The La Aurora Preferidos Maduro Lancero up for review traces its roots back to a similar cigar made for W. Curtis Draper’s 123rd anniversary back in May 2010. That cigar caught the attention of David Mogilner, vice-president of Racine & Laramie in San Diego, who wanted to have some made for his store. According to [...]

Last year, I said, “too much.” This year? It was much of the same. There were a lot of products, although this year was noticeably heavier on the Miami Cigar & Co. side of things. The caveat is—much like Rocky Patel—most of these lines were either extensions to series or limited editions. In the end, [...]

There are more? Miami Cigar & Co. and La Aurora have already shed light on a host of new releases for the IPCPR show, but there are more. (By my count, MCC/La Aurora and Perdomo are currently leading the arbitrary competition for most new releases at the 2011 IPCPR, but that’s besides the point.) The [...]

Busy week, slow week, busy week, slow week. Or at least that’s how I’d like to think of it. The reality is the weeks keep getting busier as we now sit (less than) three weeks out from the IPCPR trade show in Las Vegas. Companies are beginning to announce the last of their show plans, [...]

Editor’s Note: Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of TheCigarFeed. While I’ve already reflected on one year and the future, I guess I’ll reflect on this time last year. We are now about one month away from IPCPR and things are in full swing. Press releases, samples and rumors are already flying around the cigar world. [...]

What? You didn’t see this coming. Every other La Aurora Lancero has had its chance, so it was only right that the Cameroon wrapped Lancero had its turn. It’s one of the cigars that has been important in the development as me as a smoker, as this line was one of the first that I [...]
