You heard right! Master cigar maker Jesus Fuego is returning to De La Concha on September 23rd for an in store dinner. Jesus Fuego was born and raised in Cuba. His family has been in the tobacco business since 1876. After completing his degree at Pinar de Rio University, he decided to continue his family heritage by entering the tobacco business in Honduras. After working for a variety of big name cigar makers, he launched his very successful brand, the J. Fuego.
As the success of his cigar lines increased, he began to branch out to blending for other makers. One of his greatest moments came when the Xikar HC Series was released. Blended by Jesus Fuego, this brand comes in 3 distinct lines:
The HC Series Connecticut Shade: A cigar 5 years in the making, Jesus Fuego and Xikar worked to produce a cigar that stays true to the Connecticut character but with a little more strength and taste. This lighter but tasty blend has a filler blend from Costa Rica, Mexico and Nicaragua.
The HC Series Criollo: A perfectly balanced medium bodied blend of tobaccos from Honduras and Nicaragua. The 5 year aged Shade Grown Criollo wrapper from Nicaragua and the Sun Grown Criollo binder also from Nicaragua complete this great blend.
The HC Series Habano Colorado: This rich bodied cigar is smooth and full wrapped in a beautiful Habano Colorado leaf from the Jalapa Valley with a filler from Costa Rica, Jalapa and Honduras.
These wonderful cigar creations will be featured at an in store dinner on September 23rd at 8:00pm. Our lovely model and great live music will greet you as we begin our evening. The dinner will be a 3-course meal catered by Rue 57 and will include a full open bar.
You will also have a rare chance to meet Kurt Van Keppel, president of Xikar and Jerry Dear the Vice President of Sales.
There will also be raffles and prizes during the evening as well. And, of course, you will be enjoying this evening with Jesus Fuego and his HC Series cigars.
This all-inclusive evening of drinks, dinner, entertainment, cigars and smoking freedom is only $135.00 tax included. So make plans to join Jesus on his return and have a wonderful evening...at De La Concha...since 1964.
Seating is limited and tickets are sold on a first come first serve basis. Please call 212-757-3167 to order your tickets or come into De La Concha located on 6th Ave. (bet. 56th and 57th St.) New York City.
We hope to see you September 23rd for this very special event.
Sincerely,
General Manager
