Cigar of the Week - El Primer Mundo Rosado Oscuro
Primer Mundo cigars are manufactured by Nestor Placencia at the Segovia factory in Esteli, Nicaragua that also produces some Alec Bradley, Rocky Patel and others. This particular stick has three tobaccos in the filler, 2 from Nicaragua and a little hint of Panamanian tobacco. The binder is pure Nicaraguan and the wrapper is Habano Rosado Oscuro from Nicaragua.
The Four Horsemen discuss the sycophantic relationship some cigar smokers have with certain cigar makers, the affects of image on the cigar business and what's up with Davidoff.
Bob smokes an unbanded selection from Colin with surprising results.
On the Dark Side, Bob and Craig discuss the Bolivar Petite Belicoso LE2009 while Coln and Skip lament the decline of the Cuban cigar.
A herfline submission from our friend AngryBill and a host of hijinx, laughter and general herfing.

Bob,
Just actually listened to the show. Colin had some questions about the use of the term "Oscuro" in the name of my cigar. Oscuro literally translates to dark or obscure as it relates to cigars. The actual name for my wrapper is, as you stated, "Habano Rosado Oscuro". Simply means dark rosado. That references the fermentation. I simply shortened it on the band to Rosado Oscuro. Similar to what I did with the Criollo Maduro, which is actually a Habano Criollo Maduro. There's no gimmick to it. I put the name of the wrapper on the band so that people will no what they're smoking. I truly appreciate you including my line in the panel. It truly gives me an opportunity to talk about the brand and what I hope people experience with my cigars.
Good Smokin'
