New releases part II

Hello cigar smokers,
In this post I'm detailing the second half of our new holiday items here at the shop. We have lots of rare Fuentes available, not just the Don Carlos Personal Reserve.
First we got 3 new facings of the Fuente Anejo, these cigars feature a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with certain Opus X fillers finished in Cognac barrels. These cigars are very rich and give a faint barrel taste. These are much different than the American Bourbon barrels that Camacho uses for their American Barrel Aged line, I would describe it as a much more subtle barrel taste that only comes to the forefront on the finish.
Each of these vitolas offer a different experience and have their nuances. Each size is named after its ring gauge. First is the #46, this cigar is a corona size then the #48 is a Corona Gorda and finally is the #55 Torpedo. Each of these cigars come in boxes of 25 and feature lots of red on the box and finished with a red ribbon. All that red packages well as a Christmas present, it has an unmistakable look that hops out to all Fuente fans. In my experience this cigar is harder to get than the Opus X for much of the year, and if you ask me it is a better cigar.
Next we have the Fuente Best Seller in a Maduro wrapper. These cigars are a strange perfecto shape that is similar to the Fuente Short Story. These cigars rarely come with a Maduro wrapper and these are not going to last. These are rarely seen and a great take on the famous Fuente Hemingway line.

Here is a side by side comparison to show the difference in wrapper between the Maduro and classic Best Seller cigars.
Exciting times and even more exciting cigars! Please consider doing your holiday shopping for the cigar smokers in your life with us at Disocunt Cigarettes and Cigars, located at 801 Woodside Road Redwood City, CA. Happy holidays and happy smoking,

Holiday releases

Hello Cigar smokers,
This holiday season is shaping up to be a good one for us at Discount Cigarettes and Cigars in Redwood City. There is a multitude of new releases and old favorites making a comeback at our shop. I'm going to detail what's going on with us below.
First off we have the newest addition to the My Father family. First is a brand new release, The Judge. This cigar is a box pressed Gran Toro, measuring 6"x56. This cigar is a dry, slightly peaty blend that goes excellent with scotch whiskeys. It features the familiar My Father Band and has a new box inlay that is in line with the style of previous releases.

Another new release by My Father is their popular Flor de Las Antillas cigar, now available in a Maduro wrapper. These cigars are identical fillers and binder to the original with a new Maduro wrapper. I prefer these much more than the original Flor de Las Antillas, it's about time there is a Maduro if you ask me!

Third we have the Fuente Don Carlos Personal Reserve. It is said that these were the cigars that Carlos Fuente Senior blended for himself, and since his passing they will be on the market for a limited time. They're much richer than the regular Don Carlos line and they only come in a traditional Robusto size. They're a great treat for any Fuente fan.
There are some other items to promote that will be detailed in a new post. The My Fathers are regular production items for the market to enjoy, but the Don Carlos Personal Reserve are a limited run so if you're interested don't hesitate! Happy smoking and happy holidays we hope to accommodate your cigar needs here. Like always any cigar related questions can go to jtcigarsofwoodside@gmail.com or feel free to call at (650) 366-8888
