With IPCPR right around the corner, the emails are already pouring in with Press Releases from all the Cigar manufactures announcing their newest brands of cigars. Unfortunately I will not be present at this year’s IPCPR because my “real job” has blocked vacation for the month of August. However, I will be updating this post throughout the IPCPR Trade Show with news from around the show so be sure to check back daily for updates. Also, we have already made a comprehensive list of New Cigars for 2010 and we invite you to check them out by clicking here.

* Xikar and Drew Estates announced that they will be releasing a new Accessory Series featuring Acid and Liga Privada cigars. No pictures of these yet but it’s Xikar so I am sure they will look nice and perform like a dream.

* In the email I received from Torano, they also mentioned the new Master by Carlos Torano. Not sure what this cigar is all about just yet but stay tuned.

* Trano Family Cigars has announced the release of Single Region – Serie Jalapa. These cigars comprise of Tobacco from only one region, this one being the Jallapa Valley in Nicaragua. The cigar will be introduces in 3 sizes, 5×52 Robusto, 6×54 Toro, and a 7×50 Churchill. Suggested retail will be about 6.50 to 6.95 per cigar. My thoughts: A fantastic idea and a great price on a cigar that I imagine is a pain to blend with tobaccos from only one region. I’m really stoked to try this one out.

* Miami Cigar & Company have announced the release of the Tatiana Cognac. This is the first Tatiana flavor since 2007. Flavored cigars aren’t my thing but worth noting for those of you who do enjoy flavored cigars.

* Miami Cigar & Company have announced the launch of their latest blend with Mr. Don “Pepin” Garcia called the Art Deco. The Art Deco is a cigar comprised of 60% Nicaraguan tobacco and %40 Dominican Tobacco. The cigar has a Nicaraguan Corojo ’06 wrapper and a dual binder of Crillo ’98 and Habano ’00. The cigar will be introduced in 3 sizes, Coffee Break (4.5×50), Robusot Grande (5.5×52, and Gran Toro (6×60). My initial thoughts are that this should be a good cigar, but I hope they plan to add some cigars with a smaller ring gauge.
