Chillin’ Moose Original
$58.99 – $64.99Chillin’ Moose is a hugely popular and affordable premium cigar line from the Forged Cigar Company. This Original one was the first edition.
These cigars contains a five country blend of selected tobaccos adding up to a mild-medium bodied, complex and enjoyable taste. This value priced gem delivers flavors of natural tobacco, hardwoods, and leather, with hints of cocoa and pepper making it mild enough for anytime of day to say the least.
It’s hard to believe a cigar costing between $3 and $4 can be so good. Noted Reviewer KATMAN says,”In spite of my arrogance about inexpensive cigars, this a cigar I can recommend.” Cigar Czars says it best. “If you are looking for a great cigar to fill up your humidor I highly recommend these cigars.”

Diesel Grind
$124.64 – $187.80Diesel Grind is the first entry of the hugely popular Diesel brand in collaboration with Master Blender A.J. Fernandez’ for Forged Cigars.
This original Grind blend contains a meticulous mix of Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos from Esteli. Cloaking this is a mysteriously dark and luscious Ecuadorian Habano Maduro wrapper. The result is a smooth but powerful smoke on all counts.
Blind Man’s Puff rates it a very respectable 91. They describe it perfectly. “A really darkly attractive cigar with big rich flavors in the earthy/woody range with some interesting side notes of herbs and spices coming in at a few points. Good stuff right out of the gate. Big spicy flavor with lots of booming smoke.”
To put it another way, there’s probably no better cigar you can buy for under $7.

Cohiba Connecticut
$215.01 – $467.82When Cohiba Connecticut was released in March of 2019, we all looked twice at the nearly flawless, golden Connecticut wrapper. Add to this a proprietary blend of vintage leaves from four countries and you have a winner to say the least.
This is a Cohiba that’s as welcomed with morning coffee as it is with an after dinner whiskey. Smooth, cool burning, consistent and unmistakably Cohiba!

CAO New Age: MX2
$118.44 – $197.82MX2 is still one of the top maduro cigars being rolled today and available on a limited basis throughout the year.
In fact, this edition was produced almost 20 years ago to achieve one purpose; to test the capability of your taste buds! This dark, oily vitola achieves its goal via a five country blend of fillers and binder with a serious twist. Underneath the ominous looking USA grown Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper lies an even darker Brazilian Maduro binder leaf.
You can expect an open draw yielding aromatic smoke and a tight ash for starters. From start to finish, this medium to full bodied cigar is slow burning producing undertones of sweetness, spice and espresso.

CAO New Age: Flathead Steel Horse
$158.22 – $197.82CAO New Age: Flathead Steel Horse is a follow up to the very popular original Flathead series.
This complexly blended cigar is wrapped in a proprietary Connecticut Habano Grueso [meaning thick] leaf featuring tobacco from four countries containing Brazilian Arapiraca as the binder along with Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos comprising the filler. In short, this is an entirely different cigar from the original Flathead. As a bonus, each cigar is in it’s own individually box.
The result is a medium to full bodied box pressed cigar with uniquely smooth flavor notes. Think roasted coffee beans, sweet raisins and bits of peppery spices for starters. Hey, don’t take our word for it. With Cigar Coop scoring it a 90 and Blind Man’s Puff at 93, we think you’ll agree that Steel Horse is another winner for CAO.

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.

La Gloria Cubana Serie R Esteli Natural
$91.99 – $108.99La Gloria Cubana Serie R Esteli Natural is one of this company’s greatest values considering how amazing they are.
With attention to detail, Serie R Esteli uses tobacco growing in the mountains of Jalapa, Nicaragua. Dubbed Jalapa Sol. The wrapper of the cigar is Nicaraguan from Jalapa, while the binder is Honduran Jamastran and the fillers contain Jamastran and Honduran La Entrada. It’s important to note that the select ligero and viso leaves coming from multiple locations complete this complex blend. No doubt, the goal here is to create a gentler version of the famed Serie R Original. The results are as expected!
Noted reviewer KATMAN simply states this cigar is “ Rich and balanced with a lot of character” Cigar Dojo says, “The strength settles in at a very comfortable medium body” Leaf Enthusiast rates it a solid 90. Their description says it all. “I can say that I am very pleased with this latest iteration of the venerable La Gloria Cubana brand. It does present a very nice medium-bodied flavor profile that has plenty of complexity, with sweeter notes offsetting earthiness and coffee notes on a regular basis. One of the best “bargain-priced” cigars to hit the market in the last couple years.”
Together with its affordability, this LGC is another winner for all of us.

La Gloria Cubana Serie R Esteli Maduro
$96.99 – $124.99La Gloria Cubana Serie R Esteli Maduro is the dark cloaked edition to this brand’s Natural counterpart.
Serie R Esteli Maduro uses the same Nicaraguan forward blend as its Natural counterpart. The big difference here is the Grade A dark and oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. This addition is pivotal in tempering its strength while allowing flavors to surface with a deep sweetness.
Leaf Enthusiast feels this is a worthwhile smoke. Their advice….”Definitely a good addition to the LGC lineup and a good choice for Maduro fans on a budget who want a big, long-lasting cigar.” Developing Palates says this Maduro is a cool and slow burning cigar. Along with its medium body, Halfwheel claims it has a bunch of flavor notes. Think leather, gritty earth, grass, coffee and hazelnuts. Cigar Aficionado think the 60 ring gauge offering is definitely worth a try. Their take….”A monstrous cigar that’s very solid. It smokes well, and has cherry notes and hints of toast and sweet wood. Medium to full bodied.”
Enjoy this high quality and affordable Maduro to the max!

La Gloria Cubana Natural
$134.99 – $213.99La Gloria Cubana Natural is the one starting this brand into long lasting stardom.
This iconic vitola consists of a hand selected proprietary blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Binding this special tobacco is a vintage Nicaraguan binder. Encasing everything is this brand’s signature Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Among everything else, consistency is the key word to describe this very special cigar.
In a recent tasting of this original natural, Cigar Aficionado sums up their 92 rating with reverence. “Many varieties of La Gloria Cubana now exist, but the original blend, with its Ecuador Sumatra wrapper, still impresses, showing a harmoniously nutty smoke atop an earthy core and fresh tobacco finish.” Oddly enough, in 1993 this classic scored the same. It just goes to show you that greatness stays great even after 30 years .
Enough said.

Don Tomas Maduro
$148.40 – $179.78Don Tomas Maduro is another popular version of this storied brand.
This darkly wrapped edition is known for giving brand fans a bit more character than the original blend. Using a grade A Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper starts thing off. Tweaking the legendary Honduran filler with Dominican leaves adds to the smoothness. The result is a medium to slightly full bodied smoke from start to finish. Think charred hard woods, chocolate, black pepper and natural tobacco taste via a great draw. The aromatic smoke is a bonus.
Cigar Aficionado rating it a respectable 89 doesn’t hurt either.

Don Tomas Clasico
$150.53 – $206.91Having been around for over 50 years, Don Tomas Clasico is a brand worth rediscovering.
The Honduran blend enveloping this survivor is still holding up throughout the world. The addition of select Nicaraguan leaves to the filler rounds out a taste that’s been enjoyed for decades. This medium to full body, medium strength cigar still remains affordable to everyone.
How about a 90 Rating for this old soldier and being named one of the top 25 cigars of 2006 from Cigar Aficionado! Their words still ring true today. “This cigar tends to be toasty, woody and slightly sweet. Still remaining to be one of the greatest bangs for the buck in the world of premium cigars.”
If you’re looking for a great everyday smoke, Don Tomas should be in your humidor.

Diesel Whiskey Row
$167.99 – $193.99Diesel Whiskey Row is another unique collaboration with AJ Fernandez along with Diesel and the Rabbit Hole Bourbon distillery.
The binder leaves were aged in bourbon barrels from Rabbit Hole Distillery that were initially placed at the factory since 2016. The rest of the blend uses a dark 5 year old Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and fillers tobaccos from the 3 top growing regions of Nicaragua. And each of these leaves has been aged for 5 to 8 years. The result is an amazing medium to slightly full bodied smoke to say the least!
Blind Man’s Puff emphatically states, “The smoke output and construction were spot on and it’s hard to find fault with anything.” To further illustrate the characteristics, noted reviewer KATMAN describes it perfectly. “Lovely components of honey, marzipan, caramel, custard, whipped cream, black licorice, and malted milk balls. The Whiskey Row keeps you guessing.”
To say this a pleasant diversion from your everyday smoke is an understatement!

CAO World: Nicaragua
$142.02 – $143.82CAO World: Nicaragua is one of this company’s very popular World Series.
All the fillers in this spectacular cigar all come from Nicaragua, specifically Condega, Estelí and Jalapa. The Honduran wrapper and binder comes from the Jamastran Valley.
While the jury’s still out deciding if this edition is either medium to full bodied or just flat out full flavored from the get go, what has been decided is this 90+ rated cigar is the most uniquely tasting one of the entire series. It’s generally agreed this darker cigar is robust and spicy. But who would have thought that a two country blend could produce a spearmint undertone in its overall taste bouquet?!

Cigar Aficionado rates this jewel a very respectable 92. Their description is spot on. “There’s a reddish, colorado-maduro gleam to this dark cigar, whose creamy smoke is lush with fruity, ripe apple notes, molasses and brown sugar. The finish is long and spicy. Tasty and bold.”
And don’t forget about the large volume of wonderfully aromatic smoke thats perfectly matched to its long finish. Ciao Bella!

This highly rated cigar utilizes a unique blend of Colombian and Brazilian leaves found nowhere else. But the key to this amazing, medium bodied cigar is the Cameroon African binder. The cigar is well constructed and tightly packed from head to foot. Despite the amount of tobacco, this vitola has a wide open draw with a slow burn.
When Cigar Aficionado gave it a score of 92, the industry took serious notice. Their review still holds up. ” A large, thick cigar that draws and burns evenly. It’s core of earth and wood is balanced by sweet, fruity notes of black cherry and nougat with a nutty touch of cashew.” What more do you need to know about this very exceptional cigar?
