Ashton Virgin Sun Grown
$49.00 – $391.09There’s a few reasons why 90 rated Ashtons have remained in the top ten for decades. They are made by the folks at Arturo Fuente. They are insanely consistent and remain one of the benchmarks for mild to mellow taste. If you’ve smoked them you know. If you haven’t, I envy you! The VSG is the Bentley of the Ashton Brand. This sometimes hard to locate 94 rated stick takes you to a whole different level of taste. This is without question an amazing full flavored cigar that rivals many Cubans with a big difference.... It's super smooth while being very complex. If you consider yourself a connoisseur and haven't tried one, you're not a connoisseur!

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! Origin - Nicaragua Filler - Nicaraguan Binder - Habano Wrapper Type - Maduro -

Rocky Patel Sun Grown
$31.00 – $212.40No 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! The sun grown edition is a chameleon like flavor changer. The 5 year old Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper gives it a spicy/sweet kind of taste that starts off medium bodied and smoothly escalated to a fuller level. The key word here is smooth. The 90+ rating it has while offering a lower price point is a bonus. I recommend a five pack of petit coronas to wet your whistle with. for starters. And if you do, leave one in your humidor for a year for a real treat! Origin - Honduras Filler - Dominican-Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Ecuador Sumatra -
