Best regards, and fresh cigars!

For those who desire a powerful and intoxicating flavor with a complex rich finish, look no further than the Ashton VSG. The VSG is blended exclusively for Ashton by Carlos Fuente Jr. using 4 to 5 year old aged Dominican tobacco taken from the finest and most fertile plants. The distinct flavor of VSG comes from its wrapper grown on a private estate in Ecuador owned by the Oliva family where this proprietary wrapper leaf is grown for the Fuente Family exclusively for Ashton VSG. The leaf is taken from the higher primings and matures slowly by sunlight filtered through the region¹s natural cloud covering. The result is the rich intoxicating wrapper which has made the Ashton VSG the most in demand cigar on the market today.

Ashton VSG Pegasus

The Pegasus measures five-inches long by 54 ring gauge, and like all VSGs it comes wrapped in Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. What makes it unusual is the lack of box pressing—this is one of only three sizes of VSGs shipped round, rather than pressed. (The other two are the Wizard and the Eclipse.)

Stop into either of the Habana Premium Cigar Shoppes to pick up an Ashton VSG Pegasus!

The Edicon Unica was the Winner of the Honduran Cigar Festival! This Honduran cigar is medium-to-full bodied. Rich & complex with a wonderful aroma. Noted flavors are coffee bean, sweet tobacco, earthy with underlying spice.

After smelling his new holiday blend “Pumpkin Cheesecake”, I think it’s safe to say that everyone became hungry for an indulgent sweet treat!

If you have to pick a produce that best describes the fall in New York State you’d probably pick Pumpkin. That may be true of most parts of our country but if you’ve ever had the chance to get a New York Style Cheesecake you are familiar with that quality. We took the two things that we think of frequently this time of year and put them in a pipe tobacco. This started out as a limited release but based on your demand we’re gonna have it available all the time.

Enjoy ~ Scotty

Tonight, after a busy day at work and a tedious visit to the grocery store, I decided to relax with my very own bowl of Russ’ newest holiday blend. (Pumpkin Cheesecake Holiday 2011) I think my post on my personal Facebook account just about says it all:

Just enjoyed a bowl of “Pumpkin Cheesecake” pipe tobacco. I think we should have a side deal with The Cheesecake Factory to promote this one… cuz after smoking it, nothing would be better than a nice slice. Guess I’ll stick with the zero calorie version for now lol.

This special blend was made for the West Coast Pipe Show and is now available at both Habana Premium Cigar Shoppes.

The brand new “Sierra Nevada” is an all natural tobacco exclusive to the West Coast Pipe Show. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the pipe show, and this tobacco is a limited time offer. Collectors, and pipe tobacco lovers of all types are going to snap these up fast!

A truly unique blend, this is one you’ll have to try for yourself, but don’t wait too long!

Did I say the supply was very limited? We only have a few boxes available, and they’re in the Albany Shoppe! We have opened ONE BOX to sell single sticks at $14.50, and a box of 12 is going for $159.99.

If you want to be one of the lucky few to get their hands on one of these, come on down to 1645 Central Avenue in Albany ASAP! Not only are these Toros a favorite to smoke, but this special edition gift box is the perfect present for the Cigar Aficionado in your life!

“My Dad was a fisherman, and a good one. I can’t remember him ever having a line in the water without his pipe handy. In fact he would usually have a few already packed to save time. When he was fishing, he normally smoked one of the old “foil pouch” blends that weren’t heavily flavored, and the thick clouds of smoke were his favorite bug repellant.

With this in mind, I wanted to be able to bring a new blend to our customers that was reminiscent of those old school tobaccos, but with high grade leaf and unique flavors. Enjoy the toasted Burley and Virginias, with a whisper of honey, chocolate and cinnamon while you’re landing the big one!

From the label:

“The UZI story began on the very first final consumer blending session at the Joya de Nicaragua factory in late 2010 during a Cigar Safari tour with the B.O.T.L. group. After conducting blending sessions for the previous 3 years at the Drew Estate factory we were amped up to extend the concept to JDN. I worked with the JDN team utilizing DE tobaccos, including a San Andreas Negro Wrapper, Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade Binder and hearty Brazilian Mata Fina Filler, coupled with Nicaraguan fillers provided by JDN. The blend proved to be rich and earthy, with a bright, sweet undertone. As months of blending passed, I felt this blend was most noble in the 6×60 format and began calling this cigar “The Uzi.” We all had a good laugh at the name, but when I went back to their factory to pick up the round of 50 sticks, I said, “Damn, My UZI’s Weighs a Ton!” – and the brand was officially born.”
