Ferio Tego Timeless Prestige is a very popular addition to this legendary brand.
The Prestige contains a complex, new world blend of six tobaccos from three countries. This includes a silky Honduran wrapper, prime Dominican binder, and vintage filler tobaccos from Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
No doubt the results speak for themselves. Cigar Aficionado rates it a respectable 90. They describe it perfectly. ” This cigar has a fine draw and even burn. It’s a nutty, woody smoke showing cedar and almond, but sweeter notes of molasses and vanilla bring balance without making the cigar too sweet.” The folks at Cigar Coop give the Prestige a rating of 92. Their conclusion is spot on. “This was one tasty smoke!” In other words, if you’ve never tried a Timeless, the Prestige should be your first!

Crowned Heads Juarez is a value-conscious alternative to the company’s popular Jericho Hill brand.
Juarez is a full-bodied cigar with a San Andres Mexican wrapper and tobaccos from Ecuador, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. To call this robust cigar a flavor bomb is an understatement. Noted reviewer KATMAN rates it a 91. His summary confirms this for sure. ” There is a new caramel or butterscotch flavor. It gives the creaminess a leg up. And now a strong peanut element appears. With the fruitiness and baked bread flavors, it is like smoking a PB&J.”
Cigar Authority ups the score to 94 exclaiming…”It’s incredibly rich and flavorful and a definite must have.” And then there’s Cigar Coop scoring a respectable 90. Their summary is perfectly said. “It definitely provided a smoother smoke than your typical San Andres offering, and brought a nice balance of sweetness and spice to the forefront.”
Juarez is a must try for sure!

This amazing medium to full-bodied cigar is deliciously complex. No doubt the Matacapan Mexican binder and the USA grown Pennsylvania Broadleaf ligero filler combined with Vintage Nicaraguan leaves is a key contributor. As with all Dunbarton sticks, this one is perfected made and gives off a wonderful aroma. The bonus here are the tasting notes, and there are many. Black cherry, cinnamon, red licorice, dark coffee and of course…just enough spices. Enjoy this truly great cigar!

What is it about Warped Futuro? As the story goes, Eduardo Fernandez created Fernandez Aganorsa farms in 1998 to produce the finest cigar tobacco in the world along with the most talented growers from Cuba. Warped Futuro came to market in 2016 as a collaboration of Eduardo and Warp’s young founder. This edition’s intricate blend of 1998 Criollo and 1999 Corojo long leaf fillers encased in a 1999 Corojo wrapper represents Aganorsa rarest and finest vintage tobacco. The rarely applied tri-seamed cap is another testament to the attention paid in making this spicy and creamy medium to full bodied jewel.

Since its launch in 2003, Pete Johnson’s Tatuaje cigar portfolio has grown to include more than 20 brands—both in regular and limited production and has grown from unknown status to one of the cigar industry’s highly rated and sought-after boutique cigar brands. Johnson himself has also evolved from an unknown newcomer to visionary and respected industry entrepreneur.
This Black edition was very elusive to most folks for a long while. After an exhausting series of sporadic releases, it’s nice to know you can get it on our site. This 92 rated, full bodied Nicaraguan puro wears a dark, oily, aged sun grown Criollo wrapper encasing a very interesting blend of fillers and binder. The result is smooth and strong smoking experience that actually yields a sweetness reminiscent of a nice red wine! The petite lancero is my favorite.

No 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!

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! One of the keys to Rocky’s success over the years is the number of choices he continues to create for all of us to enjoy.
This 90 rated edition is very special to me. Erik Nording has been one of world’s master pipe makers for decades. He actually visited my store in the late 90’s to meet with all my pipe smoking customers. What many people don’t know is that Erik is a huge cigar guy as well. As luck would have it, he and Rocky got together in 2011. This collaboration allowed Erik to create his own signature stick under Rocky’s banner. This medium-full bodied oily cigar is cool burning and smooth. It’s old school pig tailed cap gives you a hint about the complex, subtle tastes you’ll enjoy encompassing tiny bits of sweetness, spice, coffee and buttered toast.

When I turned 55….a very long time ago….I went out for dinner. When Rocky turned 55 a few years ago, he created this small batch edition. This stick is a continuation of his efforts in blending vintage Nicaraguan fillers encased in the same country’s wrapper. The twist here was adding a Costa Rican binder and letting the finished product age way longer than most would. The result has become a favorite for many smokers. This medium to full bodied stick tastes very different than his other creations yielding an interestingly smokey flavor combined with creamy sweetness and spice. The prefecto shaped Corona is my favorite of the bunch.

Nick Perdomo and his Dad are well renowned cigar makers. I’ve watched them grow to one of the world’s powerhouse teams producing a wide array of highly rated premiums. In fact, over 20 years ago I remember Nick personally traveling around the country and winding up in my Long Island store soliciting for business! Many years later when I went to the last big Cigar Show trying to see him was like trying to see a rock start! His success is well earned.
When the 20th Anniversary line was launched all editions were highly rated first class sticks. This Connecticut blend yields a complex mild to mellow flavor with a bit of spice and sweetness along the way.

Oliva launched this Cafe’ Series in 2015 consisting of three distinctly unique flavors: Espresso, Cappuccino and Macchiato.

The flavor infusions are subtle but defined. The aroma is delicious and wonderful in each edition. Pick your favorite brew listing and grab a five pack of 4×38’s for a taste.

This 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.
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.

Ferio Tego Metropolitan Selection Habano is one of a collection of 5 different blends. And this one is considered the best of the bunch.

Kristoff produces an extensive line of highly rated cigars.

CAO’s World Series has been a huge success bringing us cigars using the best tobacco from many countries.
This highly rated Brazilia edition continues this experience by using the finest Brazilian Maduro wrapper leaves cut from the top of the plant and then triple fermented. The result is awesome. What makes it stand out is that it’s a cool burn to the finish.
Over 20 years ago Cigar Aficionado rated this blend’s Torpedo a very respectable 91. Their description still holds up. “A dark, oily cigar with a beautiful torpedo tip. It has an easy draw, burning with a rich aroma. The smoke is complex, with an earthy, floral flavor and a toasty, nutty quality. Full bodied, with a long, toasty finish.”

Brick House Double Connecticut is rolled with the same highly-acclaimed Brick House filler blend with a genuine Connecticut Shade wrapper and Connecticut Broadleaf binder. Fewer and fewer cigars are being made with genuine Connecticut wrapper because many cigar manufacturers have found it to be more profitable to take Connecticut seeds and plant them elsewhere, like Ecuador or Honduras. J.C. Newman takes the use of genuine Connecticut tobacco by using it both in the wrapper and binder.
The result of this combination is a very spicy and peppery rich flavor- one not only unlike regular Brick House- but one unlike any other cigar on the market today. Using both Connecticut Shade wrapper and Connecticut Broadleaf Binder is what makes this new Brick House Double Connecticut such a truly unusual and unique cigar.

Avo XO was created by Master Blender Hendrik Kelner in 1988.
The XO consists of a light-tan Ecuadorian Grown Connecticut wrapper and a premium interior of Dominican binder and filler tobaccos that are aged for at least six years. It’s hard to believe this blend is over 36 years old. Amazingly enough, it continues to get accolades from industry critics.
In 2024, Cigar Aficionado rates this cigar a 92. Their description proves this old soldier can still please the best of them. “This cigar brings a toasty, nutty smoke to the palate with subtle notes of honeyed tea, orange peel and caramel. Elegant and easygoing.” Noted reviewer KATMAN still feels the flavors are very potent and pleasing. The Cigar Authority scored it a solid 90 exclaiming. “A remarkably smooth, yet richly complex medium-bodied composition balanced with notes of wood, spice, dry and sweet fruit.” While Cigar Coop shares that same 90 rating, they conclude it to be an excellent cigar and one that kept true to the milder, creamier experience known the Avo XO line to have.

There’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 Cabinet Selection edition amped up the flavor to a medium bodied smoke retaining the silky smoothness that Ashton is known for.

This brand started in Cuba in 1940 and is still being made there. When Cigar Giant Altadis acquired the name for the US, production went from the Dominican Republic to Honduras where it remains. As time passed the brand began to evolve attracting new smokers. Over 10 years ago the Series G Natural came to market giving folks who enjoy medium bodied cigars a treat that captured the brand’s heritage of rich taste in a slow burning, smooth stick.
Soon after, the addition of pitch black Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper on this maduro edition raised the needle of the taste meter just a bit more than it’s natural counterpart.

Romeo y Julieta Aniversario is a very, very special cigar to say the least.
You’re definitely a serious shopper if you’re looking at this amazing cigar. In 2003, Altadis reached out to Master Blender Jose Seijas who is a veritable icon of the industry for over 40 years. With attention to detail, his skillful multi country blend of long fillers is encased in a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra seed wrapper.

Without doubt, Montecristo Espada is one of this iconic company’s best cigars ever!
The Spanish lesson for today is: Espada means sword. When the Espada appeared garnering a 92 rating and becoming one of the top 25 cigars of the year we all knew it was worth the price. What must be remembered is Espada is made in Nicaragua at Plasencia Cigars and is a collaboration between Plasencia and the Altadis blending team, Grupo de Maestros.
With attention to detail, the very rare wrapper from 2010 encases vintage Nicaraguan filler and binder tobacco from three prized growing regions. In fact, the filler and binder leaves are even older! The result is a medium bodied purebred with an interesting combination of sweetness and spice thats creamy and balanced. Cigar Aficionado describes this amazing smoke perfectly. “An exceptional smoke offering the spice of a gingersnap with touches of cinnamon that build to a sweet, spicy finish.”
It’s no surprise Espada has been pleasing cigar smokers for almost a decade and is still going strong.

I have to put my Diplomat hat on to talk about this nearly thirty year old brand. Forgetting about the fact they were just over two dollars when they came out, you have to realize they’ve continued to be produced for decades! Why? Because they have a very devout following of fans that have come to look at this name as a kind of “Comfort Cigar”. It’s mellow to medium bodied with a slight bit of spice that has been pleasing many, many folks for such a long time. The Coronas are the best of the bunch!

This is probably one of the best full bodied cigars you’ve never heard of. This 90 rated stick has been flying under the radar for over six years.

This is a very very flavorful cigar with a great aroma.

Not that the others aren’t great! These Cedar wrapped beauties are unique and are even better if you let them age.Try a five pack for yourself.
