Toraño
Cigars Scores at Two Major International Events
Toraño
Cigars enjoyed the spotlight at two prestigious events recently,
enhancing their visibility and reputation on the international
scene. The
fourth-generation family-owned
premium cigar producer is
the only company to own factories in all three major cigar-producing
countries: Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic.
The
Toraño family took top honors at the 2005 annual “Cigar Awards”
evening, sponsored by Europe’s most widely-read cigar publication,
European Cigar Cult Journal.
Coinciding with RTDA 2005, the awards presentation was held
on August 7, at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel.
The Austrian publication’s Editor-in-Chief, Reinhold
Widmeyer, presented the award for “Best Honduran Brand" to
Vice President Charlie Toraño.
The award was based on results of extensive tasting by a
panel of experts, and reflected the Toraño’s overall
superiority as a Honduran cigar maker.
It was determined largely on the quality and performance of the Toraño
Exodus 1959 and Exodus 1959 Silver Edition, two cigars that have
earned top ratings in other cigar publications.
Vice President Charlie Toraño, in accepting the trophy,
expressed “gratitude and pride at being chosen to represent
Honduras and its great tradition of cigar making.”
In
addition to being honored for cigars with their own name, the
company also manufactures CAO International’s Criollo Mancha
cigar. This cigar not
only
was honored as this year’s
“Best Toraño Cigars wins 2005
European Cigar Cult
Nicaraguan Cigar,” it is the first cigar in
Journal trophy for “Best Honduran Brand”
the Journal’s 10-year history to score a
perfect “5 Star" rating.
Toraño is also the first cigar maker to be honored with
nominations (in 2001) for top honors in more than one “Best
Cigar” category, for their cigars from Honduras and Nicaragua.

| Greetings!
New cigars are starting to hit our
shelves from the trade show, and we're
highlighting two of my favorites this
week, also Cuban cigar rollers, rolling
rare pre-embargo tobacco then making it
available for sale in our store. Come see
a demostration for the next 10 days.
HERE'S THE CATCH, We can not sell these
cigars via mail order, you must come
to the store to get some AND if you do we
have some free cigars to go with your
purchase. It's going to be a busy next 10
days, be sure to stop by if you can,
you'll be glad you did. |

THE
CUBANS ARE COMING
THE CUBANS ARE COMING
It is perhaps the first
time that Cuban cigars
have been sold legally
in New Hampshire since
John F. Kennedy was
President, and September
1st through September
10th Two Guys Smoke Shop
will be stocked with
them. “Our calendar is
clear and we are ready
for business” says
David Garofalo owner of
Two Guys Smoke Shop, New
England's largest and
highest volume cigar
store. “We were
approached by Pinar
Cigars about selling
rare pre-embargo cigars
and we jumped at this
chance.”

EUROPE
HONORS EDICION de SILVIO® AS
BEST NICARAGUAN BRAND
European
Authority Selects Perdomo Again For Prestigious Award
MIAMI
– Tabacalera Perdomo, S.A. was awarded the distinguished 2005
Cigar Trophy by The
European Cigar-Cult Journal, Europe’s leading authority on
cigars. The award
recognized Tabacalera Perdomo’s EDICION
de SILVIO® as Nicaragua’s ‘Best Brand’ and
marks the second occasion Tabacalera Perdomo has received the top
European honor for premium, long filler cigars.
According to the Vienna, Austria-based publication, EDICION de SILVIO® is “perfectly rolled to its
tip, very fine, subtly cedary-sweet, velvety abundance of aroma and
an excellent draw; very fine aroma texture woven into a velvety
silkiness which is unfolding a whole spectrum of transparent tobacco
finesse with a finely spicy sweetness of cedar; a somewhat lighter,
perfectly balanced torpedo which sparkles in finesse.”
