Unfortunately we’re at the end of the road for these amazing cigars. The second limited release from the Crown Series, these cigars smoke with amazing richness and finesse due to the aged tobaccos from four different countries, as well as the additional age these cigars have experienced since they’re launch this summer. Available in two formats, the Chubby Especial changes dramatically start to finish and the perfecto shape grows in ring gauge with each puff. The Barrel is dramatically fuller bodied with much more filler burning in the 60 ring gauge cigar from the very first draw. Both are wonderfully cool smokes.

The Alec Bradley Tempus line has been a hit since its launch about a year ago. It even earned a spot in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 cigars of 2008. It’s manufactured in a small factory in Honduras and uses Honduran tobacco as well as Nicaraguan and Indonesian. It’s wonderfully full bodied and rich, best with a full stomach. While all the formats smoke great, the Magistri is a limited edition perfecto that won’t be around for long!

Bahamas Boutique cigar brand (and fabulous resort) Graycliff is now available in more blends and sizes on our website. While we still have to get more online (we have more available in our stores, so please call) the Chateau Grand Cru series in now available. They’re really great. Using tobaccos from Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua and Ecuador, they’re medium bodied, wonderfully rich with great complexity and a Cubanesque edge to them.

I think this brand speaks for itself. It’s been a favorite for cigar enthusiasts for years. The Nicaraguan Puros are offered in several different ranges. The classic Padron Series is a very affordable line of smokes available in Natural and Maduro wrappers using tobacco that is aged for at least 2 ½ years. The 1964 Anniversary Series was created in 1994 to commemorate the company’s 30th anniversary. Still available in limited quantities, the box-pressed cigars use Nicaraguan tobaccos in both Natural and Maduro wrappers. The 1926 Serie line was created to commemorate the Padron family’s patriarch Jose Orlando Padron’s 75th Birthday in 2002. All the tobaccos in the 1926 Series are at least 5 years old. Within this series is the 40th Anniversary torpedo in Natural and Maduro as well as the 80th Years cigar in Natural and Maduro.

6:00pm-10:00pm

Carnegie Club (56th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues)
Fifth Annual Michael Herklots Birthday Party Fundraiser

This year’s birthday bash and fundraiser is less than a week away, and it’s going to be better than ever!!! There will be plenty of cigars to smoke, amazing raffle prizes and an incredible auction!!! Last year we raised over $30,000 and we’re looking to raise way more than that! Please join me for a wonderful night of smoking fine cigars with great friends, and raise money for a truly special cause! ALL proceeds go to the Killingly High School “Learning for Life Fund” (my alma mater located in Danielson, CT). The "Learning for Life Fund" helps supplement and finance programs that can’t be covered by the minimal public education budget ensuring that Killingly High School students are fully prepared to embark on the next step after High School, whether a trade or further education.
