Last years collaboration between Cigar Dojo and Aganorsa Leaf, Bonsai, has a pre-release during the Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival festivities. It launched nationwide shortly after through online retailer Payless Cigars & Pipes, which is run by Smoker Friendly, the same company that runs the festival. This was one of Cigar Dojo's most successful and fastest-selling collaborations to date. Now, Bonsai is returning to Smoker Friendly, and their online store paylesscigarsandpipes.com as a limited, but ongoing release.
Cigar Info Nicaragua has a rich and complex history. I remember growing up in the USA and frequently hearing about...
Drew Estate is launching a new cigar exclusive to JR Cigars: NightShade. NightShade is rolled in Nicaragua at the La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate, NightShade and the blend uses a Connecticut Habano wrapper, Indonesian binder, and filler from Nicaragua and Dominican Republic.
"This was a nice smooth/mild smoke that I could see reach for some more in my local B&M. It would be a great cigar to pair with coffee or as your first smoke of the day......it could even be a dessert smoke if you wanted." -Mickey T. (irratebass)

·"This is a damn good cigar. It was slightly milder than I typically prefer but the interesting mix of flavors kept my attention and didn't leave me wanting more. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes a cigar that is just south of medium strength and would also have no issues handing one to my friends who seldom smoke. This one is worthy of smoking to the nub and is worthy of a place in my humidor." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)
'Juarez' is a followup to the 2014 cigar 'Jericho Hill'. That cigar was inspired by the Johnny Cash song 'Cocaine Blues'. This Thompson Cigar exclusive has a Mexican San Andres wrapper like the Jericho hill, but that is where the similarity ends. It uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and filler from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. It will come in 20 count boxes in three vitolas: 4 3/4 x 52, 6 x 54, and 5 x 56 all parejo shape. The price ranges from $5.95-$7.95.
"Overall this was a good cigar. That's about it....it was good. There were hints of cream, sweetness, orange?? Cotton candy?? Cedar, wood and coffee....I kind of wished the weird flavors of cotton candy and orange stayed around longer so I don't feel like it was my imagination. " -Mickey T. (irratebass)
"This was a good cigar, with lots of heavy cream notes, but there weren't any other flavors to keep my attention, It burned, and smoked great. Might be a good cigar in the morning with a cup of java." -Mickey T. (irratebass)
This years marks the 5th anniversary of Black Label Trading Company's Morphine release. This year, one vitola, the lancero, will feature a barber pole style with two wrappers one Ecuador Maduro and One San Andres.
"The flavor transition was fantastic. Peppery, sweet and toasted... all my favorites. I will definitely be buying more of these after the reveal. Very good cigar and I could see myself enjoying these at any time of the day. Each pull left me wanting to immediately take another. Had to pace myself a bit." -Adam B. (Bushboy)
