Erik Espinosa of EO Cigars

It's always a pleasure when "Erik and Eddie", the owners of EO Cigars, stop by and today we had an interesting conversation with Eric about their Murcielago and 601 cigar lines.These boutique brands are made for EO Brands by the famous Senor Pepin Garcia referred to in the Cuban press as a "Magician with cigars"
Erik also has some very good news to tell us about their cigar pricing!

If you've ever wondered what "retro-hale" is you'll see Erik doing that with this Murcielago Belicoso.

Featuring Brickhouse Cigars the day was lots of fun with food and great deals going on. We had the most delicious hot dogs rolls epecially  baked for us and filled them to the brim with hot dogs and too many toppings to list! Cold beer, cold water and hot smoking cigars were on Bonita Smoke Shop's menu today.

Here's a video (sorry for the low sound quality....I need to get an external microphone!) of Bobby and Alan discussing the highly rated new Brickhouse cigar. Rated a 91 by Cigar Aficionado this is one cigar you'll want to put on your "Must Try" list.

Illusione ~MJ12~

What can you say about a great cigar like the Illusione MJ!12? Let's see!

Illusione

MJ12

Where to start with this cigar, first of all it’s a monster.  Not as big as big gets but much bigger than I usually smoke, I tend to gravitate to 50 ring gauge and smaller.  I would have to say my favorite sizes are robustos, coronas, and lanceros but it is good to venture outside of my normal routine and smoke something different.  That being said this big boy looks delicious with it's dark brown silky wrapper and medium veins, its not terribly oily but has a glow to it.

As far as flavor and taste goes I got a metric ton of spice for the first ¼ inch, it kinda felt like horseradish, you know how it gets your nose wide open but the tingle doesn’t last for long.  After that initial hit in the nose the spice mellows into a beautiful citrus and is complimented by a raw nutty and powdered cocoa flavor.  The next taste sensation I get is a weird one but it works very well, pencil shavings, the smell of freshly sharpened pencils.  Like I said I don’t know why it works but it does so seamlessly.  Something else I get that is very hard for me to pick out is tea, I get it more on the palate than the nose but I'm not sure what type of tea it is.  The MJ12 finishes out with a mellow citrus spice, an under tone of earth and leather, and a very bright punch of flavor at the tail end of the retro hale.  I can't put my finger on the last flavor but it reminds me of something vegetal for what its worth.
The MJ12 is a BIG cigar both in flavor and strength.  It is also BIG on value, nice balance between flavor, body, strength, and it smoke with out issue for 2 hours.  This was a perfect companion as I watched the World Cup Celebration and I am sad to see it go up in smoke but it did so in a delectable whirlwind of flavors.  Thank you Dion, thank you.

Nestor Miranda Collection 1989 Cigars Launch Party

Here's a chat with Nestor Miranda at our store, Bonita Smoke Shop, on Saturday, June 5, 2010. He discusses his line of cigars, how they were created, and talks about his latest "Nestor Miranda Collection"....the 1989 cigars.

It was a wonderful Launch Party for his cigar. Cuban sandwiches piled high, fabulous music (you can hear it in the background on this video), pretty Miami Cigar models, a Rum tasting, cold beer and cigars! A special "ThankYou" to all who attended and to our super Cigar Team at Bonita Smoke Shop.

Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Cigars

Jaime Garcia, the son of the Master Blender Pepin Garcia, has created another fantastic new cigar! He's named it "Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Cigars" and we're really excited about it! It's our featured cigar of the week here at Bonita Smoke Shop. A delicious medium to full bodied cigar which is a magnificent blend of Nicaraguan binder and filler with a  mouth watering Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper.

  Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial cigars are made with a superb blending of 2 different kinds of Nicaraguan tobacco. One tobacco is grown by Garcia and his father Pepin. The other is tobacco from the well known Oliva Tobacco Company of Tampa, Florida. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper is the perfect compliment to this outstanding new brand.

Treat yourself, or give a welcome Father's Day Gift, and begin enjoying one soon!
