Aganorsa Leaf Casa Fernandez Sabor Corojo
$157.50 – $180.00This edition is yet another accomplishment of Casa Fernandez’s unique ability to continue crafting intricate blends appealing to every smokers desires and specific taste preferences.
This beautifully made medium to slightly full bodied cigar delivers lots of aromatic smoke and a mouthful of intense spice, espresso, and even more peppery flavors. Oddly enough, there’s a pleasant sweetness towards the finish. Like spice? This is the one!

Casa Fernandez Miami Reserva Maduro
$46.00 – $208.44When you consider the vast array of entries this iconic company offers, it can become pleasantly difficult deciphering what sets each one apart from another. The Miami Reserva editions stand out in that what’s known as Medio Tiempo leaves are added to the fillers. These smallest leaves located at the very top of the plant contain the highest concentration of oil. Hence, they noticeably enhance the entire flavor spectrum of the cigar’s character. I’ve often said that taste is a personal preference. What I can say is that the dark San Andreas Mexican maduro wrapper added to this cigars blend produces a solidly full bodied stick with very defined undertones of sweetness, spice and fruit that noticeably increase in intensity and strength as you move along.

Rocky Patel Vintage 2006 San Andreas (11y)
$195.30 – $239.40No one disputes that Rocky Patel is one of the few Titans of the Premium Cigar Industry. Over 20 years ago as he began his quest to get a foothold in the marketplace he actually got in his car and traveled the country visiting high volume Tobacconists unannounced! When he wound up in my store to sell his first entry , I hesitantly took a chance on him. Actually, he was such a nice and appreciative person I couldn’t resist! The rest is cigar history!
If you’ve read my posts you know I’m bullish on aging your cigars to enhance their taste. What sets this Vintage edition apart from the others is the 11 year old San Andreas Mexican wrapper along with Nicaraguan fillers and Connecticut Broadleaf binder. This highly rated, expertly made combination produces a solid medium to full bodied taste that contains coffee and chocolate flavors.

Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Sumatra (10y)
$114.75 – $239.40No one disputes that Rocky Patel is one of the few Titans of the Premium Cigar Industry.

If you’ve read my posts you know I’m bullish on aging your cigars to enhance their taste. As with the other Vintage series cigars, the ’90 is perfectly box pressed. The big difference is the very dark 10 year old Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper giving this medium bodied stick a thick smoke that draws and burns perfectly.

Rocky’s introduction of this magnificent cigar celebrating his 10th anniversary in business rocked the industry by achieving a 95 rating! This oily wrapped medium to full bodied stick is as great today as it was back then and is still a bestseller. This is a rich, balanced smoke that draws perfectly and burns evenly. For me, I get a bit of cherry, coffee and buttered toast!
I highly recommend a five pack of my favorite sized Lonsdales.

Oliva Serie G
$74.83 – $254.81This great brand traces its roots back to 1886 when Melanio Oliva began growing tobacco in Cuba. After the revolution, his grandson Gilberto went to Spain and then settled in Nicaragua. In 1995 Gilberto and his son Gilberto Jr. launched the company.
The 90 rated, box-pressed, Serie G came on the scene in 2007. Cameroon wrapped cigars are among my favorite. Box press them and you’ve won my heart! Oliva’s proprietary blend of Nicaraguan fillers with a vintage Cuban seed grown Habano binder produces a rich, well rounded medium-bodied cigar without any hint of harshness. Many feel that this cigar remains one of the company’s finest to this day. If you’ve had them, you know. If you haven’t tried them, I urge you to grab a five-pack. Serie G is one of my absolute favorites.

Macanudo 1968
$170.82 – $206.82Macanudo 1968 is one this iconic company’s very special entries. With this in mind, this great cigar was made to celebrate the company’s 40th anniversary in 2008.
Since then, it’s been a steady seller to devoted fans, aficionados and newcomers alike. As it ramps up the normally mild taste that most Macanudos are known for, it also possesses a welcome complexity adding to its medium strength. These masterfully crafted cigars are smooth to their finish and wonderful to smoke.
With attention to detail, the 1968 edition provides a full, flavorful and intricate smoke for fans of complex cigars. But don’t let this new approach fool you. 1968 still delivers intricately balanced flavor and inherent sweetness. The result is a cigar receiving unanimous critical acclaim. 90+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado, Blind Man’s Puff and Cigar Inside dictate this Macanudo is a must try.

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.

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.
