Oliva Serie V
Rated 5.00 out of 5$37.00 – $304.00This 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. When the "V" came to market in 2017 not only did it get a 95 rating, it was awarded as being the #3 Cigar of the year. Since then it has consistently rated over 90 year after year. This dark, oily wrapped beauty is a very robust, extra full flavored stick that remains totally smooth throughout yielding plumes a thick wonderful aromatic smoke. It's like a Porterhouse Steak of cigars! Origin - Nicaragua Filler - Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Ecuador Habano -
Kristoff Sumatra
Rated 3.00 out of 5$31.58 – $182.70This four country blend edition produces a complex medium to full bodied flavor that some say is acquired taste. I'm sure if you've had them and enjoy them, another start or two is warranted. This stick is another effort by Kristoff to broaden the brand's appeal to more smokers.

Joya De Nicaragua Antano 1970
Rated 5.00 out of 5$26.00 – $185.6950 years ago this old soldier was considered one of the world’s best cigar with a reputation as a true cuban style “He Man” stick. If you’re a fan of mild smokes stand clear of this 90+ rated long time full bodied old school favorite. While this brand style remains one of my favorites with whiskey, if you search the name you’ll see a bunch of new styles to the line added by Drew Estate who now owns this great brand.

Casa Fernandez Miami Original
Rated 0 out of 5$36.00 – $162.72It's hard to believe it's been almost 10 years since this highly rated edition came to market. This amazing stick combines sweetness and mild spice producing a medium to slightly full bodied taste that thoroughly enjoyable. I heartily recommend a five pack of 93 rated Lanceros at the very least! Origin - United States Filler - Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Nicaraguan -
Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro
Rated 5.00 out of 5$44.00 – $221.22No one disputes that Rocky Patel is one of the few Titans of the Premium Cigar Industry. Over 20 years ago as he began his quest to get a foothold in the marketplace he actually got in his car and traveled the country visiting high volume Tobacconists unannounced! When he wound up in my store to sell his first entry, I hesitantly took a chance on him. Actually, he was such a nice and appreciative person I couldn’t resist! The rest is cigar history! This cigar is a masterpiece. Not only did it rank #2 of the top 25 cigars in 2016, it garnered a 95 rating beating out many of its Cuban competitors! Make no mistake, this dark cigar is a very complex extra full bodied smoke. While the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper gives this box pressed stick a bit of sweetness along the way, the bold, robust taste is smooth to the finish.

Rocky Patel 20th Anniversary
Rated 5.00 out of 5$47.00 – $259.20No one disputes that Rocky Patel is one of the few Titans of the Premium Cigar Industry. Over 20 years ago as he began his quest to get a foothold in the marketplace he actually got in his car and traveled the country visiting high volume Tobacconists unannounced! When he wound up in my store to sell his first entry , I hesitantly took a chance on him. Actually, he was such a nice and appreciative person I couldn’t resist! The rest is cigar history! One of the keys to Rocky’s success over the years is the number of choices he continues to create for all of us to enjoy. 2015 marked Rocky's 20th year in business. This edition was enjoyed by a whole new crop of smokers. Unlike his many medium-full bodied gems, the 20th proved to be a solid medium bodied stick that is rich, slow burning and super smooth.

Alec Bradley Post Embargo
Rated 5.00 out of 5$41.00 – $193.50The artwork on the brand's box is beautiful. When this line was launched in 2017, the Lancero pulled a 92 rating letting us know there was more than a pretty face here! This great stick uses a very crafty combination of leaves yielding a Cuban style medium-full bodied smoke that's unique. It has almost an earthy quality to it that seems somewhat fruity! It's great draw and aromatic smoke even gains a kind of sweetness as you move along. The oily wrapper is a joy to behold! I highly recommend a five pack of Lanceros. This pigtailed, Old School style is rarely made today and remains one of my absolute favorites. Origin - Honduras Filler - Honduran-Nicaraguan Binder - Honduran-Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Honduran
