Bourbon on Bourbon Street (and a Cigar too!)

Here is a photo from a trip to New Orleans
to visit my buddy Chris (Right), Al (Left)
and myself in the middle. Nothing better than kicking back with a good stogie and some Bourbon! One of a few places where you can still go anywhere with a cigar. Keep the selections coming, the tube showing up in my mailbox always puts a smile on my face!

Featured Cigars

Cohiba Maduro Box Pressed Torpedo

Considered the pinnacle of Cuban cigars, Cohiba is now also rolled in the Dominican Republic. The Cuban version was initially developed as a medium-bodied protocol cigar for presentation only by officials of the Cuban government. While the Cuban and Dominican versions are certainly different (aside from the obvious fact that one is legal and the other is not!), any lover of the leaf will enjoy both. A medium-bodied cigar with a nice dark wrapper. A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll, um, rather a little bit spicy, a little bit sweet. This exquisite smoke offers a medium-to-full-bodied flavor and a strong, smooth, and incredibly rich character. Try it with a chocolate stout or your favorite cup of coffee.

 

Estavan Cruz Maduro Robusto

Estavan Cruz is a premium hand made cigar manufactured in the Dominican Republic. This Maduro Robusto consists of a Con-necticut Broadleaf wrapper, Ecuadorian binder, and long filler blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Brazilian tobaccos. It has a nice draw, with notes of espresso, wood and bitter chocolate. There is almost a tarry element on the palate, but there are also dark roasted cocoa bean flavors. Great color and shine on this little fireplug of a cigar. It draws and burns well with earthy notes, hints of bitter chocolate and a spicy finish. We'd recommend pairing it with your favorite Cabernet Sauvignon or dry stout.

Free Cuba Toro

The Free Cuba cigar line is made in the Dominican Republic by Jochy Blanco. And the Toro featured this month happens to be a very popular smoke in their line up. Note a handsome cigar, wrapped in a medium-brown, oily Connecticut Windsor shade wrapper. It offers a long-filler combination of Habano seed and Dominican Piloto Cubano long filler. We found it to be a medium-to-full-bodied smoke with hints of cocoa and sweet spice flavors on the palate with a sweet wood finish. A smoked porter or full-bodied Merlot would be the perfect match.

La Perla Habana Maduro Toro

La Perla Habana is one of the most coveted labels in cigar historyAnd one of our fav-orite brands to feature as we know you'll love it too! Two of the industry's most respected entrepreneurs took it upon themselves to recreate this well-known Cuban brand in
the Dominican Republic. Sergio Cuevas and Doug Wood have created a cigar in which commitment, quality, and flavor are the sole concerns. Using closely guarded techniques to age and blend the tobac-cos, these men have produced a cigar that is worthy of the name, the Pearl of Habana. Note a sweet woodiness with perhaps some hints of pepper. A fairly complex flavor profile.It certainly picked up body as you got into the smoke. Consider pairing it with a well-aged Cabernet.

Morro Castle Churchill

Morro Castle is the famous fort at the en-trance to the harbor of Havana, a landmark erected in 1859 by Spaniards to act as a beacon for friendly ships and to guard against buccaneers. Once made by the now defunct Caribbean Cigar Co, this brand is now manufactured by the same craftsmen responsible for the Camacho and Bac-carat brands. The Churchill featured this month is handmade from extensively aged tobaccos,
which combine a silky Habano seed Jama-stran wrapper and long leaf Honduran fillers. Look for a mild-to-medium body with a distinct leathery flavor. This extremely satis-fying smoke ends slightly spicy. Consider pairing this one with a hoppy India Pale Ale or your choice of a full-bodied bourbon.
