IPCPR Day 4

July 21, 2015

It is sadly the last day here at the 2015 IPCPR.  We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we did a lot of different bodily functions.  The buyers have done a great job picking up the best products for our customers and ensuring they will be delivered to our warehouse promptly.  On this the final day, let us take a look at some more amazing products you can expect from JR Cigar.

La Mission du L’Atelier- Inspired by a famous French winery, Pete Johnson is rolling out another great smoke from L’Atelier Imports.  This year he is debuting the La Mission.  It is wrapped in a dark Mexican San Andres wrapper and includes the very limited Sancti Spiritus leaf, made famous by Pepin Garcia of My Father.  It is available in 3 different sizes that correspond to famous vintages from the winery: The 1959 (4 ¾ x52), the 1989 (5 5/8 x 54) and the 2009 (6 ½ x 52).  The MSRP will be $8, $9, and $10 respectively.  Be careful with the cork!!!

My Father Centurion H-2K-CT- I know this cigar sounds like it has a government designation, but what it truly has is some amazing flavor.  It is the same filler and binder as the previous Centurion, but now with a unique and spicy new wrapper.  It’s a hybrid Habano wrapper that’s actually grown in Connecticut.  It truly shows you that not everything out of that state is light and creamy.  This cigar is medium to full with a great mix of spicy and sweet.  Its available in 2 box press vitolas: A corona for $7.10 and a Toro for $8.10.

Murcielago By Erik Espinosa- My dear friend Erik is bring back an old favorite.  The Murcielago line was originally made by his previous company United tobacco.  He is now bringing it back with a vengeance.  It features a dark, oily, Mexican San Andres wrapper that’s exceedingly rich and flavorful.  Its filler and binder is made from choice Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos and of course it is all rolled at his La Zona factory in Esteli.  It will be available in 3 distinct sizes: the Noir (5 x 52), the La Lune (6 1/2 x 54) and the Nocturne (5 1/2 x 56).   Its time to let the bat out of the cave!
