This box pressed Padron Maduro is a beautifully balanced and full-bodied smoke of exceptional quality and value.

Romeo y Julieta 1875 White
$71.96 – $200.59Romeo y Julieta 1875 White is one of this renowned company’s best selling cigars…..HANDS DOWN!

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real
$88.21 – $237.33Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real is another highly rated offering of this iconic brand.
When the original 1875 White line was launched it rapidly became one of the country’s top sellers. Shortly after, 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.
As luck would have it, Cigar Aficionado recently rated the Lonsdale size a respectable 91. Their description says it best. Initial notes of dried citrus and vanilla combine on the palate for an orange creamsicle effect. There’s a slightly cedary element as well, making for a bright, sweet cigar that draws and burns evenly.” Not convinced yet? The Porto Real came in at 92!

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua
$204.69 – $238.75Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua is another collaboration between Master Blender AJ Fernandez and this legendary cigar maker.
For starters, Reserva Real Nicaragua is a follow-up to the company’s extremely popular Reserva Real line. With attention to detail, it contains 100% Nicaragua tobacco leaves that grow exclusively on the Fernandez farms. It’s no surprise this edition gets high fives and tons of accolades.
Noted reviewer Katman rates it a 91. He aptly describes this cigar as a medium to full bodied flavor bomb. Think bread, butter, creaminess, espresso, cedar, berries, citrus, baker’s chocolate, malt, licorice, nuts galore and Gruyère cheese. How’s that for complexity! With this in mind, Cigar Aficionado gives it an astounding 93 and naming it a top 25 cigar of the year.
Without a doubt, if you’re a fan of AJ Fernandez and Romeo y Julieta, this one is a must try and should be in your humidor today!

Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua
$69.30 – $180.45Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua is a great example of why this legendary brand retains its top spot in the industry.
With attention to detail, this great cigar is the creation of the Plasencia factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Arriving in 2018, it surprised a lot of smokers. For starters, unlike many Nicaraguan puros, this one is actually mild to medium bodied. The big difference is it has all the flavor and taste you’d expect from a Romeo without being overpowering.
FYI, the folks at Blind Man’s Puff rated it a 91. One reviewer describes it perfectly. ” For a mild cigar this one checked off many of the points I like from a fuller bodied and fuller flavored cigar. I feel this is a cigar for almost anyone to enjoy, and look forward to smoking one again soon!” To put it another way, if you prefer a tamer smoke but don’t want to miss out on the best of what Nicaraguan tobacco has to offer, this one is a must try!

Saint Luis Rey Natural Broadleaf
$23.00 – $180.72This brand started in Cuba in 1940 and is still being made there. When Cigar Giant Altadis acquired the name for the US, production went from the Dominican Republic to Honduras where it remains. As time passed the brand began to evolve attracting new smokers. This edition was launched in 2017 and is a special one. Those of us that know this brand understand what full bodied smokes are.
The great part of this one is that it is literally packed with tobacco to the point of it feeling hard to the touch. This is one of the slowest burning, best drawing sticks around. The blend yields a very robust tasting mixture of sweetness and spice that increases as you move along.

Caldwell Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut
$156.60 – $192.60This style’s Connecticut version consists of the same blend as the Original Blind Man’s Bluff entry with one important exception. The golden Ecuadorian grown Connecticut wrapper changes this cigar into a smooth, mild to medium bodied gem with the original’s signature character intact. Overall, the Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut is a well-balanced cigar that offers notes of spice, cedar wood, and dried fruit and with subtle hints of vanilla bean and a dash of pepper. One of the highly critical folks at Blind Man’s Puff summed it up perfectly, “Something sweet, something spicy, mama this was a tasty cigar.” Without a doubt, their 91 rating was well deserved.
