Closeouts - Hard to Find Cigars

El Reloj (in Spanish "the clock") is a one of a kind cigar, made in the last operating cigar factory in Tampa, Florida, once the fine cigar capital of the world. This flavorful smoke is valued at a very affordable price. The 8" by 53 ring stick features quality aged tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Honduras that are wrapped in a rich Ecuador Havana Seed Sungrown leaf. 

Craig Cunningham, owner of Esteban Carreras Cigars has introduced a new line in the Esteban Carreras lineup. The Esteban Carreras Cashmere Cigars are a bold blend delivering a medium to full bodied smoke in an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper. Don't be confused by the wrapper of this cigar, the all Nicaraguan core of this blend delivers good amount of strength, with rich notes of cedar, leather and spice ending with a creamy, aromatic finish. Not normally found on Connecticut seed wrappers. So those who like the flavor profile of Connecticut shade but what a cigar with a good amount of body then this is sure to be right up your alley. 

Like he’s done in recent years, Craig Cunningham of Esteban Carreras approached the 2019 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show with a game plan: release one new line and don’t say anything about it prior to the doors opening.

For the new Unforgiven line, Cunningham got into the world of barrel aging, specifically both the tobacco and the finished cigars. In putting the new cigar together, he acquired and shaved down a number of barrels that previously held Flor de Cana 18, a Nicaraguan rum, saying that by the time he finished prepping them, the majority—but not all—of the rum aroma and flavor is gone, though not completely. However, what he really wanted was the age of the barrels and the spirits within them, feeling it would give the cigars the effects he desired. He also noted that it’s one of the most robust, full-flavored cigars he had released.

Oh, baby! Do I have a cigar for you! Ok, ok, I realize I sound like a used car salesman here, but I’m just pumped about the new Evelio. Supremely smooth, with a slightly sweet tip, you could enjoy these all day long. Made from all Dominican long-fillers, Evelio is topped off with a lovely, golden Connecticut-seed wrapper. Silky smooth, mellow, and pleasant - to me, this an enjoyable morning cigar. But with these prices, you could afford these any time of day.

Made by Luciano & Ace Prime Cigars at Tabacalera Pichardo in Nicaragua, which is also the source for a number of Crowned Heads cigars. Fiat Lux is Latin for the biblical phrase, “Let there be light.” But Luciano adds that the reference is closer to the word “enlightened,” as in when you discover “the complexity of flavors” along with “the possibility of introspection” as you smoke. Sounds like heady stuff. Yet the Fiat Lux is far from heady in pleasure.

ACE Prime co-founder Luciano Meirelles rolled Fiat Lux with a dark, high-priming, ACE Prime estate grown Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. Estate grown Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Pueblo Nuevo, Jalapa and Ometepe complete the full-bodied recipe.

The inspiration from the brand’s name can also be seen in the names of the line’s four sizes, all of which come in boxes of 20 cigars. They are Insight, Intuition, Genius, and Acumen. Best suited for cigar smokers with a fair amount of experience, this is one line of cigars you may actually want to savor during a more solitary and uninterrupted session to fully appreciate its complexity. So, add a box of Fiat Lux by Luciano to your cart and... let there be many lights.

The only hesitation that occurred was when I re-evaluated my career in the cigar business after being offered this sorry cigar. I took the maker's word that they're mellow, smooth, and not vomit-inducing. Just to make sure though, I outsourced the tasting process to a trio of palate-challenged dudes across the hall from me. They musta been knee-deep in the sauce because they gave Hesitant Pirate a unanimous thumbs up. I guess the $29.99 per bundle price tag for 20 big Churchills had something to do with it. One thing is for sure: there's no accounting for taste.

In the 1920’s J.C. Newman’s top-selling cigar was a little brand known as “Judge Wright.” Back then, the line had a simple slogan, “A fair trial will give a verdict in favor of this cigar.” Now, I’ve got to be honest. My experience with any sort of court is limited to Judge Judy and Law and Order reruns. However, if I were a judge, I’d throw anyone who didn’t like this cigar out, as they must be insane.

This cigar is a straight up value, and I’d recommend getting in early and often. Judge Wright is a Nicaraguan puro with a Sun Grown wrapper, but unlike some similar blends, this one stays smooth and medium-bodied throughout. The ‘Cuban sandwich’ blend has great flavors of earth, leather, and slight spice. There’s nothing else I can say here, Judge Wright is a great everyday cigar. Case dismissed.

Pennies compared to the continuously rising prices of their full-flavored Dominican counterpart, but eerily similar in flavor and quality. Expect solid construction and a full-bodied, complex taste that’s highly enjoyable and highly affordable. This Cuban sandwich style blend is the easiest way to keep your humidor chockfull of awesome handmades.

But along with their rich history comes an even richer price tag – and retail prices over $20+ each. At hand is a very close second, for about one tenth of the price. Enjoy this mellow, yet rich, Connecticut-wrapped beauty featuring aged Dominican long-fillers and a balanced profile. 

Hailing from the My Father factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, La Mission du L’Atelier is the strongest blend yet for L’Atelier. Coming dressed in a Mexican San Andres wrapper over Nicaraguan long-fillers, including the revered Sancti Spiritus leaf, the cigar is stunning in appearance. Medium to full-bodied, and box-pressed with a pigtail cap, the cigar includes robust notes of chocolate, pepper, coffee, leather and wood, and boasts complexity and depth of flavor.
