Stogie Guys Friday Sampler No. 408

21 Nov 2014

As we have since July 2006, each Friday we’ll post a mixed bag of quick cigar news and other items of interest. Below is our latest Friday Sampler.

Ratzilla1) Drew Estate announced this week a Liga Privada Único Serie Ratzilla would be launched as a new limited edition holiday release. The cigar will be available at tobacconists in Drew Estate’s Drew Diplomat Retailer Program, which affords some retailers priority allocations on new cigar releases, limited editions, and commemorative cigars and products. “Prior to this formal release, the Liga Privada Único Serie Ratzilla was handed out to a few friends at the IPCPR tradeshow in 2011, and then introduced at Casa de Montecristo in Chicago in 2012 with an extremely limited production of 50 12-count bundles,” according to a Dew Estate press release. “The Liga Privada Único Serie Ratzilla, produced at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua, features a Connecticut stalk-cut and cured sun-grown Habano wrapper, a Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers.”

2) “The Boulder City Council unanimously approved two versions of a broad outdoor smoking ban Tuesday night,” according to the Denver Post. “The smoking ban would cover city parks, multi-use paths, the area around transit stops, the entire downtown business district, including alleys, Chautauqua Park, and the Flatirons Golf Course. Smoking is already prohibited on the Pearl Street Mall, in the Civic Area, and from the corner of Arapahoe Avenue and 13th Street southeast to 17th Street and University Avenue.”

3) Inside the Industry: This week Illusione shipped its 2014 Singulare cigar called Anunnaki. Named after Sumerian deities, the latest annual release from Illusione is a 5.5-inch, 54-ring gauge Nicaraguan puro made at the TABSA factory in Nicaragua.

4) Deal of the Week: Only $36 gets you a dozen fine smokes in this cold front sampler special from Smoke Inn. Included are two Romeo Toros, two Nish Patel Toros, two Partagas Black Maximos, one Gran Habano Azteca Jaguares, three Ortega Wild Bunch Gearhead Garys, and two Wynwood 465s.
