  • Romeo y Julieta Reserve

    $67.52$180.00

    Romeo y Julieta Reserve is yet another highly rated edition from this iconic company.

    The Reserve is a successful offering appealing to a more diverse group of smokers. The addition Honduran leaves to selected Nicaraguan fillers and binder changes the body of the cigar for sure. Encasing it with a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper completes the formula. The result is a medium-full bodied taste with a flavor that’s not overpowering to your palate.

    Cigar Aficionado rates this complex smoke a very respectable score of 90 points. Their description is spot on. “Initial puffs of leather and cinnamon segue into a nutty smoke of almonds and marzipan before the warm, toasty finish. Burn and draw are perfect throughout.” With this in mind, if other Romeos are too mild for you, the Reserve is what you’re looking for!

    Origin – Honduras
    Filler – Honduran-Nicaraguan

    Dunbarton Todos Los Dias

    $98.55$113.48

    This edition was personally created by Dunbarton’s owner Steve Saka and is a testament to his refined skills as a Master Blender. While a few may categorize this stick in the medium to full bodied taste range, I think it’s safe to state those folks are real tough guys. This is an unadulterated full flavored, Cuban style powerhouse. There’s no doubt this is Dunbarton’s strongest blend yielding a rich, robust spicy and peppery taste. The four vintage leaves contained in this cigar that are assembled at the Joya De Nicaragua factory produce a spectacular smoke for even the most seasoned smokers.

Quite frankly, here, you have a cigar in which Davidoff Master blenders have embraced and accomplished an exciting challenge by blending a cigar of complex character with a rich mixture of fine qualities by drawing on and harmonizing the tobaccos of Nicaragua, Mexico, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.

  • Oliva Flor De Oliva Original

    $71.44$79.38

    This 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!

    It’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”.

  • Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real

    $88.21$237.33

    Romeo 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!

  • Davidoff Royal Release

    $475.00$1,050.00

    According to Davidoff, there are only eight rollers who work on the Royal Release cigars, each of which has at least 15 years experience. The tobaccos come from a 2004-05 harvest that had a year of near perfect growing conditions and ideal rainfall.

    When the highly critical folks at Half Wheel gave it a 91 rating, they described this Super Premium Luxury smoke best. “The cigar is a flavor-bomb, with a profile full of rich, decadent and complex notes. The construction was fantastic overall. Of course, the price tag will keep most people away. But if you can afford it, you won’t be disappointed in the experience.” With attention to detail, this exclusive cigar is made for affluent connoisseurs. If you fit the bill, this very unique cigar is for you!

  • Arturo Fuente Don Carlos

    $231.60$370.00

It’s probably one of this company’s finest blending achievements that has remained amazingly consistent over the decades. For me it yields a true Cuban style rich taste without any harshness. They’re hard to find in any style so get ’em while we have em’!

    Macanudo Inspirado White is another of the company’s hugely successful boutique entries.

    With attention to detail, Inspirado White features a six year old proprietary Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade leaf. This unique wrapper encases a vintage Indonesian binder. The fillers are four year old Mexican San Andrés and Nicaraguan Condega leaves  and two year old Jalapa Valley tobacco. To say this is a very complex blend is an understatement!

    The company describes this great cigar best. “We spent several years developing this blend, using tobaccos we refined and aged to perfection. Think of the most creamy, alluring cigar you’ve ever had, amplify the complexity and you have Inspirado White.” What more do you need to know?

    Like all  Macanudos, this Inspirado is perfectly constructed with a consistently good draw. You can be rest assured that Macanudo is still one of the world’s reigning brands for all the right reasons.

  • Camacho Connecticut

    $31.68$180.00

    The Camacho website introduces the Connecticut by stating, “This is one Camacho smoke that doesn’t kick in the door. It knocks. And enters with a mild, smooth taste.”  With that being said, as the high ratings came in, the industry knew this cigar was a winner. Without a doubt, this well made cigar is not your father’s Connecticut. When the highly critical folks at Cigar Dojo rated it a 90, they described it best, “The Connecticut begins with notes of spice that grows the further you go along. It’s the same bold flavor I have come to expect from Camacho, sans the heaviness you get from stronger blends. The blend of Dominican and Honduran tobaccos brought out the spice but with hints of sweetness not found in other Camachos.”

    Wrapper: Ecuadorian Grown Connecticut
    Binder: Corojo (Camacho’s original Cuban seed)
    Filler: Generoso, Aleman Ligero
    Factory: Agroindustrias Laepe S.A. (Honduras)

  • Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua

    $204.69$238.75

    Romeo 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!
