General Cigar president Daniel Nunez, a native Dominican, has been devoted to the creation of a Dominican puro for more than a decade and finally has it in the Cohiba Puro Dominicana. It includes leaves from several of General’s Dominican farms. The unique flavor comes, in part, from aging of leaves in charcoaled wooden barrels and is described as “smooth” and “ultra-refined.” It comes in five sizes at retail prices of $13.50 to $20.50 each. Wynne blended this tobacco to create a flavorful and medium-bodied blend in four shapes in boxes of 20, with pricing from $5.00 to $12.00 per cigar. Sosa left Cuba and eventually started making cigars. His newest release is medium in body and features a Nicaraguan-grown Corojo wrapper, Dominican binder and Honduran filler in six sizes. Like all Sosa products, the prices are as agreeable as the cigars, with suggested retail prices from $3.2 to $5.50 each. Housed in a gold-colored box which resembles a gold bar in shape, the Holiday Press has a flat bottom (think of a tongue depressor), two short sides and then two longer sides that meet in a plateau at the top. Strange? Yes, but wild and well made. The blend is the same as in the popular C.A.O. l’Anniversaire Cameroon line, but the Holiday Press are six inches long by 71 ring gauge along the bottom. It’s not too wildly priced, however, at $8.60 per cigar, not including local taxes. There were plenty of other highlights and we’ll have more tomorrow from what may be the last IPCPR show in Las Vegas for a long time thanks to recently-passed smoking bans which will be more strictly enforced in the future.
