CAO Session
$179.82 – $197.82CAO Session is yet another fantastic blend from CAO’s brand ambassador Rick Rodriguez.
This exceptional cigar uses a near black and oily top grade Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper, Dominican binder, and vintage filler from Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
The best way to describe Session is it’s ability to be bold and flavorful without being overpowering. In fact, this cigar’s medium body remains in place from start to finish via wide open draw yielding heaps of aromatic smoke. You’ll also enjoy an array of flavor notes along the way. Think espresso, cinnamon, cocoa and bits of peppery spices to liven things up.

Alec Bradley Coyol
$137.70 – $189.00Alec Bradley Coyol is named after a plantation of the same name, Coyol Farm.
Brand owner Alan Rubin believes that the Coyol farm produces tobacco of distinction. And this blend surely proves him right!
With attention to detail, there are elements of Coyol tobacco in each part of the cigar.The wrapper is from Coyol, as is one of the binders and part of the filler. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable medium to full bodied smoke. Cigar Aficionado rated this cigar a score of 93. They described it perfectly. ” Malty and rich with a floral quality complemented by layers of cocoa, honey and cloves. The draw and burn are lush and flawless.”
Coyol is probably one of the best cigars you’ve never heard about…until now! Without doubt, it’s another long time winner for Alec Bradley.

Back 2 Back Nicaragua
$71.10 – $355.50The “Back2Back” brand was launched by Davidoff in 2018 as a fairly priced “Meat and Potatoes” smoke. My only issue with the company was only offering them in huge boxes of 50 sticks. This dark and oily Nicaraguan puro is a smooth, flavorful medium bodied cigar. This well made stick is balanced and consistent with pleasant notes of coffee and spices. While the overall taste increases slightly in intensity as you move along, it remains balanced and enjoyable to the finish.

Back 2 Back Connecticut
$243.00 – $355.50Back 2 Back Connecticut is one of two unique cigars coming to us from Davidoff.
These Dominican made Connecticut editions offer a balance of approachability and complexity, making them perfect for a wide range of smokers, especially those of you who enjoy big rings sizes.
Developing Palates feels you do get a lot of cigar for your money with an enjoyable flavor profile. Think hardwoods, creaminess, black pepper and spices in a mild to medium bodied smoke. Bespokeunit thinks this Back2Back is good as well. “This is the entry level for Davidoff and well worth a try. The Back2Back Connecticut is an enjoyable smoke fully of cedar and nutty notes, with a hint of pepper too.” Take the case of the guys at Blind Man’s Puff. They give it a 90 rating……”I thought this was a great cigar and enjoyed bigger ring gage. It has a great feel in your hand. It’s on the milder side in strength so that even someone who leans to a stronger cigar would enjoy this cigar.”
Grab a five pack of these great smokes and try them out. Money well spent for sure.

Alec Bradley Maxx
$125.00 – $221.40Alec Bradley Maxx is one of this company’s best selling cigars for over 15 years.
With attention to detail, Maxx consists of vintage tobacco leaves from 5 countries. How’s that for a complex blend! With this purpose in mind, this medium to full bodied cigar is produced at the famed Plasencia Cigars S.A. Without a doubt, Maxx’s larger sizes offer smokers a bigger way to get more of what this great cigar has to offer. To explain this, Alan Rubin says it best.”By using tobaccos from five different countries in a large format cigar, I was able to create balance, sweetness and complexity. Sometimes, bigger is better.”
What’s more important are the high ratings and accolades about this fairly priced very tasty smoke. Cigar Aficionado gives it a 91 along with Blind Man’s Puff’s score of 93. And that’s just for starters! See what smokers have been enjoying for so many years to this day. It’s no wonder Maxx is pretty much in every cigar store in the country.
