Frank Llaneza 1961 Cigars

We're always happy to see Mike, our Altadis rep, and today was no exception. He spent most of the day with helping us set up new displays that arrived. The boxes you see are from the special "Operation Hope"

The new Frank Llaneza 1961 Cigars were on the list
of new cigars that have arrived and are presented in handsome boxes. One of the nicest presentations of cigars we've seen.

Within a few minutes of them arriving they were being smoked. They say the "Proof is in the Pudding" and as you can see by the photo below this Frank Llaneza 1961 was being enjoyed!

Thanksgiving Tastings

It's a tough job but someone has to do it. Tasting new cigars that is. I had the pleasure today of meeting with our sales rep, Joaquin, from Oliveros cigars in the shop today. One of the nicest people in the business Joaquin always has a ready smile and is happy to take the time to speak to customers about the world of fine cigars. We're introducing a new line from Oliveros and Joaquin invited me to taste test their new Mango Margarita and Vodka Cranberry once more. Both these flavors tantalized me. Definitely  winners out of the gate! Look for them soon on our website and join in the Margarita Ville fun! Flavored cigars aren't for everyone but if you've never tried one you just may find a enjoyable surprise waiting for you in these infused long leaf filler premium smokes. Perfect for a quick light smoke or leisurely after dinner one. These are also great cigars to have on hand to offer guests during the holidays.

Cain Cigars by Sam Leccia

Cain cigars, which feature triple fermented ligero leaf, are Sam Leccia's newest blending. The magic begins in the fermentation process and doesn't stop until the last tendril of smoke disappears.

A Daniel Marshall Exclusive for Bonita Smoke Shop

Bonita Smoke Shop has been an Authorized Retailer of Daniel Marshall Humidors since our store first opened. Our goal then, as it is now, was to feature the finest quality cigar humidors made and Daniel Marshall's line has consistently won rave reviews, not only from Cigar Aficionado, but from our satisfied customers. We asked Mr. Marshall if he would design a very special one for our 18th year in business. He has created a stunning Macassar Ebony that exceeded our expectations! This is a Limited Edition "Treasure Chest" (which received a coveted A+ in Cigar Aficionado) in the rare precious Macassar wood. Each of the Macassar Ebony Treasure Chests, which will hold up to 150 cigars, will have Mr. Marshall's signature in it and will only be available at our store. Thank you for choosing us to be the showcase for this stunning humidor Mr. Marshall!

Here is the first picture we saw of it as it arrived at Daniel Marshall's offices. Delivery to us is expected this week so please call for further details. A humidor that legends are made of!

Thank you Mr. Marshall.

New and Noteworthy

It was a busy week at the Bonita Smoke Shop with new shipments arriving almost daily. 

One of the best cigar cutters on the market, Palio Cigar Cutters, came in and are now up on display in the store and on the internet. This is one you'll want on hand to ensure your cigar is cut smoothly with no frayed ends.

Update. Room101 cigars are gaining a large following. Especially blended by Camacho cigars this is a luxurious medium bodied cigar comprised of tobaccos from both Honduras and the Dominican Republic. The wrapper is a Semilla 101 that was exclusively grown for Camacho. These are available, like many of our premium cigars either singly, in specially priced five packs and full boxes. 

If you haven't tried a Don Pepin My Father Cigars yet then now is the time to! Rated a 93 in Cigar Aficionado.  Made from specially selected tobacco grown at the most prestigious farms in Esteli, Nicaragua by "My Father Cigars S.A." the cigars are manufactured under the most strictest supervision and consist of the best Habano-Rosado wrapper for an excellent taste.Treat yourself!
