I am excited to announce two of my favorite cigars has been added to our inventory.  CAO has been in business over 30 years and has really outdone themselves with the BX3 and the MX2.

The BX3 is a Brazillian masterpiece.  It sports a blend of Mexican,  Honduran,  and Nicaraguan tobaccos with a Brazilian binder and a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper.  The result is a medium to full cigar with notes of chocolate, earth and spice.  A fine smoke getting its inspiration from the popular Brazillia and the Amazon Basin.

What does Honduras,  Peru, Nicaragua,  and Dominican Republic have in common?  Their fillers are all represented in the MX2.  This medium to full gem is held together with a Brazilian binder and a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper.  You’ll get a complex layer of sweet and spicy flavors.  This unique blend makes a very flavorful and satisfying smoke.

These are must try cigars…if you haven’t been a fan of CAO, this may just change your mind. These guys always have a home in my humidor.

Come see us at the Afterburner today.  You’ll be glad you did.

Buffalo Trace has introduced their most recent prize which proves to be a  promising addition to the cigar world.

When you open your cigar, you will experience a sweet oaky bourbon aroma.  This outstanding Dominican  is filled with corojo and piloto cubano tobaccos, held together with a criollo binder aged in Buffalo Trace barrels and topped off with a habano wrapper.

Starting off gentle and almost creamy, it transitions into an incredible medium to full smoke. Notes will remind you of toasted cinnamon,  spice and bourbon.  You can taste the bourbon aging.

This is a limited edition,  so when they’re gone, they’re gone.  Get yours now while they are available. It comes in an attractive special edition box sporting a unique Buffalo Trace coin.

Come down to the Afterburner and take one for a test drive.

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the New World line, AJ Fernandez blended the Decenio (decade is spanish).

The Decenio is filled with Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos with an oily San Andres wrapper.  Notes of cocoa, black pepper, expresso, and mesquite  run abundant in this medium to full-bodied masterpiece.

New World debuted in 2014 and quickly became a favorite in the cigar community.  I think the Decenio is the best one yet.

It’s full in flavor with a subtle spiciness.  I found it to be a very satisfying smoke and it will appeal to both the experienced and beginner.  This is a must try.  Stop by the Afterburner  and get yours today to enjoy after that awesome upcoming turkey dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Afterburner family.
