I was invited to the Global Launch Party for Second Growth Cigars held Wednesday May 26, 2010 at Club Macanudo in NY, NY.
Cigar Agency in NH is doing the marketing on these and according to the hype, Second Growth is an exclusive cigar made by Henkie Kelner at the Tabadom Factory in Santiago. The boxes this cigar comes in are made from the actual wine barrels from St. Julien, France and only 400 of these vessels were made in the United States.
This was a big deal, but unfortunately I couldn't attend so I missed out on "a once in a lifetime opportunity" ... Media Coverage from all over was invited including Cigar Aficionado ... Hors d'Ouvres, Vodka, wine and tasting of the cigars was provided to your attendees.
A quick search reveals a box selling for just under $1,000US with actual prices over $600. I see our Geeks data base lists this cigar but (no surprise) without reviews.
Fellow Geeks who are in the business -- I'd be interested in your input concerning Second Growth cigars.
