar produces an earthy and chocolate flavor. After lighting it, the chocolate flavor persists and there are some peppery notes. Then, a mocha flavor takes over and persists throughout the smoke. This cigar is best smoked slowly and steadily, as there is a strong leathery flavor when it is smoked quickly. Other flavors come as the cigar continues to burn, and this includes notes of cedar and black licorice.

Tatuaje Verocu cigars are part of the Havana VI range. Produced in Nicaragua at the My Father factory, each cigar is made carefully under the supervision of Pepin Garcia The Verocu cigars should be noted for their exemplary construction and complex flavors. The Tatuaje Verocu # 5 is an excellent choice for a 40-45 minute smoke. The Tatuaje Verocu # 5 is offered by Cuenca Cigars in boxes of 50. Keep an eye out for the Tatuaje # 1, # 2, # 3, # 4 and # 9. All Tatuaje Verocu Havana VI is now available at Cuenca Cigars.

My Father Cigar company has recently announced the five sizes that La Antiguedad to be released. They are available worldwide now and also in our store. The brand is compound of 5 box-pressed sizes. The cigar is medium to full body with a beautiful Ecuadoran wrapper; and a lot of complexity.

Toro 5 5/8 x 55,
Corona Grande 6 3/8 x 47,
Super Toro 7 x 56,
Toro Gordo 6 x 60.

The decision to use box-pressed vitolas was made with the help of the company’s sales force. “While we were in Nicaragua for our annual sales meeting we asked our reps their preferences, we were all agreed on the box pressed style,” Garcia noted.

All of the leaves except for the wrapper comes from the My Father farms, with the filler coming from three different farms in the San Rafael, Las Quebradas and San Jose regions of Nicaragua, and all of which underwent a curing process of at least three and a half years. Two leaves form the binder, one Nicaraguan Criollo and the other Nicaraguan Corojo, both from My Father. The Ecuadoran Habano wrapper is the only leaf not grown by the company.

The cigars are packaged in beautiful chests including the same artwork from the original brand. The name translates as “The Antiquity”.
