Don Pepin Garcia Serie JJ “Little Robusto” Limited Edition

Reverend Mike — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:20:23 +0000

As one of the most premier cigar makers of the day, Don Pepin credits his Series JJ line as the finest of all of his blends. It is spicy and robust with a rich medium to full body.

“Little Robusto” was the affectionate nickname Jerry Cruz gave his son JJ. Sadly, JJ passed away on November 2, 2007 from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) while at daycare when he was just 3.5 months old. When JJ was born, the first cigar Jerry smoked to celebrate his birth was the Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ. A cigar blended by father (Jose Pepin Garcia) and son (Jaime Garcia) team at My Father Cigars. Even though JJ isn’t with us anymore, Jerry still celebrates his birthday. Every July 22nd, he lights up a Series JJ just like he did when he was born. Don (Jose) Pepin Garcia is arguably making the best cigars on the market. His secret family recipe for blending and fermentation has been handed down generation to generation since his family’s beginnings in old Cuba. Today Pepin is using this time honored process to make cigars which many aficionados consider to very reminiscent of the best Cuban cigars available today.

The Garcia family created the “Little Robusto” a 4.5 x 50 short robusto in memory of Jerry’s son. This limited production cigar features a Nicaraguan Corojo Rosado Oscuro wrapper with Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo filler and only 300 (24 count) boxes were made.

Series JJ is a medium to full bodied cigar with deep and excellent flavor and creaminess. Chesapeake Cigar is the only retailer in the Annapolis area to carry the Little Robusto.

November’s Spotlight Cigar — Berger & Argenti Entubar

Reverend Mike — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:29:30 +0000

Three iconic cigar manufacturers have teamed up to create a truly unique smoking experience. Don Kiki Berger, Albert and Michael Argenti have released their flagship blend, Entubar. Entubar is a tribute to the time-honored Cuban cigar making technique of the same name. At first glance, you’ll notice a half inch twisted filler protruding from the foot of the cigar. The warning label attached to the foot of the cigar states to thoroughly light the entire foot including the protrusion of Nicaraguan Ligero that runs the length of the cigar.

The Entubar is beautifully wrapped with a flawless Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed Desflorado wrapper, bound together by an aged Nicaraguan binder and filled with a perfectly balanced blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco. Desflorado tobacco is some of the best and most expensive available anywhere. It requires constant vigilance and when the buds are ready to flower they are cut off, giving the tobacco an extra rich and smooth taste.

The first half of the cigar features a satisfying and unique profile of fresh grains, cream, roasted nuts and bell pepper spice. The second half kicks it up on the spice note and new flavors emerge from the woodwork reminiscent of bitter coffee and hay. The Berger & Argenti Entubar offers a superior smoking experience defined by a mosaic of complex flavors, a sweet finish, and an unsurpassed draw.

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut-Seed Desflorado
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Dominican and Nicaraguan
Body: Medium to Full

Holding true to our reputation for bringing the Annapolis are the best boutique cigars, Chesapeake is proud to be partnered with Berger & Argenti to offer the full line of Entubar to you.

Alec Bradley Fine & Rare

Reverend Mike — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 19:08:51 +0000

In August of 2010, a small team of rollers at the Raices Cubanas factory in Honduras sat down at their tables and produced a secret cigar with 10 different tobaccos in the overall blend. They didn’t know it at the time, but their handy work was to become Fine & Rare,an extremely limited offering from Alec Bradley.

According to Alec Bradley’s owner, Alan Rubin, this is the only cigar on the market with a 10-tobacco blend. It consists of a Honduran wrapper from the Trojes farm, dual Honduran and Nicaraguan binders and secret filler blend.

Available in boxes of 10, Fine & Rare is a 6 x 52 Toro.

Only 1,111 boxes of Fine & Rare will be produced with each numbered cigar bearing the signatures of Rubin and company vice president Ralph Montero, as well as the project manager, roller and buncher.

As the top Alec Bradley seller in the Annapolis area, Chesapeake Cigar will receive a very limited supply of these highly limited cigars, which are scheduled to be in the shop on 11/11/11. Availability will depend on the total received and will be allocated first to locker holders and then to the general public. No pre-orders will be accepted.

SMOKES FROM THE ROAD….. ABOUT TIME I POSTED. PERDOMO ESTATE SELECCION VINTAGE 2002 MADURO

Wayne — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:05:41 +0000

Hey Everybody,
I decided to start up my reviews again. After a great trip to Vegas for the IPCPR convention last week, I have some great smokes to share. Up first is the latest from Perdomo. The blends that Perdomo has released are dynamic and different. The Estate Seleccion 2002 is a really tasty update from the last version. Walt gave me the robusto size to smoke. A perfect oily wrapper feels great in the hand. The first puff was cedary and spicy thru the nose. A quarter of the way some cocoa flavor joins the fun. I LOVE nicaraguan maduros for this reason. It burned perfect all the way, and I was in smoke heaven with every puff. This blend is magic on the palate, and if you enjoy a cedary chocolate maduro, TRY THIS BABY!. Full flavored and smooth. Its medium to full bodied. Coming Soon to Chesapeake!

Happy Smokes,

Wayne ” Rocky Rulz” Young

SMOKES FROM THE ROAD: PERDOMO EXHIBICION MADURO

Wayne — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:02:59 +0000

Hey Fans,

I am in Vegas at Treasure Island with the boys from Perdomo. I am lighting up this new double robusto Nicaraguan Puro. I have been smoking Perdomo’s for 10 years, and thought good maduro with spice. Upon lighting, the spice made my nose hairs stand up. This is not your father’s perdomo. I’m a third into it, and the power of pepper and spice are making for a nice buzz. It is smooth and burns nicely. I can honestly say Perdomo now has a power smoke in its profile. This cigar is a heavy hitter, and not for the occasional cigar smoker. If you like a smoke that will grow hair on your chest, Grab this baby and buckle up!. Coming Soon to Chesapeake Cigar.

Happy Smokes!
