Here's a great way to add on to your cigar collection without having to worry about finding any extra room.  We have a Prometheus God of Fire 15th Anniversary humidor (RED SYCAMORE) with 360 Aged God of Fire cigars. 

 

With the limited edition humidor, you get:

 

Total for the humidor and 360 cigars: $11,900.00

 

 

 

Cigars this innovative are few and far between.  Hub cigars are based on the principle that cigars don't hit their "sweet spot" till the last 3 to 4 inches.  For that very reason you won't find a single Nub cigar longer than 4 inches.  There are three blends of Nub, each featuring one size only available in that particular line.

 

 

 

Nub Habano is the fullest bodied blend of the three.  The Nicaraguan Habano wrapper adds a punch to the Nicaraguan filler/binder blend.  The Nub Habano 466 is exclusive to the line.

 

 

Nub Connecticut is the mildest of the three lines.  Don't let the Connecticut-seed Ecuadorian wrapper fool you, though.  The Nub Connecticut delivers an amazing amount of flavor and complexity.  Tha smallest ring gauge they make, the 354, is only available in the Nub Connecticut line.

 

 

The Nub Cameroon delivers rich notes of cedar and coffee.  They smoke medium bodied and have a distinct character.  You'll only find the 466BPT (Box Pressed Torpedo) in the Nub Cameroon. 

This year's AVO birthday cigar should be shipping mid-April.  Send us an email to be notified upon their arrival.

 

 

If you thought Davidoff Millennium cigars are full bodied with lots of complexity just wait till you try the new Davidoff Millennium Lancero.  The 7 1/4 x 40 Lancero is the perfect size to deliver the exquisite flavors and robust strength Davidoff's Millennium blend is known for.  The new Davidoff Millennium Lancero comes in boxes of 10.  Singles go for $17.75 and a box is $175.

 

DAVIDOFF MILLENNIUM LANCEROS are in stock right now!

 

La Flor Dominicana announced the addition of the DL-654 to their full bodied line of Double Ligero cigars.  The DL-654 measures, of course, 6 x 54.  Singles are $7.35 and a box of 20 goes for $135.   We now have full boxes and single cigars of the new La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero DL-654 in stock.

 

"Sometimes you just need a powerful corona to make your day right, and it's hard to find a better choice than the Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles.  This 4 5/8-inch x 42-ring cigar is crammed with strong black cherry, spice and leather, and the finish is a mile long.  We found it the strongest of the six-size Havana VI line, and our favorite of the bunch. 

Original Tatuajes, which were made in Miami, are hard to find, given their limited production.  Havana VIs, the "red label" versions, are made in Nicaragua and easier to find.  They're also cheaper, thanks to the lower cost of labor in Nicaragua.  As with all Tatuajes, these are made by Jose "Pepin" Garcia."

We are extremely happy to announce the arrival of Don Pepin Garcia Cigars to Jack Schwartz Importer.  Mr. Garcia is making some of the most exciting, talked about cigars available right now.  When he's not working on Tatuaje, Cabaiguan, or San Cristobal cigars he's making his very own blends.  Right now we're carrying three lines by Pepin Garcia:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 DON PEPIN GARCIA BLUE LABEL

 

The Blue Label is a rich, full bodied cigar with a Nicaraguan filler/binder blend. The wrapper is a Corojo Oscuro that adds excellent aroma and a wonderful complexity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DON PEPIN GARCIA BLACK EDITION 

 

This medium-to-full bodied cigar comes in six sizes. The filler/binder is all Nicaraguan and the wrapper is a Habano Rosado.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Litto Gomez of La Flor Dominicana just announced a special Limited Release cigar due out in mid-November.  The La Flor Dominicana 2007 Limited Release Factory Press II is the same size as the original Factory Press II (6 1/4 x 54), however the blend has been changed.  This Limited Release Factory Press II will have Dominican filler from Litto's farm in La Canela, the binder will be Nicaraguan instead of the Sumatra on the original Factory Press II.  The wrapper is a beautiful Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro as opposed to the Nicaraguan Oscuro Litto uses on the original Factory Press II. 

The La Flor Dominicana 2007 Limited Release Factory Press II comes boxed in a factory press of 12 cigars.  Litto only made 1500 boxes of these Limited Release cigars.  They are due to start shipping in mid-November.

 

 

 

 

These beautiful, Cameroon wrapped cigars are available in boxes of 8.  There are four different styles of tubos in the box.  Prometheus' God of Fire Carlito, Double Robusto tubo is set for release in November.  Right now we're taking Pre-Orders for them. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have small amounts of La Flor Dominicana Culebra cigars trickling in.  We now have a few La Flor Dominicana Culebra Especial Maduros in the shop right now.  There are three versions of Culebra cigars from La Flor Dominicana. 

 

The La Flor Dominicana Culebra Especial Maduro has two Natural versions and one Maduro version.  These are what we have in the shop right now.

 

The La Flor Dominicana Culebra Especial Natural has all three in a Natural version.  These should be coming in some time in late October.

 

Finally, the La Flor Dominicana Culebra Gorda is a slightly larger version with a Cameroon wrapper.  It looks like the Culebra Gorda should be here around early November. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new Padron 7000 is here.  We have both the Natural and Maduro versions available right now.  The new Padron 7000 measures 6 1/4 x 60 with singles going for $6.50 and boxes of 26 for $152.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have some very elegant cigar pocket cases from Ashton.  There are four styles to choose from, each available in three sizes. 

 

 

 

 

The three sizes available are:

 

ROBUSTO

 

CORONA GORDA

 

CHURCHILL

 

Each can hold up to a 54 ring gauge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Lizard and the Jungle have a little more flare to them, while the Embossed and the Matte are a soft black leather.

 

 

 

 

 

Cigar Pocket Case

 We now have Savoy leather 3-Finger Cigar Pocket Cases.  These pocket cases come in three sizes.  The Robusto and Double Corona sizes will accomodate up to a 54 ring gauge, while the Immensa can take up to a 56.  Savoy pocket cases have soft leather so they will hold your cigars firm without crushing them.  Did we mention, they're only $33.

Just like the melting pot of the United States, the CAO America is a melting pot of tobacco. The filler is 100% ligero from the United States, Italy, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. The binder is Brazilian. The "pinstripe" wrapper leaves are Connecticut Shade and Connecticut Broad Leaf Maduro.

 

There are three sizes of the CAO America available:

 

Landmark (6 x 60)

Monument (6 1/4 x 54)

Potomic (5 x 56)

 

Right now we are offering OpusX cigar singles from Prometheus' BBMF and Royal 8 Sets.  We have single OpusX BBMF, Lancero, Reserva d'Chateau, and Royal 8's.  You can still get the BBMF and Royal 8 Sets but if you're looking to pick up just a cigar or two this is the way to get an OpusX.

 

Two new sizes we added to the Cuesta Rey Sun Grown line.  The #55 measures 6 1/2 x 55 and smokes full bodied with a smooth draw.  The Cortez, a 5 1/2 x 48 in a glass tube, is the perfect size to discover the full body and flavor of a Cuesta Rey Sun Grown cigar.

 

Hoyo de Tradicion is a new and unique blend that takes select tobaccos from Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic and brings them together to create a complex, medium bodied smoke. The filler is a blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Honduran tobaccos that provide hints of sweetness. The Honduran Viso Rosado wrapper brings a hint of spice that really adds to the overall complexity.

Here are a few new items we just started to carry.  On our last "What's New" posting we featured the HeaterHolder.  Here are a few other useful items for the golf course.

 

Little Judy Divot Tool/Cigar Holder

 

 

Cigar Minder

 

 

 

Here is a great new golf accessory we just discovered.  The HeaterHolder is a stainless steel cigar holder that snaps on to the rain hood snaps on your golf bag.  Because it is attached to a snap the HeaterHolder will actually rotate while the bag moves, thus keeping your cigar perfectly balanced and off the turf. 

This cigar holder is different than many other holders as it keeps your cigar far from the grass and all the fertalizers and chemicals.   

The new Litto Gomez Small Batch No. 2 is due out some time in September. The filler and binder are all Dominican grown on La Flor's farm. The wrapper is Sumatra Seed grown in the Dominican Republic. Litto personally goes over the selection process and picks only the best-of-the-best tobaccos for his Small Batch cigars. The new version's production is at 30,000 cigars coming in cabinets of 105. That means about 285 boxes available world wide.

 

When Litto Gomez of La Flor Dominicana told us he was going to make a second edition of the Limitado we asked him if he could set aside some so we could have a few extras after they were all gone.  Well Litto took it a step further and set aside the finest cigars from each days batch.  By the end of the rolling for the Limitado II Litto had set aside 1,000 cigars.  These cigars sat in his humidor in the Dominican Republic for over a year.  When the last boxes of original Limitado II's were shipped Litto asked what we wanted to do with the cigars he had set aside.  There were no Limitado II boxes or bands left so we asked Litto to make up a special box of 20 original release Limitado II's.   Litto personally packed and autographed the boxes.  The result is an autographed box of 20 original production La Flor Dominicana Limitado II with over a year of age on them.  We have 25 boxes of these and are offering both singles and boxes.

 

Davidoff's 2007 Limited Edition release is an aromatic, full bodied, all Dominican robusto.  That's right, a Dominican puro from Davidoff.  They worked for years to grow a flavorful, pristine Dominican wrapper leaf.  Once they could grow the right tobacco they harvested and stored the wrapper leaf for 3 years, allowing for full maturation of the Dominican tobacco.  Davidoff's limited edition cigars always go fast.  We're expecting a shipment around mid-August.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only 1,000 of these limited edition lighters were produced to celebrate Prometheus' 15 years in business.  This is one of their special travel lighters.  The lighter comes in a set that includes 4 God of Fire Carlito, Double Robusto 2005 Tubo cigars.  Price for the lighter and cigars is $175.

Ashton trademarked the San Cristobal name in the 1980's and just never found the right cigar to pair with the name.  That was until they teamed-up with cigar master, Jose "Pepin" Garcia.  Pepin Garcia has been making some of the most sought-after cigars on the market today. 

The San Cristobal is a Nicaraguan puro that features a dark, oily Nicaraguan wrapper and a rich, full-bodied smoke.  Garcia used his 30 years of Cuban cigar knowledge to create a perfect balance of strength and complexity.  Ashton describes the San Cristobal as possessing, "hearty notes of earth, cedar and spices accompanied by lighter notes of walnuts and dark chocolate."

San Cristobal comes 22 to a box with 6 sizes available.  According to Ashton San Cristobal should be shipping to retailers in August.  The first years production will total 300,000 cigars.

 

 

 

We're proud to announce the addition of a new Toro size format to Davidoff's popular line of Millennium blend cigars.  The new Davidoff Millennium Toro measures 6 x 50 and sells for $18.00/cigar and $180 for a box of 10. 

According to Davidoff our last shipment of Davidoff 100th Anniversary Robusto was the last they had in the warehouse.  We have about 30 boxes left on the shelves right now. 

We also believe the 100th Anniversary Diadimas Finas are starting to run low.  We'll post more information once we know more.   

The 2007 release of God of Fire cigars is here.  This year's release is highlighted by new packaging and some new cigars.  New to the God of Fire lineup is the Carlito, 2005 Churchill; the Carlito, Piramide 2007; and the Carlito, Tubo. 

 

The Carlito, Tubo and the Carlito, Piramide 2007 will be made available in September and November respectively. 

We have three styles of God of Fire cigars in the shop right now. 

5 1/4 x 50

 

5 3/4 x 52

 

7 x 48

 

 

Davidoff's new light and mild Primeros are the perfect cigar for the connoisseur on the run.  The Petite Panatela format is perfect for someone looking to sample Davidoff's mild, aromatic blends or for the avid smoker who needs a fine cigar in a smaller, less time consuming size. 

Davidoff Primeros come in tins of 6.  They measure 4 1/8 x 34 and sell for $4.25 per cigar and $24.00 for the tin. 

 

Finally, a Robusto size Davidoff in their popular Thousand Series line.  The Davidoff 6000 smokes mild with a highly aromatic aroma.  The larger ring gauge mellows the Davidoff 6000 to a point where it smokes extremely smooth while keeping the flavors true cigar connoisseurs love.

 

Davidoff 6000's are available in boxes of 25.  Singles go for $13.75 and boxes for $337.50.  We are happy to announce that we have the new Davidoff 6000 in stock in both singles and boxes.

 

Jack Schwartz Importer is proud to now carry Cabaiguan and Tatuaje cigars.  Tatuaje cigars are Nicaraguan puros blended and rolled in the El Rey De Los Habanos factory in Little Havana, Miami. Pete Johnson works with Maestro Tobaquero Jose Pepin Garcia to create the blends that make Tatuaje one of the most sought-after brands on the market today.

 

 

Tatuaje cigars come in five different blends, some harder to find than others.

 

Tatuaje Cabinet (Nicaragua)
Tatuaje cigars are Nicaraguan puros blended and rolled in the El Rey De Los Habanos factory in Little Havana, Miami. Pete Johnson works with Maestro Tobaquero Jose Pepin Garcia to create the blends that make Tatuaje one of the most sought-after brands on the market today. The Tatuaje Cabinet line is consisted of a few different blends which are all grouped together under the Cabinet name.

 

Tatuaje Cojonu (Nicaragua)
The Tatuaje Cojonu line features a spicey, aged ligero wrapper. The Cojonu line sports a second band with the year the cigars was introduced; not the year the cigar was rolled, as the Tatuaje Cojonus are being regularly produced. The Gran Cojonu has a slightly different blend and comes unbanded. The Gran Cojonu smokes a bit more mild than the rest of the Cojonu line.

 

Tatuaje Havana VI (Nicaragua)
Unlike the regular Tatuajes, the Tatujae Havana VI is rolled in Nicaragua. The binder is Nicaraguan, the filler is a special Nicaraguan Havana VI blend, and the wrapper is a beautiful Nicaraguan Corojo 99. The Tatuaje Havana VI is available in six sizes. All smoke mild-to-medium bodied.

 

Tatuaje RC (Nicaragua)
The RC stands for Retro Cuban. This line features two foil-wrapped perfectos in a medium bodied blend. The abundant length and the perfecto format give these cigars a full bodied, strong start which then mellows to a smooth, medium bodied finish.

 

Tatuaje Reserva (Nicaragua)
The Tatuaje Reserva line is made in very limited quantities. There are three sizes available, each with its own unique blend. The A Uno and the SW sport a viso wrapper while the J 21 is wrapped in a ligero.

 

Leading up to their 25th anniversary Ashton will be releasing various sizes of their new, limited Estate Sun Grown (ESG) cigars. The Ashton ESG is a powerhouse of strength and flavor. The blend is Dominican but what really makes these cigars so impressive is the Dominican Sun Grown wrapper leaf grown by the Fuente family on their Chateau de la Fuente farm in the Dominican Republic.
The first release was the Ashton ESG Churchill 20. This year’s release is the Ashton ESG Robusto 21. These cigars are extremely limited with very small amounts trickling in.

Please call or email to check availability.

Ashton ESG Churchill 20 6 3⁄4 x 49
Ashton ESG Robusto 21 5 1⁄4 x 52
