When you have a chance, click the “Ask Richie” icon on the upper left hand side of the screen and check out the “Bundles of Joy” article. It was just a matter of time before Ernesto Carrillo joined the club of offering hand made premium cigars for around $3 that we could readily enjoy every day without guilt. This edition is just that. The difference between this value brand and many others is the Master Blender behind it. This five country blend produces a complexly balanced medium bodied stick yielding a great aroma, easy draw and wonderful taste. Thank you Ernesto for thinking about us mere mortals! Pick you favorite size and you’ll see what I mean. PS, let them age and they get even better!!

Those folks that found the Original 13 edition a bit too strong were delighted when this Connecticut style was introduced. This stick burns long and cool yielding a mild to mellow flavor throughout with enough complexity to set it apart from other mild manner entries. I still can’t believe the massive 7×70 Gordo is the top seller!

Aptly named for a preference for darkness or the night, this edition pushed the flavor meter just about as far as you could go. With a Nicaraguan blend of fillers and binder within a near black San Andreas Mexican wrapper, this stick combines sweetness and spice in a flat out full bodied, strong cigar. Buckle up!

This edition is a very slow burning stick that’s jammed packed with tobacco. Even though it has a combination of sweet and spicy tastes, this is a very strong cigar that gains intensity on all fronts as you move along. Buckle Up!

We know Master Blender Christian Eiroa understand what Corojo is all about about what it’s supposed to taste like. After all, his signature Camacho Corojo serves as the category’s benchmark. This very full bodied Honduran puro is balanced and strong from the start and gains intensity as you move along. Buckle up!

This was the second Insidious entry utilizing the same blend of fillers and binder as the mild tasting Original. The addition of a San Andreas Mexican Maduro wrapper moved it’s character into the medium bodied range while retaining its smoothness.
