My Favorite Sticks

Posted on Thursday, June 10, 2010 in Informational

I get several requests for ‘what are your favorites’ each week, so I’ve gone ahead and created a short list. This is by no means a ‘Top’ list, simply what MY personal taste favs happen to be at the moment. If you find yourself agreeing with the flavors I tend to get from sticks, I would suggest you try all of these!

In no particular order:

Arturo Fuente Anejo
CAO Black
El Primer Mundo Rosado
El Titan De Bronze Redemption Maduro
Mi Barrio
Old Henry
Padron 1964
Pinar Del Rio Seleccion Reserva Limitada
Esteban Carrera
San Cristobal Lancero
Sir Vin Cigars Merlin’s Magic

El Primer Mundo Connecticut Robusto Cigar Review

Posted on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 in Cigar Reviews

El Primer Mundo Connecticut Robusto Cigar Review

This 5×50 box pressed stick offers a medium tan wrapper with no visible veins, tight seams and an even slightly spongy give with a faint peppery tobacco aroma. First light reveals a perfect draw with tons of rich almost chewy smoke production. Flavors come out as a slightly sweet nut with a hint of peppery tobacco and a long oily finish. The first third pulls the initial flavors to a creamy nut and a slightly peppery note that builds on the long finish. The 2nd third transitions to a light creamy leather and the finish drops the tobacco for more of the leather and pepper. The last third continues the perfect construction, bringing back the nut flavor, the whole stick being a solid medium body with no real power kick, just a flavorful anytime Connecticut experience. The ash held on to the 1/2 way point then to the top of the band with the total smoke time ending at 1:15. Thank you very much to El Primer Mundo Cigars for donating this sample for review!

Atlanta, GA — May 17, 2010 — Primer Mundo Cigar Company’s agreement with Los Blancos Cigar Company to sell and distribute Primer Mundo’s line of premium boutique cigars will expire on June 27th of this year. Primer Mundo Cigar Company is preparing to market, sell and distribute their current and future offerings independently to retailers throughout the country.

Primer Mundo has enjoyed a solid relationship with Los Blancos over the last few years and looks forward to continuing with a solid working relationship going forward. Primer Mundo Cigar Company’s current line of cigars will continue to be produced at Nestor Plasencia’s Segovia Factory in Esteli, Nicaragua through our current arrangement with Los Blancos Cigar Company.

Primer Mundo cigars have been on the market for four years in limited distribution and as the line expands its reach and offerings it is imperative that we continue to build and strengthen our brand identity. This requires a more hands on approach to our sales and distribution model as well as other initiatives. In this current cigar market driven by informed, discerning, and active consumers Primer Mundo Cigar Company is committed to providing the best cigar smoking experience possible. To do this we will continue to engage with our consumers at the grass roots level while providing solid support to our retailers.

Primer Mundo Cigar Company currently offers three lines: Black Label(Rosado Oscuro), Red Label(Criollo Maduro), and Blue Label(Connecticut Shade). We are looking forward to the release of a new line in the next few months and new lancero vitolas for our Black and Red Labels.

Please feel free to contact Sean Williams directly at 404-542-6914 with any questions. We appreciate your interest in the Primer Mundo line and we look forward to communicating with you in the future.

Primer Mundo Habano Criollo Maduro Cigar Review

Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 in Cigar Reviews

Primer Mundo Habano Criollo Maduro Cigar Review

This 5×50 box press stick offers a mottled, oily satin wrapper with a dark chocolate hue, minimal viens, smooth seams and a tight press. The aroma is of a mild sweet tobacco. First light reveals a draw on the firm side, a very smooth silky smoke, although light on production. Flavors are a medium bodied slightly peppery tobacco. There is a heavy slight bitterness to it, not unpleasant, much like a bitter chocolate experience. The stick proved to be extremely consistent, holding the exact same flavors from start to finish at the 1 hour mark. Thank you very much to Primer Mundo Cigars for sending this for review!

El Primer Mundo Rosado Oscuro Cigar Review

Posted on Sunday, February 21, 2010 in Cigar Reviews

El Primer Mundo Rosado Oscuro Cigar Review

This 5×50 box pressed stick presents a dark chocolate, slightly toothy wrapper showing minimal veins with tight seams and construction. The aroma is a sweet and peppery tobacco. Medium-full body, the flavors in the first third were smooth and rich giving a complex blend of a mild pepper, chocolate, light leather and cream with a touch of aged tobacco. Smoke output was excellent producing a huge, almost chewy volume with an absolutely effortless draw. Flavor remained consistent to the last couple inches where they transitioned to a creamy dry roasted coffee and touch of pepper with a long finish. Body and strength by the last third were a solid medium-full giving a slight rush. Total burn time was 1:10 to the nub. Thank you very much to Primer Mundo Cigar Co. for donating this sample for review! Photography by BG Pictures.
