The Nestor Miranda Cigar "ART DECO" Event

THIS THUR AT DUKES!!!!

The Nestor Miranda Cigar "ART DECO" Event....
Thur March 31st from 5 till 9pm at the Latham shop.

Released a few months ago at the IPCPR trade show in New Orleans, the Nestor Miranda Art Deco cigar has been making its way around with some buzz. Blended by the master blender Don Pepin Garcia, this ...cigar uses both Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos to make up its rich flavors. It comes in three sizes: Coffee Break (4.5×50); Robusto Grande (5.5×54); and Gran Corona (6×60). Instead of the usual wooden boxes, these cigars come in metallic decorated tins.
A nice touch that’s outside of the norm.

This will be Bob's last event in the area, so come in and wish him well as he moves to Virgina.

Don't feel bad if you haven't heard of Pinar Del Rio Cigars, a small independent boutique factory in the Dominican Republic. Pinar Del Rio Cigars, in their fifth year of independent operation, believes in turning out limited quantities of super-high quality product and selling only to select retailers, hence why you may have overlooked their phenomenal cigars. But that's about to change! PDR 1878 Cubano Especial is a medium bodied smoke blended from small-batch Nicaraguan and Dominican long fillers, a Nicaraguan binder, and your choice of a Connecticut or Maduro wrapper. Available in five sizes and packaged in 20 count boxes, PDR 1878 Cubano Especial has a taste that is uniquely its own. PDR 1878 Cubano Especial has quickly become one of our hottest cigars and we want to make sure you've had a chance to try them!

LA AURORA 107AURORA CELEBRATES 107 YEARS

La Aurora has been in business for more than a century-107 years to be exact-and the company is commemorating the milestone with the new Aurora 107 cigar. "We had defined our goal early on," said La Aurora vice president Guillermo León in a release, "and that was to bring the smokers a medium-bodied, richly flavored smoke with a fair amount of spice at a very attractive price. As for the name, it was decided to keep it simple, meaningful and easy to remember, hence La Aurora's 107th year." The cigar comes in three sizes: Robusto (4 1/2 inches by 50 ring), Toro (5 1/2 by 54) and Belicoso (6 1/4 by 52). They are packaged in boxes of 21 and carry suggested retail prices ranging from $6 to $8 each. The blend is composed of an Ecuadoran sun-grown wrapper, Dominican binder and filler from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Stop in Friday, April 30 for the official debut of La Aurora 107. Buy any cigar, of any brand, and you'll get ONE FREE La Aurora 107 Robusto! . As always, we know you have lots of choices when deciding where to buy your tobacco products and we are always GRATEFUL when you choose Duke Bazzel Tobacco & Lounge.

Second Growth Has Arrived!

Just as a master winemaker chooses only choice grapes from the harvest for blending into the finest Bourdeaux wines from France, master tobacco blenders at the world renowned Tabadom cigar factory in the Dominican Republice hand select only the finest leaves from their finishing cellars before passing their mix to rollers who artfully assemble Second Growth leaf by leaf ensuring each cigar delivers optimal flavor and combustion.



When paired with aforementioned Bourdeaux blends and American meritage wines, Second Growth provides a perfectly synchronized flavor experience. While the wind delivers a mouth presence that originates at the back of the tongue majestically working its way forward through the palate, the rich fruit of the wine prepares the palate for the comples interplay of spice, leather, and chocolate notes from this exceptional cigar. At 54 x 7 and 7/8ths inches long Second Growth delivers for hours.

Each Second Growth cigar box is hand furnished and numbered by Irish master craftsman James Row in Portsmouth, New Hampshire from wine barrels used during the maturation of a renowned Second Growth Chateau from the historic, awar-winning Saint Julien appellation of Bordeaux. The concentrated fruit aromas emanating from the barrel staves envelope each cigar imparting a timeless elegance from the fine wine mingled with the spice, leather and chocolate notes in the rare aged tobacco create a taste synthesis befitting the most discerning connoisseur.

Only 1000 boxes were produced and only 300 will be available in the US. We got some, not a ton, but we were lucky to have received what we did and want to share them with you before the disappear. Second Growth cigars are turly one-of-a-kind.

Nub Night (The Best Things Come in Small Packages)

The Oliva family is well known for putting out some great sticks over the years. Nub from Oliva is a short stout cigar that is designed to give you the tast of the "sweet spot" from the moment you light up until the last puff. Don't be taken in by the size. The truth is that Nubs contain as much tobacco as a full-sized Churchill or President and smoke just as long. The difference is you don't have to get halfway down the stick ot get the sweetest taste. Three years in the making, Nub is offered in 4 different wrappers: a complex, full-bodided Habano, the extra delicious, box-pressed Cameroon, the creamy Conneticut, and the new Brazillan Maduro.

Come on in this Thursday, August 20th and meet Rick Delia and get Buy 3, Get 1 Free specials, or buy a box and get a 6 pack of Nubs for FREE! Try a sampler of all 4 kinds with this great offer and find out which wrapper is your favorite.

THE 3^rd ANNUAL GALA OF ANGELS IS SET TO BE HEAVENLY & HEAVILY ATTENDED

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 9, 2009 (Albany, NY)…They said he would be lucky to raise $10,000 in the first year. He told them, “You don’t know me. You don’t know my friends. And you certainly don’t know what we are capable of achieving when we are all together.” Frank Scavio, Owner of Paesan’s Pizza (all 5 locations) proved everyone wrong when he raised $90,000 at his first ever fundraiser for his deceased son’s foundation: The Baby Lorenzo Gregory Scavio Foundation (BLGS).

Now, successfully on his way to hosting The 3^rd Annual Gala of Angels on Saturday, March 7, 2009 at Mallozzi’s (6:00pm), Frank Scavio has secured reputable WNYT NewsChannel 13 Co-Anchor & Health Reporter Benita Zahn as emcee for the evening along with Legrande Serras, Owner & Operator of The Reel Seafood company, as the Live Auctioneer.

The annual benefit has been and will be heavily sponsored by such supporters as The Lia Auto Group, The Mallozzi Group, US Food Service, Hannoush Jewelers, Clear Channel Radio, Karrat Brokerage Co., Times Union, Data Flow, Lake Electronics, Classie Sounds Entertainment, Morgan Linen, Allerdice Rent-All, Fine Affairs, Southern Wine and Spirits, The Floral Garden, Chris’ Coffee Service, The Thomas Patrick Morrison Foundation, Gold’s Gym, Amore Clothing, PEPSI, JDJ Comfort Systems Inc, Christopher J. Lyons, D.M.D. PLLC, Capital Financial Planning, LLC, Bogies, First Niagara Bank, The Murray Law Firm PLLC, FOX23, The Hollywood Brown Derby, The Palace Theatre, Olya Szyjka, Capital Affairs, LLC, Cocca’s Appliances & Home Electronics, Metro 20 Diner, Complexions Spa for Beauty & Wellness, The Lucerne Hotel NYC, Plum & Crimson Fine Interior Design, Antonucci Produce, Helios Tan and Day Spa, Tammy James c/o Creative Memories, Craig T.

The Baby Lorenzo Gregory Scavio Foundation (BLGS) was established by Frank Scavio in 2007 at the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center in Boston to advance awareness about the needs of patients suffering from metabolic and mitochondrial disease. The BLGS Foundation supports initiatives to improve clinical care for patients and to advance the education and training of medical care professionals so that they can properly diagnose and treat those affected by metabolic and mitochondrial disease.

The tremendous support at the 1^st and 2^nd Annual Gala of Angels benefit in honor of the BLGS Foundation has raised over $150,000 in critical research dollars. These funds have enabled Dr. Mark S. Korson, Chief of Metabolic Service for Tufts Medical Center to travel to various medical centers each month to launch the Metabolic Outreach Service. This comprehensive medical education program is designed to expand education and training opportunities for physicians, medical students and other medical care professionals about metabolic and mitochondrial disease and patient care. This program currently serves SIX Medical Centers without a Metabolism Service in New England and New York.
