The Total Vapor


Johnny Depp has switched. So have Kate Moss, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, Robert Pattinson, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Lady Gaga goes both ways, and it’s been reported (though unconfirmed) that Ryan Seacrest might be in the closet about his preference. Then there was that infamous moment when Katherine Heigl actually did it on Letterman, “I bet I’m freaking y’all out right now!” she told her stunned host. “Someone better call the Police!
This is how Drew Grant from the New York Observer opened his article on Vaping…
That is smoking an electronic cigarette.

And it’s not just famous and the beautiful—Americans are struggling with their embarrassing habits, too.
The night before the United Nations General Assembly met last month, Maggie Norris, an Upper East Side clothing designer, was nervously tapping her feet inside the grand entrance to the Waldorf-Astoria. While the leaders of 90 different countries gathered for an awards ceremony, Ms. Norris fingered her contraband.
“Do you think I can use this in here?” she asked, brandishing her electronic cigarette. She turned her back and discreetly inhaled, releasing a puff of water vapor. We stood guard: no one had noticed
People liked the fact that they could “vape” inside restaurants, since most city’s authoritarian health powers that be have not yet decreed that blowing out nicotine-enhanced water vapor indoors poses the same threat as smoking in a public park.
I quite smoking six years ago, I wish I had picked up on it. It wouldn’t have been so harsh. Just like a patch. People can downgrade the amount of nicotine they use.
Your clothes doesn’t smell! You don’t smell! NO DOG BREATH!!
Though countries including Singapore, Hong Kong, Brazil, Australia and Lebanon have banned e-cigs, an estimated 2.5 million were sold in the U.S. last year. Here, they are available in disposable and rechargeable form everywhere from bodegas to newspaper kiosks, and you can “vape” legally anywhere in the city, including indoors.
And there is no tobacco tax, there for in the long run it ends up being less expensive the even the roll your own cigarettes.
If you live in NEW YORK, you will save anywhere around $1,500 to $3,000 per year!
Imagine Canada!!
There is no tar, no substance causing respiratory blockage. No risk of second hand smoking. And its becoming part of our culture. In New York there is a vaping convention where some 300 people attend every year (and climbing), and which their numbers increase. There are podcasts with vapers, videos on YouTube and bloggers describing their experiences with the e-cigarette.
We  at Benningtons waited 2 years. Made every inquiry possible, and we finally arrived at the conclusion that the THE VAPOR EGO Cigarette is the best. The smoker gets the best quality product and the best bang for their buck.

We carry:
The VAPOR: Disposable e-cigarette. 500 uses


The TOTAL VAPOR: A premium kit in a zip case with 2 atomizers, the E liquid, 2 batteries, 1 wall charger, and a neck attachment. The Short Battery

The TOTAL VAPOR: A premium kit in a zip case with 2 atomizers, the E liquid, 2 batteries, 1 wall charger, and a neck attachment. The Long Battery


It’s a nice thing to do when you don’t want to hurt yourself or other people….

* Note: Each E-Liquid bottle is worth a carton of cigarettes

 Or just watch the video....lol 
 Clean smokin'!

Niño Vasquez - Antonius

Nino Vasquez was established in 1998 in Pompano Beach, Florida. At the hight of the cigar boom! 

These cigars use a top quality Connecticut wrapper combined with full flavor, robust Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. 
Many cigar smokers have written excellent reviews about these smokes and they do come highly recommended. 
Cigar Aficionado has constantly given high scores to many of the Niño Vasquezes lines. The Antonius  line was awarded a healthy 93 rate.
If you're looking for a good, powerful smoke with great construction where evidently attention to detail, try Antonius, Cask-Aged or King Series.

Davidoff Puro D'Oro Gorditos

We just got them in! This weather is perfect for a good smoke and a great Bar B Q!

Davidoff “Puro d’Oro” Gorditos
Format:  Short Robusto
Length: 9.4 cm, 3 ¾″
Diameter: 2.3 cm, 58 RG
Wrapper: Dominican Republic (Yamasá)
Binder :Dominican Republic
Filler Dominican Republic
Price:
$14.00 Each
$350.00- (Davidoff “Puro d’Oro” Gordito 25’S)
$ 56.00- (Davidoff “Puro d’Oro” Gordito cello 4’S)


The Davidoff “Puro
d’Oro” Gorditos, a new additional format to the series, provide strong, intense smoking
pleasure in just 30 minutes. This innovative short and thick 58 ring gauge format suits
the needs of the urban aficionados who lead hectic business lifestyles, allowing them to kick
back and relax or enjoy short breaks with intensely pleasurable draws.

As with all Davidoff “Puro d’Oro” cigars, the Gorditos are made with 100% Dominican
tobacco. The tobacco leaves are carefully selected before being stored for at least five years
and perfectly blended. The Yamasá wrapper is a particular feature of the “Puro d'Oro” series.
It is dried and fermented for an exceptionally long time, which gives it its darker colour, oily
appearance and intense aromas. Due to the cigar’s shorter length, the notes of coffee, spices,
roasted flavour and the series typical hint of sweetness develop faster. The result: a full body
cigar boasting strong to intense flavours and rich aromas. As the Spanish diminutive form
suggests, Gorditos are short and thick, with a ring gauge of 58 and a length of 3 ¾″. The
golden bands on the head and foot of the cigar which wraps around the dark brown Yamasá
wrapper with its elegant shimmer, are the special trademark of this exceptional series.
Enjoy the best
enjoy Davidoff....

Davidoff Limited Edition Year of The Snake 2013


Ancient Chinese wisdom says a Snake in the house is a good omen
because it means your family will not starve. This could be taken
metaphorically to mean that a Snake could never have a problem with
his family starving because he is such a great mediator, making him
good at business.  It is  representative of the Snake’s character and is a measure of the value he puts on his
material wealth. The Snake is keen and cunning, quite intelligent and
wise.
Snake Years are sixth in the cycle, following the Dragon Years, and
recur every twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not fall on a
specific date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find the exact
date on which each Snake Year actually begins.
 
Davidoff stands for artistry, attention to detail, love and passion. Limited editions are a playground
for our master blenders to create unique and unrepeatable blends using very rare, special and aged
tobaccos. This limited edition was inspired by the year of the snake, which according to Chinese
Zodiac, begins on February 10, 2013. The Snake, like Davidoff, stands for sophistication, refinement
and elegance. The shape of the snake, box and number of cigars leverage the number 8, the most
auspicious in Chinese culture, partly due to its unique symmetry and because its pronunciation is
similar to that for “prosperity” and “fortune”. The red color is inspired by the red envelope exchange
in China to wish good fortune for the coming year. The Year of the Snake is an adventure for the
senses of all aficionados.

Elegant Churchill format to allow for long, pleasurable celebration
Highly aromatic with mild-medium strength ideal for attracting new consumers to Davidoff
Beautiful octagonal red-lacquered wooden box with double band cigars
Blended by Henke Kelner, master blender
Only 4,500 boxes available worldwide

What a way to start the year!!
Long ashes,

La Reina Loca






Crazy Queen?
Oh, yes... Joanna of Castillia was so in love with her hubby that she became obsessed.
After her husband's death she was locked up. The powers that be said she was nuts ( his funeral lasted 8 month..) But there are others who say that her son Carlos did not wish her to ascend to the throne.

Anyway, we've got a new cigar made in Miami, the wrapper is a luscious  dark Ecuadorian tobacco.
The filler is Dominican and Nicaraguan. We arrived at the conclusion that its a medium smoke.

Made at 8th street by a Cuban master blender especialy for Benningtons.
Come and check it out. Enjoy one in our smoke room with a great cup o'joe! Check out Jim's video describing this great little cigar...
Have a great week and weekend.
