Cigars Daily

Cigars bring people together in a way that few other things do. That’s why cigar events tend to be such a big deal for aficionados everywhere! Now, we’re on the verge of the newest and biggest event the Cigars Daily Nation has ever seen! During this episode, we are joined by OLIVA NICK! He’ll be in the studio as we prep for the big day!

Some cigar makers have secrets. And tonight, we’re exposing all of them! Come dive deep into the mire of the cigar making underbelly with one of America’s most well-known, but unknown cigar makers – AJ Fernandez.

The PCA Tradeshow is STILL underway as we air this episode, but I went and brought back all the nitty gritty details for you (and the rest of the CD LIVE crew, because they didn’t get to go… and they’re still a bit sore about it). During this episode we’ll talk about new projects that are coming from the best cigar makers in the industry, and what’ going on around the Cigars Daily HQ for the rest of the year! The one thing I can tell you now is this – there’s never been a better time to be a cigar lover!

Cigars bring people together in a way that few things do anymore! And for years the Cigars Daily Nation has grown into the biggest online cigar community in the world! Tonight we’ll be talking about a new way for members of our community to hang out and enjoy a cigar together! It’s the event of the year, and everyone is invited. Plus, we’ll have special guests Willy Herrera from Drew Estate and Nick Zaglifa from Oliva Cigars. During this episode, we’ll discuss all the details and answer your questions.

The year is still young, but that hasn’t stopped cigar makers from crafting some of the most exciting new blends we have ever seen! Whether you’re a fan of mild, medium, bold, big, small, fat, or skinny cigars, this episode has some wild new flavor to blow your palate away! Join us as we discuss bold new blends from the best cigar makers the industry has today.

“BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND” These words describe the best limited edition cigars the industry has to offer. And that’s exactly what we’re discussing tonight. West Tampa’s Limited Edition Attic Series has returned as the Attic Series Daily Edition, and the first installment in a project of cigars called ‘Daily Edition Cigars’.

These are a collection of revived Limited Edition, and brand new blends that have been created exclusively for the Cigars Daily Nation. There’s a lot coming, but I have been so excited to share these with you that I’m all jittery for the show tonight.

Lighting up the perfect cigar for the perfect occasion feels a whole lot like gettin’ lucky for any cigar lover! It just so happens that this is that time of year where there are more and more opportunities to find that perfect cigar. In fact, we’re just a few weeks away from St. Patty’s Daily. Not only have we gotten the annual release of the Filthy Hooligans, but there are A LOT more very special projects on the horizon. So tonight, we’re working to build some perfect pairings of ‘lucky’ cigars for the holidays and warmer weather that are upon us!

Spring is just a few weeks away. That means perfectly warm sunny days to enjoy our favorite age old hobby! This Spring, there are some great blends out there in the wild, and tonight we happen to have one that’s making its way to the market as we speak! If you’ve been hunkered down in the cold all winter long without a way to enjoy a good cigar, this one is for you!

This week, we’re taking everyone’s palate on a journey to the unknown. Erik Espinosa is known for making some of the most satiating and spiciest blends in the industry. Cigars like the Murceilago and Wasabi have put Espinosa Cigars on the map for aficionados who want a blend that delivers on flavor and power. Only now, Erik has produced a brand new Espinosa Sumatra. Somehow, this smooth silky Ecuador Sumatra blend SHOULD still offer the power that Espinosa fans have come to know and love. During this episode, we’ll be putting this blend to the test, and discussing some of the other hottest new stuff!

Look around any walk-in humidor and you'll see A LOT of different blends on the shelf! It's crazy to think that there are that many different types of leaf out there, but there are. And it's even crazier to think that for each blend on the shelf, there are many that never saw the light of day. Cigar makers will often take cigars through many iterations before settling on 'the' blend for a project. In this episode, we'll be lighting up some of American Viking's unreleased blends to take you through what it takes for a test blend to become a regular production cigar.
