STUDIO TOBAC

Add this to the list of things I forgot last week… Illusione is adding a lot of Maduro. I originally was under the impression that…

Oliva’s Studio Tobac World Tour kicks off today and we might have gotten a sneak peek of the Studio Tobac Limited Edition Sampler. If you…

And cigar news… (Going to have to find a way to keep the intros interesting, which might be difficult.) This past week was dominated by…

At the end of each Monday, I wonder what cigar news we could possibly have for next week, each week we seem to deliver. It’s…

While I had mentioned the new Cain Daytona in previous massive list of press releases from Oliva, it seemed appropriate to take all of the…

On Tuesday, we broke the news regarding the discontinuation of the AVO 787. La Sirena, Miami Cigar & Co.’s newest release, is in Miami at the warehouse, should be at retailers in a few days. In other news from Miami Cigar & Co., the La Aurora Corojo will be released at the 2011 IPCPR show. For anyone that was at the show this past year, you’ll know it was one of the cigars featured at the booth, however packaging and branding concerns led to a decision to relaunch and release the cigar in July. It will feature new packaging and banding, but the cigar itself will be the same. La Aurora also announced that the 1495 BME Sumo Short Robusto will be making it’s U.S. debut. The NUb-style cigar has been in the European markets since early fall, and Miami Cigar & Co. has now decided to bring the cigar to the U.S. market. It’s 4 x 58 and should be available in a few packaging options, including boxes of five. In other large ring gauge news, the Cain F NUb is also shipping this week, the post from when we originally broke the story now has price points for the two sizes. In other Oliva/Studio Tobac news, rumor has it the Studio Tobac tour will start on el niño diablo’s birthday.

If there was ever a fun week of news… this is going to be it. It’s an eclectic bit of information. Pete Johnson confirmed what…

The following is excessive. But I’m not going to lie… this is almost necessary to make the news post tomorrow readable, as Oliva sent out six press releases in a forty-eight hour period. But, we aren’t just reposting things. Info not found in any of the press releases: a release date for the much-hearelded Cain Daytona. Oliva also confirmed my prior report on the Cain F NUb and its release in January.

Screw top ten lists… Okay, maybe not. My list will be out at some point for all four of you that care, but in the…

Apologies for the lack of reviews recently, things have been hectic, but normalcy should return this week. As a few of you know, I was…
