Weekly news week 11 2021
Weekly news week 11 2021. In the last few months, we are putting a spotlight on cigar-related charities. Every second Sunday of the month, we pick one charity to shine in our series on all the good work done by the cigar community. The Dominican Cigar association ProCigar builds homes for people in need with their ‘A home for my family’ program. And we give them the publicity they deserve.
Reviews
The first of the two cigar reviews this week comes from the Dominican Republic. From the Arturo Fuente factory, but it is a J.C. Newman brand. Two families who also bring a lot of good to the Dominican Republic with their charity. It’s a review of the Diamond Crown Maximus Toro. The second cigar review is the Trifecta blue from Tabac Trading Company. A unique concept that makes that cigar very interesting.
