Best of IPCPR Show

We just got back from the show last night and here are some of my top favorite new cigars. These are not in any particular order:

Cuba Aliados Miami blend ( rolled in Miami)
Viaje Fifty/Fifty
Pepin My Father 1922
EP Carrillo ( Ernesto Perez new cigar)
Dions new Nosotros

I am sure I have forgotten a few but honestly there were so many great cigars that it was hard to remember them all. I am going to let my throat heal and get some taste buds back and come on strong with some reviews of the new cigars in the next few days

IPCPR Show Day 1

Well the first day was very productive for Silo and our customers :). We saw a ton of new products and plan on bringing some into the store. Sorry for the short post but blogging from a trade show with a phone is difficult. So on the cigar side of things Dions new Nosotros were awesome, Pepin has his new My Father 1922 and it was very nice and spicy. Andre from Viaje has a great new cigar called fifty/fifty the cigar was very unique in flavor and one of the best of the show so far. I did some video interviews and hope to have them up by the weekend. Oh and I did sign some Silo exclusive contracts while here, more to come so stay tuned in

Avo Cigar Tasting

On July 24th from 4-9 come in and enjoy some great deals on Avo cigars. Buy 3 get 1 Free, we will have boxes discounted and a ton of raffle merchandise and door prizes to give away.

Some new things to talk about

Ok well it has been awhile since I posted info about the store and what is going on with it so here are a few new things.

We just got in a shipment on Djarum, Nat Sherman and American Spirit cigarettes so for all you people that have asked in the past we can now say Yes we sell cigarettes.

You like cuban coffee or café cubano? good because for the last month we have been testing a machine and coffee to our regular customers. We can now announce we have the same coffee as if you walked up to a restaurant in Little Havana and ordered a cafecito. For $1.50 you get a full Colada (4-6 shots)and that includes tax, so next time you come in and have time to sit and smoke order a cafe cubano with that cigar.

Casa Magna Cigars will be in stock next week including robustos so call or stop in next week (7/21/09).

Punch Rare Corojo will be in around the same time (7/21/09) be sure to stop in and snag a few before they are gone.

Did I mention we have a really cool game in the store? I dont want to spoil it but please stop in and play or take a look.

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.
