By now, you most probably have experienced the Leaf by Oscar and the Island Jim #2 cigars from Island Jim Robinson. The Island Jim #2 is the second most viewed cigar review on Stogie Press so I know you all either like that cigar or want to know about it. You may have wondered what this unique cigar man has been up to lately. Well, back at this years IPCPR there was talk about a new collaboration between Island Jim Robinson and his amigo Nick Syris from LH Premium Cigars of Costa Rica. the new cigar was intended to be named the Lavida Isla, but there seemed to be some issues with the name and they decided to brand it Nick & Jim’s P.B.E. If you are wondering what the P.B.E. stands for, it is shorthand for Pre Band Edition.
I just received notification that the Nick & Jim’s P.B.E. will be available exclusively at RodrigoCigars.com TODAY AT 5PM eastern.
Nick & Jims PBE
Nick & Jim’s P.B.E.
So what’s in that box you may ask?
The Nick & Jim’s P.B.E. of course, a cigar that is being made at the LH factory in Costa Rica with a blend that is described as a cigar that is blended for Jim Robinson’s personal taste. The complete blend is described as:
- Wrapper: Cuban seed Vuelta Abajo, Ecuador
- Binder: Cuban seed Vuelta Abajo, Ecuador
- Filler: Costa Rica, Peru
They will be available in single closed foot 6 x 54 vitola. The cigar was originally blended to be a house cigar for Jim’s Leaf and Bean stores but the Nick and Jim decided to do a broader distribution of it.
They will be available in Singles, 5-Packs and 20 ct. Boxes.
Nick Syris noted:
“We decided to take a challenge put in front of us and turn it into a positive…The packaging has a simple, yet rustic look. At the same time, cigar enthusiasts will be getting the same great cigar that was slated to be called Lavida Isla.”
Pricing has been set at $9.95/cigar.
