Cigar News: Toraño Announces "Captiva"
TORAÑO FAMILY CIGAR CO. TO UNVEIL “THE CHARLIE TORAÑO CAPTIVA” AT THE 2014 IPCPR
Toraño Family Cigar Company has announced that for the first time, Charlie Toraño will unveil a cigar under his own name: the Charlie Toraño Captiva. Charlie is the fourth generation of the Toraño family to carry the tobacco industry torch. In his years working alongside his father Carlos, as well as since, he has created cigar brands under the family name as well as countless marques for other major distributors. He has been president of the company for more than ten years, and felt it was “time to create a cigar under his own name which represents his personal tastes and pastimes.”
“Captiva, which is a very small island off the coast of Southwest Florida, is my favorite place in the entire world,” said Charlie Toraño. Every year I plan a summer family trip there which serves as my get-away from the everyday. It takes me back to the true essence of cigars. I am able to smoke and simply relax as I feel the pressures of life dissipate with every puff. I am able to reflect, count my blessings, and recharge my batteries. The Captiva cigar is a very elegant and flavorful cigar which represents the slow rhythms of the Island.”
The Captiva will feature an oily Ecuadoran wrapper over Nicaraguan fillers that have been specially aged and selected by Charlie. It is presented as medium to full bodied, with notes of coffee, chocolate, and sweet peppery spice. The line will carry a suggested retail pricepoint between $7.95 and $8.95, and be available in four different vitolas:
Robusto (5″ x 52)
Toro (6″ x 50)
Churchill (7″ x 47)
BFC (6″ x 60)

Nomad Connecticut Fuerte line extended
Nomad Connecticut Fuerte Belicoso Coming
Nomad Cigar Company has announced the addition of a Belicoso to its popular Connecticut collection. The Dominican-made Nomad Connecticut Fuerte line launched in March 2014, and has been previously available in four sizes (Corona 5.5″x44, Toro 6″x52, Robusto Gordo 5.5″x54, and Robusto 5″x50). Founder Fred Rewey added the 6.25″x54 Belicoso after some experimentation with various sizes.
“I think every manufacturer sometimes has a host of other sizes for personal use or for friends that request them. Frankly, the Belicoso was just fun. It was one of those sizes in the Connecticut line that I found myself smoking a bit more often. No sense keeping them all for myself. The industry reviews on the Connecticut Fuerte line have been very positive and I look forward to adding to the family,” Rewey added.
The release comes just two weeks ahead of Nomad’s release of a new line of Nicaraguan cigars: The C-276. The C-276 will feature five filler leaves with two being ligero.
About Nomad Cigars
Nomad Cigar Company launched in 2012 with four sizes of classic hand rolled Dominican cigars and quickly grew the [DR] line to seven sizes. In January 2013 founder Fred Rewey ventured to Nicaragua; blending and creating the Estelí Lot 1386 and the S-307. In 2014 Nomad released the Connecticut Fuerte and will be releasing the C-276 at the 2014 IPCPR show.

Cigar News: Córdoba & Morales to extend Clave Cubana
Córdoba & Morales to Introduce Clave Cubana Etiqueta Blanca at this Year’s IPCPR
Florida based Córdoba & Morales Cigars will add to the existing Clave Cubana line this summer, with the addition of the limited production Etiqueta Blanca. Total production for this cigar will only be 1,000 boxes of 20 cigars. The Etiqueta Blanca will feature a 5-year-old
San Andrés Maduro wrapper, Jalapa binder and a filler blend from Esteli, Ometepe and Jalapa. According to company co-founder Azarias “Z” Mustafa Córdoba, the second addition to the line has been in the works for quite some time.
“We’ve wanted to work with the aged San Andrés Maduro wrapper since we opened our company, however, it’s in short supply. As soon as we got our hands on it, we painstakingly created the perfect blend of tobaccos to complement and honor this much-sought after wrapper, which we’ve accomplished with the Etiqueta Blanca,” Mustafa Córdoba said.
The line will be available for order at the 82nd Annual IPCPR Convention & International Trade Show, and is expected to ship around August 1st, 2014. It comes in three vitolas: Robusto Extra (5 ½” by 52, MSRP $9.80), Toro (6” x 54, $10.50) and a Toro Gordo (6” x 60, $11.20). The company will offer retailers special promotions on their existing lines during the show, and invites all attending retailers to stop by their booth (Hall C, booth #4530) to learn more about their entire lineup.
