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’!

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua
$204.69 – $238.75Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua is another collaboration between Master Blender AJ Fernandez and this legendary cigar maker.
For starters, Reserva Real Nicaragua is a follow-up to the company’s extremely popular Reserva Real line. With attention to detail, it contains 100% Nicaragua tobacco leaves that grow exclusively on the Fernandez farms. It’s no surprise this edition gets high fives and tons of accolades.
Noted reviewer Katman rates it a 91. He aptly describes this cigar as a medium to full bodied flavor bomb. Think bread, butter, creaminess, espresso, cedar, berries, citrus, baker’s chocolate, malt, licorice, nuts galore and Gruyère cheese. How’s that for complexity! With this in mind, Cigar Aficionado gives it an astounding 93 and naming it a top 25 cigar of the year.
Without a doubt, if you’re a fan of AJ Fernandez and Romeo y Julieta, this one is a must try and should be in your humidor today!

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!

Macanudo Inspirado White
$51.49 – $142.50Macanudo Inspirado White is another of the company’s hugely successful boutique entries.
With attention to detail, Inspirado White features a six year old proprietary Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade leaf. This unique wrapper encases a vintage Indonesian binder. The fillers are four year old Mexican San Andrés and Nicaraguan Condega leaves and two year old Jalapa Valley tobacco. To say this is a very complex blend is an understatement!
The company describes this great cigar best. “We spent several years developing this blend, using tobaccos we refined and aged to perfection. Think of the most creamy, alluring cigar you’ve ever had, amplify the complexity and you have Inspirado White.” What more do you need to know?
Like all Macanudos, this Inspirado is perfectly constructed with a consistently good draw. You can be rest assured that Macanudo is still one of the world’s reigning brands for all the right reasons.

PDR El Criollito
$135.01 – $230.29PDR El Criollito was first introduced in Europe before finally making it’s way to the US.
For starters, Criollo tobacco plays a pivotal role in this blend being featured in the wrapper and in the filler. Add this to the dark Mexican binder along with vintage Dominican filler and you know this has to be good. The result is medium body, medium strength, excellent draw and a bevy of flavors. Think Natural Tobacco, Fruit, Earth, Cedar and bits of Pepper for starters.
Cigar smokers are definitely united. In Europe they love this cigar. Here in the States, the sentiment is the same. Stogie Press especially enjoyed the cinnamon notes along with the nuances of dark chocolate and almond. They rate this PDR a respectable 91. Cigar Coop exclaims, “It delivers a very classic flavor profile that can appeal to a wide range of cigar enthusiasts.” Halfwheel thinks this is a very good choice to track down and try.
BEWARE. These cigars sell quickly. Get some when we have them!

Casa Turrent 1942 Maduro
$99.00 – $145.00Casa Turrent 1942 Maduro celebrates the year of birth of Alejandro Turrent’s father.
The 1942 Maduro uses a Mexican San Andrés negro Colorado wrapper grown exclusively by the company for this cigar. Completing the blend is a San Andrés criollo binder leaf along with fillers of San Andres Criollo, San Andrés Negro and specially selected Nicaraguan tobacco.
Turrent calls it a medium to full strength cigar that is spicy without being aggressive, offering more complexity that the Serie 1901 line. Developing Palates says the 1942 is one of those good cigars where it manages to deliver layers of rich flavor from the start all the way to the nub.
BEWARE….these great smokes sell out quickly.
