By Travis lord

What an exciting time to be a part of the cigar industry. As I'm writing

this, I'm freshly returned from the fantastic IPCPR trade show that took place this year in Orlando, FL. I'm sitting in our world-class cigar lounge, smoking a pre-release sample of the latest blend from Room 101, the Daruma, that will likely be on our shelves by the time you're all reading this. I'm reflecting back on the trip and how special this last weekend was. I spend the majority of my time surrounded by premium tobacco, but last weekend was total immersion. All of the titans of our industry were present, and the level of excitement in the air was palpable. These are guys and gals who have been doing this for decades or longer, and in many cases going back for generations.

Yet despite the years of experience, everyone there looked like a 7-year-old on Christmas morning. Each time I was handed a sample of a new cigar, the person handing it to me looked so genuinely thrilled that I was about to smoke it. Time and again, they'd watch me with barely restrained anticipation, waiting to see my reaction to the first puff. And trust me, it wasn't because I'm some big shot who was about to buy out their entire inventory. I'm just some guy who works for a cigar shop in

Albany, just like hundreds of other shops all over the country. These guys didn't care if I bought a thousand boxes of their cigar, or any at all. They just wanted to share with me the fruits of their hard work, and for me to appreciate the intangible joy that we all get from this fine hobby.

Their enthusiasm is contagious, and I feel the same way now, being able to share all of these fine products with all of you. I'm not the master blender who labored tirelessly nailing the blend down just right, but just the same I am playing my own small part in putting these works of tobacco art in your hands, humidors, and cellars. I am just as eagerly awaiting your reaction to that first puff. I get a tremendous amount of satisfaction knowing I played a minuscule role in your celebratory smoke, or just the one that gave you a brief respite from the stresses of your daily life.

Over the coming weeks and months we will be offering to you an enormous number of new blends; the volume of prolific work from these tobacco masters in astonishing. The breadth of different offerings is

overwhelming, there is something for any style. I hope that you will find on our shelves the smoke that

provides you with the “moment of Zen” that we are all chasing when we fire up another new creation.

Of course outside of the excitement surrounding this year's batch of smokes, the hottest discussion topic at IPCPR was the growing legislation that threatens our hobby and livelihood. There were concerns over FDA regulations that seek to limit the creativity of the blenders. There are concerns about whether or not mail order companies like ours will even be able to continue to offer you the vast variety of smokes for your enjoyment.

While many people worry, I don't. There are too many smart, talented, passionate, and driven people to allow anything like that to happen. People like Marvin Samuel, Jeff Borysiewicz, our owner Scotty, and hundreds of other folks are sacrificing their time, energy, financial resources, and even their own businesses to ensure we can continue to exist and thrive. We will fight tooth and nail to ensure the future of premium tobacco products. We are too many, too strong, and too dedicated. Our cause is just, our intentions pure, and I have no doubt that we will emerge victorious. We are in a golden age, with resources and creativity unmatched at any point in the history of this business. I am honored to be a small part of this wonderful culture, and I am proud to share it with all of you. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us, and it is truly our pleasure to have all of you along for what is sure to be an exhilarating ride.

aVo UVeZianaVo classic

Avo Uvezian calls the Avo Classic line “cigars in perfect harmony,” and that says it all about this iconic brand. Expertly blended with a perfectly balanced mixture of Dominican tobaccos, this smooth and mild smoke is topped off with a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper. Avo Uvezian, also an acclaimed composer, is the genius behind this smoke, and this cigar is like a perfectly composed and performed symphony with each element combining to create a work of art beyond the sum of its parts.

aVo XoAnother staple in the Avo line, the

XO off ers Avo fans a complex blend that stays on the mild side of things. You’ll pick up hints of wood, nuts

and coff ee while savoring the thick, chewy smoke this one produces. Th is well constructed stogie pairs perfectly with your morning coff ee, or puts the fi nishing touch on a lazy aft ernoon.

aVo HeritageAvo Uvezian and Henke Kelner set out to make a cigar “that caters to the seasoned cigar enthusiast who demands a complex, full-bodied smoking experience.” Th e

result of their hard work is the Avo Heritage Series, and it surely delivers as promised. Th e strongest Avo to date, this one features a dark and oily Ecuadorian Sungrown wrapper that meshes a spicy blend of Dominican binder and fi ller that shatters the stereotype of Avo as a mild brand.

aVo domaineTh e presentation of the Avo Domaine is

just beautiful. From the lush dark wrapper that perfectly color-coordinates with

the elegant purple band to the rich pre-light aroma, this one impresses

right out of the box. Once lit, this smoke delivers a smooth, creamy smoke with notes of earth and wood. Th is is the ideal cigar for a mild smoker looking to begin the journey towards stronger blends.

oliva serie VOliva has consistently made some of the highest quality and best value cigars on the market for generations. Th e company and family’s story starts way back in 1800s Cuba and continues to the lush fi elds of Nicaragua today. However, up until recently the Oliva company didn’t have an over-the-top strong cigar in their line-up of premium off erings. Th at all changed in 2007 with the release of the Oliva Serie V.

Charlie Toraño was going through his father’s blend book one day when he found a never-released blend that his father had been working on. Th e blend was called Liga A-008, and Charlie thought it would produce a phenomenal cigar. Aft er recreating the blend, it was still missing something. Charlie knew just what to do, adding the fi nishing touch of a Ligero binder tobacco from the volcanic island of Ometepe, Nicaragua. Adding this crucial element completed the blend, and Torano knew he had a winner on his hands. Rich, fl avorful, and redolent of a variety of fl avor notes including earth, nuts, spice, and cream make this a complex journey for the true cigar afi cionado.

Th e explosion in small-batch, boutique cigars is one of the most exciting trends currently happening in the world of cigars. Th rowing out the idea of making hundreds of thousands of sticks allows for more attention to the blending process, the ability to utilize tobacco simply not available in quantities large enough for “the big guys”, and for an unmatched level of perfection when it comes to construction. Paul Stulac is one of the masterminds at the forefront of this revolution, teaming up with Kiki Berger to create some of the most innovative smokes on the market. Connoisseurs will discover a perfectly craft ed smoke that takes them on a journey through an ever-evolving fl avor profi le and fi nishes off with depth and smoothness. It sure takes some guts to call your cigars “Regalo de Dios” (that’s “Gift from God” in Spanish), but Mr. Stulac isn’t short on confi dence and his smokes back up his bravado.

By Travis lord

Those of you familiar with our blog at

Ta l k ingTob acco.com have probably seen our Pint Friday features, but for those of you who haven’t, here’s the idea: Every week, Josh, Jason and I (along with any

special guests we might recruit) get together and enjoy our weekly “cigar moment of Zen”. For us, this moment occurs on Friday aft ernoon, when the work week is done and we can crack open a fi ne craft brew, fi re up a premium cigar, and start the weekend off by relaxing. Each week we pick out a new pairing, and we review the cigar, the beer, and the pairing combination to give you some tips on smokes, brews, and combos you might enjoy. Th is concept is so much fun that the blog couldn’t contain it, so we bring to you the fi rst in-print edition of Pint Friday!

Th is week we are sampling a beer and a cigar that haven’t really hit the mainstream yet, but really should. Having spent many years living in Kingston, NY, I am quite familiar with the outstanding Keegan Ales brewery, and their Joe Mama’s Milk has always been a favorite of mine, especially during the fall and winter months. Of course with a rich, dark, and creamy stout beer we needed just the right cigar to pair it with. Th e Hammer & Sickle Moscow City was an obvious choice, the lush CT Broadleaf Maduro wrapper is the cigar equivalent to a stout beer, and also is a personal favorite of mine.

I fi red up the Moscow City, it lit up easily and instantly delivered the deep, rich fl avors I’ve come to expect from this blend. Smooth, thick smoke with copious

amounts of chocolate, cocoa, coff ee, and cream overtakes my palate, and it’s time to crack open my Joe Mama’s Milk. As one might imagine, the coff ee infused milk stout is a fantastic match. Th e brew is thick, rich with fl avors, and all around delicious. One of my favorite aspects is the excellent balance, I oft en fi nd microbrews to be either watery or overly alcohol-tasting. Th is one doesn’t even get close to either, all the elements are in order, and the care put into making it is obvious. Despite

tasting like a beer milkshake, this one manages to not be too sweet, going down nice and easy while tantalizing my tongue with its creamy fl avor concoction. As I kept smoking the Moscow City it got even better, with the fl avors continuing to evolve and entertain my palate. Th e Maduro wrapper is absolutely gorgeous, and it adds such depth to the blend. Th e easy draw and the smooth, creamy smoke make this one perfect for our purposes of achieving ultimate relaxation. Underneath the overlying chocolate and coff ee tones, there is rich earth, leather, and dark woody notes that come and go throughout, adding complexity and keeping the smoker enthralled. If you can’t tell, I really like this cigar and plan to revisit this pair again, probably repeatedly, on my own time without telling you all about it. If you enjoy stouts and can get your hands on Keegan’s Joe Mama’s Milk, do yourself a favor and give this pair a shot this fall.

Th anks for joining me in Pint Friday, please visit TalkingTobacco.com to read our full review including Jason and Josh’s takes, see our photos, and view our video review of this pairing!

savoy Humidors

By JasoN rUBiNo

proper storage of your cigar collection is

very important to ensure maximum enjoyment and satisfaction from this fi ne hobby. A properly stored cigar will provide the smoking experience we’re all looking for, and

keep issues like uneven burns, poor draws, and dryness to a minimum. When you’ve purchased a new humidor to store your collection, the most important fi rst step towards ensuring it stores your cigars well is to season it. Th e seasoning process allows the Spanish cedar lining of the humidor to absorb moisture and saturate itself. Th is is done so that when you’re storing your stogies in it and pumping in more moisture with your humidifi cation device that the moisture isn’t sucked up by the humidor lining and is directed to your cigars as it should be. Many of you afi cionados already know how to do this, but since it’s one of the most common questions we are asked here at P&C we wanted to off er this guide

to humidor seasoning to those of you who have a few questions. It’s a pretty simple process, but it is important to do and if done properly will result in you getting the most from your cigars. Let’s get started!

First, you will need either humidor activation solution (a 50/50 mix of distilled water and propylene glycol) or distilled water, and a soft , lint-free cloth. We recommend using the solution for the fi rst seasoning of the humidor, and again in the spring and fall, when the temperatures change. Th e solution will help stabilize the humidity level as it seeks your preferred humidity level. You can also use distilled water instead, but you should monitor the box closely for the fi rst week or so to make sure it stabilizes.

Start by moistening the cloth, and wipe down all exposed cedar surfaces on the inside of the humidor, including all trays and dividers. Close the lid and wait an hour or so and repeat. If you have the time, a third wipe will help even more.

Next, fi ll a shot glass or a small bowl with distilled water and place it inside the

humidor. Close the humidor and allow the box to sit closed Th e next day, charge your humidifi cation device and mount it, along with

the hygrometer. If the shot glass or bowl is empty, refi ll it. If distilled water remains, leave it alone. Leave the box to sit closed for another night. Th e next day, check the humidor. If the inner lining wood is not damp to the touch, and your hygrometer is reading between 60 and 70%, your humidor is ready for use. Remove the shot glass or bowl and place your cigars inside the humidor (of course keeping at least one out to smoke in celebration).

If the wood is still damp, remove the shot glass/bowl and let the humidor sit empty for another night. If the hygrometer still reads below 50%, leave the shot glass/bowl in the closed humidor without cigars for another night. Repeat this process until the lining of your humidor is dry to the touch and the hygrometer is consistently reading between 60 and 70%. If you have problems or need additional assistance, our friendly and knowledge staff is available for phone help at 800-494-9144.
