Yes its true, demand for our incredible regional editions exclusively made for the UK market in limited edition is at an all time high

I have never quite known so much interest in our cigars as the last 6 months.

Punch Serie D’Oro No.1 (one of my favourites) has more or less sold out by Hunters and Frankau, luckily we have laid in fairly deep stocks so we should be able to supply them for a few more weeks.

La Flor de Cano Short Robustos will I reckon be sold out before they are even released if pre release demand is anything to go by. Sorry to say but if you haven’t pre ordered these cigars you will be at the back of the queue at this stage of the game.

El Rey Choix de L’Epoque are selling like crazy this month and I can’t see them lasting too much longer

Still reasonable stocks of Juan Lopez Seleccion Suprema and La Gloria Cubana Gloriosos

The other cigar that is being hotly pursued and stocks are very low is the 2006 limited edition Cohiba Piramides. I always rated this cigars and a lot of aficionados seem to have suddenly woken up to it.

My opinion? Smoke less but smoke the best and that can only mean EMS (English Market Selection) supplied by Hunters and Frankau. Life’s too short not to smoke only the best cigars 🙂 so check your boxes of cigars – no EMS label ? you need to find a better cigar merchant !

Spent the weekend in New York again and smoked some fabulous Fuente Opus X at Grand Havana Room as well as Club Macanudo, not my usual smoke, granted but I have to admit the construction and appearance was first rate and the blend a very good alternative indeed to my usual Havanas. Variety is the spice of life as they say. I may have to sample a few more over the coming weeks.
