AJ Fernandez La Gran Llave Maduro
$32.00 – $200.00Most of us know that virtually all of AJ’s brands have been 90+ rated cigars. It’s really just a matter of personal taste which one ends up being your favorite.
When the La Gran Llave Maduro hit the streets in the summer of 2018 it clipped a 90 rating right off the bat. I think what sets this particular brand apart are two important things. First off the San Andreas Mexican Maduro wrapper is nearly perfect in appearance and adds a tasty, crispy twist to this medium-full bodied stick. Secondly and more importantly, this cigar is absolutely jammed packed with tobacco. It almost feels hards to the touch which is a good thing! It’s a long smoking experience that seems to burn forever so don’t go walking your dog and expect to finish it unless you want to be out for more than an hour!

Oliva Flor De Oliva Original
$48.00 – $67.20This 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.
If you’re a fan of Oliva cigars, you’ll agree that this company delivers what you pay for. While their super premiums are priced fairly considering the great sticks they are…….they ain’t cheap! When the Flor De Oliva bundles of value-priced premiums were launched, the company made it very clear that everyone can now enjoy their brand every day for around $3 each! Even those folks that smoked long cigars with big ring sizes.
The Original edition is a medium-bodied stick that burns slowly and increases in intensity as you move along. I’ve often smoked the Churchills halfway down and thrown the rest away without any guilt!

Quorum Maduro
$42.84 – $64.44You know you’ve seen Quorums everywhere. What you may not know is that the Quorum Brand is the world’s best selling cigar! Brought to us by JC Newman, makers of Julius Caesar and Diamond Crown, the fact that all three styles have received a 92 rating while maintaining a value price point is more than enough to get your worthwhile attention.
The Maduro style’s oily dark Sumatran Sungrown wrapper combined with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper yield a medium to slightly full flavored treat.

Montesino Natural
$25.37 – $176.50It’s hard to believe this Arturo Fuente made premium brand is approaching a 30th birthday. I was young and beautiful when I smoked my first one! While the blend of leaves is different from the company’s signature line, these well made, fairly priced, medium bodied, smooth tasting sticks have remained very popular over the years. I’ve often looked at them as kind of “comfort cigars”.
