Famous Smoke Shop Releases Perdomo Craft Series Amber With Yards Brawler Review Video
|
EASTON, PA--(Marketwired - October 14, 2015) - Famous has just released the second in a series of three cigar and beer pairing review videos featuring the highly anticipated Perdomo Craft Series Amber and Yards Brawler Puglist Style Ale in association with their digital cigar and men's lifestyle magazine Cigar Advisor. Cigar Advisor brings a fresh, irreverent, and down-to-earth perspective on all things cigars to thousands of smokers. In addition to educational cigar content and behind-the-scenes cigar industry articles from some of the business's top names, Cigar Advisor delivers an array of content about a variety of topics of interest to people who enjoy the cigar lifestyle, including pairing review videos such as this one.
Perdomo Craft Series Amber is the second in a line of three cigars that have been blended to pair specifically with a particular range of beers in mind. This cigar, also called the Perdomo Craft Series Sun Grown, is meant to pair well with beers that have malt forward notes and lighter hoppy or floral notes on the back end. Some examples of beer styles would be mild to medium bodied IPAs, heavier pale ales, Märzenbier (also known as Oktoberfest), and of course, Lagers and Ales of almost all varieties. The Amber uses all Nicaraguan tobaccos, including Cuban seed longfillers from Esteli for strength, Condega binder for some sweetness, and a spicy-sweet Jalapa sun grown wrapper for added complexity and flavor. The result is a powerhouse of a cigar that is around a medium-full bodied smoke. It's perfect for anyone who enjoys flavorful mild bodied cigars looking to try a stronger cigar with a lot of flavor, or for veteran full bodied smokers. As part of this review, Famous Smoke Shop's Cigar Advisor team has partnered up with Yards Brewing Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to pair with the cigar.
Padron 1926 Serie Famous 75th Anniversary Makes Halfwheel "Top 25"
|
Maduro Version Lands at #20 in Popular Cigar News Site's Annual Cigar Awards List
EASTON, PA--(Marketwired - January 13, 2016) - "2015 was an extremely competitive year for cigars," writes Charlie Minato, editor and co-founder of halfwheel.com, one of the most widely-read cigar industry news websites. Recently Halfwheel announced their 2015 Awards for the Top 25 cigars, and tagged the Padrón 1926 Serie Famous 75th Anniversary maduro cigar as its 20th place entry. Famous Smoke Shop, the leading online distributor of discounted premium cigars, specializing in offering the web's widest selection of cigars at the lowest prices, added the Padrón cigars to their stable in November of 2015 in a collaborative effort between Jorge Padrón and Famous Smoke Shop CEO, Arthur Zaretsky, to celebrate their families' 75 years in business, respectively.
In their description of the award-winning cigar, Halfwheel wrote: "The maduro-wrapped version features an exceedingly smooth profile that is filled with a depth of flavors, including citrus, hot chocolate, earth, cocoa and fruity sweetness, along with excellent construction and balance."
The Padrón 1926 Serie Famous 75th Anniversary cigars are made in one size, a 5" x 54 box-pressed robusto rolled in a choice of two wrapper shades: a Nicaraguan Habano natural and Nicaraguan Habano maduro. Presented in boxes of 10 cigars, these full-bodied puros are exquisitely handcrafted with all 5 to 10-year-aged Nicaraguan tobaccos offering a smooth, creamy, and well-balanced smoke brimming with Padrón's signature earthy-spicy flavor profile. Only 3,000 boxes were made, and like all Padrón 1926 Serie cigars, they have individual, serial-numbered labels.
As for what inspired the anniversary cigars, both Messrs. Zaretsky and Padrón acquired a passion for cigars while growing up in their family businesses, and have come to recognize and appreciate what their families created: a confidence and a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction that grew into prosperous, internationally-renowned businesses.
"I'm honored that Halfwheel chose this special cigar we did with the Padrón family for their annual best cigars list," Mr. Zaretsky said. "But the real honor goes to the customers who have supported both of our families for so many years, and hopefully, many more to come."

FSS Announces the Release of the New Alec Bradley 1633 Cigars on Sale Now
|
Easton, PA -- Famous Smoke Shop is a leading online distributor of discounted premium cigars. The company specializes in offering the web’s widest selection of cigars at the lowest prices. As part of their continued commitment to excellence and serving those who enjoy fine cigars, Famous has just announced the release of the new Alec Bradley 1633 which is now available for sale exclusively through their online store www.famous-smoke.com.
The Alec Bradley 1633 is one of two cigars released under this new line of cigars. The 1633 in the name pays tribute to year when the first tobacco plant is believed to have been grown in Connecticut, which is the state in which this cigar’s wrapper originates. Under the leadership of Nestor Plasencia, these cigars are rolled and carefully inspected to ensure each cigar enjoyed is consistent and of the highest quality from one to the next, before being boxed up and shipped to Famous Smoke Shop’s massive warehouse in Easton, Pennsylvania where their company is located..
The blend on the Alec Bradley 1633 is complex and very involved. As stated previously, this cigar features a smooth Connecticut wrapper, providing subtle nuances of savory flavors and aroma. The core intensifies the flavor with a Costa Rican binder and longfillers from Panama, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Although it looks light and mild, this offering is a rich and creamy medium bodied cigar that is sure to strike a chord with anyone who likes mild bodied cigars yet wants to try something more daring, or the true medium bodied fan who enjoys palate pleasing full-on flavor.
Famous Smoke Shop and Cigar Advisor Copywriter and Cigar Reviewer Jonathan Detore was able to try the 1633 before it hit the shelves, in order to provide a more in depth review of what those who buy a box of their own should expect. He says of the cigar “The Alec Bradley 1633 has a great balance of smooth and rough, if that makes any sense. It’s got a smooth, cool draw, but hits you with some slight spice and strength. This is a perfect example of when to not judge a book by its cover. It looks mild because of the Connecticut wrapper, which is stereotypical for mild cigars. However, by bringing in heavy tobaccos from Nicaragua along with the sweet Honduran longfiller, you are left with a medium bodied well-rounded smoke.”
Alec Bradley 1633 Cigars are available in four sizes – a 7 x 50 Churchill, a 6 x 60 Gordo, and a 6 x 52 Toro, and a 5 x 50 Robusto. With Famous’ full box discount pricing, customers can enjoy this new offering in boxes of 20, with individual retail prices ranging from $5.91 to $7.41 per cigar. People interested in learning more about Alec Bradley 1633 cigars or Famous Smoke Shop should visit www.Famous-Smoke.com or call 800-564-2486.

Supervising the production of cigar manufacturing in Cuba was only the beginning as he later went on to assemble and manage distribution of all Cuban cigar brands for Asia at The Pacific Cigar Company Ltd.

Duran Premium Cigars has given Roberto the platform to introduce a brand of cigars that offer the same quality, construction, and detail which he demanded from those he supervised while in Cuba.

Proposed Regulation on Premium Cigars Moves to Next Phase
|
|
WASHINGTON, D.C. –The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has moved the proposed deeming rule on cigars and pipe tobacco into the next phase by sending it to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) at the White House for economic review as required by Executive Order 12866.
This agency has a statutory 90-day period for review before the rule is moved into final implementation. During this time, the IPCPR will present fact based evidence and data to the Administration. OMB will likely not share the details as they review the FDA’s proposal. As such, the IPCPR is prepared to act immediately upon release of the final rule should the ruling not be favorable to premium cigars and pipe tobacco. Under the Tobacco Control Act, the FDA has the authority to regulate tobacco-derived products in the U.S. marketplace. The IPCPR believes that premium cigars should be exempt from regulation as they do not have youth access issues and habitual use patterns which was the scope of the original Tobacco Control Act, passed by Congress in 2009. Your cooperation and participation as a member of the IPCPR is crucial during this time. Please contact your Member of Congress to encourage their support.

A.J. FERNANDEZ TO INTRODUCE THE "ENCLAVE" AT THE 2015 IPCPR IN NEW ORLEANS
|
(Miami, Florida) July 13, 2015— A.J. Fernandez Cigars, known for producing consistently highly rated and sought after cigars, is proud to unveil "Enclave" at the 2015 IPCPR in New Orleans. Following in the footsteps of the very popular New World cigar, the Enclave blend was a special collaboration between A.J. and his father Ismael Fernandez.
The spirit of the Enclave cigar lies within the special brotherhood, created by those who enjoy a great cigar. In the dictionary, Enclave is defined as: a portion of territory within or surrounded by a larger territory whose inhabitants are culturally or ethnically distinct. Cigar smokers from every ethnic background, race, or creed, bond together daily to escape the everyday, while sharing a handcrafted premium cigar. A.J. Fernandez Cigars celebrates this brotherhood with the Enclave.
A.J. Fernandez said: "There is no doubt that there is a special bond shared among those passionate about cigars. I experience it daily as I have the luxury of sharing my labor of love with my father, Ismael. We invite you to join our "Enclave" with this special cigar that we have patiently crafted to perfection."
The Enclave blend is an elegantly displayed cigar, adorned with a cigar ring which depicts images of Native Indians, a representation of the original tobacco enclave. As with every A.J. Fernandez cigar brand, Enclave is a carefully hand-crafted cigar, which was blended under strict supervision of A.J. Fernandez in their Estelí, Nicaragua based factory.
The Enclave is a medium to full bodied cigar. The rich Habano Rosado wrapper from Ecuador compliments a decadent Cameroon Binder. AJF Select Nicaraguan and AJF Nicaraguan Piloto Cubano Fillers greet the cigar aficionado, with notes of pepper, spice, cedar, and cinnamon. At an MSRP of six dollars, A.J. Fernandez is looking for Enclave to be a first class cigar that can be a daily source of enjoyment.
The Enclave come in a beautifully adorned 20 count box and come in four sizes.
Robusto 5 x 52
Toro 6 x 52
Churchill 7 x 52
Figurado 6 1/2 x 52
