Cigar Rolling Demonstration Comes to Edmonton Area On Aug 28 & 29!

For two days ONLY, Nottingham Cigars & Pipes at their Sherwood Park Location is pleased to welcome Master Roller Elana Flores Lovo, all the way from Nicaragua for an exclusive rolling demonstration.

Elana will demonstrate the rolling of ‘Orgullo de Nicaragua’ cigars, and here’s the best part: you get one of these FREE with the purchase of any 3 cigars from this full-flavoured Nicaraguan brand.

Orgullo de Nicaragua cigars are available in 3 sizes – Robusto, Gran Toro, and Belicoso – and there is both a milder and a stronger blend for each size. The milder blend uses a Connecticut wrapper, while the stronger blend is wrapped in Corojo leaf. Both blends have a Habano leaf binder and all tobacco is harvested from Jalapa and Condega, the two most renowned growing regions in Nicaragua.

So, just take your pick of any 3 of these vitolas and a freshly rolled Robusto is yours for free!

No need to RSVP for this event; just pop by on Friday August 28th from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm or Saturday August 29th from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm and take advantage of this exclusive offer. We hope to see you then!

Biography of Elana Raymunda Flores Lovo

Elana LovoI was born in Estelí, 148 km north of Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. My mother María Lovo is a teacher from Pueblo Nuevo, in the county of Estelí.

I grew up between the two worlds that are tobacco and coffee plantations, and between the country and the city. As a kid, I used to work weekends and holidays on coffee and tobacco plantations.

My first contact with the tobacco world came through my grandmother, who used to make cigars with corn leaves and “capa” leaves that she processed herself. The tobacco she used was grown by her and mixed with leaves that she  bought at the city market.

My father Frank Santiago, owner of the cigar factory that produces the Orgullo de Nicaragua cigars for Distribution GVA, gave me the opportunity to work as a part time executive. This allowed me to further my knowledge about cigars, from farms, crops, harvest, drying and ageing to the making of cigars.

I started to roll three years ago and have perfected my craft for the last 3 years sharing my love of Cigars in both Nicaragua & California.

Now, Thanks to the our partnership between Distribution GVA and Tabacalera Santiago, I am very excited to share with all of you my love of our wonderful Nicaraguan Puros : Orgullo de Nicaragua & La Flor de Nicaragua!
