On this edition of Roundtable, the Cigar Coop Coalition gets together and smokes the H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage.

The Heritage is the second H. Upmann branded cigar that has been blended by the one and only A.J. Fernandez. Tonight Ben, Bear, Erron, and Coop will weigh in and see how this cigar stacks up.

1991 was one of the biggest years in contemporary music. It’s a year that saw upheaval and change as we never have seen before. On this show, Dave and Coop will share the some of their favorite albums from that year – along with their favorite songs.

On the cigar end of things, we will discuss Matt Booth’s sale of Room101 Cigars to Scandinavian Tobacco Group.

For this show, Dave smokes the Alec Bradley Black Market and Coop smokes the Room101 Snake Shake.

Dapper Cigars created the La Madrina a few years ago and it has slowly become the best selling cigar for the company worldwide.  Dapper decided to take the La Madrina and make a milder, more subtle, line to compliment it.  They introduced the La Madrina Shade last year, a tweaked La Madrina blend with an Ecuadorian shade-grown Connecticut wrapper.  I’m a big fan of Connecticut wrapper cigars, as long as they have some body to the cigar and are flavorful.  I don’t miss the days of our grandfather’s Connecticut shade cigars that were very mild, with little flavor.  The Dapper Cigars website is an excellent source of information about their cigar as they list their cigar blends in detail rarely seen in the cigar industry.  You can check out my review of the La Madrina toro here along with Coop’s review of the La Madrina in the robusto size here.
