Holy Grail Week

It wouldn’t be Holy Grail Week if the cigars were replaceable. Now with 17 years of aging, it’s time to light up what might be my last El Centurion Lancero.

As the name alludes to, the new cigar was created to honor Néstor Plasencia Sr.’s 75th birthday. However, instead of being sold, the cigars were sent as gifts to retailers.

The 111 part of the name refers to the combined 111 years of age of the tobacco inside each cigar. That said, you’ll probably remember this cigar for another three-digit number: 750. Yes, it’s $750 per cigar.

Habanos S.A’s Réplica de Humidor Antiguo series debuted in 2006, releasing a large-format cigar in a humidor designed to replicate a vintage one. Announced in 2017, the El Rey del Mundo Império didn’t debut until April 2019, and it’s the most recent to be released, despite four more having been announced since.

Yes, its the biggest release of the (last) year. No, it is not cheap.

Three years ago, Brooks Whittington reviewed the La Gloria Cubana 25 Aniversario Pirámides, now it’s time to look at the other cigar that came in the humidor.

A limited edition of a limited edition produced for the United Arab Emirates unexpectedly showed up in a holiday sampler.

There aren’t many Holy Grail cigar accessories, but we got our hands on one of the most legendary cigar cutters ever made.

Holy Grail Week provides the opportunity to light up a cigar created for the new millennium.

For the second Holy Grail Week in a row, it’s time to taste a limited edition cigar that was created to celebrate the year 2000.

This cigar was released in 2005 to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the original Partagás Real Fabrica de Tabacos factory.
