Perfect Smokes for the Holidays
December 2024 Cigar Society Newsletter | Perfect Cigars for Holidays
Welcome cigar lovers! Our Cigar Society is all about bringing you the most exceptional cigars the world has to offer. This month, we’re thrilled to feature two incredible cigars that represent artistry, heritage, and exclusivity: the E.P. Carrillo 15-Year Anniversary and the Arturo Fuente 858 Sungrown. These rare treasures are just what every aficionado will appreciate.
E.P. Carrillo 15-Year Anniversary
The Legacy of E.P. Carrillo
When you light up an E.P. Carrillo cigar, you’re experiencing the work of one of the most respected figures in the cigar world: Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. Known as the “Godfather of Boutique Cigars,” has a storied history dating back to his days crafting the legendary La Gloria Cubana. With the launch of E.P. Carrillo in 2009, he focused on blending cigars that combine tradition with innovation, creating unforgettable smoking experiences.
Why This Cigar is Special
The 15-Year Anniversary celebrates the company’s milestone of crafting world-class cigars for over a decade and a half. This limited-edition release features a stunning blend of carefully aged tobaccos, culminating in a medium-to-full-bodied masterpiece. Expect notes of cocoa, cedar, espresso, and a hint of spice, all wrapped in a flawless wrapper.
The 15-Year Anniversary isn’t just a smoke—it’s a celebration of excellence. Its limited nature means getting your hands on one is a rare opportunity, and we’re proud to offer it this month to our Cigar Society members.
Arturo Fuente 858 Sungrown
The Fuente Family Tradition
Arturo Fuente is a name synonymous with cigar royalty. Established in 1912, this family-owned company has spent over a century crafting cigars that are the epitome of luxury and quality. Every Arturo Fuente cigar represents generations of passion and craftsmanship, and the 858 Sungrown is no exception.
Off Allocation: A Rare Treat
The Arturo Fuente 858 Sungrown is a coveted cigar that has been so carefully allocated, making it a highly sought-after find. Known for its rich flavor profile and exquisite construction, the 858 Sungrown is wrapped in a rare Ecuadorian Sungrown wrapper that delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Inside, a meticulously aged blend of Dominican tobaccos adds complexity with notes of earth, nuts, and a touch of cream.
Why is this a big deal? Allocations are how premium cigar companies control distribution to ensure exclusivity. The fact that we have this cigar now—after it was unavailable for so long—is a testament to our dedication to bringing the very best to our members.
