Padron Series ‐ Maduro
$114.75 – $344.50Padron Series ‐ Maduro is one of this iconic company’s most popular entries.
This box pressed Padron Maduro is a beautifully balanced and full-bodied smoke of exceptional quality and value. With attention to detail, all the tobacco ages for a minimum of two-and-one-half years before production. It has a strong natural tobacco aroma with notes of leather and spice. Needless to say, this cigar has a perfect draw and produces a lot of aromatic smoke.
In other words, no matter what size or style, Padrons medium to full bodied cigars are always consistently perfect in every way. With a smooth draw, large volume of smoke and robust taste that increases in intensity along the way, it’s no wonder this company’s products are always difficult to find. Rightfully expensive and worth every penny.

La Gloria Cubana Maduro
$137.99 – $192.99La Gloria Cubana Maduro remains one of world’s best Maduros even after over 30 years.
This classic Maduro stays true to its Natural original. It also consists of a hand proprietary blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Binding this special tobacco is the same vintage Nicaraguan binder. The big difference here is the dark and oily Grade A Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. As with its Natural counterpart consistency also describes this very special Maduro. The result is craftsmanship delivering rich, smooth flavor and incredible natural tobacco taste. It’s safe to say that this Maduro is still the benchmark for the mark.
In 1993 Cigar Aficionado rated this gem a respectable 90. Their description is short and to the point. “A very dark, oily wrapper. This cigar has a rich, creamy taste that is brimming with sweet, spicy flavors.” In 1996 it scored the same. And pretty much the same year after year after year. It’s very safe to say this Maduro delivers a rich flavor savoring smokers palates for generations remaining a fan favorite to this day.
If you like Maduros and haven’t tried one, where have you been!

Romeo y Julieta Reserve
$67.52 – $180.00Romeo y Julieta Reserve is yet another highly rated edition from this iconic company.
The Reserve is a successful offering appealing to a more diverse group of smokers. The addition Honduran leaves to selected Nicaraguan fillers and binder changes the body of the cigar for sure. Encasing it with a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper completes the formula. The result is a medium-full bodied taste with a flavor that’s not overpowering to your palate.
Cigar Aficionado rates this complex smoke a very respectable score of 90 points. Their description is spot on. “Initial puffs of leather and cinnamon segue into a nutty smoke of almonds and marzipan before the warm, toasty finish. Burn and draw are perfect throughout.” With this in mind, if other Romeos are too mild for you, the Reserve is what you’re looking for!

Cigar Aficionado rates this legendary medium bodied cigar a more than respectable 92. Their description is short and sweet and still stands.”This cigar delivers big, chewy notes of nougat, pistachio and almonds fortified with leathery intonations. Rich and elegant.”

Davidoff Winston Churchill
$34.60 – $450.00The Winston Churchill line of cigars was introduced as a tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, the famous British Prime Minister. Quite frankly, here, you have a cigar in which Davidoff Master blenders have embraced and accomplished an exciting challenge by blending a cigar of complex character with a rich mixture of fine qualities by drawing on and harmonizing the tobaccos of Nicaragua, Mexico, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.
What can definitely be said is that Winston Churchill will probably be the smoothest, creamiest and tastiest cigars you will ever smoke.

Macanudo Inspirado Black
$126.56 – $144.54Macanudo Inspirado Black is one of the company’s four hugely successful boutique Inspirado entries.
Coming off the success of the Inspirado Orange, this Black edition amps up the game across the board. Worth noting is the Black line is not your grandpa’s Macanudo. Crafted by a proprietary and experimental process, General Cigar declares, “Cigar lovers who now see Macanudo in a new light should be prepared to be wowed yet again.” With this in mind by contrast, this Inspirado is more full bodied. With attention to detail, this blend possesses a broadleaf wrapper, Ecuador Sumatra binder and Nicaraguan filler from Estelí.
So if you’re looking for a great medium to full bodied cigar with character, this Macanudo should fit right in. A standout in the Inspirado line, Inspirado Black delivers full-bodied boldness in an innovative and balanced cigar. In short, Black is a modern interpretation of timeless knowledge and experience, and the proof is evident in each and every puff.

Dunbarton Umbagog Bundle
$82.88 – $93.08If you’ve read my “Bundles of Joy” article posted in the ASK RICHIE section of this website, you know how most cigar makers increased the amount of bundled value brands they offer to budget conscious smokers. Umbagog, named for Dunbarton’s owner’s favorite New Hampshire lake, doesn’t quite fall into this category. While the cigars are wrapped in paper and priced considerably lower than their other entries, they’re definitely not bargain smokes. What they are is another great medium to full bodied edition that is well made like the others offering a more straightforward taste. Natural tobacco, black licorice and some peppery spices appears early on and remain throughout.

Oliva Flor De Oliva Original
$71.44 – $79.38This 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.
If you’re a fan of Oliva cigars, you’ll agree that this company delivers what you pay for. While their super premiums are priced fairly considering the great sticks they are…….they ain’t cheap! When the Flor De Oliva bundles of value-priced premiums were launched, the company made it very clear that everyone can now enjoy their brand every day for around $3 each! Even those folks that smoked long cigars with big ring sizes.
The Original edition is a medium-bodied stick that burns slowly and increases in intensity as you move along. I’ve often smoked the Churchills halfway down and thrown the rest away without any guilt!

Those of us that have enjoyed Ashton’s Classic series over the years have become accustomed to their signature taste. When the Puro Sol edition was launched it was Ashton’s first venture into the medium bodied category. Bang! Not only did it get a 94 rating, it placed #7 of the top 25 best cigars of the year. So if you’ve enjoyed Ashton Classics, you must step up and try the Ashton Heritage Puro Sol flavorful beauty.

Macanudo Inspirado Orange
$50.99 – $133.69Macanudo Inspirado Orange is the first of the company’s hugely successful boutique entries.
With that being said, the Inspirado Orange line started out as a European exclusive, but eventually made its way to the United States in 2018. Since then, Inspirado Orange has earned countless awards and solidified its spot as a humidor must-have worldwide.
Unlike the traditional Cafe series, this style was more medium bodied with a smooth character and more moderate price. The success of the “Orange” entry led to the additions of Black, Red, White and Green Inspirado brands.
Receiving a 92 rating from Cigar Aficionado caught the eyes of many non Macanudo smokers to say the very least. Their description is spot on. ” Inspirado Orange is simply a great cigar that produces a rich, buttery smoke enriched by leather and mesquite qualities and a bright finish of almonds and black pepper.” Getting a 93 from Blind Man’s Puff backs up the accolades as well. “This was an enjoyable cigar from start to finish.”
If you’ve never tried one of these highly rated cigars, now’s you chance. Any one you choose is a top pick!

Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua
$69.30 – $180.45Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua is a great example of why this legendary brand retains its top spot in the industry.
With attention to detail, this great cigar is the creation of the Plasencia factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Arriving in 2018, it surprised a lot of smokers. For starters, unlike many Nicaraguan puros, this one is actually mild to medium bodied. The big difference is it has all the flavor and taste you’d expect from a Romeo without being overpowering.
FYI, the folks at Blind Man’s Puff rated it a 91. One reviewer describes it perfectly. ” For a mild cigar this one checked off many of the points I like from a fuller bodied and fuller flavored cigar. I feel this is a cigar for almost anyone to enjoy, and look forward to smoking one again soon!” To put it another way, if you prefer a tamer smoke but don’t want to miss out on the best of what Nicaraguan tobacco has to offer, this one is a must try!

The fillers are four year old Mexican San Andrés and Nicaraguan Condega leaves and two year old Jalapa Valley tobacco. To say this is a very complex blend is an understatement!
The company describes this great cigar best. “We spent several years developing this blend, using tobaccos we refined and aged to perfection. Think of the most creamy, alluring cigar you’ve ever had, amplify the complexity and you have Inspirado White.” What more do you need to know?
Like all Macanudos, this Inspirado is perfectly constructed with a consistently good draw. You can be rest assured that Macanudo is still one of the world’s reigning brands for all the right reasons.

Stogie Guys just say…..”If you’re looking for a bold smoke with heavy earth flavors, give the Bolivar Cofradia a try, especially considering its friendly price.” Leaf Enthusiast scores this Bolivar at 9/10. Their take is worth noting too. “It was very good from end to end…and the price is great. It fits the bill for a medium-to-full bodied cigar with a good amount of complexity for a bargain price tag.”

And enters with a mild, smooth taste.” With that being said, as the high ratings came in, the industry knew this cigar was a winner. Without a doubt, this well made cigar is not your father’s Connecticut. When the highly critical folks at Cigar Dojo rated it a 90, they described it best, “The Connecticut begins with notes of spice that grows the further you go along. It’s the same bold flavor I have come to expect from Camacho, sans the heaviness you get from stronger blends. The blend of Dominican and Honduran tobaccos brought out the spice but with hints of sweetness not found in other Camachos.”
