Crowned Heads Luminosa
$24.99 – $152.15The Luminosa is another collaboration between Jon Huber and Ernest Perez Carrillo.
While the Luminosa contains a mystery blend of filler and binder leaves, what we do know for sure is that this Crowned Heads cigar is one of the most popular blends the company produces. Setting out to make a mild to slightly medium bodied smoke that’s still packed with flavor and complexity, they definitely succeeded.
Results? Cigar Coop rates it @ 90. Blind Man’s Puff rates it @ 91. Cigar Authority rates it @ 93 and noted reviewer KATMAN gave it a 94. His summary is spot on, ” The Luminosa is not a heavy cigar but smokes like one. Slow and steady as she goes. The complexity of the flavor profile is outstanding but that finish……it is almost the best part of the blend…it just keeps on chugging with no end in sight.”
The greatest facet of this outstanding cigar is that it can be thoroughly enjoyed any time of the day. It’s as great with a cup of coffee as it is with an after dinner cocktail.

Casa Fernandez Miami Arsenio Oro
$186.12 – $193.68Master Blender Arsenio Ramos has been turning out 90+ editions at Casa Fernandez for many years. This cigar was a celebration of his 80th birthday. It’s extraordinary to say the least. To say it’s just a great medium to full bodied cigar doesn’t do it justice.Yes, it’s smooth and complex and everything you’d expect from these guys. What’s great about this stick’s incredible blend is that it burns long and cool to the finish. A true taste balancing act achievement!! Enjoy BIG TIME!!

Casa Fernandez Miami Reserva Corojo
$45.00 – $155.25When you consider the vast array of entries this iconic company offers, it can become pleasantly difficult deciphering what sets each one apart from another. This Miami Reserva edition stands 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 this is a crispy, solidly medium to full bodied stick with very defined undertones of sweetness, spice and fruit.

Casa Fernandez Miami Original
$36.00 – $162.72It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 10 years since this highly rated edition came to market. This amazing stick combines sweetness and mild spice producing a medium to slightly full bodied taste that thoroughly enjoyable. I heartily recommend a five pack of 93 rated Lanceros at the very least! Origin – United States Filler – Nicaraguan Binder – Nicaraguan Wrapper Type – Nicaraguan

Buena Cosecha Corojo
$38.00 – $189.00This edition is yet another wonderfully balanced Nicaraguan puro. This perfectly made stick is a slow burning, super smooth and creamy medium-bodied joy to behold. It’s rare when you find such an enjoyable cigar that goes as well with a morning coffee as it does with cognac and Coke! The tiny bit of spice combined with the blend’s complex velvety taste is totally unique. I recommend a five pack of Torpedos to get the full experience.

Aganorsa Leaf Connecticut
$76.50 – $171.00Out of all the Aganorsa editions offered, this one has the “secret sauce”! We know that the specifics of the fillers and binder are not really disclosed, it is widely known that Aganorsa only uses the finest vintage leaves. The Ecuadorian grown Connecticut seed wrapper gives this stick a unique twist. While Connecticut usually means mild to mellow in taste, this cigar’s coat combined with the inners yields an extremely flavorful, medium bodied smoke with the signature character the company is known for. This is a wonderful smoking experience in the morning as well as a satisfying nightcap.
