Quesada Tributo Cigars Have Arrived

Tributo means tribute in Spanish, and this particular release is a tribute to four men either from or very close to the Quesada family who have passed. The Quesada Tributo was released in May by Matasa Cigars. Matasa (Manufactura de Tabacos S.A.), is owned and run by the Quesada family and headed by Manuel Quesada. The Tributo will be just the second cigar from Matasa to carry the Quesada moniker, with the previously released Quesada 35th Anniversary being the first to do so in 2009. The cigar is set to have a filler blend of tobacco from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua. It will also have a Nicaraguan Ligero binder. Topping it off will be a special wrapper composed of an Ecuadorian hybrid leaf that somewhat resembles the popular Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper.

Illusione Nosotros Have Arrived

Although listed as an Illusione brand cigar, the Nosotros is actually a combined effort by Illusione creator Dion Giolito and Drew Estate’s Jonathan Drew. Dion says that the Nosotros started with a meeting between himself and Jonathan Drew on a trip to Nicaragua. Jonathan Drew had introduced him to some interesting tobaccos and blends that Dion was interested in experimenting with. The cigars formal release has been set back twice since it's pre release at the 2009 IPCPR. That led to the Nosotros partnership. He describes it as full-bodied and rich with a sneaky strength that gradually hits you with a velvet hammer.

BRICKHOUSE BASH A SUCCESS
David Ludwig of J.C. Newman was at The Squire on February 24th, for the Brickhouse Bash. The event was a presentation and tasting of the Brickhouse and El Baton cigars, both newly added to our inventory. Although the weather turned sour, and it was snowing outside, patrons braved the elements and turned out for the event. There was also a bourbon tasting, which made most tasters forget the chilly weather. It was a great evening, and thanks to all who came out on a bad night to join friends and enjoy some good smokes.
