“A boutique cigar maker, cigars vs cigarettes, & Michael Jordan on 6 cigars per day”
Good afternoon,
Today marks the first ever newsletter from CIGARRO — a weekly note on cigars and cigar culture, delivered to your inbox every Sunday afternoon.
Lastest Cigar Reviews:
H. Upmann Magnum 54
Another beautiful smoke from H. Upmann. Smooth, mild (but not too mild), with a sizeable ring gauge. This cigar is approachable with a delicious taste profile.
Eastern Standard — by Caldwell Cigar Company
Caldwell is a new and exciting boutique cigar maker. The Eastern Standard screams “spice”. A lot of spice. There was also hint of pepper and cocoa in this cigar. The draw was smooth and the smoke very full.
What We Wrote:
No — Cigars are not “like cigarettes”
Handmade cigars are a natural product, made of 100% unaltered tobacco… and the production process is impressively artisanal.
What We’re Reading:
Michael Jordan: The Sequel, by Cigar Aficionado
Marvin R. Shanken’s uncut interview with NBA legend Michael Jordan. MJ has 6 cigars a day… yes, 6.
