These masterfully crafted cigars are smooth to their finish and wonderful to smoke.

But don’t let this new approach fool you. 1968 still delivers intricately balanced flavor and inherent sweetness. The result is a cigar receiving unanimous critical acclaim. 90+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado, Blind Man’s Puff and Cigar Inside dictate this Macanudo is a must try.

CAO Classic: Gold
$83.21 – $176.22CAO Classic: Gold is the first cigar this legendary company created.
In the height of the “Cigar Boom’ of the 90’s, CAO added this line of cigars to their offerings. Until then, they were known for pipes, humidors and other smoking accessories. When this cigar hit the streets, Cigar Aficionado’s review then still holds true today. “A silky, smooth wrapper on a well-made medium bodied cigar. It is earthy, with wood and sweet spice notes.” Oddly enough, in 2109 they rated this blend a score of 91. No doubt the CAO Gold was a winner then and is still pleasing smokers today.

Alec Bradley American Sun Grown
$115.00 – $159.00The Alec Bradley American Sun Grown is an amazing pick by any standards.
When Alec Bradley introduced its American Blend back in 2012 it garnered high ratings and great reviews not only because it was a great overall cigar but also because it was priced right. This well made mellow to medium flavored stick was throwback to old school Florida craftsmanship. When this Sun Grown line came out in 2018 the Churchill garnered a 91 rating from Cigar Aficionado. Remember, this is a very affordable cigar! This medium-full bodied beautifully dark stick amps up the taste just a bit over the original Classic blend. However, this slow burning beauty seems as though it has double the amount of tobacco inside. Enjoy this great cigar made by Plasencia Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua.
