Heard it Through the Pipe Tamper 2-23-2011

On this edition of The Pipe Tamper...

We take an inside look at what is to come in 2011 from Savinelli Cigars.

I am proud to announce that Savinelli will be launching 5 new lines of cigars in 2011.

Along with the already mentioned '20th Anniversary Edition' out of Tabacalera Oliva, we will be launching the Dos Campeones(Two Champions)' and 3 other great lines. These new lines will be produced in Tabacalera Oliva, Tabacalera Fuente, Tabacalera Placencia, and R y R in Esteli.

Steven Ysidron, the Director of US Operations and CEO spent 2 weeks recently in Nicaragua and the Dominican. He spent time with his cousin, Fuente, in the tobacco fields and in the tobacco factories. During his visit he put the finishing touches on the new blends so they could be put into production.

We are greatly anticipating these new cigar launches. Stay tuned for more.

As always...Stay lit my friends!

We say goodbye to the RyR series Y Cigar by Savinelli.

The Rico y Raro (Rich & Rare) cigar was produced by R & R Esteli in Nicaragua and released in 2009.

This medium to full bodied cigar delivered both flavor and strength in one smoke. It received a rating of 90 by CA.

Hand-rolled with 100% aged Nicaraguan grown Cuban seed tobaccos, it was full of oak and cedar flavors that would leave you with a syrupy finish.


Get yours hands on one of these sticks before it is too late!

As always...Stay lit my friends!

We will look at upcoming releases from Savinelli Cigars.

We have been very pleased with the Special Selection 2005 line. With the vintage-aged tobacco from 2005 running out we are pleased to announce that the next stock of Special Selection will be hand-rolled with vintage-aged tobacco from 2006.

The Nicaragua Reserve will now be hand-rolled with vintage-aged tobacco from 2007.

These 'upgrades' will only make these cigars more enjoyable!

The Savinelli ELR (Extremely Limited Reserve)

In 1994 Savinelli introduced the Savinelli 'Extremely Limited Reserve' (ELR) cigar line made by the masters at Tabacalera A. Fuente. The ELR has been scored at 91 by Cigar Aficionado Magazine and has remained a consistent excellent cigar.



Ok, now that I got the 'formallity' out of the way. I can tell you that this cigar is bad ass! It is available in Maduro or Natural.

The Natural is available in Churchill, Corona Extra, Lonsdale, Double Corona, Extraordinaire, Robusto and Belicoso while the Maduro is available in Churchhill, Double Corona, and Robusto sizes.

It is a mild bodied cigar with spicy flavors throughout backed by nutty and coffee notes. A truly effortless cigar to enjoy!
