CRA Cigar Sampler #2 Limited Edition

Cigar Descriptions: CRA Cigar Sampler #2


Alec Bradley Tempus

Derived from the Latin word meaning “time”, the Tempus cigar from Alec Bradley Cigars has been carefully crafted with time as one of the most important factors.

The Alec Bradley Tempus is made at the Raices Cubanas factory in Honduras. Only 20% of the cigar rollers at the factory are chosen to make the Tempus brand. Select tobacco is used from a farm in the Trojes region of Honduras, just north of the border of Nicaragua, and some of the finest tobacco from Jalapa, Nicaragua. All the cigars are rolled in the traditional Cuban style, tubing each filler tobacco and using a triple cap finished wrapper. The Tempus 6 x 52, a Toro size, is made exclusively for CRA members to enjoy!


Ashton VSG

Ashton Distributors will offer CRA members a memorable experience using 4-5 year old Dominican tobacco and an Ecuadorian wrapper. Ashton Distributors Vice President Sathya Levin stated, "Ashton is pleased to provide this one-time only presentation of the VSG. For the many fans of the VSG, this should be a great experience."


Avo Classic #2

This carefully crafted blend of five different tobaccos results in a rich and mellow flavor. Grown from Cuban Piloto seed, the San Vicente binder and filler are complimented with a blend of Dominican Olor leaves. This brilliant cigar offers a special aroma in its mild, yet flavorful experience. Davidoff USA President Peter Banninger noted, "We are proud to make this carefully crafted cigar available to the members of CRA. It should prove to be a memorable moment."


Camacho Limited Edition

Named after and designed by Christian Eiroa himself in 2007, the Camacho CLE was developed as a limited-production cigar. This medium strength, full-flavor cigar is made entirely from exclusive tobacco grown in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras by Christian’s father, Julio. The amazing aroma and flavor of this exquisitely-crafted cigar is only available to CRA members – and, only in a very limited quantity.


Cuba Aliados Miami Edition

This limited-edition cigar has been hand-rolled exclusively for CRA members with the utmost care. Making only 300 cigars each day, Cuba Aliados offers this cigar with a rare and exquisite medium body experience. The Wrapper is made from Nicaraguan Habano tobacco, the Binder from Dominican tobacco, and the Filler from Nicaraguan tobacco.


Diamond Crown MAXIMUS

The very full-flavored Diamond Crown MAXIMUS is indeed the supreme achievement of 3 legendary Cigar Aficionado Hall of Fame Cigar Families – the Stanford J. Newman family, the Carlos Fuente family and the John Oliva family.

It is Carlito Fuente’s secret blend of specially aged Dominican filler tobaccos, combined with the special Ecuadorian tobacco wrapper exclusively grown on the El Bajo region of the Oliva’s Ecuador plantation, that gives Diamond Crown MAXIMUS its unique, remarkably smooth full-bodied flavor. Despite its rich, dark Ecuador wrapper, Diamond Crown MAXIMUS is not a maduro cigar. The richest, hardiest and darkest tobacco on the stalk comes from the top priming “corona” of the plant – this is the wrapper tobacco that Carlos selects for MAXIMUS.


Fuente Fuente ForbiddenX

Made from the rarest 100% Dominican tobacco grown at Chateau de la Fuente, this cigar offers a delightful and "forbidden" experience that is like no other. Each cigar was hand-rolled by skilled professionals before being aged for 5 years in CALVADOS OAK BARRELS imported from Normandy, France.


La Aurora 100 Años

For the first time in its 100+ year history, La Aurora Cigars has carefully blended the 100 Años into a Toro-size cigar -- and it will never be made again because the tobacco is no longer available. Adding to its unique offering, this cigar is constructed with 100% Dominican tobacco, used for the Wrapper, Binder and Filler!


La Gloria Cubana (CRA)

From the critically-acclaimed La Gloria Cubana Reserva Figurados collection, General Cigar is proud to produce the Regalias Perfectos frontmark (6 ¼” x 57) for Cigar Rights of America. Dressed in sun-grown Ecuadoran Sumatra, bound with painstakingly aged Nicaraguan tobacco, and filled with a proprietary Dominican and Nicaraguan blend, these cigars are distinctively rich and spicy on the palate, with a balance and complexity that has made this limited edition collection a must-have for today’s discerning cigar enthusiast.


Perdomo Patriarch

The Perdomo Patriarch® Corojo is a Nicaraguan “puro” comprised of a masterful blend of exquisite tobaccos from the fertile Nicaraguan valleys of Esteli, Condega, and the famed Jalapa Valley. Perdomo Patriarch® is a smoking experience that yields an impressive, robust taste with an undercurrent of delicate complex tones. Each Perdomo Patriarch® is hand-rolled using traditional Cuban methods that are a signature of the quality and craftsmanship of a super-premium cigar.


Bonus: Complimentary 1-Year CRA Individual membership Certificate included in every Sampler!

If you read the description it sounds to me like this is just going to be available to purchase in Platinum level shops... ie no need to be ordered first. The email I received yesterday stated the sampler was shipping soon, not that it would be soon "available for order".

I got home late last night from playing cards so I completely mis-read the email this morning. I thought we had to buy directly from platinum member shops, lol. It's too hard to comprehend on 4 hours sleep.

It is not very clear, are they doing it like the first one and pickups are at platinum shops only or do you have to go to the shop to purchase (without preorder)? How would they know how many to send to the shops?

It's nice to see that I am not the only one confused. I liked the way they did it for the first sampler as CRA recieved some money from this as well as cigar shops that are members of the CRA. I sent an email to the shop where I picked up my first sampler this morning and hopefully they will reply and clear things up.

The way I'm reading it is the shops are purchasing them, stocking and then selling them direct. The email says they are shipping them to platinum dealers and should be arriving soon, and makes no mention of having to order from CRA direct...

"The CRA Cigar Sampler #2 is ONLY available for purchase at Platinum-Level Great American Cigar Shops™."

http://www.cigarrights.org/cigar_sampler_No2.htm

Of course, on the same page it also says

"This exclusive CRA Cigar Sampler will only be available to CRA members, and only one Sampler can be ordered per member"

LMAO. Maybe you have to order it direct from the dealer... but while I don't have the email anymore, I was almost positive that it says they were already shipping??

Emailed them earlier this morning, just got a response:


"We have made it even easier for CRA Members to get CRA Sampler #2. Just go to your local PLATINUM Great American Cigar Shop™ and show your CRA membership card. That’s it. You can buy it directly from them."

Cool! I'm just trying to decide if it's worth it ...
10 bux a stick... some of those are worth more than 10 (Opus, Ashton, DC)
and some worth less... To me it's fair price... some nice sticks in there!
