Romeo y Julieta Reserve
$67.52 – $180.00Romeo y Julieta Reserve is yet another highly rated edition from this iconic company.
The Reserve is a successful offering appealing to a more diverse group of smokers. The addition Honduran leaves to selected Nicaraguan fillers and binder changes the body of the cigar for sure. Encasing it with a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper completes the formula. The result is a medium-full bodied taste with a flavor that’s not overpowering to your palate.
Cigar Aficionado rates this complex smoke a very respectable score of 90 points. Their description is spot on. “Initial puffs of leather and cinnamon segue into a nutty smoke of almonds and marzipan before the warm, toasty finish. Burn and draw are perfect throughout.” With this in mind, if other Romeos are too mild for you, the Reserve is what you’re looking for!

Dunbarton Todos Los Dias
$98.55 – $113.48This edition was personally created by Dunbarton’s owner Steve Saka and is a testament to his refined skills as a Master Blender. While a few may categorize this stick in the medium to full bodied taste range, I think it’s safe to state those folks are real tough guys. This is an unadulterated full flavored, Cuban style powerhouse. There’s no doubt this is Dunbarton’s strongest blend yielding a rich, robust spicy and peppery taste. The four vintage leaves contained in this cigar that are assembled at the Joya De Nicaragua factory produce a spectacular smoke for even the most seasoned smokers.

Davidoff Winston Churchill
$34.60 – $450.00The Winston Churchill line of cigars was introduced as a tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, the famous British Prime Minister. Quite frankly, here, you have a cigar in which Davidoff Master blenders have embraced and accomplished an exciting challenge by blending a cigar of complex character with a rich mixture of fine qualities by drawing on and harmonizing the tobaccos of Nicaragua, Mexico, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.
What can definitely be said is that Winston Churchill will probably be the smoothest, creamiest and tastiest cigars you will ever smoke.
