Earlier this year, Fred Rewey, owner of Nomad Cigar Co., handed me an unbanded cigar. I took a few cold draws, another glance at the dark wrapper and one warm puff and it was apparent, Rewey’s next line was coming from Tabacalera Fernandez S.A. Rewey’s original plan was to have that cigar out a month before the 2014 IPCPR convention and trade show earlier this month, but as it so often does, the Nomad C-276 will ship later this week.
