In this next week, we will be hosting three tasting events that should bring to you cigars to excite any palate.

Tuesday, May 19th:

We will welcome Litto Gomez from La Flor Dominicana to De La Concha from 12:00pm-2:00pm. During these special two hours Litto will showcase his new creation, El Museo, which some say could be the best cigar he has ever blended. This limited edition cigar comes in boxes of 24 and is designed by the great Cuban-American artist Ruben Toledo. Only 2,000 boxes were produced and we will have 6 at the show and they are all signed by the artist. So come in and meet a cigar legend and pick up one or more of “El Museo” and enjoy this work of art while giving back to the art community, a portion of all proceeds will go to El Museo del Barrio a non-profit charity.

It is always our pleasure to host a tasting event. It gives us an opportunity to showcase a cigar that should be tried and it gives you an opportunity to try a cigar that you might not have smoked before. It also gives you time to speak directly to the rep of the brand to learn more about the products offered by that company.

On Wednesday, April 22nd from noon until 7:00pm, we shall host such a tasting. On that day we will be showcasing the Zino Platinum Crown and Scepter cigars. These cigars, named for the founder of the Davidoff brand, are blends of Dominican and Peruvian tobaccos, which are aged for over four years. The tobaccos are then combined with a binder from Connecticut and finished with a Connecticut Ecuador wrapper. The result is a unique and dynamic taste. When you come to take advantage of this event, you can expect special deals to await you. We will also have a raffle and our lovely model will be on hand to answer questions and cut your cigars.

Dunhill Pipe Show: Dec 10 and 11

Posted by migrantblogger on December 5, 2008

dunhill

We are pleased and excited to announce our upcoming annual Dunhill Pipe Show. For all our pipe-smoking customers and for those who have considered joining the Fellowship Of The Briar, this show is the pinnacle of the year. It was around 1910 when Alfred Dunhill discovered the way to cure and season fine briar, creating a perfect smoking instrument. This process of curing was laborious and expensive and the first Dunhill Pipes were about twice the price of other pipes of the day. However, because of the excellent smoking qualities of these pipes, the Dunhill store could barely meet the demand. The Dunhill pipe has been consistently prized ever since.
