Boutique Brands? Had any good ones lately?

Anybody heard of "JFR?"

Stands for Just For Retailers. They're made by Tobacalera Tropical and supposed to only be sold at B&Ms...hence the name. There seems to be some aura of mystery surrounding the blend...some say it was done by Pepin. I honestly couldn't give a rip who blended 'em, they're not bad smokes. The Maduro always seems to catch my eye when I'm at my local.

Yea that suprised me when I saw your last post. George isnt really into the internet sales at this point and probably wont be for a very long time if ever.

Understood. The concept behind her site is simply to showcase boutiques without discounting them.

Yea I work with 262 too and they are up on Charmedlead, Ive checked out the site before and it looks like a great outlet for up and coming boutique brands.

Our corona is the newest classic vitola. I bothered Paul for months to make that cigar and I'm realllly pleased with it. So far, it's in the Habano (Red).

Can't wait for my Habano robustos to arrive this week! :cbig: After hearing many positive reviews of Panacea, I ordered a 4-pack this week. If I like them the coronas will be next!

Does Liga Privada count as a boutique brand? If so, that's my favorite

I second these! All of the Curivari stuff is a must-try. I am not entirely convinced that they are not using Cuban tobacco.
Especially try the Gloria de Leon. Spectacular.

I've loved the Rodrigos that I've tried. I plan on picking up a box of the lanceros Thursday night at an event George will be at.

 

[amsgpwarrior]

What event is he coming to? Is he coming to Texas? I would love to meet him.

He'll be at Heights Cigar Lounge in Houston.

It's a brand new B&M.

Let me know if you are coming. I'll show you around town.

Charmedlead. That's funny. I'll suggest that she change the name to that. Sounds more nefarious than charmedleaf.com

I've heard that too around the shop. And I absolutely love the Gloria de Leon. The Dominante is my favorite size.
