About the Brew

Dark Cloud

     Dark Cloud is being selected because of its similaritiy to two of our most popular Drew Estate lines: My UZI Weighs a Ton and Undercrown.  Since their introduction to the Drew Estate porfolio these two cigars have seen an enormous growth in popularity because of their complexity and medium to full flavor profiles.  But like Dark Cloud, they come with similar advice "don't let the color fool you, it is by no means heavy, overbearing or bitter."  We're excited to host the DE Brand and one of North Carolina's very own craft breweries into the shop Thursday, August 15th.

Steeped in a long history dating back hundreds of years, this "old-fashioned" beer is again in vogue. Lager is the German word meaning "to store," so this beer ages three times longer than ales do. "Dunkel" means dark in German, but don't let the color fool you, it is by no means heavy, overbearing or bitter. In fact, it proves to be a very drinkable session beer
Beer Style: Munich Dunkel

The Brew Master Says: "I like to describe our Munich Dunkel as a mild lager that just happens to be dark. It drinks incredibly smooth with a malty finish."


FAQ

- Will there be other drinks available? No, we're only featuring this one pairing for the night.

- Does this mean the Cigar Bar is now open?  No, we've got our ABC permit which is why we're featuring a beer at this event but the full blown bar isn't open yet.

- When will it be open?  We're shooting for mid-September.  Stay tuned for updates.

The BOLD New Camacho Now Available at Anstead's

CAMACHO
BOLD IS BACK

Summary:  Re-Blended, Re-Packaged, and Price Reduced.

Camacho, the world’s leading brand of bold cigars, today revealed one of the most brazen moves in their nearly fifty-year history. The brand is taking an aggressive stance on the future and aims to reset the bar for bold and full flavored cigars. Nearly all elements of Camacho have been intensified; starting with a bolder brand identity, a fierce assortment of revamped blends, stunning packaging, and an array of killer consumer experiences that sum up this effort in one simple statement – Camacho is back and bolder than ever.

The new branding, which features an aggressively-poised scorpion, is a fusion of both the old school heritage and modern day vibe of the brand. The Scorpion mark, a nod to Camacho’s aggressive and entrepreneurial spirit, personifies a number of core characteristics of the brand: power, fearlessness, passion and competition. “The core values and DNA of who we are have not been altered, the volume has been cranked and the focus has been intensified. Our new image is a strong representation both of what we were and who we have become. It’s a badge of honor to be worn by the powerful, elemental person who seeks to live his life the way we do – all-out and full throttle,” said Dylan Austin, head of marketing for Camacho.

Four out of the six blends have been upgraded and taken to heights that most cigars have never dared climb. “We did an immense amount of work on the blends. It wasn’t about reinventing what people had come to love; it’s been about getting back to what they had come to love and making additional upgrades along the way. Impact is the most important component of our cigar-making philosophy, along with consistency. We kept what was great, like our Authentic Corojo, and made it better. For our famed Corojo, a top-grade fifth priming wrapper is now standard – it’s back to knock your socks off level”, said Austin.

One of the most impactful components to the reintroduction is Camacho’s new team of co-conspirators and curators of bold lifestyle. Hall of Fame NFL football player and coach, Mike Ditka, Room101 brand owner, Matt Booth and screenwriter, Rob Weiss, have joined Camacho to serve on what the brand calls, the Board of the Bold. “Coach, Booth and Weiss are guys that live the Camacho way of life, they do it pedal to the floor everyday and pull no punches. Each of them anchors what we stand for down to the core, all of them have accomplished great things in life because of their boldness,” says Austin.
 
ABOUT Camacho:

Camacho is the world’s leading brand of bold cigars, representing the concept of unleashing unmistakable and intense experiences. Infamous since 1962, the brand has become a sanctuary for the powerful, elemental being who seeks to fill their lives with unapologetic good times. A combination of rich heritage, product excellence and a never surrender attitude has enabled Camacho to grow into an aggressive brand globally recognized as the standard of full-frontal flavor and full-frontal lifestyle.
