NHL Enforcers Signed Print Raffle
The deadline to buy tickets for this draw is approaching. The draw will be held around the 15th in order to allow the winner to receive the print before Christmas. And this ensures that the proceeds will be passed over to St. Vincent’s Kitchen in time for them to use the money over the holidays. We are raffling off a very unique item: “Tough Love”, by Murray Henderson. This print depicts Paul Stewart*, NHL Referee on the ice with a benchload of malcontents. Conn Smythe and Don Cherry* are behind the bench with 12 of the scrappiest players ever to put on NHL jerseys: Eddy Shore, Ted Lindsay*, John Ferguson*, Terry O’Reilly*, Dave Shultz*, Tiger Williams, Dave Semenko*, Tim Hunter*, Wendel Clark, Tony Twist, Bob Probert* and Tie Domi. This limited edition print is signed by nine of the people portrayed plus artist Murray Henderson, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The size is 24×30 inches (image 18×24 inches). Those whose signatures appear on the print are denoted by an asterisk. Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $10.
All money raised by this raffle will be donated to Durham Outlook for the Needy’s St. Vincent’s Kitchen in Oshawa. Durham Outlook for the Needy is a non-profit organization started in October 1990 by a group of dedicated Oshawa residents, striving to help those in need in the Durham Region, under the patronage and example of St. Vincent Pallotti (1795 to 1850). With the help of 861 volunteers from 46 churches, numerous organizations and individuals it offers low-cost daily meals in a dignified manner.

Cigar of the Week: La Aurora 107 Robusto
Since 1903 the folks at La Aurora have been crafting Dominican cigars. The La Aurora 107 was launched in 2010 to celebrate 107 years of cigar production. This medium to full-bodied blend is made with a Sun Grown wrapper from Ecuador, six-year-old fillers (Brazilian, Nicaragua and Peruvian) and a binder from the Dominican Republic. La Aurora 107 Robusto (5 x 54) provides a rich and complex smoke.
The genesis of the brand began in a modest place, on the outskirts of Santiago de los Caballeros, where Don Eduardo implemented his own technique for rolling cigars, one which has prevailed over time. Later, in 1912, at the suggestion of his brother Herminio, the factory was moved to the flourishing city of Santiago (and has continued expanding to the present day). Years later, Don Eduardo’s sisters, Maria Mercedes and Trinidad, joined the company, which was incorporated as E. Leon Jimenes Inc., producers of La Aurora cigars.
After the death of Don Eduardo, his brother Herminio took control of the company for 14 years. Sons of the founders continued the vision: to offer a world class cigar. Their prowess was recognized by the giants of the industry and in 1963 they formed an alliance with tobacco giant Phillip Morris; thus began their international expansion.
The Leon family tradition was passed down to its third generation with Don Guillermo Leon, Don Fernando’s son. Like his ancestors he has maintained the standard of the factory, bringing the excellent quality of Dominican cigars to the four corners of the world, with the Aurora and Leon Jimenes brands.
The cigar is well constructed and has a definite chocolate aroma. The ash is tight and the smoking experience exceeds expectations. This cigar is a personal favourite of the owners of Victory Cigars and you can believe us when we tell you that La Aurora 107 is a robusto that is well worth trying.
Flavour Ranking: Medium to Full-Bodied The feature price on this robusto is $9.99.
Cigar of the Month December 2012: Montana Azul Nicaraguan Panatela Bundle
These Nicaraguan panatelas are affectionately known as “dog walkers” by many of our clients. The panatelas are 4.5” long with a 30 ring gauge (about the diameter of a thick pencil), making them a quick smoke. This is helpful for those days when you want to enjoy a cigar but find that the weather is not cooperating. These panatelas can be finished in the time it takes you to walk your best friend, hence the nickname. The tobacco is all-Nicaraguan and each stick is finished with a nice maduro wrapper. The flavour profile is medium. Due to popular demand we are holding this bundle of Panatelas over as the Cigar of the Month for December. The feature price for the bundle of 25 panatelas is $29.99 for the month of November.
