June 9, 2012
Press Release:
June 9, 2012 Danbury, CT – In a first of it’s kind event with a major cigar
manufacturer, Butthead’s Tobacco Emporium @buttheads will be presenting an
evening with José Blanco @joseblanco809 of Joya de Nicaragua cigars
@joyacigars. This Workshop for 50 in-store participants will also be
broadcast as a Virtual Cigar Workshop live on the web to an additional 250
cigar enthusiasts. The Workshop will be held in Danbury, Connecticut at
Butthead’s Tobacco Emporium’s anchor store. The event fee is $50 and
includes a sampler of four Joya de Nicaragua cigars and a special event
cigar commissioned for the event. The Joya de Nicaragua cigars included in
the sampler are Joya de Nicaragua Celebratión Toro, Joya de Nicaragua
Cabinetta No.7 Toro, Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Alisado, Joya de
Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo Poderoso.
The unique cigar that has been produced for the event is a 7×48 Churchill
with four different wrappers, each one inch long, that the entire group will
smoke at the same time. José’s animated presentation will test your cigar
knowledge and open your eyes to how the wrapper of the cigar affects the
final blend. During the 70 minute presentation, smokers will give their
input and interpretation as well as learn from one of the world’s renowned
cigar masters.
José has given this seminar to groups including a 200 person event for the
International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers and to small groups on Cigar
Safari trips to Nicaragua. “This is the first event of this nature that I
know of,” says Blanco via Skype from Esteli, Nicaragua. “I think this will
be a fabulous event for so many people. We have never been able to make this
tasting seminar available to such a broad base of cigar smokers.”
The event will take place on Thursday, June 21, 2012 at 8:00pm Eastern time
and will also feature a 7:00pm presentation from Christine Morgan,
@ladyofthestick who has an affinity for cigar wrapper in the hybrid cigars
she creates on her The Lovely Lady of the Stick website
