Editor’s Note: A few weeks ago I said the 2012 Cigar Releases List would sit at 750 before IPCPR. With a bit over a week before the start of the show, the list has 751 entries. And it’s just getting started. Litto Gomez Outlines La Flor’s IPCPR Releases — Details here. Camacho Ships Liberty Series [...]

SWAG from Oliveros is the most recent brand to add a Miami-inspired line to its portfolio with the soon-to-be-released SWAG SoBe edition. Once again the focus for SWAG is the Dominican tobacco inside the blend, this time creating a blend that Oliveros describes as “a cigar for the new generation, Miami style.” Over the past [...]

Some Random Thoughts… Lanceros are a Pain in the Ass to Photograph — Or at least if you try to stand them up. They are long and thin. Light enough for any bit of wind to pick them up and blow over, and a tiny base makes it difficult for them to even stand up. [...]

Editor’s Note: On Friday, the IPCPR sent out the much awaited “rules” for the bloggers. It was met with quite a host of criticisms, but in the end, I think it can only be viewed as a step in the right direction. There were a host of difficulties involved with trying to create a solution [...]

SWAG is a bit mysterious as far as brands go. Oliveros introduced SWAG last year at IPCPR, their take on the “boutique” brand that also sought rebrand the Dominican profile. I’m not sure as to why this is deemed necessary as the DR has seemingly shook off the “mild” reputation with Fuente’s Opus and Litto [...]

And cigar news… (Going to have to find a way to keep the intros interesting, which might be difficult.) This past week was dominated by the XIII Festival del Habano in Cuba and all of the events that make-up what is perhaps the most interesting cigar festival. Outside of Havana, there was still quite a [...]

As was expected, New York’s new tobacco tax isn’t working out as well as planned. Just because Habanos lost one lawsuit, doesn’t mean they can’t start another. As if that’s not enough, your IPCPR releases (and a special surprise) after the jump:

Habana Cuba Cigar Co. (makers of Oliveros) launched a host of new products, including SWAG, an entirely new line. (It’s a Dominican puro made only from Ligero from the same farm co-owned by company head Rafael Nodal and Litto Gomez) That being said, I spent most of time at the booth with larger than life [...]
