Unleash the Spirit: Alec Bradley's Filthy Ghooligan Is Here!

As Halloween approaches, a chilling tale from the depths of Alec Bradley Cigars emerges! Deep in the shadows, a spirit has been waiting to possess the perfect vessel, and now, it’s time for the Filthy Ghooligan to rise!

This isn’t just any cigar—it’s a mystical blend of two exquisite wrappers: the rich Ecuadorian Habano and the bold US Broadleaf. Wrapped around an Indonesian Besuki binder, this blend features an enchanting mix of Nicaraguan Jalapa, Esteli, Condega, and Dominican Piloto fillers. The result? The spookiest Black Market cigar ever known to man!

The Filthy Ghooligan is a medium-bodied cigar that promises to delight your senses with notes of cocoa and a honey-like sweetness. It’s the perfect companion for those cool autumn nights, especially as the veil between worlds grows thin.

Come to Havana Phil’s to indulge in this wickedly delightful cigar, enjoy exclusive pairings, and soak in the spooky atmosphere with fellow cigar enthusiasts.

📍 Location: 1628 Battleground Ave, Greensboro, NC 27408

Don’t let this spirit slip away! The Filthy Ghooligan is a limited release, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. Grab yours and ensure your Halloween is filled with the haunting flavors of this extraordinary cigar.

We can’t wait to see you at Havana Phil’s as we conjure the spirit of the Filthy Ghooligan! Embrace the season, light up, and let this cigar exercise your inner demon.

Happy Haunting! 👻🍂

Knuckle Sandwich Packs a Punch + Special Raffle

Havana Phils is excited to introduce the new Knuckle Sandwich cigar line.

Renowned chef Guy Fieri is shaking up the premium cigar scene with Knuckle Sandwich cigars, and I can hardly contain my enthusiasm! As a longtime fan and having had the honor of smoking with Fieri at a show, I love how he channels his vibrant personality into these exceptional cigars. Handcrafted at the San Lotano factory and distributed by Espinosa Cigars, Knuckle Sandwich comes in two variants: a natural and a maduro. Both feature a blend of perfectly aged Nicaraguan long filler and binder tobaccos, wrapped in either an Ecuadorian Habano or an Ecuadorian Sumatra Maduro.

The Habano-wrapped natural offers a delightful mix of white pepper, cedar, nuts, and sweet cream, while the Sumatra maduro reveals rich flavors of dark chocolate, spice, leather, and sweet dried fruit. With a medium-bodied profile for both blends, these cigars are ideal for both novice and seasoned aficionados. These cigars vary in flavor and strength, with the Chef’s Special arguably being the most strong cigar at our store, according to HUMIDOR ED. Stock your humidor with your favorite size and blend now at Havana Phil’s.

Plus, every BOX purchase of Knuckle Sandwich enters you for a chance to win the impressive larger-than-life cigar ashtray on display in our store.

The Knuckle Sandwich is available in four production sizes:

Exquisite Summer Smoke: La Palina 1948

We tried out the La Palina 1948 Diadema and it’s one of our favorites for this summer.

The La Palina 1948 cigar honors Bill Paley, the chairman of La Palina and grandson of the original founder, marking his 75th birthday in March 2023. La Palina has a long-standing tradition of celebrating its founders and their significant milestones, a tradition that continues over 125 years since its inception.

To create this special cigar, La Palina partnered with the renowned Oliva family. The La Palina 1948, crafted in the Olivas' famous Nicaraguan factory, boasts a vintage aesthetic with depictions of Estelí and Manhattan as they were in 1948—the year Bill Paley was born. It features a two-year-aged sun-grown Sumatra wrapper from Ecuador and Nicaraguan binder and filler from the Oliva farms.

The cigar offers a medium strength and delivers flavors of toasted cedar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and hints of ginger snap cookie through the finish.

Smoking the La Palina 1948 is a true delight. From the moment you light it, the cigar showcases impeccable construction, ensuring an even burn and a smooth draw. The flavors are rich and nuanced, with each puff revealing layers of complexity. The toasted cedar provides a warm, woody base, while the nutmeg and cinnamon add a spicy sweetness that is both inviting and intriguing. The subtle touches of ginger snap cookie on the finish offer a delightful surprise, rounding out the flavor profile beautifully.

Enjoying the La Palina 1948 Diadema while relaxing on the sunny Montecristo patio at Havana Phil’s in Greensboro made the experience even more exceptional. The ambiance of the patio complemented the cigar's rich flavors perfectly, creating a memorable smoking experience. Whether you are a seasoned aficionado or a casual smoker, the La Palina 1948 delivers an extraordinary experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

  • Country of Origin: Nicaragua

  • Strength: Medium

  • Wrapper: Sumatra

  • Sizes: Robusto, Diadema (reviewed), Toro

“I am thrilled to have been able to bring this cigar series to life, as it honors both my family and our company, The 75-year journey I have taken, to where I am now, has been a marvelous adventure.

How to Refill Your Butane Cigar Lighter: A Guide

For cigar enthusiasts, a reliable butane lighter is an essential tool for igniting the perfect smoke. But as any aficionado knows, keeping your lighter properly fueled is key to enjoying a consistent and satisfying burn. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to refill your butane cigar lighter, ensuring that you're always ready to indulge in your favorite cigars.

1. Choose the Right Butane: Not all butane is created equal. Look for high-quality, filtered butane specifically designed for refilling lighters. This will help prevent clogs and ensure a clean burn.

2. Prepare Your Lighter: Before refilling, it's essential to purge any remaining fuel and air from your lighter. To do this, use a small screwdriver or a dedicated purge tool to press the fuel release valve and bleed out the remaining butane.

3. Refill the Lighter: Hold the lighter upside down and insert the nozzle of the butane canister into the filling valve on the bottom of the lighter. Press down firmly for about 5-10 seconds, allowing the butane to flow into the lighter. Be careful not to overfill, as this can cause leaks or malfunctions.

4. Wait and Adjust: After refilling, wait a few minutes to allow the butane to reach room temperature. This will ensure a more consistent flame when you ignite your lighter. If necessary, adjust the flame height using the flame adjustment wheel or screw on the lighter.

5. Test the Lighter: Once your lighter is refilled and adjusted, test it to ensure it's working correctly. Depress the ignition button to ignite the flame and check for a steady, even burn. If the flame is weak or flickering, you may need to bleed the lighter again and refill with fresh butane.

6. Maintain Your Lighter: Regular maintenance is key to keeping your butane lighter in optimal condition. Clean the burner and ignition mechanism periodically to remove any debris or buildup that could affect performance.

For those in need of butane refills or lighter servicing, visit Havana Phil’s in Greensboro. Our expert staff can assist you with all your cigar-related needs, and we carry major brands such as Colibri and Dupont. Ensure that your cigar-smoking experience is always top-notch with a properly fueled lighter from Havana Phil’s.

A Perfect Match: Pairing Cigars and Steak for Ultimate Enjoyment

There's something undeniably luxurious and indulgent about the combination of a perfectly cooked steak and a fine cigar. Both offer a sensory experience that can be enhanced when enjoyed together, creating a symphony of flavors and aromas that tantalize the palate. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or just beginning to explore the world of cigars and steak pairings, this guide will help you elevate your dining experience to new heights.

1. Consider the Cut and Flavor Profile of the Steak: Just as different wines complement specific dishes, different cigars complement specific cuts of steak. For example, a robust, full-bodied cigar pairs well with a rich, marbled ribeye, while a milder cigar may be better suited to a leaner cut like filet mignon. Consider the flavor profile of the steak—whether it's smoky, peppery, or buttery—and choose a cigar that will either complement or contrast those flavors.

2. Match Intensity: It's essential to match the intensity of the cigar with the intensity of the steak. A bold, spicy cigar may overpower a delicate cut of steak, while a mild cigar might get lost when paired with a heavily seasoned or charred steak. Aim for balance, ensuring that neither the cigar nor the steak overwhelms the palate.

3. Consider the Wrapper: The wrapper of a cigar plays a significant role in its flavor profile. Maduro wrappers, known for their rich, earthy flavors, pair well with hearty steaks like porterhouse or T-bone, while Connecticut wrappers, with their milder flavor profile, complement lighter cuts such as flank or sirloin.

4. Contrast or Complement: Decide whether you want the flavors of the cigar to contrast with or complement those of the steak. For example, a spicy cigar can provide a pleasant contrast to a sweet and savory steak, while a cigar with notes of coffee or cocoa can enhance the richness of a well-marbled steak.

5. Experiment: The beauty of pairing cigars and steak lies in the endless possibilities for experimentation. Don't be afraid to try different combinations to discover what works best for your palate. Keep notes on what you enjoy to refine your pairings over time.

Now that you're armed with the knowledge of how to pair cigars and steak, it's time to elevate your dining experience to the next level. And for those seeking guidance or looking to expand their cigar collection, look no further than Havana Phil’s. Our knowledgeable staff will help curate the perfect selection of cigars to complement your steak, ensuring a truly unforgettable dining experience. Visit us today and embark on a journey of flavor and indulgence.

Elevate Your Experience: The Art of Pairing Whiskey with Cigars

Indulging in a fine cigar while sipping on a glass of whiskey is a time-honored tradition that aficionados have cherished for generations. When done right, the combination of rich, complex flavors from both the cigar and the whiskey can create a symphony of taste sensations that elevate the experience to new heights. In this guide, we'll explore the art of pairing whiskey with cigars, helping you unlock the perfect harmony of flavors every time.

1. Understand Flavor Profiles: Just as with wine pairing, understanding the flavor profiles of both your whiskey and your cigar is essential for a successful pairing. Whiskeys can range from light and floral to bold and smoky, while cigars can vary in strength and flavor notes such as earthy, spicy, or sweet. Consider the dominant flavors of each and aim to create a complementary or contrasting pairing.

2. Match Intensity: Pairing intensity is crucial when pairing whiskey with cigars. A full-bodied cigar may overpower a delicate whiskey, while a bold whiskey can overshadow a milder cigar. Aim for balance by matching the intensity of the whiskey with the strength of the cigar, ensuring that neither one dominates the palate.

3. Consider Regional Pairings: Whiskey and cigar aficionados often turn to regional pairings for inspiration. For example, a peaty Scotch whisky from Islay may pair beautifully with a full-bodied cigar, while a smooth bourbon from Kentucky could complement a milder cigar with hints of caramel and spice. Explore different whiskey regions and their flavor profiles to discover new and exciting pairings.

4. Experiment with Contrast and Complement: When pairing whiskey with cigars, you can either seek to complement or contrast the flavors of each. Complementary pairings enhance similar flavor notes, such as pairing a bourbon with sweet vanilla undertones with a cigar featuring hints of cocoa. Conversely, contrasting pairings juxtapose different flavor profiles, such as pairing a smoky Scotch with a spicy, peppery cigar.

5. Take Your Time: The key to enjoying a whiskey and cigar pairing is to savor the experience. Take your time to sip and puff slowly, allowing the flavors to mingle and evolve on your palate. Pay attention to how the flavors interact and how they change throughout the duration of the pairing.

6. Personal Preference: Ultimately, the best whiskey and cigar pairing is the one that you enjoy the most. Don't be afraid to trust your palate and experiment with different combinations until you find the perfect match for your tastes.

For those looking to explore the world of whiskey and cigar pairings, Havana Phil’s in Greensboro offers a curated selection of premium cigars and a wide range of whiskeys from around the world. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or a curious novice, our knowledgeable staff can help you find the perfect pairing to elevate your cigar-smoking experience.
