Sorry it's been a while since I've been able to post anything here. My wife had a baby on August 7th! Baby girl, Phoebe. Mom and baby are doing great. I have two daughters now, along with the baby we also have a 2 1/2 year old (Beatrix). Two daughters and one bathroom at the house, I have a feeling I'm in for some trouble!
Enough with the baby talk, lets get to cigars. Right now we have select sizes from three lines of Crowned Heads on sale: Four Kicks, Headley Grange and J.D. Howard Reserve. The Four Kicks is a Nicaraguan blend with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Headley Grange has a nice blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos and an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper leaf. The J.D. Howard blend has Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper.
Also, a small shipment of La Flor Dominicana 1994 cigars arrived earlier in the week. The Conga (5 x 52) size is sold out right now but we do still have single cigars and 20-count boxes of the three other sizes available.
I've had the chance to smoke a couple of these 1994s now. Real crisp flavors, I've read reviewers say they pick up notes of citrus and I definitely think that's pretty spot on. They're not as spicy as most of Litto's other offerings; you do see some spice at the end of the cigar but I mostly get an earthy, cedary flavor. They're definitely not as full as most stuff Litto makes. I'd say they're close to mild-to-medium but leaning closer to medium. Certainly something different from Litto and La Flor Dominicana.
Thank you,
Eric
