Cuba Aliados Miami Cigar Deal

Ok guys I have been talking to Frank and Jose at Puros Indios for about 2 weeks now trying to get a great deal hammered out for the Cuba Aliados Miami Cigars. Honestly I think it is a great cigar and is being skipped due to all the new cigars hitting the market. With only 300 cigars being made per day ( and that is a over statement in my opinion) these things are really small batch cigars. So instead of doing just a great price we wanted to kick in a bonus. So below are the details and I hope anyone that has tried and liked these will jump on the deal because it is limited to 20 boxes total.


From now until March 1st or stock on hand runs out. Purchase a box of Cuba Aliados Miami cigars from us and you will get a 10 pack of CienFuegos cigars and 20% off the box with this coupon fa2233

The 10 pack is worth around $70.00 and is also a great cigar.

Christmas coming early at Silo Cigars

Just a day after Thanksgiving and we are already gearing up for Christmas at Silo Cigars. We will have some exclusive cigars for the local market coming in next week and you should rush in to get them. Already on the shelves are a great selection of Arturo Fuente Anejo Cigars. These are reserved for our local customers and quantities are limited.

We will be getting the new Casa Magna Oscuro next week with plenty of them to go 'round. I bet this could be one of the best new cigars this year, it has a rich chocolate aroma and smokes perfect. We have also been announced as the newest La Flor Dominicana LG account. So expect to see those in the store and online next week, if you like a Dominican Puro cigar (similar to a Opus X or Mi Dominicana) you will love the LG.

Last but not least we have in stock now the New Holiday Blend from Viaje, this cigar comes in one size a 5 1/4 x 54 with a covered foot. I smoked one yesterday and it was delicious, starts out spicy and transitions into a solid full bodied cigar with a lot of cinnamon and woodsy flavors. These are only here for the holidays so if you love Viaje Cigars as much as me jump in and try one. We still have a few Toast across America Packs left and some Casa Magna Colorado's left in stock so call or stop by to take advantage. Also be sure to check the store for info on the current Happy Hour Cigars and our Sunday Specials. Oh and we may piss a few people off but we will be calling the upcoming holiday the correct name Christmas. WE WILL BE SAYING MERRY CHRISTMAS and NOT HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Sorry but that's how we roll in TN and Silo.

The Mother Load of Casa Magna Cigars

We just got in the Mother Load of Casa Magna Cigars, with 7 different sizes in stock you should not wait to come in the store or call for details. We expect the new Oscuro Casa Magna in later this week or early next week. Enjoy..

New Arrivals and some Restocking

Ok so the past couple of weeks has been crazy in the store. We have gotten in a ton of new cigars and restocked on some stuff we were out of. The list of new cigars include the following:

Gurkha Assassin
Gurkha Evil
Casa Fernandez Arsenio 2009
Cubao Maduro
El Titan Redemption Maduro
Brickhouse
Liga Privada T52
Murcielago

This Time of Year- I love the fall season

Ok if you have never been to Tennessee in the fall this is the best time to visit. The leaves are turning the high for the day is in the low 60's and nights are down around the high 40's. This is about the best time to go to your favorite pub that has a patio to eat drink and smoke. So lmk if you plan on making a trip to Knoxville and I will let you know the best places to go for whatever.

On the cigar side of things we do have a few new things in stock that are really really gooda. First off the Liga Privada T-52 are flying off the shelf, I wanted to put some singles online but it looks like our locals are loving them and they are going away quick. I am adding the entire line of Don Pepin Cigars online this week and that includes the My Father Le Bijou 1922. We also have the Gurkha Assassin in stock in the robusto and torpedo size, this has to be the best Gurkha cigar ever made and the price is around $7 or $8.00. We have a ton more new arrivals that I have not had a chance to put online so if you looking for something feel free to call 865-675-7456.

Sorry for the background noise but it was busy around his booth. Also thanks Andre for giving us an exclusive on your smokes in Knoxville!!!

Sudeste Cubano Cigars update

Well we are down to having just a few of our original release Sudeste Cigars left in stock. So in the next couple of days I am going to run some specials to spread the love on what is left. I am doing this to make room for a new addition to the line, the Sudeste Maduro Limitada. This cigar is a huge hit in our store already, it features the same binder and filler as the regular Sudeste but has a San Andres Maduro wrapper (sound familiar? it should, it is the padron anni wrapper).

Since I only have 2 sizes left of the original release Sudeste Cigars I am going to give a sample Sudeste Maduro Limitada to all that buy a box.

Here is some info about the original Sudeste Cigars....

A full year after starting this project we have finally released our very own line of cigars. All of our cigars are hand crafted in the USA (Little Havana, Miami) by “Level 9” rollers all of whom have worked for world-renowned factories such as Romeo y Julieta®, Corona®, and Partagas®. Each cigar is made in the traditional Cuban style of tubing the filler (entubado) and then finished off with a beautiful triple cap. Each “tarea” (days work) is then inspected by another Master Roller/Blender to ensure the cigar is of the highest standard for the aficionado. Due to the high standards placed upon our rollers our cigars are made in small quantities to ensure quality and consistency that only a boutique manufacturer can produce. The cigars are very rich with with noticeable spice on the tongue. With only a total of 10,000 cigars made per year this is truly a limited production cigar. Look for many reviews by customers to be posted soon.

Wrapper- Ecuadorian Sun Grown Habano
Binder-Ecuadorian
Filler- Nicaraguan


Stay tuned for more info on the Maduro Limitada.
