Recent news from Cuenca, whose cigars I will be reviewing this upcoming week:
Monday, December 28th, 2012
Hollywood, Florida— Today, Miguel Cuenca has officially announced the upcoming release of Cuenca Cigar’s latest creation: the “Cuenca 5 Anniversary” cigar. The cigar is available for sale since December 2012.
“Cuenca 5 Anniversary”, is a medium to full body cigar with a full flavor profile accented with spicy notes. This blend has been specially chosen by Miguel Cuenca. Then, a group of five seasoned smokers at Cuenca Cigars of Hollywood, along with Ana Cuenca were part of the testing process. “This is how we do things at Cuenca Cigars”, said Ana Cuenca. We have reinforced our customers’ avid knowledge and palate by allowing them to freely experience the vast selection in our store. In turn, they have become even more sophisticated when making their next choice for a great smoke. When it came time to develop our cigar, we fully engaged them in the development process. Who better than our loyal customers to give us unbiased feedback!
Our goal was to blend a cigar with complexity and a lot of flavor. We did not want to come out with a mild blend; we love spicy and full bodied cigars. Even though, mild may be an easier sale; we want to be known and defined for offering a spicy and strong product. We also love to be “different”, in every possible way. Did you notice the absence of the “th” in 5? We like it like that way, and 5 is a great number for us.
“Cuenca 5 Anniversary” will have an initial batch of 500 boxes. All boxes will be signed by Miguel Cuenca. In 2013, a full line will be released using this same blend. More details will be released early next year.
“Cuenca 5 Anniversary” is a 7 x 54, Torpedo Box pressed, with carefully selected dark Habano wrapper from Nicaragua. It was aged and cured by AJ Fernandez the creator of San Lotano Cigars, a good friend of the Cuenca Family. They come in an elegant cedar box which contains 10 cigars.
Cigars will be initially available in 20 different cigar stores in the Continental U.S. and Europe. By mid 2013, the whole line will be available in 50 U.S. and European stores. The “Cuenca 5 Anniversary” line is a registered trademark of Cuenca Cigars TM and/or affiliated companies.

is there any decision on the snowbird lounge membership terms ?
as i have previously indicated, quite a few have asked about becoming members as they visit during the winter from up north
Kip Fisher says
Hi Frank…Thanks for stopping by. I’m assuming your comment is for the folks down at Cuenca. I just posted this press release for them – I don’t know if they will be stopping back by, so they may or may not see that comment. You might want to try and contact them through one of the means listed in the article. Thanks, again.
Kip
frank daddario says
okay Kip
thank you
BTW……did i meet you doing an interview of lou rodriguez (DR lou from North Carolina) at the UNofficial opening of Frank Herrara’s place CHARMED LEAF ?
Kip Fisher says
There’s a good chance of it! For someone who lives far away, I spend a lot of time at Charmed Leaf. I don’t remember doing an “official” interview with Lou, although I’ve spent a good deal of time chatting with him, and I do remember meeting another Frank (besides Herrera). I’d say that was you…
Ana Cuenca says
Hi Frank, this is Ana from Cuenca Cigars, i spoke to you on facebook earlier today, i think? Ok, the lounge is pretty open for everyone who wants to join us. All you need to do is buy a cigar and ask. Cuenca cigars lounge members are very friendly and love to meet new people, so we are. We do have some rules that you need to obey but other than that you are very welcome. We open 7 days a week 11 am till midnight. We have wifi and lounge is to be quite during the week days to allow business people to work. Then after 5, the party starts. Besides, during this time of the year, no one wants to be inside and our outside patio is pretty nice. Hollywood have Free Parking also since 2011.
As Kip explained, this press release is about a new cigar we have just lanched so, you are welcome to smoke it when you visit us.
Hope this clarified your question. Regards
Ana
