Well the talk about this cigar is going around and around and I feel like people dont really know the story behind it so I will disclose everything I can about it so everyone is on the same page. The cigar is made by a boutique manufacturer that has a rich history in the cigar industry dating back at least three generations. Most cigar makers have the cigars they make for resale and to the public becuase they are of popular taste and they also have the cigars they blend and make for themselves as their everyday cigar. Their everyday cigar is one they make to their specifications of flavor, body, and aroma and is typically made with the tobacco that is in more limited amounts as they dont need a ton of it since it is made just for them.
The "Papa Bruce Lee" (just a nickname not the cigars actual name) is just that cigar that is the personal blend of the first generation (grandfather) of this boutique cigar company. Unfortunately, becuase it is not yet released I cant disclose who the manufacturer/ family is. This cigar was never made available to the public becuase it was thought the blend was too strong to appeal to the everyday cigar smoker. Believe me when I say this cigar has a lot of juice. One of the best cigars I have smoked to date and it is the personal everyday cigar, never before released, of one of the most knowledgable and admired tobacco men in the industry. Total homerun.
When Thor and I recieved our first sample bundle from the manufacturer they were unbanded and on the outside it was labeled by the bundlers "PAPA BRUCE LEE". Papa meaning the grandfather and founder of the cigar company and Bruce Lee becuase it will kick your ass.
These gems wont be available until after the summer but I thought it would be a good idea to bring everyone up to speed. As soon as I can tell you the name of the cigar and who they are made by and whos everyday smoke they are I promise I will.
If the person who is making this cigar (you know who you are) reads this and wants to share any info, they are welcome to. I just dont want to overstep my bounds.
