The second annual Louisiana Wing-a-thon is sure to be a wing-lover’s dream brought to life.  Come out to the Baton Rouge River Center on Saturday, February 28 at 11am to sample wings from many restaurants/bars across the Baton Rouge area.  These restaurants will be competing for “The Hottest Wing,” “Most Unique Wing,” and “Best Overall Wing.”  All guests will have a chance to cast their vote for each category.  Last year’s reigning winners will be back to defend their titles. The Hottest Wings 2014 went to Wings of Glory for their “Devil Sweat.” The winner of Most Unique Wings 2014 went to Stoubes for their delectable “Crawtator” Wings. The Best Wings in Baton Rouge 2014 went to Pluckers!

You love running. You love wings. You can actually eat your way to victory with time bonuses for the amount of wings eaten. Come participate in a 5K fun run/chicken-wing eating contest BEFORE you enter the 2015 Wing-a-thon held at the River Center. The 5K will begin at 10:30am on top of the levee by the USS Kidd and head down to Tin Roof Brewing Company for a wing-eating and beer drinking pit stop before heading back to the finish line and the Wing-a-thon that opens at 11:00am. Your race entry includes FREE entry into the Wing-a-thon, which is normally a $20 ticket. You are practically losing money NOT racing in this race!

Free Cigars! Nat Sherman “Cut & Light” Event at HPBR

Saludos,

Greetings, cigarians. Election Day is tomorrow so we are sure you could use a cigar whether to celebrate your candidate’s victory or to ease the pains of a political loss. Well, we at Habana Port Cigar Merchants received a call from Jimmy and Ike of Nat Sherman Cigars. They will be stopping by our Baton Rouge location tomorrow evening. They are offering any customer who comes in (Tuesday, November 4 from 5 to 7 pm) a complimentary Nat Sherman cigar. So if you are not aware of this legendary brand, now is the time to try their blends with no risk. Now if we could only just vote for candidates who are pro-cigar…

Nat Sherman Cigar “Cut & Light”
Date: Tuesday, November 4, 2014
Time: 5 to 7 pm
Location: Habana Port Cigar Merchants in Baton Rouge, LA
 


Nat Sherman Background
Nat Sherman has created the Timeless Collection Dominican with the assistance of Fonseca-maker, Manuel Quesada. This is the line that has garnered Nat Sherman a few recent Cigar Aficionado Top 25 Rankings and has resurrected their line of cigars. This is a full-bodied and truly full-flavored cigar. The flavors include a natural sweetness due to the oily Honduran wrapper and the balance comes from the Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. The cigar has a rich and pleasant aroma and ends with a good long finish of nuts and espresso. A must-try. 
 

We hope you will join us for this “meet and greet” with the fine gentlemen of Nat Sherman. Spread our message and Like Free Nat Sherman Cigars at Habana Port BR on Facebook this email!

Matilde Cigar Event

Saludos,

Greetings Matilde men and maidens. We would like to inform you of our next cigar tasting which will take place in Baton Rouge. You can read the post by clicking here or reading below:
We are happy to announce that Ruben Gonzalez of small-batch cigar company Matilde Cigars will make a special appearance at our Habana Port Baton Rouge location.  Read below for details and mark your calendars for this occasion:

Matilde Cigar Tasting Event
Date: Thursday, October 30, 2014
Time: 5 to 8 pm
Location: Habana Port Cigar Merchants in Baton Rouge, LA
 


Event Details
Ruben Gonzalez, partner of Tabacalera Matilde, will join us this evening to educate us about the cigars in his company’s portfolio. Entry is complimentary yet you can participate in our event-only deals. When you buy any 4 Matilde Cigars cigars, you will receive 1 complimentary cigar. When you buy any 7 Matilde cigars, you will receive 2 free cigars. We will also have some “light fare” from Bergeron’s.
 

Matilde Background
With nearly 60 years of experience in the cigar industry, Jose Seijas has launched Matilde in 2014. It is the first cigar brand created by Seijas since he retired from Altadis in 2012. As general manager of their Dominican-based Tabacalera de Garcia factory, Seijas oversaw the production of 60 million cigars a year including brands like Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta. Retirement was not an option for Seijas and 2 years later, he set up a much smaller factory in La Romana intent on making cigars on a smaller scale. The Matilde Renacer is the first line for the new factory and uses a Habano Ecuador wrapper. The profile includes a rich, earthy layer with molasses and cocoa. The finish is leathery yet smooth. We hope you will join us for this special engagement.
