La Gloria Cubana Maduro
Rated 5.00 out of 5$26.00 – $297.50This 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. Origin - Dominican Republic Filler - Brazilian-Dominican-Mexican-Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Ecuador Sumatra -
Dunbarton Umbagog Bundle
Rated 0 out of 5$34.99 – $88.83If you’ve read my “Bundles of Joy” article posted in the ASK RICHIE section of this website, you know how most cigar makers increased the amount of bundled value brands they offer to budget conscious smokers. Umbagog, named for Dunbarton’s owner’s favorite New Hampshire lake, doesn’t quite fall into this category. While the cigars are wrapped in paper and priced considerably lower than their other entries, they’re definitely not bargain smokes. What they are is another great medium to full bodied edition that is well made like the others offering a more straightforward taste. Natural tobacco, black licorice and some peppery spices appears early on and remain throughout. Origin - Nicaragua Filler - Nicaragua Binder - Nicaragua Wrapper Type - USA Connecticut Broadleaf -

Ashton Virgin Sun Grown
Rated 5.00 out of 5$49.00 – $391.09There’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.

Joya De Nicaragua Cabinetta Series
Rated 5.00 out of 5$29.00 – $146.7850 years ago this brands Original entry (featured on our site) was considered one of the world’s best cigars with a reputation as a true cuban style “He Man” stick. If you’re a fan of mild smokes you would have stood clear of this 90+ rated long time full bodied old school favorite. It still remains one of my favorites with whiskey. Drew Estate acquired Joya in 2008 and it wasn’t long before they began reinventing this iconic brand. When this very unique 90 rated cigar launched in 2119 most of us did a double take! As the picture shows, this stick has two wrappers. The darker Nicaraguan Criollo leaf towards the cap is combined with a lighter Connecticut seed Ecuadorian Shade one for the main body of the cigar. The result is a smooth, medium bodied smoke that will gain intensity should you decide to keep going past the band! This is yet another Joya offering for many smokers to enjoy the rich heritage of this great brand. Origin - Nicaragua Filler - Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Connecticut Criollo -

CAO Classic: Gold
Rated 4.00 out of 5$26.00 – $164.00Here we are looking at the first entry that started the CAO cigar line over 20 years ago long before General Cigar purchased the brand from the family that started the company. This mild to medium bodied stick has actually gotten better over the recent years. If you’ve tossed them aside years ago, you may want to revisit the recently reviewed 91 rated torpedo for starters. This expertly made, perfectly drawing stick has evolved into a consistently smooth, complex tasting winner that still offers a rich smoking experience after so many years.
