Famous Smoke Shop introduces VUDU cigars blended by Amilcar P. Castro

New full-flavored Nicaraguan selection receives madcap review

EASTON, PA - In the very recent wake of Halloween, 'tis the season for the mystical and the mysterious, like the new VUDU premium cigars selection which has just been introduced by Famous Smoke Shop. Made at Rocky Patel's Tabacalera Villa Cuba S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua, the blend was developed by none other than Amilcar P. Castro, who has also blended Rocky Patel's critically-acclaimed Renaissance and 1961 cigars. The selection is handcrafted in three sizes and priced affordably. Single cigars will range from $5.00 MSRP for the Robusto to $5.50 MSRP for the Churchill.

To create VUDU cigars, Señor Castro has used "a secret blend" of prime Nicaraguan longfillers and binders rolled in onyx-hued Mexican Maduro wrapper leaves. The smoke is medium to full-bodied offering a robust and complex smoke sustained by a superb balance of dark and sweet tobacco flavors.

The cigars, which has been in-stock for little over a month, has already received some positive word-of-mouth chatter, including the following blog review, which almost defies description.

I know what country I'm going to visit: Poland! They are extremely well known for their evil voodoo traditions.

I booked a flight to Wieliczka, Poland, the famous site of the Wieliczska Salt Mines and the center of all things voodo.
