I'll preface this by admitting full well that I don't generally enjoy larger RG cigars, and typically smoke 46RG and below. That being said, this cigar blew my mind. I've always had fondness for the Neanderthal line, and with this cigar, I think Skip and Mike finally distilled their goal into the perfect package. It's squat and buff, in your face and unrelenting, and yet you keep wanting to come back for more. My total smoke time was 1 hour 55 minutes, but with a nubbing tool I could have squeezed another 10-15 minutes out of it; very impressive for such a short cigar. If you're a fan of strong cigars with a complex variety of flavors, regardless of vitola preference, I recommend you get your hands on one of these as soon as you can.
Cabañas, the oldest Cuban cigar brand, is being reintroduced by JR Cigar with the help of industry legends Jaime and Pepin Garcia.
Jas Sum Kral announced today a 2020 Summer release exclusive to the country of Sweden: Sota Kakor. Sota Kakor translates to "Sweet Cookies" in Swedish. The graphic used on the boxes and bands use "kurbits" which is a traditional artwork from a part of Sweden called "Dalarna". Also found in the artwork are horses called "Dalahorses" which are traditional carved, painted wooden statues horses originating in the Swedish province of Dalarna (Dalecarlia).
This week, Gurkha Cigars started shipping the Nicaragua Series to retailers. The Gurkha Nicaragua Series made it's debut at IPCPR 2019 and sees only the shelves of Gurkha's top retailers. Gurkha placed a maximum of 5 boxes per size, per retailer on the launch.
Riste Ristevski has announced the return of the The Jas Sum Kral Zlatno Sonce. Only 100 boxes have been made in only one vitola, a 6.5x42 box press. The blend uses a Butterscotch Ecuadorian Connecticut Wrapper, undisclosed binder, corojo and undisclosed filler.
"I'd love to smoke this again. The flavors were crisp and clean with a nice progression throughout. The smoke output was great after a few re-cuts; but I'm not sure I would have discovered that if not for the massive tar build up. " -Alan (Eulogy)
Earlier this year, Crux Cigars announced a total rebrand for their company including new logos, boxes and bands for all their cigars. Crux showed these off at the IPCPR 2019 trade show in Las Vegas. The first phase of this rebrand includes Epicure, Epicure Maduro, and Guild blends in all their viotlas. This first phase is the portion shipping now. Phase 2 will include Limitada and the Bull & Bear and will take place later in the year.
Warped Cigars announced today, a collaboration with Cornell & Diehl Pipe Tobacco called 'The Haunting'. Kyle Gellis, President of Warped Cigars, and Jeremy Reeves, Head Blender of Cornell & Diehl, worked for several months on the project to bring the blending process of warped cigars to the pipe tobacco world.
"Fantastic smoke. Not as full bodied as I typically prefer, but a really impressive medium bodied experience. Great core flavors of nuts and spice along with blasts of sweetness and floral qualities throughout. Not exactly massive transitions, but there were some nice points of interest along the way.
Really exceptional construction as well. The craftsmanship definitely added to the experience. " -John I. (John I.)
