Don Tomas Classico
$150.53 – $206.91OK…I know what you’re saying, Five Stars? As I’ve said before, I’m an old guy. Don Tomas has been around for over 50 years. It had a heritage of being a good cigar for a fair price. Fifteen years ago General Cigar snatched the company up to bring this “Old School” icon back to the glory it deserved. The result for this Senior Citizen of the cigar world? How about a 90 Rating and being one of the top 25 cigars of 2006!
No Bells and whistles here. Well made, priced right, great draw, even burn and a surprisingly complex medium bodied flavor. Try a five pack of Robustos and you’ll see what I mean.

CAO Classic: Gold Maduro
$158.22 – $176.22CAO Classic: Gold Maduro is the long awaited follow up to the original Gold entry.
It took about ten years for CAO to come up with this darkly wrapped counterpart to their legendary gold line. Cigar Aficionado had kind words in 2007 for this flavorful and medium bodied maduro, as well. “Near black, this cigar has a solid core of sweet tobacco, complemented by nuts, coffee and a hint of leather on the finish.” It goes to show you that after 15 years, this cigar is still a winner!
If you liked the original Gold, you’ll love this maduro!
