After visiting more than 10 booths, Cornelius & Anthony was easily the busiest, with so many people at some points I had a hard time moving around.

The company had announced two new lines before the show, both of which are only available to retailers at the IPCPR show.

Cornelius & Anthony The Gent

Described as “more medium-bodied”, The Gent is the first new line and is made up of four different vitolas, all of which are over 46 ring gauge.

  • Wrapper: Ecuador (Rosado)
  • Binder: U.S.A.
  • Filler: Honduras & Nicaragua
  • Cornelius & Anthony The Gent Corona Gorda (5 1/2 x 46) — $7.95 (Boxes of 20, $159)
  • Cornelius & Anthony The Gent Gordo (6 x 60) — $9.75 (Boxes of 20, $195)
  • Cornelius & Anthony The Gent Robusto (5  x 52) — $8.50 (Boxes of 20, $170)

Cornelius & Anthony The Mistress

Meant to be a blend released in conjunction with The Gent while being almost totally opposite in terms of profile, the Mistress is being billed as a “knock your socks off” cigar that is not for the faint of heart.

I have been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
