Doral, Florida based boutique cigar maker, PDR Cigars is excited to announce the release of two new signature cigar series to debut at this summer’s IPCPR show in Las Vegas, to be held at the Sands Expo Center from July 13-17.

The AFR-75 marks the second release in a series of signature lines from PDR. AFR-75 references the initials for Master Blender Abraham Flores Rosario and his year of birth, 1975. "I’m really excited about the new lines. We had a lot of success with the A. Flores Serie Privada line and we’re going to be doing more special release small batch projects. As a blender I have a lot of fun creating different blends that we can put out in smaller amounts for the hardcore cigar guys to enjoy", says Abe Flore of PDR Cigars.

The A. Flores Gran Reserva will be made available as a Half Corona(3.5x46), Robusto(5x52), Gran Toro(6x54). The Half Corona will also be available in a 5-count tin as a regular production line. Both the AFR-75 and the A. Flores Gran Reserva will begin shipping in July as this summer is shaping up to be a very exciting one for PDR Cigars. The factory is also producing new releases for El Primer Mundo Cigars with its Costa Fuerte line as well as new lines for Kristoff Cigars and Ortega Cigar Company.

By: Martin A. Berrios

Originally published in Cigars In Review Magazine


Finding the right suit is the key to looking your best. Regardless of your experience with fine garments or tailoring this can be a daunting task. There are many variables to consider during the hunt. The following tips will definitely help you nail the perfect suit.

Set A Budget: Before stepping into any retailer always have a budget in mind, this will save you and the sales associate time. With a budget in place you will be informed of what suits, sales, and sections of the store fit your finances best.
Get Measured: Even if you have a good idea of your numbers always get measured when browsing for a new suit. You may have gained or lost weight since your last purchase which will affect the overall look. This is also your chance to state any special needs or personal preferences that make up your “ideal” fit.
Communicate The Occasion: The type of suit you would wear to a job interview or a big business meeting will differ greatly from what you would wear to a beach wedding. Go for a classic and clean look for anything business related so that means wool, polyester or tweed. If you’re looking for something to sport in the warmer months linen and tropical wool are sure bets. A formal or black tie affair traditionally calls for a tuxedo depending on the event.
Purchasing a suit is an important choice so keeping these factors in mind will make your decision an informed one.
