Back 2 Back Nicaragua
$71.10 – $355.50The “Back2Back” brand was launched by Davidoff in 2018 as a fairly priced “Meat and Potatoes” smoke. My only issue with the company was only offering them in huge boxes of 50 sticks. This dark and oily Nicaraguan puro is a smooth, flavorful medium bodied cigar. This well made stick is balanced and consistent with pleasant notes of coffee and spices. While the overall taste increases slightly in intensity as you move along, it remains balanced and enjoyable to the finish.

Back 2 Back Connecticut
$243.00 – $355.50Back 2 Back Connecticut is one of two unique cigars coming to us from Davidoff.
These Dominican made Connecticut editions offer a balance of approachability and complexity, making them perfect for a wide range of smokers, especially those of you who enjoy big rings sizes.
Developing Palates feels you do get a lot of cigar for your money with an enjoyable flavor profile. Think hardwoods, creaminess, black pepper and spices in a mild to medium bodied smoke. Bespokeunit thinks this Back2Back is good as well. “This is the entry level for Davidoff and well worth a try. The Back2Back Connecticut is an enjoyable smoke fully of cedar and nutty notes, with a hint of pepper too.” Take the case of the guys at Blind Man’s Puff. They give it a 90 rating……”I thought this was a great cigar and enjoyed bigger ring gage. It has a great feel in your hand. It’s on the milder side in strength so that even someone who leans to a stronger cigar would enjoy this cigar.”
Grab a five pack of these great smokes and try them out. Money well spent for sure.

Rocky Patel Vintage 2003 Cameroon (8y)
$186.30 – $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. 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!
The result is a sold medium to full bodied, well rounded smoke that is uncommonly smooth.

When he launched the Tavicusa line in 2018 it was well received and was highly rated. This Nicaraguan puro is as superior as his Vintage series with a bit of a twist. This medium to full bodied stick utilizes a unique Mexican San Andreas wrapper giving it a bit of toasty sweetness for you smoking pleasure.

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!

Rocky Patel Bold by Nish
$183.60 – $208.80As you may or may not know, Nish is rocky’s younger brother. What most people don’t know is that this cigar is a hybrid masterpiece. The double binder of Connecticut seed and Mexican leaves blended with two distinct vintage Nicaraguan long fillers is encased in a dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The result is a powerful stick possessing sweetness and spice, with coffee and clove undertones. And yes, it ramps up as you move along as well. Buckle up!

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! One of the keys to Rocky’s success over the years is the number of choices he continues to create for all of us to enjoy.
When this edition launched in 2010, shortly after it was awarded the #6 Best Cigar of 2011. Then in 2018 it garnered another top 25 placement. All along the way getting 90+ ratings year after year. This still amazing medium-full bodied stick is jammed packed with tobacco yielding a slow, smooth burn that increases in intensity as you move along. If you’re a fan of Rocky’s stuff you’ve tried it. If you’re not, you will be after trying it! Enough said!

Oliva Gilberto Reserva Blanc
$123.36 – $147.63This 92 rated cedar wrapped edition was appropriately named paying homage to Oliva’s founder. Encasing this stick with an Ecuadorian grown Connecticut seed wrapper over the Nicaraguan long fillers and Ecuadorian binder produces a much mellower overall flavored taste than its original red labeled counterpart. This well made cigar yields a pleasant combination of sweetness and slight spice that’s smooth and creamy.
