Global Premium Cigars, founded by
Enrique Sanchez Icaza, is one of the growing number of boutique cigar
manufacturers. Their core brand, the 1502, has recently expanded into Europe
and boasts 5 cigars with varying strength: The Nicaragua, the Ruby, Emerald,
Black Gold, and this year's XO. All have consistently received good reviews
from across the cigar-smoking spectrum.
Although their production is
limited, it looks like this proudly Nicaraguan company is getting ready to step into the big arena, with
Mr Sanchez describing the XO as his best blend ever. Now at last month's IPCPR trade
show the company has announced the 1502 Blue Sapphire, a single vitola stick in
6x52 Toro Gordo size which will go into regular production soon.
In my opinion, this is one of the
brands to watch. Their Black Gold is one of my favourite cigars, and I will be
looking to try the rest of their lines soon. I have no doubt I will be
impressed.
I heartily recommend this brand to cigar smokers
new and old. They have something for everyone and are constantly looking to evolve.
