Rocky Patel Vintage 2006 San Andreas (11y)
$195.30 – $239.40No 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!
If you’ve read my posts you know I’m bullish on aging your cigars to enhance their taste. What sets this Vintage edition apart from the others is the 11 year old San Andreas Mexican wrapper along with Nicaraguan fillers and Connecticut Broadleaf binder.

Oliva Serie G
$74.83 – $254.81This 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.
The 90 rated, box-pressed, Serie G came on the scene in 2007. Cameroon wrapped cigars are among my favorite. Box press them and you’ve won my heart! Oliva’s proprietary blend of Nicaraguan fillers with a vintage Cuban seed grown Habano binder produces a rich, well rounded medium-bodied cigar without any hint of harshness. Many feel that this cigar remains one of the company’s finest to this day. If you’ve had them, you know. If you haven’t tried them, I urge you to grab a five-pack. Serie G is one of my absolute favorites.

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.

Robert Caldwell describes his wonderful creation best, “This is one you have to smoke to appreciate. It is balanced, nuanced and subtle. Then out of nowhere, it sucker punches you in the chin. Packed with nicotine, Tsar will melt you into the chair. This is the go-to when you have time to kill and a table to put your feet on. ”

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.
