I’ve often said that you can’t get a better blended cigar of this kind at a better price. The Dominican longleaf fillers and binder encased in a blond Connecticut shade wrapper yields a smooth, mellow to slightly medium bodied, creamy flavor that has been a consistent signature of this stick since 1996. Try a five pack of Churchills and you’ll see what I mean.

Adding a near black Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper to the Natural style edition’s fillers and binder raises the needle on the taste meter into medium to full bodied territory. So if this stick’s light coated sister doesn’t give you enough strength, here’s your choice.

Here’s all you need to know about JFR Lunatic Habano cigars. Aganorsa farms in Central America has been growing Cuban Seed tobacco for over 30 years utilizing Cuban Growing techniques even including Cuban farmers overseeing the harvest to insure quality. They’re a supplier to major brands like Padron among many others. When they decided to produce their own brand everyone in the industry got interested. The JFR Lunatic Habano was named the #7 cigar for 2018, with a 93-point rating. This medium bodied smoke is packed with flavor from its 52 ring size Robusto all the way up to an 70 ring sized Gordo.
Like it’s (Blue) Connecticut edition sister, this dark version is not to be feared! While the Broadleaf wrapper used on this well made stick ups the needle on the flavor meter into the medium bodied range, it still remains smooth with a tiny bit of very mild spice. If you have the the whole day to kill smoking one cigar, get a five pack of [8×70] Tycoons!

Leaf by Oscar Big Johnny is the biggest cigar Oscar makes to say the very least!

It’s important to note the binder and filler leaves are the same contained in the highly rated Leaf by Oscar Maduro blend. At 8 inches in length with a stout 66 ring size , the Big Johnny is a medium-strength giant you will want to take your time with.
Leaf by Oscar Big Johnny is available in 16 count boxes and 5 packs just in case you’d like to give them a try……….when we have them! But beware, these bad boys are hard to find at times. Stay in touch with us at The Cigar Thief and we’ll let you know when we have them.
