IPCPR 2017: Potter Cigars

I hadn’t heard of Potter Cigars before, but brand owner David Potter was there to greet me and tell me about the new things they had available.

The bright yellows of the booth matched the yellow lacquer of some of the boxes, tying the booth and product together nicely.

Potter Maduro
The Maduro comes in two sizes – the Toro and the Gigante.

  • Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés
  • Binder: Dominican Republic
  • Filler: Dominican Republic & Nicaragua
  • Potter Maduro Gigante (5 3/4 x 56) — $7.50 (Boxes of 10, $75; Boxes of 20, $150)
  • Potter Maduro Toro (6 x 52) — $7.50 (Boxes of 11, $82.50; Boxes of 20, $150)

Potter Habano
The Habano also comes in the same two sizes, though the prices is slightly different.

  • Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
  • Binder: Dominican Republic
  • Filler: Dominican Republic & Nicaragua
  • Potter Habano Gigante (5 3/4 x 56) — $7.50 (Boxes of 10, $75; Boxes of 20, $150)

The Reves is a great looking cigar, with a contrasting Habano wrapper around the head and the foot, housed in lacquered yellow and green boxes.

  • Reves Habano (5 1/2 x 58/52) — $9 (Boxes of 10, $90)

Lastly is a regular production lancero – not exactly what you would expect out of a new company, but welcome nonetheless.

I have been smoking cigars since 2005 and reviewing them as a hobby since 2010. Initially, I started out small with a 50-count humidor and only smoking one or two cigars a month. Not knowing anybody else that smoked cigars, it was only an occasional hobby that I took part in. In March of 2010, I joined Nublive and Cigar Asylum, connecting me with many people who also shared an interest in cigars. Reading what they had to say about brands I had never heard of, I quickly immersed myself in the boutique brands of the industry and it was then that cigars transformed from a hobby into a passion.
