With our PCA 2021 Convention & Trade Show coverage shuffled around slightly this year, I am covering the Falto Cigars for the first time. I like the booth layout, and while I understand the functionality of the walled seating areas to create a quieter environment to do business, it did make photographing the whole booth in one picture a little more difficult.

In the end, it’s not really a big deal, since this show isn’t about photographs, it’s about doing business. If my brief visit is any indicator though, the Falto crew are gracious hosts, offering espresso and comfortable couches to sit down while we discussed the new releases.

Falto Edición Especial ELH Hato Viejo

The Falto Edición Especial ELH Hato Viejo is one of two 25th anniversary cigars, this time in the form of a corona gorda. While production will be limited to 100 boxes like the other two new releases, this one will be a limited edition release.

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.
