Here’s another list of some upcoming new releases!
Dunhill 100th Anniversary Edition – similiar to the Signed Range. More info here.
Don Pepin Garicia Tobacos Baez – in addition to the new “My Father” line, Tobacos Baez will be a slight departure for Garcia as this blend uses a Connecticut wrapper (may be similiar to the Cabaiguan?).

From General: Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Legend this is full-bodied, using the same Broadleaf wrapper as the Excalibur 1066 series (review from CigarCyclopedia); Le [...]

The Nub is another new and very popular cigar made by Oliva, and is available at Capital City Cigars. It is available in Cameroon, Connecticut Shade, and Habano wrappers.

: 5 2/3″ x 58
Vitola: Perfecto
Wrapper: Cameroon

I was sent this from a buddy up North, but the two new Cusanos will be available at my favorite store in the world, Capital City Cigars, sometime soon.
After I had enjoyed the new Sun Grown so much, I was really excited about the Rare Cameroon as [...]

Size: 5 ½ ” x 52
Vitola: Torpedo
Wrapper: Dominican Rosado
Origin: Dominican Republic
Normally I bash these, but this one has been sitting around for a while, and it did impress me.

Just read of yet another new release from Don Pepin Garcia. It will be called “My Father” and will feature a wrapper grown by the Olivas and tobacco grown by Pepin for himself. Of course it will be full-bodied.
Plus I have heard that Davidoff will be making their first maduro for the Davidoff brand. This [...]

: 5″ x 50
Vitola: Robusto
Wrapper: Dominican
Origin: Dominican Republic
Hal & Co. at Capital City Cigars got these in and I had heard they have been aged 5 years in Rum barrels, so I HAD to pick one up and smoke right away.
I smelled the cigar, through the foot (the proper way to do it), and I [...]

Size: 7″ x 48
Vitola: Churchill
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
Origin: Dominican Republic
I found a few of these in the bottom of the humidor. They did not have a date label on them and I am working off of my memory when I say they are from 2000 or so…
This cigar is definitely mild, it has a good [...]

Size: 6″ x 56
Vitola: Toro
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sun Grown
Origin: Dominican Republic
I picked this up at Capital City Cigars when Ashton first debuted this new size in the VSG line and the first one I had was pretty unexciting. So the other I put away for a while. Here’s my review:
I punched the cigar and the pre-light [...]
