DogWatch Cigar Radio #235 - Law and Order at IPCPR
08-15-2009 Cigar of the Week - Don Tomas Clasico Presidente – With the length of the 109 vitola and the girth of the Canonazo, the 7.5” x 52 rg Presidente is among the size class we just refer to as Churchill in common usage today. From the General Cigar stable, the Don Tomas Clasico line has been produced in Danli Honduras since the 1970’s. Made in the Centro American Cigars, S.A. factory, the tobaccos in the blend are all Honduran except for the addition of some Nicaraguan tobacco in the filler. If the Presidente size is a bit much for you, 5 other sizes are also available, down to a 4” x 32 rg Coronitas. Packaging is in dress boxes of 25 cigars.
Bob gets his Tobacconist University Certification, but has to admit defeat at the hands of the Master Cigar Technician, both in score and time taken!

Dear Bob & Dale,
It's been a while since I've haven't had any contact with you guys, but know that I haven't missed a show and of course,they are always a true enjoyment, even If I,sometimes, don't agree on the reviews on certain cubans or on a lot of Non Cubans, but, that's the fun about it all, I don't expect everyone to have the same tastes. Anyway, the reason I'm sending this comment is to congratulate you both for a great show this week with the résumé of the IPCPR event and all the interesting stuff you had on the show. Troy KEIFER's interview was very interesting and I was pleased that they had the chance to attend the event .You could hear that he, and his brother, have a true passion for cigars. I wish them luck, if ever they do open up a shop. Well, that's about it, I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed this weeks show so much , that I had to leave a comment. I wish you both a great week and thanks for the great show you both put on the air.
Amicalement,
Guy
