José “Pepín” Garcia just celebrated his 70th birthday in October 2020. To celebrate their patriarch, for the first time ever, My Father has partnered with Elie Blue to create a once-in-a-lifetime humidor with 100 cigars. This humidor is highly exclusive and sought after because only 75 humidors have been produced. They are the definition of luxury, and made for true lovers of My Father cigars. Each set will include 100 individually packaged cigars so that they purchaser can receive the humidor and fill it to their preference.
Casa Turrent 1901 Maduro is a very highly rated offering from this exceptional company.
It’s important to know that Turrent’s San Andrés Morrón maduro wrapper leaf is widely considered by aficionados to be one of the finest available in the world. This dark and oily Maduro is a combination of very select Mexican and Nicaraguan tobaccos. Encasing this gem is the famous wrapper in question. The results are as expected.
Cigar Aficionado rates it an astounding 94! They have a lot to say about it. “A dark, pressed robusto. Each puff envelops the palate with cocoa powder and coffee before a sweet, luxurious finish redolent of caramel and black cherry.” Noted reviewer KATMAN wholeheartedly agrees and ups it with a score of 95. His advice is spot on. “You MUST buy this cigar. Do not pass Go. This is the best deal for a cigar of this quality I’ve had in ages.”

It’s hard to believe its been over 18 years since Davidoff launched this ultra-luxury brand paying homage to the company’s founder. Every facet of this highly complex, medium-bodied masterpiece is an accomplishment. The Dominican and Peruvian long fillers have been aged for over 5 years and combined with a Vintage Connecticut binder. The virtually perfect Ecuadorian grown Connecticut seed wrapper has been aged for 2 years .
These sticks are packed with tobacco and have a wonderful draw. They’re cool and slow-burning yielding a super smooth taste to the finish with just enough spice. If you have a favorite size or style you don’t see listed, notify us IMMEDIATELY for price availability and ETA. Enjoy these BIG TIME!

Espinosa Laranja Reserva is one of this company’s highest rated cigars.
Laranja Reserva is the first Espinosa cigar incorporating a Brazilian wrapper. Laranja which is the Portuguese word for orange, hence the orange tint. Underneath this unique wrapper are vintage grade Nicaraguan filler and binder leaves. The result is what you’d expect.
At the time of its release, noted reviewer KATMAN says it was Espinosa’s best cigar to date with a draw better than perfect. The critics at Cigar Dojo rate it a stellar 93 and rave. “Full flavor, full strength, full everything! An abundance of flavors, combined with premium tobaccos with a nice body to back makes this an absolutely stellar cigar.”
Not to mention the best words of praise by Cigar Aficionado. “Laranja serves as a bright and flavorful showcase for the wrapper, offering plenty of graham cracker flavor. We also detected a distinctly citrus-like quality and zest.” They give this jewel a score of 94 bestowing it one as of the top 25 cigars of the year.

This 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.

When 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.

What’s great about this stick’s incredible blend is that it’s rich taste gains a powerful intensity as you move to the finish. Buckle up!

This very interesting edition launched in 2018. It’s unique undertones of coffee and hazelnut yields a smooth smoking medium to full bodied taste that caught a lot of us by surprise. I recommend a five pack of Rothschilds. Origin – Nicaragua Filler – Nicaraguan Binder – Nicaraguan Wrapper Type – Nicaraguan Corojo
This Aganorsa Maduro edition contains the same vintage Nicaraguan long-filler leaves as the Corojo entry. The big difference is the triple fermented, very dark San Andres Mexican wrapper. Don’t let this stick’s top coat scare you! While medium to full bodied in overall taste, it retains a smooth flavor that’s very enjoyable. With a 93-rating and landing on the 2016 Top 25 list, what more do you need to know?
Oh, by the way, this amazing US made cigar is also known as the CASA FERNANDEZ MIAMI AGANORSA LEAF MADURO
Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés Maduro
Binder: Nicaraguan Aganorsa
Filler: Nicaraguan Aganorsa
It’s been said that this original edition of the series is an “acquired taste”. Yes, it was rated 93 and generally described as a very good medium bodied stick. And yes, it utilized a vintage blend of Nicaraguan long fillers and binder combined with a Corojo wrapper from 2006. While some folks felt it wasn’t strong enough, others said it was just right. As I’ve always said, taste is a personal preference.

Those folks that found the Original 13 edition a bit too strong were delighted when this Connecticut style was introduced. This stick burns long and cool yielding a mild to mellow flavor throughout with enough complexity to set it apart from other mild manner entries.

This cigar is probably one of the best examples of Just how smart Founder Robert Johnson is. The Miami edition represents some of the best Master Blending skills that famed cigar maker Don Pepin Garcia offers. We’ve often heard about “Cuban Seed” tobacco. As good as that crop generally is, as the seeds continue to get replicated, they lose some of their original growing traits. Rarely are first generation seeds of this calibre found and used and that’s exactly what has made this stick so highly coveted. Yes, this is a medium-full bodied smoke that’s uniquely complex as we’ve come to expect from Tatuaje. But this one offers an unduplicated taste that stands alone. Get them when we have them. They’re worth more than they cost. Enjoy…BIG TIME!

Since its launch in 2003, Pete Johnson’s Tatuaje cigar portfolio has grown to include more than 20 brands—both in regular and limited production and has grown from unknown status to one of the cigar industry’s highly rated and sought-after boutique cigar brands. Johnson himself has also evolved from an unknown newcomer to visionary and respected industry entrepreneur.
The Cabaiguan brand has been made for Johnson by the Garcia family since 2006, first in Miami and later in Nicaragua where it is produced today. While Pete’s sticks usually range from solidly medium to full bodied in taste, this 92 rated pigtailed edition’s strength sits squarely in the middle on the medium spot. It’s smooth and balanced with an enjoyable mix of sweetness and spice that’s not overpowering to it’s finish. This blend attracted and introduced many new smokers into the Tatuaje fold.
