Sentinels of Freedom provides tuition assistance as well as providing housing to severely wounded veterans and their family’s. He was our first Sentinel in the Arizona chapter. He had successfully attained all his credits for his BS degree and been hired by General Dynamics. Sadly, he died do to complications from re-constructive surgery. Ryan’s wife was three months pregnant when he passed. Ryan was a great american, a true hero, faithful husband, terrific human being and would have been a fantastic father.

The Toro version of The Sentinel-Little Havana Series cigar will debut at this years IPCPR in Orlando. Proceeds will go to the Sentinels of Freedom Scholarship Foundation. The LHS line honoring vetran Ryan Job has a limited production of 10,000 sticks in each size. Cigars will be available in boxes of ten and twenty.

CAIN Daytona Lancero – Studio Tobac

When the Cain Daytona line first came out, I was in no hurry to try one. I didn’t much care for the other Cains. Just couldn’t find one that fit my tastes. But then I heard the Daytona was a less powerful, and more flavorful Cain. So I figured, why not try one. I bought a corona first and liked it. Then a robusto, eh… not too crazy about it. So I went back to a smaller ring gauge and went with the No 4. I liked it just like the corona, so the smaller ring gauge seemed to work well for me.
When I saw the Cain Daytona was in the 2011 Studio Tobac sampler box I was really looking forward to trying it. I had got two boxes (and two samplers), but never smoked the Daytona Lancero. A few weeks or so ago, The Cigar Shop Biloxi manager (Craig C.) gifted me a Daytona Lancero. He knew I really liked the small RG Daytonas and that I was a lancero man. So I thought, this must mean its time to try the Studio Tobac Cain Daytona Lancero.

Elogio Habano Edicion Limitada Salomon

Several months back, Armando Ortiz, owner of Crescent City Cigars in New Orleans, told me about an exciting new cigar line he had started carrying.  He was amazed by the quality of the cigars and the great flavor.  That new cigar line is Elogio Cigars.  I had heard a little bit about them before Armando told me about them, but I knew relatively nothing about them.  They have two lines:  LSV and Habano.  Just recently, they extended this to included an edicion limitada version of both.  For this review, I had my friend Roger help me out as we both purchased the salomon version of this cigar to smoke while we were at the shop last time.  I couldn’t find out the blend information because Elogio is keeping that secret, but Armando did tell me later that the blend is different from the regular LSV and Habano lines, but with the same wrapper.  The cigar smoked great and, even with the different blend, I did pick up some of the same flavors from the regular Habano line.  This salomon smoked relatively fast as it took us about 1 hour and 20 minutes to smoke it.  Check out the video for the full review.

Press Release: Miami Cigar Announces the Release of Añoranzas Line of Cigars

What is Añoranza? The newest cigar from Miami Cigar & Company will have many wondering how to pronounce it (Ahn-yor-ahn-za) and what does it mean? The word which is Spanish, means nostalgia; a sense of yearning. Often when we smoke, we reflect on times gone by and look back to a period of our lives we miss and wish we could go back to. This is Añoranza.

The cigars which are made in Nicaragua feature a Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro wrapper, with Nicaraguan grown binder and fillers. They will be available in both 10 count and 20 count boxes in the following sizes.

• Robusto ($6.50 MSRP)
• Toro ($7.50 MSRP)
• Belicoso ($7.80 MSRP)
• Gran Toro ($8.50 MSRP)

The cigars which come in a soft box pressed format will debut at IPCPR in Orlando in 2012.

Añoranzas
Old World Values, New World Traditions.
