No Change. US Shipments suspended as International Couriers cease shipping to USA. This could take a month to sort out so hold tight US brethren 😉

UK/EU/Canada/Middle East and Asian members…make hay while the sun shines!

NFL kicks off this weekend, the skies are blue, all is good in the cigar world bar the craziness that are shipping stoppages to the US. UK Royal Mail commenced shipping to the US late last week and the other carriers around the world are looking closely at the result. All in all, for commercial shippers, the process looks to be a clusterFK. I will expand in a little more detail next week.  None of this should surprise anyone. image.png

Meanwhile!

Solid thread on  Fab5 Build your own cigar We have it in our back pocket to roll this out in 2026. Give it a go! image.png 

 

There are also some updated pics from our Danli factory. The team sends their best and many thanks for your support! LINK

I hope you find the time this weekend to enjoy a cigar serenely by yourself or in the company of friends and/or family.  There is a ton of crap going on in the world right now. Deep breaths, smile on the dial, soldier on. image.png

I don’t have to sell the Monte Petit Edmundo to you. It has more followers than a Kardashian.

The Monte Petit Edmundo is all about the interplay of dark and milk chocolate. What I think most people enjoy is that it is a touch fuller than the Monte 2 and Monte Edmundo. It does everything this vitola should do and that is deliver big marque defining flavours from the first to the last draw.

September Cigar in Focus: 

Puro Desnudo N1 Lancero

 

Aroma at cold: earthy, wooded spice.
Blend notes & body: mossy wood opening, some red pepper flakes in the retrohale and a core of sweet coffee goodness. This beautiful Lancero builds throughout bringing into play creamy chocolate, fresh baked bread and cinnamon. Medium, building to just over medium-bodied.

 

This vitola has produced some of the most legendary cigars ever. One need think no further than the Cohiba Lancero. It's no secret Hamlet and I have a deep love and affinity for the skinny end of the vitola range, and when we conceived the blend for the N1 we were aiming to meld the best elements of two other wonderful cigars in this bracket - the Monte Especial and the PL Montecarlo.

The result has been nothing short of exceptional.

We may not have a legendary cigar just yet, but the N1 is building some legendary word-of-mouth credibility in the community. Devotees will concur...

A brilliant blend at outstanding value.

- Rob Ayala
