What else have you been smokin' Bob?
Cain F Lancero - The lancero will not be in regular production and therefore will not be for sale to the general public. It will only be available in The Limited Edition Studio Tobac Cigar Sampler. Expect to see The Cain F Lancero packaged in an aluminum tube, making it one of the only lanceros ever available in the “tubo” format. The Cain F Lancero, and the entire Studio Tobac Cigar Sampler, will be available as a “gift with purchase” at Studio Tobac World Tour events in 2011. The Cain F Lancero is a Nicaraguan puro in a classic lancero size (7×38) with a finished three-seam cap instead of the traditional pig-tail cap. The blend is based on the the popular Cain F line of cigars, but adapted to fit the lancero format. A full bodied smoke composed almost entirely of 3 types of ligero leaf from the three major growing regions in Nicaragua: Jalapa, Condega, and Esteli. The ligero leaves (upper most on the tobacco plant and the strongest of the leaves) are put through a triple fermentation process to temper their strong flavors.
Plasencia Organica - I discussed this cigar at length with Nestor Plasencia JR last week and found out some interesting things. The tobacco was planted in virgin soil that had never grown a crop of tobacco or anything else on it prior to this so there are no pesticides resident in the soil when the tobacco gets started. In addition, no pesticides are used during the growing of the tobacco. This may be a marketing effort but it is truly an organic cigar from start to finish.

Do you have a suggestion for the unbanded cigar of the week? Every week Bob and Dale include an “unbanded cigar” segment in their show in which they smoke a cigar without any markings and give their honest opinions. Bob then opens a sealed envelope and discovers the cigar’s name and manufacturer. If you have suggestions for the "What's My Band?" segment, please send them to liz@cigarmedia.tv.
