The “Back2Back” brand was launched by Davidoff in 2018 as a fairly priced “Meat and Potatoes” smoke. My only issue with the company was only offering them in huge boxes of 50 sticks. This dark and oily Nicaraguan puro is a smooth, flavorful medium bodied cigar. This well made stick is balanced and consistent with pleasant notes of coffee and spices. While the overall taste increases slightly in intensity as you move along, it remains balanced and enjoyable to the finish.

The “Back2Back” brand was launched by Davidoff in 2018 as a fairly priced “Meat and Potatoes” smoke. My only issue with the company was only offering them in huge boxes of 50 sticks. In short, they’re well made mild to slightly medium-bodied cigars with a pleasant complexity. Even the enormous Gordo remains consistent with its smaller siblings yielding a slight sweetness and balanced, mellow smoothness. If you enjoy tamer tasting cigars, this is a good one to try. The Nicaraguan contents contribute a brighter character without being overpowering. Pick a size and try a five-pack.

Rated 92 and named a top 25 cigar for 2018, this amazing medium-bodied Nicaraguan purebred is produced by the Plasencia family of Master Blenders. Soon after lighting up flavors of pure tobacco and cocoa come forth for an exceptionally balanced, smooth and totally enjoyable smoking experience. Just so you know, you’ll have to clip both ends of this old school, perfectly made Perfecto to get it going.

This is my favorite offering from Southern Draw. It’s also one of their best sellers for all the right reasons. Habano-Rosado wrappers are rarely used let alone being double fermented as these are. I feel this contributes greatly to how the sweet and spicy notes from the Cuban seeded fillers and binder remain so crisp and balanced. This solidly medium bodied stick is a joy to behold for seasoned smokers as well as newcomers.

This edition is a prime example of why this brand is so well loved. Not only are all the fillers, binder and wrapper aged four years before production, after the cigars are made they are allowed to sit for another year. Add in rarely used Panamanian leaves to the fillers and you have a truly unique stick. Falling within the medium to full bodied range this cigar is a balanced combination of natural tobacco flavors with a sweet and spicy edge that burns slowly and cool. Bravo!

Curuvari is one of the brands you’ve probably never heard of. The complexity of this beautifully made, semi pressed edition’s blend produces a delicious medium to slightly full-flavored body. This slow-burning, rich cigar has a wonderful chocolate-like undertone with just the right bit of peppery spice and natural tobacco flavors. You can’t spend your money on a better cigar for the price. One of my favorites!

Leaf by Oscar Big Johnny is the biggest cigar Oscar makes to say the very least!
With attention to detail, the sweet Nicaraguan wrapper encases a binder and filler made of premium tobaccos from Honduras for a well-balanced smoking experience. 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.

When you have a chance, click the “Ask Richie” icon on the upper left hand side of the screen and check out the “Bundles of Joy” article. It was just a matter of time before Ernesto Carrillo joined the club of offering hand made premium cigars for around $3 that we could readily enjoy every day without guilt. This edition is just that. The difference between this value brand and many others is the Master Blender behind it. This five country blend produces a complexly balanced medium bodied stick yielding a great aroma, easy draw and wonderful taste. Thank you Ernesto for thinking about us mere mortals! Pick you favorite size and you’ll see what I mean. PS, let them age and they get even better!!

Those folks that found the Original 13 edition a bit too strong were delighted when this Connecticut style was introduced. This stick burns long and cool yielding a mild to mellow flavor throughout with enough complexity to set it apart from other mild manner entries. I still can’t believe the massive 7×70 Gordo is the top seller!

Aptly named for a preference for darkness or the night, this edition pushed the flavor meter just about as far as you could go. With a Nicaraguan blend of fillers and binder within a near black San Andreas Mexican wrapper, this stick combines sweetness and spice in a flat out full bodied, strong cigar. Buckle up!

This edition is a very slow burning stick that’s jammed packed with tobacco. Even though it has a combination of sweet and spicy tastes, this is a very strong cigar that gains intensity on all fronts as you move along. Buckle Up!
