We're adjusting the store hours and other important announcements here:

In the interest of the safety of our employees and customers, we wanted to share with you the following precautions we're taking in light of the Coronavirus pandemic and the exponential growth and spread.

STORE HOURS CHANGED Mondays: Closed Tuesday thru Saturday: 4 pm to 9 pm Sunday: 12 noon to 6 pm

ST. PADDY's DAY We will NOT be open on St. Paddy's Day in support of reducing gatherings and large traffic.

2 Must-Have Cigars for Memorial Day Weekend 2019 (plus two additional bonus recommendations)

Most people associate Memorial Day with grilling burgers and hotdogs, drinking beer, and enjoying the beach or hanging out poolside. While it is perfectly okay to relax and take advantage of a three-day weekend, it is also good to remember Memorial Day is in fact a solemn holiday.

Memorial Day is about honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the United States in the Armed Forces.  

We have two must-have cigars that we recommend here that will help you accomplish both, a little relaxation and also honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice so you can enjoy cigars in a free country today.

Camacho Liberty 2005 Throwback

Staying true to the Camacho Liberty 2005 blend, Camacho released the Liberty Throwback 2005 edition back in 2018, just in time for Independence Day. In fact, a new version of the Liberty hits the market every year in time for Independence Day.

So why do we recommend this cigar for Memorial Day?  You  can enjoy this cigar for any patriotic holiday including the Independence Day, but we honestly don’t know if we will have any left by the time July comes around. 

The Liberty 2005 Throwback will be replaced by whatever the 2019 edition is to arrive. So we recommend that you go for it now, and get two, one of each color coffins, a red and a white.

Yes, the presentation of this cigar is beautiful. They are in red and while coffins, in a beautiful box with the American Flag on the lid. With a maduro wrapper and corojo filler and binder, this is a bold cigar presented in Camacho’s iconic 11/18 beautiful figurado shape.  

It is a premium plus cigar plus already a “unicorn” (meaning you won’t find it again past July 2019) so expect to pay $25 a stick for it here at The Humidor -- but it absolutely is worth every penny of the experience.

CAO America Patomac

CAO America Patomac is a favorite here at The Humidor. Everything about this cigar is right, the size, the shape, the taste, the branding! For us CAO America Patomac is a staple of every patriotic holiday in fact! 

This pinstripe barberpole cigar really a joy to look at and to smoke. 

Most people don’t realize but both wrappers (the dark and the lighter in the stripes) are actually Connecticut wrappers. The dark one often referred to as Maduro is the sungrown portion, Connecticut Broadleaf. 

The lighter tones one of the wrapper, often referred to as Natural is the regular Connecticut (or the shadegrown portion of the leaves).

We price CAO America under $15 a stick. You should get a few of these sticks while you’re at it. If you enjoy a medium to full body, you will enjoy the CAO America. 

and as promised:

plus 2 bonus recommendations

Okay, are you ready? These are the two bonus recommendations for Memorial Day Holiday, they both are also from Camacho, and they both are limited edition cigars:

Camacho Hard Charger

“Hard Charger” is a nickname which U.S. Marines call each other when referring to an individual Marine who does their job well and is well respected among other Marines.

This is cigar is a part of “brotherhood series” by Camacho. 

And Camacho describes this cigar as follows:

Built with our legendary Original Corojo at its core, the Camacho Hard Charger is a rare cigar that charges forward with intensity, only comparable to the unrelenting spirit of our brothers in arms. Featuring notes of pepper, earth, and spice, Hard Charger delivers a powerful and full frontal flavor experience, paying tribute to those who storm the front with valiance, and are unfaltering in their sacrifice, all in the name of freedom.

You should absolutely try it, before it goes away and you cannot try it anymore.

Camacho Check 6

A second cigar in the Camacho Brotherhood Series is the Check 6.  

Often used in the military and law enforcement, “Check Six” refers to the 6 o’clock position on the face of a clock. If you were standing in the center of a clock face facing the 12 o’clock position, then the 6 o’clock position would be immediately behind you -- hence, “Check 6” meaning watch your back. or look behind you.

And Camacho describes this cigar as follows

Built with the impenetrable character of our Original Corojo, Camacho Check Six pays tribute to the unbreakable bond between those who watch their brother’s six no matter what. In honor of those bold individuals who stand side by side to protect our freedom, Camacho deploys its latest addition to the Brotherhood Series with a cigar built from the legendary tobacco we fought to defend.

Backed by integrity and bound by virtue, this is one cigar that yields to no other. Celebrating those who prove themselves through actions, not words. A rare breed of individuals who stop at nothing to lay everything on the line for what matters most. Always doing what’s right, never what’s easy, confirming that there are no limits when it comes to solidarity.

At the core of the new Camacho Check Six is a tri-country blend of Original Corojo, San Vicente and Criollo tobaccos. These powerful filler tobaccos combine to add a depth of strength, complexity and flavor to the overall experience. The addition of a Criollo 98 binder from Nicaragua amps up the pepper notes, while the Habana 2000 wrapper from Ecuador adds roundness and excellent combustion to the blend.

So here we go! As promised 2 main recommendations plus 2 bonus recommendations for Memorial Day Weekend 2019. Isn’t it interesting that 3 of these four cigars likely won’t ever be experienced again, as they are limited edition introductions.

Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend.

Our weekend hours:

Saturday: 12 noon to 11 pm

Sunday 12 noon to 6 pm

See you soon!

If you were in Palm Coast on April 10, 2019 and missed the Manifatture Sigaro Toscano presentation by Michael Cappellini in person, know this: He was fantastic and this needed to be preserved. 

So we did record it, and you can watch it here. 

But you really missed the tastes and smells during the tasting, that we cannot help with. 

Enjoy this! And come get some great cigars at The Humidor!  You get get Toscano Cigars, Toscanellos, or many other handmade premium brands!

Cohiba Sceptre Double Corona

Do you have $90 you can spend for an extraordinary gift for yourself? Then spend it on this newest cigar arrival at The Humidor Cigar Bar and Lounge in Palm Coast: Cohiba Spectre

This is a very limited edition cigar. It is said to be the most exceptional Cohiba made since the turn of the century. It certainly is the most expensive Cohiba ever made. Production was very small: Only 180 boxes were made. 

And we got one in, right here in Palm Coast.

What makes this cigar so great?

In addition to the extremely small-production, this cigar features premium tobaccos from 8 different origins in 5 countries. The filler itself is very rare, the vintage Piloto Cubana, aged 23 years --- and it was aged in Spanish sherry barrels.

During the first-third of the cigar, the smoothness and subtle sweetness of the smoke teases you .The second-third gets strong, full-body strong. And the final-third totally has herbal and flowery notes, the traits you'd find in the finest of the fine Cuban cigars.

Here's the million dollar question though.. 

Or should we say the 90-dollar question. .😁

Is this cigar $70 better than a $20 premium cigar?

This is how I think when it comes to most optional and luxury items. 

I take the base value of something I enjoy, as a standard, then I compare value, benefit and price of the newly discovered item to that.

Is the price of filet mignon at Ruth Chris justified at twice as much as the filet Outback's? Or is a 750 cl. bottle of Johnny Walker Blue $125 better than the  Johnny Walker Black?  

So, I'll answer my own question...

Is the Cohiba Sceptre Double Corona $70 better than a $20 premium cigar you and I may smoke and enjoy very much?

I had this new Cohiba the night it arrived at The Humidor in Palm Coast. In my personal opinion it is, it absolutely is $70 better than any $20 premium cigar I've ever had.  

Here's me smoking this beautiful, much welcome new arrival:

Here's the deal:

This got on our shelf on Black Friday, and here we are a day later, and there is only seven sticks left.  Because of the novelty and rarity of this cigar, I don't think it will last in our shop. 

So. if you can afford a $90 gift for yourself, head over and get yourself one now.

If you cannot afford it, or think you do not deserve it, that's okay. We won't judge. 

We have other great alternatives for super premium or rare cigars priced from $20 to $75 in stock, as well as more affordable handmade premium cigars in the range of $3 to $20 a stick. :-)

Long ashes friend...

Cigars and Chess in Palm Coast

It’s a great time to play chess with a cigar and a beer, and frankly spectators have been enjoying as much as the players themselves.

When: On the First Tuesday of the Month Where: The Humidor Cigar Bar & Lounge Address: European Village, Palm Coast Time: 6 pm to 8 pm

We Are Celebrating American Craft Beer Week with Cigar City Brewing!

American Craft Beer Week will be celebrated May 14-20 this year.  At The Humidor, we are featuring six distinctive brews from our friends at Cigar City Brewing in Tampa.

Check out this beer lineup!   

Florida Cracker (Belgian-style White Ale)

Citrus aromas of oranges and lime leaves mingle with bubblegum and dried flowers on the nose of this hazy and refreshing Belgian-style White Ale. High carbonation and herbaceous bitterness quench the thirst while lemon-lime esters and flavors of Valencia orange add unique depth of flavor and complexity.

ABV: 5.5% | IBU: 18

Maduro (English-style Brown Ale)

Aromas reminiscent of toffee and chocolate macaroons belie the low alcohol content and moderate body of this well-rounded English-style Brown Ale. Semi-sweet chocolate, almond and brown sugar flavors fill the palate but quickly dissipate into a dry, clean finish with notes of coffee grounds.

ABV: 5.5% | IBU: 25

Jai Alai (India Pale Ale)

An intense bouquet of tangerine and candied orange peel entice the nose while flavors of clementines, Valencia orange and subtle caramel provide counterpoint to an assertive bitterness and rich malt character. Bold hop flavor and aroma from six different hop varietals is front and center in this flavorful American IPA. 

2010 Best Florida Beer Championship Gold Medal 

2011 Best Florida Beer Championship Silver Medal

ABV: 7.5% | IBU: 70 

Guayabera (Citra Pale Ale)

Bright berry, lime leaf and tangerine aromas and flavors imparted by our exclusive use of Citra hops are deftly balanced by an assertive bitterness and moderate breadiness from a simple malt bill. Infinitely quaffable but worthy of careful consideration.

ABV: 5.5% | IBU: 50

Tocobaga (Red IPA)

Brimming with Citra hops, our Hoppy Red Ale tempers its bitterness with rich malt flavors reminiscent of caramel and bread crust. Notes of blueberry and pine round out this assertive yet balanced ale. 

2012 Gold Best Florida Beer Championship

ABV: 7.2% | IBU: 75

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (Brown Ale)

Aromas of chocolate, raisins and cinnamon dominate with soft toffee and bread crust notes complimenting. Full bodied and chocolatey on the palate, spice and raisin flavors punctate the underlying beer while a dry finish and vibrant carbonation keep the beer balanced and easy to drink.  

ABV: 5.5% | IBU:25

"It’s a green blast from the past" is how Cigar Aficionado describes this cigar.

The Camacho Candela features a beautiful green wrapper. That alone makes it the perfect cigar for the Eve of St. Patrick's Day (Friday) and on St. Paddy's Day (Saturday) itself.

Ky had two of these cigars back to back when we brought them in this week. That guy rarely does cigars back to back. 

The wrapper is green, but it's all "au natural." As a matter of fact, it takes so much work to make the Candela cigars to make the cigar leaf turn this beautiful green -- without any added color.

We learned that green-wrapper cigars were once so popular in the United States (back in the 50s and 60s), that cigars with candela wrappers became known as American Market Selection.

You’ll enjoy the Camacho Candela whether it’s for St. Paddy’s day or not...

...what better way to finish this post with “Ay Candela” by Ibrahim Ferrer (Bueno Vista Social Club)...
