On the same day that the city of Toronto declared an official \u201cMajor Snow Emergency\u201d which saw an accumulation of up to 20 centimeters of snowfall, cigar lovers remained undeterred from visiting The Smokin\u2019 Cigar for an event that showcased Nicaragua\u2019s Esteban Carreras Cigars, as well as Masala Canadian Whisky.<\/p>\n

Alongside The Smokin\u2019 Cigar owner\u00a0Trae Zammit<\/em>, Esteban Carreras\u2019 Sales Director\u00a0Christopher Mey<\/em>\u00a0was on hand to talk about Esteban Carreras cigars, which are now finding their way to tobacconists\u2019 shelves for the very first time in Canada via distribution from Tabac Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Blended by former Cuban Minister of Agriculture,\u00a0Gonzalo Puentes<\/em>\u00a0in Estel\u00ed, Nicaragua, Esteban Carreras was founded 18 years ago by American Craig Cunningham who met Puentes while in Nicaragua.<\/p>\n

With snowfall continuing into the evening, attendees gravitated toward lighting up such Esteban Carreras cigars as the Mr. Brownstone and the Chupa Cabra Hellcat, which land toward the medium to full end of the flavor and strength spectrum respectively.<\/p>\n

Masala Whisky, which is made from a blend of corn and rye with the unique infusion of cardamom and coriander, exhibited a spicy, botanical character that complimented the robust Chupa Cabra Hellcat nicely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
