Top Cigar of the Year

Wow is all I can say to the response of the Casa Magna Robusto being the Number 1 cigar by Cigar Aficionado. We have had this cigar on our shelves since October (original release date) and we knew it was special. I can't tell you the number of people/customers we have recommended this cigar to in our store. The profile of this cigar is perfect for everyone, medium to full flavor and the price here is only $5.30 per cigar (for the robusto). I honestly believe that this is one of the best values on the market today, outside of Padron and Fuente where else can you get a great cigar for under $6.00 and most everyone agrees this line of cigars are special. I also think the corona and other sizes will rate really high in upcoming Cigar Aficionado reviews. Time will tell if this brand has staying power, but I will say that I will always have a box or 2 in my humidor.

Congrats to the people behind Casa Magna Cigars, job well done.

New Arrivals and Such

Today I got the web orders finished early so I decided to sit down and smoke some new stuff that just came in. First off I haven't told anyone yet except Andre (owner of Viaje) but the cigars on the site for the Oro are actually the new blend and rolled in the same factory as the Platino. By the way the new Oro blend is spectacular in my opinion.

Anyway I smoked a ton of cigars today, I started with the Pinar del Rio Clasico Double Corona then went straight to the new Pinar del Rio Sungrown Lancero. Let me tell you the Pinar del Rio Sungrown smokes are quickly becoming one of my go to cigars on a daily basis. I also smoked a Rocky Patel Decade Lonsdale which I believe is the best cigar he makes. So to finish my day I fired up the new Vengeance Cigars which is from the guys at Kristoff. The Vengeance is now brand new, new blend and packaging. Very good and a full body smoke.

After finishing the cigars I decided to actually get up off my arse and get some work done. So I scooped up a bunch of stuff to add to our website which is not currently displayed. Everything from swag to smokes will be on there soon so just hold on.

Did I mention that we have Devil's Weed bundles at like stupid low prices? hell I think they start at like $2.35 a cigar and go up to $3.00 when you buy the bundle. Ok well that is enough blogging for me tonight I just wanted to touch base and let everyone know what is going on with us.

Oh and Happy New Year!!!!
