Summer Time Smokes
Cigar Society Newsletter June 2025
Hello friends! Welcome to another edition of our Cigar Society Newsletter. Our June lineup brings three standout cigars that celebrate heritage, masterful blending, and bold innovation.
1. El Rey del Mundo – Appointment
This new release is more than just a cigar—it’s a moment. Aptly named Appointment, this Honduran-crafted gem from El Rey del Mundo is designed for those who understand the significance of selecting the right cigar for the right occasion.
Why It Made the Cut:
- Wrapped in a rare Cameroon leaf grown in Honduran soil at the famed Aladino farm
- Creamy smoke with mild pepper and herbal notes—perfect for a morning or early afternoon session
Pairing Tip: Try this one with a cup of Ethiopian coffee or a Jefferson’s Ocean to highlight its subtle complexity.
2. La Gloria Cubana – Los Gloriosos
Bold, rich, and celebratory, Los Gloriosos from La Gloria Cubana lives up to its name—“The Glorious Ones.” Blended by cigar legend Ernesto Perez Carrillo, this cigar is a tribute to tradition and luxury.
Why It Made the Cut:
- Crafted at Casa Carrillo using aged tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic
- Rich, earthy flavor profile with espresso, cocoa, and a whisper of spice
- Each stick is meticulously hand-rolled for consistency and craftsmanship
Pairing Tip: Best enjoyed with a Macallan Scotch or espresso martini. Light a Los Gloriosos when the day calls for celebration—or when you simply want it to.
3. Partagas – Y Nada Mas
Translated as “And Nothing Else,” Y Nada Mas from Partagas embodies elegance with an edge. This medium-bodied Dominican blend is for the modern cigar lover who appreciates both heritage and bold design.
Why It Made the Cut:
- Features a unique blend of Piloto, Corojo, Ecuadorian, and Broadleaf tobaccos
- Stylish and complex with earthy undertones, ideal for midday or evening smoking
Pairing Tip: A High West Double Rye whiskey or bold Tempranillo will mirror this cigar’s depth and flair.
