La Palina Cigars

Just now hitting shelves, the re-launch of this DC-based brand founded in 1896 is kicked off by just-imported, Bahamian-rolled, 4.75 inch/52 gauge "Sam": a signature stoge packed with a blend of Honduran/Nicaraguan tobacco, a binder from Costa Rica, and an Ecuadorian wrapper -- appropriate, as everyone knows that giving up smoking is for Quitos.
