Proto Type Cigar on Sale

Well after many good reviews and tastings on Cigar Pass I decided to sell a 5 pack of the proto type cigars for $15.00 . These cigars are made in a small factory in Honduras but the cigars are all Nicaraguan Tobacco. The wrapper is a Nicaraguan Habano and the binder and filler is Nicaraguan so a Nicaraguan Puro for $3.00 a pop. We are in the process of finishing bands and maybe boxes ( I say maybe because depending on pricing we may just leave them in bundles). This cigar was created to be a great long filler premium cigar that can be smoked everyday and not break the bank.

Illusione Coffee was also released with rave reviews and the artwork has a lot of people talking. The printing process is the same that we used on the Tatuaje Coffee bags but the Illusione bags sport a metallic silver foil bag with gloss black printing. The crested eagle Illusione logo really pops and makes the overall packaging very nice. The concept for this coffee was similar to the Tatuaje Coffee, we paired Illusione Cigars to coffee. This time we decided to only use Single Origin, Fair Trade sourced beans. We are using the same local roaster and are roasting the beans to order to provide only the freshest coffee available. The Illusione Coffee comes in a Nicaraguan Segovia Medium Roast, Sumatra Gayoland Dark Roast, and a Ethiopian Yirgacheffee Light Roast. We are still working on www.illusioncoffee.com but you can order now from www.silocigars.com .

We should be getting Tatuaje Black Label cigars/jars this week or next and before you ask NO we are not taking pre-orders or holding anything lol. No retailer really knows how many they are going to get due to the limited production. Only 1,000 jars with 19 cigars per jar were made so that limits the number per retailer. Hell at this point I don't know if we will get enough for me to keep one lol ( I may have to just keep one anyway). Since I collect cigar jars it will be very difficult for me not to keep one.

Ok I am sure I have left a ton of stuff out and may not of made any sense in some sentences but I tend to just type and post. Sorry

Illusione Coffee and the Holy Lance

Well the new coffee project has launched, Illusione Coffee is now available. Fresh roasted coffee the day you order it, available in 3 single origin Fair Trade sourced beans. A Nicaraguan , Ethiopian and a Sumatra. A mild, medium and full body roast compliments the Illusione Cigars very well. We have been drinking a lot of the coffee while smoking different sizes of Illusione cigars just to make sure everything was right.

We are also pleased to announce that the new Lancero Illusione cigar should be hitting the shelves next week. We are taking box pre-orders on the site right now so if you want to be one of the first on your block smoking the Holy Lance you best purchase them now.
