Fratello Classico
$158.40 – $297.00Fratello Classico is one of this unique company’s most popular cigars.
With attention to detail, the Classico sports a silky Nicaraguan Wrapper with an Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan/Peruvian filler tobaccos. This cigar creates a great balance with an extremely creamy texture.
When this cigar came to market in 2013, Cigar Coop rated it a very respectable 92! Their description still holds true today. “I found this to be an excellent cigar for a novice enthusiast to graduate to something on the medium plus end. Experienced cigar enthusiasts will definitely appreciate everything this cigar has to offer.” With this in mind, Cigar Aficionado also thought highly of this blend rating it at 91. Their words are spot on. “This cigar offers notes of wood and toasted marshmallow, balanced by tea-like intonations and a savory leather finish.”
No doubt this Nicaraguan beauty should be in your humidor today!

Rocky Patel Vintage 12 Yrs 1990
$114.75 – $239.40No one disputes that Rocky Patel is one of the few Titans of the Premium Cigar Industry. Over 20 years ago as he began his quest to get a foothold in the marketplace he actually got in his car and traveled the country visiting high volume Tobacconists unannounced! When he wound up in my store to sell his first entry , I hesitantly took a chance on him. Actually, he was such a nice and appreciative person I couldn’t resist! The rest is cigar history!
If you’ve read my posts you know I’m bullish on aging your cigars to enhance their taste. This 93 rated beauty is a rich, medium bodied cigar that remains consistent down to the end.

Rocky Patel Java Maduro
$121.73 – $288.00Rocky Patel Java Maduro is one of the four sharply box pressed editions of this hugely popular line of premium cigars.

Rocky Patel A-10 Special Edition
$149.40 – $214.20It hard to believe The Edge is over 15 years old. This massively popular edition has been pleasing so many smokers so consistently for so long. If you haven’t tried one, please check them out on our site. When the brand celebrated its 10th birthday, Rocky decided to do something entirely different to celebrate. Most twin wrapper sticks don’t stand up to their appearance when it comes to content and character. The medium bodied A-10 achieves both. It took a lot of thought blending this stick. The crispy, light tasting taste changes to a spicy, cedary flavor about mid way. As you move along, all of this intensifies. Very unique smoking experience. Enjoy!

When Series O appeared in 2008 it was highly rated and remains so all these years later. This top-selling medium-bodied “go to” stick is well made with a smooth draw. It’s really well balanced with a nice bit of sweetness and spice while not being overpowering.

$89.30This 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!

Their reason for such accolades was well said. ” This cigar draws and burns beautifully delivering leathery, nutty flavors, and a richness that isn’t ordinarily associated with the Macanudo line.”
