Cohiba Black
$120.11 – $584.78OK. 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.

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real
$88.21 – $237.33We all know this iconic brand. There are literally dozens of Romeo y Juliet brand styles available for all of us to enjoy today.
When the original 1875 line was launched in 2003 it rapidly became one of the country’s top sellers. Shortly after the launch of the Original 1875 (also listed on our site) the Reserva Real series hit the ground running. While this blend upped the flavor to the medium bodied level it remained smooth and balanced with just a hint of spice to liven up your palate. The 92 rated Porto Real is one of my favorites.
