Montecristo Ciudad De Musica is a collaboration with boutique cigar manufacturer Crowned Heads.
With attention to detail, each Ciudad de Música cigar showcases a luxuriant mélange of filler tobaccos grown in the most fertile soils of Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. What’s more important is that each component of this ultra-premium offering is vintage grade and meticulous. No doubt, the result is an impeccable, medium-bodied masterpiece, with an intricate profile of rich flavor. These very special cigars come elegantly adorned with attractive oversized bands displaying three tokens that call to each brand’s logo, as well as giving a nod to the cigar’s inspired namesake.
Cigar Coop gave this cigar a rating of 92. I guess Jon Huber of Crowned Heads and Master Blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo turned out a winner for sure! If you’re a fan of Montecristo and Crowned Heads, this one must be in you humidor ASAP!

Joya De Nicaragua Cabinetta is yet another one of this iconic brand’s amazing selections.
The company describes this highly regarded cigar best. “Joya Cabinetta is different. It brings out the best of two different wrappers in one cigar. It was expressly blended with mellower, medium bodied Nicaraguan fillers that deliver a smoother; more refined smoking experience.“
This great tasting mild to medium bodied cigar is completely wrapped in the Ecuadorian Shade along with an additional over wrap of Nicaraguan Criollo placed on the top third of the cigar. Without a doubt, this adds a unique flavor transition to the blend.
With this in mind, it’s no surprise why so many seasoned smokers are rediscovering this time honored brand.

La Gloria Cubana Criollo De Oro represents a special blending achievement for this iconic company.
Criollo de Oro uses a very rare sun grown criollo de oro wrapper from Mao, Dominican Republic. The binder is Grade A Connecticut Broadleaf maduro along with select fillers from Honduras and Nicaragua. Combining the versatile Criollo ’98 with the rare Cuban seed Pelo de Oro is an accomplishment to say the least. What’s more important are the results.
Noted reviewer KATMAN rates it a respectable 90. His claim…”The cigar has goes from shy and smooth to big bold flavors accompanying serious complexity.” Leaf Enthusiast giving it the same number by saying it’s a smooth medium-bodied smoke right out of the gate. Think notes of cedar, dark fruit, roasted nuts, chocolate and a bit little red pepper sharpness. Cigar Coop recommends it to all cigar enthusiasts. Blind Man’s Puff simply says “It’s a great stick.”
Without doubt, this LGC is another winner for sure!
