For the record, the Quattro Original was formerly known as Quattro F55. This great blend has consistently rated in the mid 90’s year after year after year and was named the #1 cigar of the year in 2013. With that being said it’s no coincidence how the power of proper aging can affect how a cigar tastes. The Dark Sumatra wrapper perfectly balances the vintage Dominican tobaccos. Cigar Aficionado says this cigar is full of flavor and aroma. Balanced and sophisticated.” This amazing brand is the brainchild of Master Blender A.J. Fernandez with his distinct tobacco and signature factory style so you know you’re in for a treat!

The 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.

Crowned Heads Jericho Hill ranks as the 4th entry from this great company way back in 2014.
Jericho Hill comes to us from My Fathers cigar and the mind of Jon Huber.
It’s no surprise Cigar Dojo rated this one a score of 90. Add this to what the critical folks at Halfwheel say, “It never leaves me unsatisfied; more importantly, it leaves me wanting to fire up another one.”
But there’s more! Cigar Authority bestows a score of 92 with the best summary that still stands today. “I am a huge fan of a box pressed cigars, and this one is a fine specimen with an exquisite draw, solid burn line and ultra thin carbon line.”
Cigar Aficionado rates it a 90 as well with a perfect layout of what you can expect.”Dark in appearance and flatly pressed, this cigar starts out herbal and woody, but develops heartier notes of toast, nuts and spice that lead to a licorice finish.”
If you’ve waited to try this great smoke, now’s your chance!
