There's nothing quite like the city of Florence. Steeped in historical architecture, beautiful scenery and some of the most incredible culinary hotspots you'll ever experience, it provided the perfect back drop to launch three special new EGM cigars.
Taking in the scenery en route, it's easy to get lost in the beauty of what Florence has to offer. Following a hearty lunch, there's no better cigar to enjoy the occasion than the Bleco. Bringing Havana to Florence, this unique vitola features the emblematic 'cabeza tumbada' or dropped head, typical of the Cuban '109' cigar format. It comes with a 52-ring gauge and is 120mm in length, an all-rounder for every occasion, and its flavour profile is medium.
Nightlife is something else in Florence, and whilst we have our favourite spots—be it Harry's, Paszkowski or pretty much anywhere that serves wine—to experience the WMBrown Magazine summer party during Pitti Uomo, held at Sina Villa Medici, is to experience a night like no other. Here, the occasion calls for the Tiburones. Initially debuted in Saudi Arabia, we finally launched this delectable cigar this summer. Short but punchy, with a medium to full strength and crafted in the popular Medio Siglo vitola, it measures 102mm in length by 52 ring gauge— perfect 30-minute smoke.
