Come check out what we have available. Our last box of Opusx Impossible 13, this will not last long. 😲

We also have only one, Arturo Fuente: Since 1912 book, The New York-based publisher will release a new coffee table book dedicated to Arturo Fuente next month. Entitled Arturo Fuente: Since 1912, the massive tome charts the history of the revered brand and attempts to illustrate why it’s still going strong over a century after its founding.

Those with only a passing knowledge of ci**rs have probably heard that the finest hail from Cuba, but true aficionados know they can be found elsewhere. For proof of this, all you need to do is look at (and smell) the top-notch, hand-rolled smokes Arturo Fuente has produced since it was founded in West Tampa, Fla., in 1912. A lot has happened since that humble beginning, though. The brand relocated to the Dominican Republic, a country it has become synonymous with, and has become one of the largest family-owned cigar companies in the world, rolling some 30 million stogies per year. It’s little wonder there was enough material for a whole book. Stop down today and check this stuff out!

Article taking from www.cigaraficionado.com

Rodriguez joined General in January of 2000 as a sales rep when the company was still owned by Edgar M. Cullman’s Culbro Corp. Five years later, he was given the opportunity to learn the to***co end of the business, training under industry veterans such as Benjamin Menendez, Daniel Núñez and Ernesto Perez-Carrillo.
The training brought him to Team La Gloria in 2008, the group of blenders behind General’s La Gloria Cubana brand.
When General acquired CAO in 2009, Rodriguez stepped into the role of blender and brand ambassador for all CAO lines. For the past 13 years, he’s been inextricably linked with CAO, working alongside the team in Nicaragua where CAOs are produced. His concepts for CAO have included Amazon Basin, the Arcana Series, CAO Bones and CAO Flathead, a squarely-pressed smoke that was named Cigar Aficionado’s No. 3 cigar of 2015, for the V660 Carb size.
“This job has been a dream come true for me and so much of it seems like fate. From the moment Edgar Cullman Sr. offered me the job to study under the company’s cigar masters, I knew how lucky I was,” Rodriguez said. “When I write my life story, and maybe now I will, my time in the cigar business will be a huge part of that story.”
His last day with the company will be April 29.
General Cigar Co. is owned by parent company Scandinavian To***co Group, which is based in Denmark.

Rick and the team selected a Mexican San Andres wrapper for the blend which also includes a Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and a bold selection of Nicaraguan and Dominican ligero to***cos.

They then gave each of the filler leaves an abbreviated fermentation to lock in the to***co’s native characteristics and added a secondary aging process to the filler to bring everything together. The result is a cigar with a medium to medium-full profile brimming with distinctive molasses and leather notes, this time with even more depth and complexity.
