Ferio Tego Timeless Prestige
$130.00 – $215.00Ferio 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!

Oliva Serie O
$80.89 – $182.01This 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.

Kristoff Connecticut
$41.00 – $176.13Kristoff produces an extensive line of highly rated cigars. What sets their Connecticut aside from other top quality mild tasting cigars is that the four different Dominican leaves making up the filler actually gives this smoke a full flavored mild taste! Hard to explain I guess. Yes, it’s mild but it’s smoothness is unmatched.

Brick House Double Connecticut
$155.00 – $181.12Brick 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.

Saint Luis Rey Serie G Maduro
$147.16 – $188.44This 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.
