I won’t call it déjà vu, but I will say that I am fascinated by the question of where have I seen this before? It’s a question I ask myself a lot, and it’s one I asked myself when I first saw this cigar, the Perez-Carrillo Encore Noir. The cigar was announced in April 2024, and when I saw it, I knew I had seen it—or something that looked like it—not long before.

Sinistro Cigars has begun implementing a small price increase on its cigars due to the tariffs on foreign-made goods that were enacted by the Trump administration. The company told halfwheel that it is only passing along its cost and not making any other adjustments to its prices. The company says that the largest increase to cigars in its portfolio works out to 20 cents per cigar and $3 per box.

Patrick Lagreid I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together.

Love it - great way to pass the time, do some social distancing but stay connected. RT @GodFadr: When I see people doing Tai chi in the park I like to pretend they are fighting off really slow invisible ghosts that only they can see. I can keep myself entertained for hours.
