Worth Mentioning Our fall calendar of events is looking awesome! Cuban roller demonstrations, pipe nights, cigar events and accessories sales are being discussed and scheduled. Details will be posted on the events page of our website as things are finalized.
Speaking of events, we’d like to say “Thanks” to all who attended last Wednesday’s pipe event, hosted by the always enchanting Penelope. More than fifty people came for a night of food, swag and good conversation. Attendees who enjoyed the Cambridge English blend will be happy to know it is available in our bulk section. We’ll do this again soon!
September Classic Nine and Dine Announcing a fall golf event at Royal Ashburn! Details are being finalized but you can mark your calendars for Wednesday September 19th. On that date we’ll be playing nine holes of golf with dinner, a cart, cigars and prizes included. This event will be bigger and better than our inaugural one so plan to attend.
Cigar of the Week: The NUB Sun Grown This week’s featured cigar is a product of Studio Tobac. For over three years the Studio has conceived innovative projects like the renowned NUB cigar, a cigar which introduced a complete new format in premium handmade cigars to the industry. Considered one of the most innovative cigar concepts, NUB is a line of short, stout and well-filled smokes blended to capture the perfect essence of a cigar. These cigars are completely made by hand with densely packed long filler, allowing each stick to burn slowly while maintaining a smoking time comparable to conventional sizes ranging from robusto to presidente.
The featured cigar this week is the NUB Sun Grown 4×60, a fireplug of a cigar. Using the wrapper of choice for Cuban cigar makers, the Sun Grown has a robust, full-bodied flavour. Rolled as a NUB, the Sun Grown’s bold spice softens to create a delicious new version of the famous leaf. The NUB Sun Grown 460 is wrapped with a Habano leaf; the filler and binder are both from Nicaragua. The feature price for the NUB Sun Grown 460 is $9.99 … no, your eyes are not deceiving you.
Cigar of the Month – August 2012 This is the last week to try these fantastic Dominicans from VegaFina. They are a distinctly smooth, aromatic blend with a medium body that is considered a true connoisseur’s smoke. The cigar is available in two formats: Corona Tubos (43 x 5 ¾) and Robusto (5 x 50). The prices for these cigars are $7.91 and $7.20 respectively. We also have a special VegaFina offer: you can win a VegaFina humidor this month by completing a ballot in-store; no purchase is necessary to enter. The draw will be held at 8:00 p.m. on Friday August 31st in the store.
