Aging Room Solera Shade
$119.02 – $136.30Founded by Rafael Nodal and launched in 2011, Aging Room cigars are made by Jochy Blanco of Tabacalera La Palma in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. Some Aging Room brands are also produced in Nicaragua by Nestor Plasencia Jr. and A.J. Fernandez. All three cigar makers are considered Master Blenders to say the least. The brand’s portfolio includes several high-scoring cigars across many lines.
The Solera line utilizes the Solera drying process which is used in Spanish Wine making. This technique employs staggering the aging of leaves and slowly combining new leaves as the process continues. This time consuming method adds a totally enhanced taste to the tobaccos. This solid medium bodied smoke has ample draw and offers a smooth and creamy taste.

Alec Bradley Tempus Natural
$162.00 – $251.64Alec Bradley Tempus Natural is one of this company’s highest rated cigars you probably don’t know about.
With attention to detail, Tempus uses select tobacco from a farm in the Trojes region of Honduras, just north of the border of Nicaragua, and some of the finest tobacco from Jalapa, Nicaragua. This blend is probable one of the strongest cigars in their portfolio. With that being said, there’s no questioning Cigar Aficionado’s very impressive 94 rating. In fact, this cigar beat out many of it’s Cuban counterparts. Their description is spot on. “The overall effect is quite delicious as each puff leaves the smoker satisfied the way a sip of hearty stout would satisfy a beer connoisseur.” Becoming the #5 cigar of the year reenforces these words without a doubt.
To put it another way, if you consider yourself a discerning and seasoned smoker, Tempus should be in your humidor today!

Alec Bradley Magic Toast
$199.80 – $232.20Alec Bradley Magic Toast is a very special cigar from this iconic company.
With attention to detail, Magic Toast employs an oily Honduran wrapper covering a double binder of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos; the fillers are also Honduran and Nicaraguan. This extremely well made medium to full bodied cigar delivers thick, rich aromatic smoke with every puff via a superb draw. What’s more important is this cigar definitely delivers an array of flavors. Think coffee, black cherry, dried fruit, malt, cedar, real earthiness, and a deep richness that is very satisfying.
While Blind Man’s Puff rates Magic Toast a respectable 90, Cigar Coop ups the score to 92. But without a doubt, it’s KATMAN that really raves about it with an astounding 95. If you haven’t tried one of these truly unique smokes, here’s your chance!

Alec Bradley American Sun Grown
$115.00 – $159.00The Alec Bradley American Sun Grown is an amazing pick by any standards.
When Alec Bradley introduced its American Blend back in 2012 it garnered high ratings and great reviews not only because it was a great overall cigar but also because it was priced right. This well made mellow to medium flavored stick was throwback to old school Florida craftsmanship. When this Sun Grown line came out in 2018 the Churchill garnered a 91 rating from Cigar Aficionado. Remember, this is a very affordable cigar! This medium-full bodied beautifully dark stick amps up the taste just a bit over the original Classic blend. However, this slow burning beauty seems as though it has double the amount of tobacco inside. Enjoy this great cigar made by Plasencia Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Alec Bradley American Classic
$115.00 – $159.00Alec Bradley American Classic is one of this great company’s best selling cigars for over 10 years.
The American Classic still garners high ratings and great reviews not only because it’s still a great overall cigar but also because it has a more than a fair price even today. With attention to detail, this well made mellow to medium bodied cigar is a throwback to old school Florida craftsmanship. With this in mind, Alan Rubin went to the factory himself in 2011 to blend a cigar to be smoked any time of day, every day. And he did a great job!
Among many accolades, Cigar Aficionado calls this cigar a Best Buy. And we agree. A rating score of 90 sums it up. Their review says it best. “As the light wrapper suggests, this cigar is sweet and floral with a woody core, hints of cereal and a bit of dried fruit on the finish. Easygoing and mellow.”
Any size you choose is a top pick and worth twice the price.
