Fred Schrader, owner and proprietor of Schrader Cellars, teamed up with Michael Herklots of Nat Sherman to create a cigar that appeals to both the Schrader wine enthusiast as well as cigar aficionados.  The result is the Schrader MMXIII.

These limited edition cigars are made in the Quesada Factory in the Dominican Republic.  They're made with a filler blend of Nicaraguan, Peruvian and Dominican tobaccos.  Both the binder and wrapper are Dominican.  The cigars have been aged for over two years!

Only 2,500 six-count boxes were produced.

Davidoff Nicaragua Box Pressed

Written By Eric Provost - May 23 2016

The new Davidoff Nicaragua Box Pressed builds on the profile of their original Davidoff Nicaragua Series.  Davidoff added some Nicaraguan Esteli Ligero to the blend of aged Nicaraguan Ometepe, Condega and Jalapa tobaccos.  The rich, hearty Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro wrapper brings an intense spice that adds to the complexity of the blend.

L'Atelier Cote d'Or

Written By Eric Provost - May 23 2016

In 2015, L’Atelier released Côte d'Or as a limited project using some coveted Pelo de Oro from the Garcia’s farms and the result was extremely special. This year they are once again creating a limited vitola using Pelo de Oro from the Garcias.

Sancti Spiritus is a hybrid of Criollo and Pelo de Oro. This year, the team at L’Atelier decided to use a mid priming rosado Sancti Spiritus wrapper instead of the higher priming wrapper from last years Côte d'Or. This will change the profile for Côte d'Or La Tâche as well as the different size of 5 1/2 x 50.

Just 2,000 ten count boxes of the L'Atelier Côte d'Or La Tâche were produced.  The cigars are due to arrive late March/early April.
