262 Cigars Ideology Corona

If 262 Cigars is a brand that is new to your ears, don't feel bad, as you are probably not the only one. The company has a rather interesting slogan of “Smoke the revolution” and its cigars are supposed to offer a flavor reminiscent of pre-embargo Cubans.

262's Ideology line already has three vitolas to its name with the 5 1/2 x 52 Belicoso, 6 x 54 box-pressed Toro, and 7 x 50 Churchill. That's about to change, however, as the brand is promising to release the Ideology Corona when summer rolls around. According to its website, those in charge at 262 decided to add the Corona to the Ideology line in order to entice smokers who enjoy cigars of a more traditional size. The Ideology Corona will feature a filler blend of Dominican, Mexican, and Nicaraguan tobaccos. The binder will be Nicaraguan, and a Nicaraguan Habano Rosado wrapper will top things off. Some of the words that 262 uses to describe the Ideology are mild, smooth, toasty, and buttery. If you ask me, that sounds like the perfect smoke to relax with.

Davidoff Puro d'Oro Eminentes

Fans of the Davidoff Puro d'Oro line or of the brand in general have a new cigar to put on their to-do list. It's called the Eminentes, and its the newest addition to the Puro d'Oro line. The Eminentes is a Toro that measures 6 1/4 x 52. The cigar becomes the fifth member of the line that was originally released in 2010 in the following four formats: Magnificos (Robusto), Notables (Corona Gorda), Sublimes (Petit Panatela), and Deliciosos (Corona).

Like others in the Puro d'Oro line, the Eminentes is a puro containing a blend of tobaccos that all come from the Dominican Republic. The highlight of its composition is the Davidoff Yamasa wrapper. As with most Davidoff releases, the cigar has an elegant appearance that is accented by a gold band at the foot.

The Puro d'Oro Eminentes officially went on sale earlier this month at select retailers in the United States. It comes in packs of four or boxes of 25. If interested, prepare to dish out some cash for the Eminentes, as it comes at a price of $18.50 per single.
