This cigar which is still being made in Cuba is the masterpiece created when the founding family fled to the United States. Without access to Cuban tobacco the family developed a signature blend that many feel exceeds the Cuban original. With a size for every smoker this medium to full bodied cigar has been enjoyed for decades by countless smokers.
Yes it’s an old one but a superlative and consistent smoke. This maduro blend has just a bit more kick than its natural sister.

Romeo y Julieta Reserve is yet another highly rated edition from this iconic company.
The Reserve is a successful offering appealing to a more diverse group of smokers. The addition Honduran leaves to selected Nicaraguan fillers and binder changes the body of the cigar for sure. Encasing it with a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper completes the formula. The result is a medium-full bodied taste with a flavor that’s not overpowering to your palate.
Cigar Aficionado rates this complex smoke a very respectable score of 90 points. Their description is spot on. “Initial puffs of leather and cinnamon segue into a nutty smoke of almonds and marzipan before the warm, toasty finish. Burn and draw are perfect throughout.” With this in mind, if other Romeos are too mild for you, the Reserve is what you’re looking for!
Origin – Honduras
Filler – Honduran-Nicaraguan
Binder – Nicaraguan
Wrapper – Nicaraguan Habano

Padron Series ‐ Natural is one of this iconic company’s most popular entries.
This Padron Natural is a Nicaraguan puro cigar with a rich, oily, and naturally sweet wrapper. It’s a robust cigar with a thick, creamy smoke and notes of coffee and cocoa. The cigar is hand-rolled with aged Cuban seed tobaccos and aged for at least 2.5 years.
No matter what size or style, Padrons medium to full bodied smokes are always consistently perfect in every way. With a smooth draw, large volume of smoke and robust taste that increases in intensity along the way, it’s no wonder this company’s products are always difficult to find. Rightly expensive and worth every penny.

The Deadwood line is an interesting bunch of cigars. Jonathan Drew put this small batch brand together and launched them in a retail store in Deadwood, South Dakota, hence the name. They were such a huge success that in 2016 this group originally named “Crazy Bitches” went national. We know each has a Maduro wrapper and come from Nicaragua. The fillers and binders are undisclosed.
What you need to know is that the Sweet Jane and Fat Bottom Betty editions are very sweet mild to medium bodied cigars overall. The Crazy Alice is…well….just crazy! It packs more of a punch than the others and possesses more complexity across the board that fall into the “acquired taste” range.The newest Leather Rose is mild to medium bodied as well.
If you’re a fan of Acid cigars, these are must try’s.
