Ashton to release La Aroma de Cuba “Mi Amor”

La Aroma de Cuba has been flying off the shelves since Ashton re-released it at last year’s IPCPR. This year, the buzz around the water-cooler is centered around their newest offering: La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor.

Mi Amor is a cigar that has been two years in the making. Again, cigar genius Don “Pepin” Garcia has collaborated with Ashton to masterfully create a beautiful smoke  that is certain not to disappoint. The Mi Amor features an attractive Cuban-seed Mexican wrapper and a smart combination of aged Nicaraguan tobaccos. Well-balanced, rich, and complex, this newest La Aroma de Cuba edition is being described as medium bodied. It’s been said that the retail price on this cigar is being kept extremely reasonable so all cigar lovers can enjoy a fantastic quality smoke, even in this economy.

Emerson’s Cigars in Hampton Roads, Virginia is expecting this cigar to arrive sometime in September to their brick and mortar stores as well as their online store. In fact, they’ve been hinting that there might be a La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor in-store event added to their famed Superstar cigars Tour. If so, La Aroma lovers can expect amazing deals both at the event and online. You can sign up for their online event deals by visiting their website www.EmersonsCigars.com  If you’re already a La Aroma de Cuba fan, they are currently running a deal that offers a free one-year membership to cigar Rights of America if you purchase a box of La Aroma de Cuba or La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial.

Basic Tips for the Cigar: What to Do & What Not to Do

People have tryst with cigars, and more seriously with premium cigars, which are known for their quality and richness in taste. The amazing fact is that most of the cigar lovers love to go for brand, and they often love comparing their brand of Premium Cigars with that of premium quality cigs. Cigar lovers seriously feel that premium cigars are the matter of luxury and status as compared to cigs belonging to similar levels.
The important fact is why Premium Cigars are choicest option than the non Premium Cigars. Well, there are many reasons of choosing Premium Cigars, and the two foremost reasons include, Flavor and Taste. Given the choice of smoking a cigar, a smoker would relish the taste and flavor of Premium Cigars over any other type of cigar sold in the market.  Amidst all reasons for choosing Premium Cigars, listed below are few essential tips that would help a cigar smoker to get real cigar taste when smoking:
•    Check out the wrapper or the binder of the premium cigars. It is essential for two important reasons. The wrapper made from tobacco leaves holds the nicotine content in a cigar bounded together, and second, it adds to cigar’s flavor. Therefore, make sure that you find that cigar’s tobacco leaf wrapper is made from fresh tobacco leaves. •    When you buy Premium cigar, buy them right from a reputed cigar dealer, and this will ensure that you get best quality and tasty cigar to smoke. And, moreover, you don’t have to worry about the quality. •    When you go for buying premium cigars, make sure that you buy a darker cigar and this is for one simple reason altogether. The darker the cigar’s wrapper, stronger will be its flavor. Keep in mind this particular formula while choosing from the line of Premium Cigars.•    Make an appropriate cut before smoking a cigar. You can use any of the appropriate methods to cut the cigar. These appropriate methods include, knife, cigar scissors, V-cutter etc. Make sure that you cut the cigar from its head, to enjoy tastier puffs of premium cigars. •    Lighting premium cigars in a particular way is as important as choosing them. When you light a cigar, make sure that the cigar’s end is evenly charred. This would allow the smoke to wallow around the mouth and give you the real taste and pleasurable smoking experience. •    Hold the Premium cigars between your index finger and the thumb. This is the general style and often recommended. Don’t hold them like you hold cigs for many obvious reasons.•    When you buy Premium Cigars, make sure that the length of ash of Premium Cigars should be long enough to give you a tasty smoking experience.  Keep these points clear when buying Premium Cigars to have an enjoyable and tasty cigar smoking experience.

Cigar Trend Alert: Custom Cigar Bands

Cigars have become a fixture in celebrating momentous occasions. They’ve been smoked on birthdays, weddings, golf outings, company parties, anniversaries, and military homecomings. They’re most notably enjoyed to commemorate the birth of a new baby.

Recent buzz has been centered around making these events just a little more special, and a lot more personal, by adding a custom cigar bands to these celebratory cigars. Emerson’s Cigars, a five location retailer in Hampton Roads, Virginia, launched their Custom Band program early this year. They offer many pre-designed templates but also give the option to turn your personal vision into reality through custom artwork.

Wedding season is in full bloom. And though cigars during the reception have always been a tradition, in recent years “Cigar with the Bride and Groom” has become extremely popular.
Custom  cigar  bands can offers that personal touch that will not only impress guests, but adds a special element to the wedding experience. One could have the Father of the Bride and/or the Father of the Groom pass them out at the reception or have them on a table as a wedding favor. Another idea is to save some of your wedding cigars in a humidor to enjoy the first anniversary! Who wants stale cake when you could have a premium, handmade cigar?

Golf season is also in full bloom. In a world full of no-smoking signs, there remains one oasis where the cigar lover can be free. The Golf Course. Imagine a beautiful day, the dew on the emerald-colored green is starting to settle. Birds are lightly chirping and you feel the cool breeze on your cheek.  It’s the perfect moment for a cigar. Moments like these need to be celebrated in style. Emerson’s Cigars’  custom band program is full-service, from start to finish, so all you have to worry about the day of your tournament is the weather.

Kristoff "cigar"- new size, same amazing cigars

This year as part of their Superstar Cigar Tour, Emerson’s Cigars hosted Glen Case of Kristoff at their brick and mortars. Recently, Kristoff introduced a new Corona size for their blends so I thought I’d review a couple of my favorites- The Kristoff Sumatra and the Kristoff Ligero Maduro.

Kristoff Sumatra "Cigar"

After the popularity of the Kristoff Series came the release of the newest line, the Kristoff Sumatra. Very indicative of an elite Cuban, this cigar has a beautiful, rich Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The filler, like many others from the Kristoff line, is a combination of Cuban seed Dominican and Cuban seed Nicaraguan tobaccos. It's easy to taste the velvety, floral flavors meld nicely with the rich spice from that Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The cigar still maintains a lovely smooth, sweet finish that makes the Kristoff Sumatra the definition of quality craftsmanship.

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
Filler: Cuban seed Orlor Dominican and Nicaraguan
Binder: Brazilian
Strength: Medium Bodied



Kristoff Ligero Maduro "Cigar"

The Kristoff Ligero Maduro, delicately handmade, is typically a favorite line of the Kristoff brand of cigars. That's because when the ever popular Brazilian Maduro wrapper combines with Cuban seed Dominican and Cuban seed Nicaraguan filler, the result is flavors of dried cherry, coffee and cocoa beans,but with a snappy but nectarous finish. I guess you could say the Kristoff Ligero Maduro is sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Wrapper: Brazilian Maduro
Filler: Cuban seed Orlor Dominican and Nicaraguan
Binder: Cuban seed Orlor Dominican
Strength: Medium to Full Bodied


Emerson’s Cigars carries Kristoff in their brick and mortar stores, scattered all over Hampton Roads, Virginia. They also sell online at www.EmersonsCigars.com

Illusione Nosotros Cigar

What happens when you combine the refinement of Dion Giolito with the ingenuity of Jonathan Drew? Perfection might be a strong word but it just might apply to Nosotros by Illusione. This one-of-a-kind cigar is special not only because it marries two leading companies (Illusione and Drew Estates) but this blend was reaching a little outside both their comfort zones.

Literally meaning “us,” you’d think it would take multiple tries to create the right blend but these two got it right the first time.  A hand-selected Corojo 99 meets a rare Connecticut Habano binder with classic Nicaraguan filler. This medium body has spice where you don’t expect it, but a smooth complexity that magnifies the taste buds.

Jonathan Drew might not have used his signature infusion techniques, but he definitely added some sort of magic when they created the Nosotros. These cigars available at Emerson’s Cigars in Hampton Roads, Virginia at any of their five brick and mortars. Out of the area? Get them online at www.emersonscigars.com". Free shipping on orders over $100. Happy smokes!!
