If you’ve read my posts you know I’m bullish on aging your cigars to enhance their taste. This 92 rated style was listed as one of the top 25 cigars in 2017. Not only does it have a beautiful rare Cameroon wrapper, it’s been aged 8 years!

This edition has an interesting back story. Hamlet Paredes is a very well known cigar roller hailing from Cuba that Rocky actually assisted leaving Cuba to come to the US. This cigar is his first creation that Rocky commissioned him to make. The three country blend actually delivers a Cuban Style taste with a medium flavor strength. Its 90 rating is a testament to this well made, carefully blended entry.

We all love Rocky Patel Cigars. Over the years he’s provided a style for everyone’s taste. What most of us will agree to is that you get what you pay for and you have to pony up real money for one of his signature sticks. Not that he doesn’t deserve it!
When Catch 22 was launched in 2015 everyone did a double take to make sure it was coming from him. This six country blend of tobaccos is expertly made and yields a complex medium bodied flavor for a great price! I recommend a five pack and you’ll see how Rocky got a whole new group of price conscience smokers in his fold. Thanks Rocky!

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.

$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.

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!

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?!
