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.

Viaje Cigars and a New Section on the site

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the delay between posts, we have been really busy looking for a new location for the store. We have found a spot that we think will be great for everything we want to do, once all the negotiations are finished we will post an address.

We have posted some new cigars that we believe are worth mentioning and trying, First off the new Cabaiguan Guapo sizes. Man these are great cigars a Junior size, Corona Extra and a Robusto Extra all in the Guapo blend. We are sold out of the Junior's right now but do expect more in soon.

Also, the Viaje cigars are in stock and ready to ship. One of my new favorite smokes and a Nicaraguan Puro only 40,000 cigars of the Oro blend are made per year. This is truly a boutique cigar and deserves some attention.

Silo Spotlight is a new section where we do a little interview with the cigar brand owner and feature their brand. This month it is Andre with Viaje Cigars, we asked a few questions and got some honest answers so check it out..

We will also be announcing another major coffee deal in the next week, we are just waiting on the bags to be printed and I have to say they look freaking PIMP :). Details will follow soon.

Cigar and Coffee News

Hello everyone,

Where to start, well lets see we got in a few bundles of the Padilla Signature 1932 cigar in churchill and Torpedo sizes and a couple of boxes of the Perla small perfectos. I hope Ernesto and his crew get cranking on that factory and start rolling cigars soon because I really do like his cigars and I am about out of product to sell and smoke :)

Also big news on the coffee front, another contract is signed and the first initial art work is approved so stay tuned for another HUGE coffee announcement. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag yet but the next coffee will be 3 different single origin beans paired with another cigar. A ton of people are raving about the Tatuaje Coffee we did and so we wanted to expand our portfolio with other cigar companies. We also wanted to do something a little different because all the Tatuaje Coffees are blended (except the White Label) to get that smooth yet deep and rich flavor.

On a side note if you are a retailer and you want to carry Tatuaje Coffee we now offer wholesale accounts and are taking orders. Also welcome aboard Tobacco Road Fine Cigars & Gifts, they are a official Tatuaje Coffee Retailer and offer the coffee in store by the pound or cup. So if you find yourself in Arlington Texas stop by and have a cup of coffee with Jim.

Some New Cigars

Well we shipped a ton of Illusione cigars today to everyone that took advantage of the pre order postings on the forums. I honestly have never received that many of a single brand of cigar before ( well except for when I did the Maravilla cigars, but they came in 2 or 3 shipments). I may post some cigar porn pictures of our Illusione order sometime in the near future lol. We will be adding some new sizes in singles on the site to fill out our Illusione section. Anyway on to the new stuff.

In case you missed it, on our website we recently got in 2 new brands, 3 Siglos from Gran Habano and Kristoff Maduro and Corojo. All of these cigars are excellent and I keep going back to the 3 Siglo and the Kristoff Maduro EVERYDAY, they both are very tasty and priced right. We do have singles and boxes of Gran Habano and Kristoff on the site now for purchase. We are working on bringing even more new cigars in the next couple of weeks and they should be very popular with our customers.

Also I will be announcing another huge project that is upcoming that is a Silo Cigars exclusive and will have all others wondering why they don't roll like Silo.

New Cigars and a Discount Coupon

Hey Guys,

Just a little update mid week style (cause that's how I roll) we just got in the Gran Habano 3 Siglo cigars which I think are fantastic. You can check them out on our website in singles or boxes 3 Siglo Cigars

Also the Tatuaje Coffee has been rolling along very well and we have gotten some great feedback, the sampler pack has really been a hot item. If you have not tried it you are missing the freshest roasted coffee on the planet.

Check the cigar boards for our discount coupon and be sure to use it, the coupon is for 10% off any $50.00 purchase or more. A good amount of people have taken advantage of the coupon and ordered a good selection of smokes and accessories.

We have a huge Illusione order coming in next week and should be able to supply the east coast with the most popular sizes lol.

So a ton of people have been asking me lately about my eye so I thought I would give a update, I hope to get the last 4 stitches out tomorrow. The stitches are bugging the hell out of me and I feel them on my eye all the time now. So after they are out and the doc says it is ok I will be firing up a special cigar a BOTL sent me (thanks Hollan). So after 3 operations and 20 stitches (on my eye) I am ready for this to be over.

Thanks

Crazy Coffee Week

Well we launched Tatuaje Coffee this week and all I can say is WOW, what a response. I have never had so many instant messages and questions about a product in my life. The concept seemed so easy, yet it turned out to be pretty brutal. Having super fresh roasted coffee available on demand is difficult but we managed to do it. All of our initial orders have been shipped and we are starting to get feedback about the Tatuaje Coffee. So far everything is flowing great and we are going in the morning to take pictures of the Antique German Roaster and we will take some shots of some of the beans being roasted. We will be smoking some more Tatuaje Cigars and drinking more coffee for future ideas to expand the coffee brand. I actually have another idea that I would like to get going involving the coffee brand but I still have kinks to work out before I let the cat out of the bag.

I hope everyone likes the coffee and the coffee bags because a lot of love and care was put in to preserving the high standards that Pete has for Tatuaje. So next week we will be doing some Tatuaje Coffee and Tatuaje Cigar combos with some special pricing. We did get a 1/2 pound sampler put on the site today and already started shipping a few of those.

Next phase will be launching the wholesale division, yep that is right if you have a retail store and want to sell Tatuaje Coffee contact me now. We will be limiting the number of retailers and are currently developing a sku for the initial orders.

Thanks for all the support guys
