Cigar Journal 1/2016 Spring Edition

Cigar Journal 1/2016 Spring Edition

In the most literal sense, Vahé Gérard, inventor of a unique ventilation system for lounges, takes the title of our spring issue. Airkel, as the entire system is called, could be the solution for a shared and mutual togetherness between smokers and non-smokers – should society and politicians want it. The ultra-effective ventilation system by the cigar merchant from Geneva constantly replaces indoor air through tiny holes in the floor and ceiling.
We talked with Berta Bravo, the woman commonly known as Guayabera Lady. Thirteen years ago, she carried forward the family tradition and started selling the Guayabera shirts from the trunk of her car. The Guayabera style has long become a fashion statement in the cigar scene. In our Fact Check column, Didier Houvenaghel clears up the myths surrounding the cigar. In this issue he discusses the fuss about wrappers. Our far travelled author Simon Lundh took the challenge to travel around Cuba for a month without much pre-planning.
Long-awaited, much loved: the Habanos Ediciónes Regionales. For the Ediciónes Regionales 2014, we tested twelve cigars for you. In our regular blind tastings we test smoked another 60 cigars for you.
The new issue of Cigar Journal is available at newsstands and tobacco specialist stores all over the world.
