Aganorsa Leaf Casa Fernandez Sabor Corojo
$157.50 – $180.00This edition is yet another accomplishment of Casa Fernandez’s unique ability to continue crafting intricate blends appealing to every smokers desires and specific taste preferences.
This beautifully made medium to slightly full bodied cigar delivers lots of aromatic smoke and a mouthful of intense spice, espresso, and even more peppery flavors. Oddly enough, there’s a pleasant sweetness towards the finish. Like spice? This is the one!

Casa Fernandez Miami Reserva Maduro
$46.00 – $208.44When you consider the vast array of entries this iconic company offers, it can become pleasantly difficult deciphering what sets each one apart from another. The Miami Reserva editions stand out in that what’s known as Medio Tiempo leaves are added to the fillers. These smallest leaves located at the very top of the plant contain the highest concentration of oil. Hence, they noticeably enhance the entire flavor spectrum of the cigar’s character. I’ve often said that taste is a personal preference. What I can say is that the dark San Andreas Mexican maduro wrapper added to this cigars blend produces a solidly full bodied stick with very defined undertones of sweetness, spice and fruit that noticeably increase in intensity and strength as you move along.

Aganorsa Leaf Corojo
$40.00 – $124.88It’s been said that this original edition of the series is an “acquired taste”. Yes, it was rated 93 and generally described as a very good medium bodied stick. And yes, it utilized a vintage blend of Nicaraguan long fillers and binder combined with a Corojo wrapper from 2006. While some folks felt it wasn’t strong enough, others said it was just right. As I’ve always said, taste is a personal preference.

Rocky Patel Vintage 2006 San Andreas (11y)
$195.30 – $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. What sets this Vintage edition apart from the others is the 11 year old San Andreas Mexican wrapper along with Nicaraguan fillers and Connecticut Broadleaf binder. This highly rated, expertly made combination produces a solid medium to full bodied taste that contains coffee and chocolate flavors.

Rocky’s introduction of this magnificent cigar celebrating his 10th anniversary in business rocked the industry by achieving a 95 rating! This oily wrapped medium to full bodied stick is as great today as it was back then and is still a bestseller. This is a rich, balanced smoke that draws perfectly and burns evenly. For me, I get a bit of cherry, coffee and buttered toast!
I highly recommend a five pack of my favorite sized Lonsdales.

Gurkha Xtreme
$38.00 – $162.52First off, just so you know the “Xtreme” of this cigar doesn’t mean totally full flavored or harsh in any way. This 90 rated Gurkha is “Xtremely” flavorful! What I like about this perfectly made medium bodied stick is the great draw yielding a smooth array of a kind black licorice and cocoa taste. Tough to explain its uniqueness. If you’re a Gurkha fan and haven’t tried it, you really should.
PS. The very cool space age box is a keeper!

Macanudo Inspirado Orange
$50.99 – $133.69Macanudo Inspirado Orange is the first of the company’s hugely successful boutique entries.
With that being said, the Inspirado Orange line started out as a European exclusive, but eventually made its way to the United States in 2018. Since then, Inspirado Orange has earned countless awards and solidified its spot as a humidor must-have worldwide.
Unlike the traditional Cafe series, this style was more medium bodied with a smooth character and more moderate price. The success of the “Orange” entry led to the additions of Black, Red, White and Green Inspirado brands.
Receiving a 92 rating from Cigar Aficionado caught the eyes of many non Macanudo smokers to say the very least. Their description is spot on. ” Inspirado Orange is simply a great cigar that produces a rich, buttery smoke enriched by leather and mesquite qualities and a bright finish of almonds and black pepper.” Getting a 93 from Blind Man’s Puff backs up the accolades as well. “This was an enjoyable cigar from start to finish.”
If you’ve never tried one of these highly rated cigars, now’s you chance. Any one you choose is a top pick!

Macanudo 1968
$170.82 – $206.82Macanudo 1968 is one this iconic company’s very special entries. With this in mind, this great cigar was made to celebrate the company’s 40th anniversary in 2008.
Since then, it’s been a steady seller to devoted fans, aficionados and newcomers alike. As it ramps up the normally mild taste that most Macanudos are known for, it also possesses a welcome complexity adding to its medium strength. These masterfully crafted cigars are smooth to their finish and wonderful to smoke.
With attention to detail, the 1968 edition provides a full, flavorful and intricate smoke for fans of complex cigars. But don’t let this new approach fool you. 1968 still delivers intricately balanced flavor and inherent sweetness. The result is a cigar receiving unanimous critical acclaim. 90+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado, Blind Man’s Puff and Cigar Inside dictate this Macanudo is a must try.

CAO New Age: MX2
$118.44 – $197.82MX2 is still one of the top maduro cigars being rolled today and available on a limited basis throughout the year.
In fact, this edition was produced almost 20 years ago to achieve one purpose; to test the capability of your taste buds! This dark, oily vitola achieves its goal via a five country blend of fillers and binder with a serious twist. Underneath the ominous looking USA grown Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper lies an even darker Brazilian Maduro binder leaf.
You can expect an open draw yielding aromatic smoke and a tight ash for starters. From start to finish, this medium to full bodied cigar is slow burning producing undertones of sweetness, spice and espresso.

CAO New Age: Flathead Steel Horse
$158.22 – $197.82CAO New Age: Flathead Steel Horse is a follow up to the very popular original Flathead series.
This complexly blended cigar is wrapped in a proprietary Connecticut Habano Grueso [meaning thick] leaf featuring tobacco from four countries containing Brazilian Arapiraca as the binder along with Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos comprising the filler. In short, this is an entirely different cigar from the original Flathead. As a bonus, each cigar is in it’s own individually box.
The result is a medium to full bodied box pressed cigar with uniquely smooth flavor notes. Think roasted coffee beans, sweet raisins and bits of peppery spices for starters. Hey, don’t take our word for it. With Cigar Coop scoring it a 90 and Blind Man’s Puff at 93, we think you’ll agree that Steel Horse is another winner for CAO.

Montecristo Platinum

For the record, the Platinum series is still pleasing discerning smokers since 2002. With attention to detail, this great cigar consists of quite the intriguing and complex blend of cigar tobaccos from four countries. When Cigar Aficionado gave the Churchill a 94 rating, it beat out most of it’s Cuban competitors. Their short and sweet description still applies today. “A hearty, meaty smoke with flavors of salty, roasted nuts and wood on the palate.”
Without doubt, this Montecristo is a long standing winner. To put it another way, aficionados will continue enjoying Platinum for years to come.
Like its counterparts, Platinum is perfectly made with a great draw. The bonus is this medium-full bodied beauty increases in intensity as you move it along to the glorious finish.

Montecristo Pilotico
$74.00 – $352.00Montecristo Pilotico is a very special edition from this long storied brand.
This 2017 creation has an interesting heritage. It turns out that around 50 years ago, Jose Pepe Mendez came upon a region in the Dominican Republic that proved to be perfect for growing tobacco leaves. It was here where he planted what is known as his Pilotico seeds. As time passed he also gained a reputation for establishing many growing techniques and grading guidelines that still exist today in the industry. The master blenders of Montecristo decided to pay homage to Mendez and his seeds by creating this three country blend that yields a sweet kind of medium bodied taste.
To put in another way, Blind Man’s Puff rated this one at 90. Cigar Coop gave it a 91. Without doubt, Pilotico is a must try for aficionados everywhere!

You know the name. What sets this 91 rated Epic series apart is two things. The rollers are the Maestros of the factory and the Dominican and Nicaraguan filler leaves used go back as far as 13 years.
Delivering rich nuances of caramel, chocolate, leather, espresso and cedar throughout its slow burn, without doubt this Montecristo is another winner! In other words, this is a solid medium to full bodied complex smoke that’s perfectly made, draws consistently, and is worth the price.

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.

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.”

Ferio Tego Metropolitan Selection Host
$27.00 – $161.10When this Habano edition was launched in 2017, it got serious notice as the Gordo size garnered a 91 rating.

With attention to detail, this collaboration between these talented young men and the Raíces Cubanas factory in Danlí, Honduras produces an outstanding cigar. Kintsugi follows Blind Faith from 2018 and Gatekeeper from 2019. All things considered, at this point, it’s safe to say these guys are well on their way to becoming Master Blenders.
Out of all the accolades, Blind Man’s Puff describes it best. “After initial inspection I wasn’t sure what to expect, however, this cigar smoked fantastically and produced delicious flavors. From pre-light draw to last puff, the cigar performed above expectations and had great smoke output. Not exactly my cup of tea as it was a little sweeter than I prefer, but I would gladly smoke another. Fantastic smoke if you have under an hour. Nub was the best part. Puff slowly and enjoy the end my friends.” These words coupled with a score of 91 make Kintsugi another winner for sure!
