Arturo Fuente Especiales
$125.55 – $147.15These cigars are one of the Industry’s best kept secret. What many folks don’t know is that the fillers and binders of “Premium” cigars is what’s knows as long leaf filler which is very, very costly. These three editions use all the vintage tobaccos that Fuente is known for in short and medium form instead. These contents are then encased in an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper which yields a perfectly drawing, extremely flavorful medium bodied world class cigar than can be enjoyed every day without guilt.

Arturo Fuente Don Carlos
$239.60 – $395.00It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 20 years since this jewel came to market. The Don Carlos has won more awards and 90+ ratings than I could count. It’s probably one of this company’s finest blending achievements that has remained amazingly consistent over the decades. For me it yields a true Cuban style rich taste without any harshness. They’re hard to find in any style so get ’em while we have em’!

Herrera Esteli Habano
$104.55 – $227.55When Master Blender Willy Herrera teamed up with Jonathan Drew (Drew Estate) it caught everyone’s attention. As this first Habano edition hit the street receiving an incredible 93 rating along with placing #8 in the top 25 cigars of the year, we all knew a new level of cigar making had begun.
This amazing blend is a super smooth, medium bodied, perfectly made cigar with an ample draw. Its slow burn is balanced with a complex taste that slightly increases in intensity as you move along. Only as it comes to a close do you experience a robust full bodied taste reminiscent of Cuban made powerhouses.

La Aroma de Cuba Original
$173.75 – $212.50To begin with, Master Blender Jose “Don Pepin” Garcia created La Aroma de Cuba. This Ashton sister brand received a “Top 25” award twice! It’s 93 rating over 20 years ago is still a testament to its quality today. This Cuban seeded Nicaraguan blend of vintage fillers combined with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper yields a Cuban style medium bodied smoke that’s hard to beat at any price! The Robusto is a top pick!

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!

With attention to detail, the blend features Kentucky seed tobacco, grown and fire cured in Kentucky, along with Nicaraguan and Brazilian fillers. The cigar is then wrapped with a Mexican San Andres wrapper to round out the flavor profile.
The result is a smoking experience that is totally unique in the world of premium cigars.

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!

Dunbarton Mi Querida
$127.08 – $228.65This edition was Dunbarton’s second entry following the Sobremesa. This medium to full bodied cigar is a true chameleon. The first third is almost mellow with a chocolatey sweetness. As you move along the natural tobacco flavors combine with spices that kick in with increased intensity towards the finish. Yet another wonderfully complex and unique stick from this very cool company.

RoMa Craft Baka
$221.40 – $275.40RoMa Craft Baka remains of this company’s most popular cigars going on over 6 six years. The result is a solidly medium bodied stick that literally bursts with flavors and subtle spice.
Halfwheel gives it a respectable 90. Without doubt, we do know it delivers a wide array of flavors notes. Think oak, sugar cane, roasted meatiness, paprika and some strawberry sweetness. Noted reviewer KATMAN ups the number to 92. His words are short and sweet. “ This is a very enjoyable experience.” The Developing Palates crew think Baka is amazing. Their take…”Complex flavors with a nice body and strength level. Really cool approach to Cameroon.” Cigar Dojo feels that Baka is complex and quite different from anything offered from RoMa Craft to date. Cigar Coop feels… “It is still is a cigar I’d recommend any cigar enthusiast to try.” And last but not least, Blind Man’s Puff gives it the highest score of 94. Their reaction says it best. “An incredible cigar.”
With this in mind, it’s safe to assume BAKA is a top pick for any humidor.
