Pappy Van Winkle and Rare Medio Tiempo Tobacco
Saturday Oct 21, 2017
Saturday Oct 21, 2017
Today on The Cigar Authority we light up two cigars that have some rarity attached to them. In the first hour we will light up Pappy Van Winkle from Drew Estate. We’ll try not to take a 20 year nap, as we tell you the story of Rip and Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle. It’s also not the first cigar to have ties to the liquor industry and we will discuss how the two industries have worked together in the past.
In the second hour we will light up a cigar that has the famed Medio Tiempo tobacco leaf. This small tobacco leaf doesn’t grow on every tobacco plant. It is however in every cigar of Vallejuello Medio Tiempo which was part of The Cigar Authority care package for October.
All that and the usual bag of tricks Debonaire Mr. J, Asylum Barry, Cigar News, Classic 3 Way and even a few mail bags..

We will break down the latest issue of the best cigar magazine on the planet, Cigar Journal and we will even light up a couple of cigars. Including the Plus 90, which we got a lot of feedback and Barry will share the story at some point during our cigar experience as it is part of the Cigar Authority Care Package.
