    I'd be curious to see what Leccia Tobacco has coming out. They always produce some good sticks.

    Looking forward to all the lancero's that appear to be making a comeback. The new 'S' cutter from Colibri looks interesting as well.

    I too am VERY interested in the S cut design.  Looks like a spring loaded Xikar Ultra Slim (my favorite cutter so far).  Digging the ideal of ball bearings to keep the blades tighter together.

    This isn't new, but we just bought the last remaining inventory of the AVO Hertiage Lanceros. Real nice if your into the smaller rings.

    I tried the S cutter about a week ago when Les and Jimmy from Colibri stopped by. Really nice. Heavier and bigger than the Xikar Ultra Slim but it does cut extra crispy, and that what really counts. I'll get some close ups when the floor opens tomorrow.

    It's called El Gringo and It's strong. All Nicaraguan with a little Pennsylvania broadleaf in the fillers. Sizes are very cool. Good buy.

    Sounds like it'd be right up my alley, thanks for the info Bryan.

    Been catching up on the coverage over at halfwheel.com and I'd say there's a half dozen+ new cigars I'm looking forward to.

    Any chance we'll see an ICPCR "new release" type sampler from CCOM?
    (Maybe one that includes --- Davidoff Escurio, CAO Pilon, LFD La Nox, RomaCraft Neanderthal) :D

    Yes we're working on a sampler for a few months down the road. A lot of this stuff they show isn't ready to ship right away. Just to give you a little back story on some of the blends you mention...

    Davidoff (company policy no sampler inclusion)

    CAO Pilon (this will be in there for sure, really good blend)

    LFD (can't get enough to run in a sampler)

    RomaCraft (they aren't big on selling to us online folks at this point)

    A few more I have my eye on and really enjoyed.

    -Undercrown Shade

    -AB Tempus Nicaragua

    -RP Sungrown Maduro

    -Dunhill Heritage

    And more you'll have to wait and see...

    Thanks for all the info Bryan, will keep an eye out for the CCOM sampler.

    There were certainly a lot of great cigars there this year. Will certainly take awhile to filter through them all....but half wheel did a nice job covering many of the tasty new cigars.

    Did any of you guys try the "new" Espinoza Murcielago?

    I did. It's been a couple years since I had the old one (which I really liked). The sample I had at the show had a lot of power but was a little young. That said, it showed a lot of promise. It's tough to take a cigar made by Pepin and recreate it, even if you know all the components (due to the fermentation methods that factories don't often share). I do think Erik did a fantastic job with 601 keeping the blends as close as possible so I trust Murcielago will be the same with a little age.


    Hope that helps.

    We should have it up for sale in a week or two if you want to pick up a single or 5-pack.

    This isn't new, but we just bought the last remaining inventory of the AVO Hertiage Lanceros. Real nice if your into the smaller rings.

    Good price too.
    Weekend Blitz on these Avo Heritage lanceros. Review sounds solid. Wish I had room in the coolidor...oh wait, I still have a couple empty tupperadors lying around.
