La Gloria Cubana Maduro

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. Origin - Dominican Republic Filler - Brazilian-Dominican-Mexican-Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Ecuador Sumatra -

$8.00 – $204.52We all know this iconic brand. There are literally dozens of Romeo y Juliet brand styles available for all of us to enjoy today. This 90 rated edition is formally named, Habana Reserve and came to market in 2011. It was and still is another successful offering to appeal to more smokers.

Oliva Nub Maduro
$37.99 – $184.00When the pure Nicaraguan contents of this edition are encased in a very dark, oily Brazilian maduro wrapper it seems as thought the needle on the taste meter moves to the higher end of the scale.

Oliva Nub Cameroon
$29.99 – $174.40Scoring a 92 and becoming a top 25 cigar for the year says it all! I’m a huge fan of African Cameroon wrappers on any cigar. On this edition, its especially tasty. This stick is a mildly spicy, medium to slightly full bodied smoke with a cool burn and complex taste. I highly recommend a five pack of 3×58’s.

Oliva Flor De Oliva Original
$48.00 – $64.00This great brand traces its roots back to 1886 when Melanio Oliva began growing tobacco in Cuba. After the revolution, his grandson Gilberto went to Spain and then settled in Nicaragua. In 1995 Gilberto and his son Gilberto Jr. launched the company. If you're a fan of Oliva cigars, you'll agree that this company delivers what you pay for. While their super premiums are priced fairly considering the great sticks they are.......they ain't cheap! When the Flor De Oliva bundles of value-priced premiums were launched, the company made it very clear that everyone can now enjoy their brand every day for around $3 each! Even those folks that smoked long cigars with big ring sizes. The Original edition is a medium-bodied stick that burns slowly and increases in intensity as you move along. I've often smoked the Churchills halfway down and thrown the rest away without any guilt!

AJ Fernandez La Gran Llave Maduro
$32.00 – $200.00Most of us know that virtually all of AJ’s brands have been 90+ rated cigars. It’s really just a matter of personal taste which one ends up being your favorite. When the La Gran Llave Maduro hit the streets in the summer of 2018 it clipped a 90 rating right off the bat. I think what sets this particular brand apart are two important things. First off the San Andreas Mexican Maduro wrapper is nearly perfect in appearance and adds a tasty, crispy twist to this medium-full bodied stick. Secondly and more importantly, this cigar is absolutely jammed packed with tobacco. It almost feels hards to the touch which is a good thing! It's a long smoking experience that seems to burn forever so don't go walking your dog and expect to finish it unless you want to be out for more than an hour! Origin - Nicaragua Filler - Nicaraguan Binder - Habano Wrapper Type - Maduro -
Nat Sherman Metropolitan Selection Maduro
$25.00 – $153.00Like it's (Blue) Connecticut edition sister, this dark version is not to be feared! While the Broadleaf wrapper used on this well made stick ups the needle on the flavor meter into the medium bodied range, it still remains smooth with a tiny bit of very mild spice. If you have the the whole day to kill smoking one cigar, get a five pack of [8x70] Tycoons!

Herrera Esteli Habano
$31.99 – $224.57Now I really know you know what you’re looking for! When Master Blender Willy Herrera teamed up with Jonathan Drew (Drew Estate) in 2014 it caught everyone’s attention. As this first Habano edition hit the street receiving an incredible 94 rating along with placing #8 in the top 25 cigars of the year, we all knew a new level of cigar making had begun. This stick is a super smooth, medium bodied, perfectly made cigar with an ample draw. Its slow burn is balanced with a complex taste that slightly increases in intensity as you move along. Only as it draws to a close do you experience a robust full bodied taste reminiscent of Cuban made powerhouses. I’ve often said that taste is a personal preference. This is one of my favorite cigars ever. I highly recommend purchasing a box of 10 Toro Tubes and allowing them to continue aging.

Cohiba Black
$59.00 – $418.08OK. So here we are looking at Cohiba Cigars. We all know that the Cohiba name is probably the most recognizable name in the cigar industry throughout the world. If you’ve smoked one of the real Cuban Cohibas over the last few years, if you’re honest with yourself, you may want to quietly admit that it wasn’t worth the astoundingly expensive price it cost. General Cigar’s dogged determination to retain the property rights to this icon has been long fought and hard one. I have to say that the Cohiba cigars readily available to all of us rival the Cubans on many levels. Yes, they are pricey. But considering the time, effort, amazing quality, craftsmanship and selection of tobaccos that go into each style, is well worth the price of admission. The Black edition was introduced in 2006. It’s proprietary blend of tobaccos were aged three years before release. The result is a long burning, super smooth medium to full bodied taste that is so satisfying you’ll forget about the price and hesitate to share them! I can’t think of better gift as well.

Cusano CC
$51.12 – $63.99When you have a chance, click on the “Ask Richie” icon on the upper part of the screen and read my “Bundles of Joy” submission. You’ll then understand how important the valued priced bundle category has been to both cigar makers and lovers. This edition is one of the best Cuban styled full flavor smokes available for the price. It’s well made with a great draw yielding a robustly satisfying smoking experience across the board.

Ashton Estate Sungrown
$88.00 – $402.50There’s a few reasons why 90 rated Ashtons have remained in the top ten for decades. They are made by the folks at Arturo Fuente. They are insanely consistent and remain one of the benchmarks for mild to mellow taste. If you’ve smoked them you know. If you haven’t, I envy you! I personally think the 94 rated ESG Edition the the VSG's counterpart. They're both full bodied and smooth unlike the Classic Series. This Dominican purebred stick starts off with a bit of sweetness and gains intensity as you move along.

Romeo y Julieta 1875 White
$29.00 – $219.54We all know this iconic brand. There are literally dozens of Romeo y Juliet brand styles available for all of us to enjoy today. When this original 1875 line was launched in 2003 it rapidly became one of the country's top sellers. Over the years Altadis continued adding many more sizes and shapes while achieving consistently high ratings along the way. This cigar's blend truly achieved a sweet spot and unanimous acceptance among the majority of smokers. I'd classify it as mellow to medium bodied in taste with a great smooth draw. If you're someone that hasn't tried these great sticks, what are you waiting for? The 92 rated cedar wrapped Cedro Deluxe #2 has always been one of my favorites. Grab a five pack and enter the club!

$28.00 – $286.45This third maduro variation of the Lunatic line is a slow burning bulldog of a stick! After the immediate onslaught of spice it settles down into a smooth, medium to full flavored stick that's packed with complex and robust taste. I highly recommend a five pack of El Chiquitos. Buckle up! Origin - Nicaragua Filler - Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - San Andres
