Ferio Tego Metropolitan Selection Connecticut is one of a collection 5 different blends.
With attention to detail, the blond Connecticut Shade wrapper encasing Dominican longleaf fillers and binder yields a smooth, mellow to slightly medium-bodied, creamy flavor that has been a consistent signature of this cigar since 1996. It’s hard to believe this popular cigar is still being enjoyed by connoisseurs and new comers going on 30 years. To say its a favorite is an understatement.
No. doubt that consistency, taste, flavor and value continue to play a part. Not only is this Connecticut blend an everyday smoke, it’s also an any time of the day smoke. While this brand may very well be older than some of you, you’re old enough now to enjoy it. It’s also nice to know that us older folks can continue enjoying it as well.

Dutch Masters, a name synonymous with quality and tradition, has been delighting cigar enthusiasts since its inception in 1912. Drawing inspiration from the rich artistic heritage of the Dutch Golden Age, Dutch Masters cigars are as iconic as the masterpieces that inspired their name. The brand’s packaging prominently features the painting “Syndics of the Drapers’ Guild” by Rembrandt, a symbol of meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. This connection to art and history has cemented Dutch Masters’ reputation as a premium choice in the world of mass-market cigars.
I like to call The Hemingway Series the “Aston Martin” of cigars. From the Short Story to the Work of Art, only the most experienced Fuente rollers produce these perfecto sized gems. The selection of tobaccos contained in all styles represents the best of the best of vintage years. The combination of Cameroon, Connecticut Broadleaf, Ecuador Sungrown and Dominican leaves is a closely guarded secret that many others have tried to duplicate without success.
These dark and oily medium bodied, perfectly balanced cigars are difficult to find and worth the search. Numerous 90+ ratings over the decades is a testament to a cigar that is still unmatched. The Arturo Fuente Hemingway Maduro edition gives you just a bit more of a robust and richer taste than its Cameroon wrapped counterpart. Get any one them when we have them!

This edition was personally created by Dunbarton’s owner Steve Saka and is a testament to his refined skills as a Master Blender.
