Triple Cap Cigars

Ever hear of a triple capped cigar, but never quite understood what it is exactly?  Fear not, we've got your back.

A triple cap refers to the style at the head of a cigar (where you make a cut).  A cap is the piece of tobacco that rests over the head.  Traditionally, Cubans would put three caps on their cigars as a mark of quality and craftsmanship, as seen in the seams in the photo above.  Some say it helps hold the wrapper together better, it is more likely an aesthetic feature,as it does look impressive.  Although other countries have been using for years now, it still is a fun tidbit to point out and impress your friends with.

Next time you light up a Tatuaje, Davidoff, La Flor Dominicana, or Ashton, keep an eye out for that Triple Cap.

Liga Privada Serie Unico

Every so often, a cigar manufacturer creates something super special but unfortunately can't produce on a retail level; there's just not enough of a specific tobacco.  However, the folks at Drew Estate were lucky enough to release a few of these, what should have been, one-offs in the Liga Privada Serie Unico.

Each Size in the Serie Unico features it's own blend. That means that no two cigars in the series will taste the same.  Drew Estates uses the choicest tobacco for this series, and you can definitely taste it.  These cigars are Rich, Bold, and Intense. They are super limited and do not last very long.

Tatuaje's Cojonu Releases

Over the years, Tatuaje has had a few releases in what they call the Cojonu Series.  Although these cigars are all considered part of the Cojonu family, they are all actually blended a little differently.  Today, I will walk you through some of those differences. 

First off, each Cojonu is an offshoot blend of the Tatuaje Brown Label Line.  Where those are considered medium body, Cojonus typically run a bit on the stronger side.  Let's explore.

Tatuaje Cojonu 2003
The Tatuaje Cojonu 2003 is fuller bodied, with quite a bit of Hot Pepper Flake heat and a nice Cedar Spice. It is Big, Bold, and Intense with flavors such as Earth, Nuts, Pepper, Oak, and Leather.  Tatuaje’s Masterpiece. 

Tatuaje Cojonu 2006
The Tatuaje Cojonu 2006 is fuller in body also, with Bolder flavors.  Pepper and wood Dominate while softer flavors like Cinnamon, Cashews, and Cedar come in and out of play.  It is a great example of a Full Flavored, Full Bodied cigar. 

Tatuaje Cojonu 2009
The Tatuaje Cojonu 2009 is sweeter than the other Cojonus. This cigar is medium bodied with notes of Berries, Cherries, Pepper, Chocolate, and Cedar.  If you are looking to try a Cojonu, but don’t want to jump into anything too strong, this is the one for you!

Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Reserva
For their 2012 release, Tatuaje has chosen to offer this one size available with three different wrappers.  The Reserva features a dark Broadleaf wrapper that delivers refined Pepper notes, with dominate Leather and Oaky undertones.  Full bodied and Intense.

Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Capa Especial
The Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Capa Especial features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, which offers a very Sweet component to an otherwise Spicy cigar.  This interplay of Sweet and Spicy pays off in a big way.  Complex, Creamy, and Smooth.

Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Habano
The Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Habano features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper which delivers Rich and Bright flavors like Cedar, Earth, Brine, and other Spices.  Full Flavored and Intense. 

Tatuaje Gran Cojonu LTD
The Tatuaje Gran Cojonu LTD is blended after the Cojonu 2003, switching out the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper for Connecticut Broadleaf.  This cigar is Bold.  Leather, Pepper, Espresso, Chocolate, and Oak dominate the cigar throughout.  It is a Full bodied force to be reckoned with.

Celebrate Father's Day with a My Father Cigar

My Father Cigars are acclaimed for their Consistency, Complexity, and Balance.  A truly exceptional cigar blended by the Garcia family in Nicaragua. These cigars are medium bodied, and are crafted to give you a broad spectrum of flavor from Sweet to Spicy.

As the story goes, Don Pepin Garcia, a blending legend, had been teaching his son, Jaime Garcia, the family tradition of making fine cigars.  Unbeknownst to Don Pepin, one day Jaime decided to blend a cigar on his own.  When his project was finished, Don Pepin was presented with his son's effort and was immediately taken back by how great these cigars were.  He then asked his son what he would name the cigar.  Jaime responded that he would name this cigar My Father, as a tribute to Don Pepin. He was immediately overcome with emotion and broke down in tears. And that's how My Father Cigars came to be.

Enjoy a cigar with Dad this Father's Day.  Try My Father Cigars at RegencyCigar.com

Exploring The Lost City Opus X

The Lost City Opus X is a very Limited Production offshoot of the highly sought-after Opus X.  As part of Fuente's Aged Selection, the wrapper leaf is aged 5 years in order to deliver Rich Notes of Pepper and Spice, as well as to create a truly balanced cigar.

While it is relatively lighter than the very full bodied Opus X, The Lost City still boasts an incredible amount of flavor.  Pepper, Cedar Spice, Coffee, Cherries, Jasmine, and Clove shine through in a complex, yet refined, flavor profile.

The Lost City got it's name from a movie directed by Andy Garcia shot in Fuente's famous Chateau de la Fuente, where they grow their tobacco.  The wrapper leaf used on the Lost City was grown specifically to be shot in the movie.  Fuente had set this harvest aside for the 5 years and discovered that it was actually exceptional, worthy enough to carry to Opus X name.

The Lost City Opus X is Available Now at RegencyCigar.com

Avo Domain
Avo’s most personal blend, specially crafted for the connoisseur. Composed of highly aromatic tobacco harvested from Avo’s private estate, this medium-to-full-bodied blend resonates with exceptionally rich character delivering flavors of butter and spice with subtle nuttiness. There are floral notes and other earthy flavors that help to round out the complexity of this extremely enjoyable cigar. There is also a surprisingly sweet cocoa note that is noticeable on the finish, adding personality to the perfection of this memorable blend.

This full-bodied blend offers rich, toasted notes of cocoa and spice with an unforgettably creamy finish. Crafted as homage to our farmers, blenders and rollers, AVO Heritage offers a satisfying range of complex flavors delivered in a smooth, balanced fashion.

Enjoying a Cup of Coffee with Your Cigar

People often ask me what kind of spirits I enjoy with a cigar, and I'm more than happy to share my experiences with them.  Personally, however, I truly enjoy a nice cup of coffee to accompany my cigar.  Medium-Dark Roasts or even Espresso, there's just something about the pair that sends me to the moon.  Perhaps it's just a caffeine and nicotine thing for me, but it's worth a try. Next time you're in the mood for a Tatuaje Brown Label, Padron 1926, or the new Davidoff Nicaragua Box Pressed Toro, pick yourself up a cup and enjoy. I think you'll be surprised quite how nicely the two pair.

Review: Padron 1964 Hermosa Maduro

The Brand New Padron 1964 Anniversary Hermoso is the newest cigar in the 1964 Series since the No. 4 back in 2012.  The Hermoso is a 4 x 56 Short Robusto.  Blended wth the same components as it's 1964 counterparts, I'm interested to see how this 56 ring gauge stacks up.

Look
The Hermoso looks small.  Despite it being a 56 ring gauge, it just feels really small in your hands.  This might be perfect for smokers who only have 20-25 minutes of smoke time. Wrapper is leathery and rustic like all other Padrons.

Draw
Just like any other Padron, the draw is FLAWLESS.  Not too tight, not to loose.  Just Perfect.

Taste
The first few puffs are filled with refined pepper notes, which quickly settles into a gentle floral characteristic.  The smoke feels cooler in your mouth, as opposed to other Padrons.  It is super mellow.  Leather, Earth, Toast, Black Coffee, and Oak.  Medium bodied, Full of Flavor.  The burn is crooked, but it hasn't affected the way the cigar smokes.  I think this is a hit for Padron.

All in all, the Hermoso was a quick smoke.  Once again, perfect for those who only have about 25 minutes a day set aside to enjoy a smoke.  It tastes like a Padron, although somewhat mellower.  If you like the 1964 Anniversary Series, you'll enjoy this.  A+
