Beverly Hills Cigar Club Offers Three Great Picks for a Laid Back Holiday

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For this Labor Day, Vin Lee, Beverly Hills Cigar Club CEO, has pulled out his best pick of the sticks -- three top drawer smokes to go along with any level of celebration to cap off the summer. So whether you are stoking up the Santa Anas of Southern California, enjoying the cool breezes of the Boston shore or hanging with the hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, heed Lee’s advice, as these cigars are sure to make it that much cooler or that much hotter.

For the beginning cigar enthusiast, Vin suggests you tie one on and tie one off for summer 2010 with the Alec Bradley Prensado. This full bodied, sophisticated cigar was rated a 93 by Cigar Insider. A superbly constructed Honduras cigar designed for a weekend celebration of the good life, it is box pressed, giving even the most amateur smoker that extra hint of style that will impress the ladies. Light one up and then cool down with a chilled mug of Ionizer Lager from Lightening Breweries of San Diego.

Lee encourages his fellow cigar enthusiasts, those who can easily name off their top five faves, to enjoy this year’s Labor Day with the Rocky Patel Decade. This fine Sumatra cigar was 10 years in the making. With a 95 rating from Cigar Insider, the Rocky Patel Decade is a great complement to one of Lee’s own picks, the 2008 Native Yeast Chardonnay of Iron Horse Vineyards, especially if sharing both with that special someone.

Cigar Aficionados, the true keepers of the leaf, should lock the humidor this Labor Day weekend. Keep all that vintage tobacco "on ice" and celebrate the coming of fall humming one of Lee’s suggested favorites, a 601 Blue Label Maduro by tobacco genius Pepin Garcia and Miami's own Eric "Shorty" Espinosa. Of course it wouldn't do that cigar justice to smoke a Blue Label if you didn't drink one as well. So make sure to invite Johnny Walker along on your trip to Baja. Lee does suggest you press your cubes with AquaHydrate Mineral Water. No sense in watering Walker down with anything less.
