Sun Grown by Rocky Patel cigars is one hell of a cigar. The rich blend of choice tobaccos light up your palate with a combination of complex rich flavors while the 5 year old Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper delivers a spicy sweet element that you’ll savor until the very last puff. Aged to perfection, and masterfully blended, this smooth burn starts with a bang and finishes with a long, full-bodied finish. A serious cigar for any true connoisseur. A good-looking cigar that performs well. It’s earthy and spicy, with a cedar base and a tangy finish. Medium- to full-bodied.

H. Upmann Hermans Batch

H. Upmann cigar not only pays tribute to this great man but is also crafted as a modern take o those original Upmann cigars from way back in 1844. For the blend, an Ecuador-grown Habano wrapper leaf covers a Dominican binder and long-fillers from the Dominican and the Condega & Esteli regions of Nicaragua. This decidedly modern mix of tobaccos produces a classic, wood-forward profile with ample complexity and undertones of spice, cocoa, and cinnamon that hearkens back to the taste of cigars from yesteryear. Now don your top hat & double-breasted vest, grab a box of Herman’s Batch, and be the first on your block to light up like a 19th-century socialite.

Continuing in their Cuban tradition, H. Upmann’s 1844 Anejo line adds some rich flavor to their repertoire. Here, the name ‘Anejo’ translates more closely to “mature.” That’s a fitting representation of the blend’s tobaccos, given they’ve been aged a minimum of 5 years before they arrive on the rolling tables at the legendary Flor de Copan factory. First, they chose a given they’ve been aged a minimum of 5 years before they arrive on the rolling tables at the legendary Flor de Copan factory. First, they chose a twice-fermented Ecuador Habano wrapper. Then, a robust Broadleaf binder. This duo cradles an expert blend of fillers from Honduras, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua. And the result…nothing short of spectacular. Notes of sweet spices, cocoa, leather, and earth combine on the palate in unified harmony. Experienced smokers will love its wide variety of flavors, newer smokers will love its lack of bite.

La Aroma De Cuba ‘Mi Amor’ is hand crafted in Don Pepin Garcia’s Nicaraguan factory. Utilizing a dark, toothy Cuban-seed wrapper grown in Mexico and a robust Nicaraguan long-filler blend, Mi Amor offers a rich, medium to full-bodied profile. Brimming with notes of earth, cocoa, espresso, spices and a smooth, semi-sweet finish. Complex, flavorful, balanced and perfectly constructed, La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor is thoroughly satisfying. Packed solid with tobacco, integrates notes of cocoa bean and coffee with sweet woodiness and a touch of leather. There’s a touch of licorice on the finish.

The biggest name in cigars has now dressed itself in a new, flashy (bling bling) band. The Platinum La Habana Series cigar provides Montecristo lovers with a bolder, richer blend. Wrapped in a dark, Mexican Cubano leaf, the well balanced blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian long-leaf fillers will give you that fuller bodied cigar that the traditional Montecristo may be lacking. Every puff… imparts the dense, concentrated qualities of dried fruit, smacking of raisin, black cherry and baked plum around a core of earth and hickory.

Sancho Panza has received a slew of outstanding ratings including a couple of 93-point scores and also a 92. The reviewers noted: “This Colorado claro cigar has great shine and texture. The cap is perfect. It burns and draws well. The spicy smoke builds in strength, developing earthy, leathery notes.

Herrera Esteli is the inaugural blend created by its namesake, Willy Herrera. Influenced by his Cuban sensibilities of taste and aroma, it is an exquisite blending of the finest South and Central American long leaf black tobaccos. Approachably smooth on the palate, it allows the smoker to experience a wide-ranging depth of woodsy, nutty flavors accented with a tantalizing white pepperlike spice and naturally sweet finish.

These cigars display a smooth creamy profile with medium to full body strength. They are equipped with a blend of extensively aged Nicaraguan long fillers bound by a Honduran binder inside. On the outside it has an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. It is one of the finest offering of Drew Estate that is now individually packed in eye-catching red tubes. They bear crisp notes of cream, cedar, natural tobaccos and black pepper with vanilla undertones.

Romeo y Julieta by AJ shows us a glimpse of what can happen when two legends unite. Handmade in AJ’s factory in Nicaragua, the Romeo y Julieta by AJ Fernandez features a spicy Habana 2000 Maduro wrapper and a bevy of Nicaraguan long-fillers. The result is a slow-burning cigar, rife with notes of cocoa, subtle spice, and roasted nuts. You may think Romeo is only capable of producing mellow cigars — but with Romeo by AJ, that thought should be immediately dismissed.

This oily, blackened maduro is a genuine beaut, and it was rated a stunning ‘94’ by Cigar Aficionado! Onyx Reserve is a rich, full-bodied, box-pressed Dominican rolled with Connecticut Broadleaf wrappers and a long-filler combination of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian leaves. Satisfying and long on flavor with a pleasant aroma. You’ll find spades of dark, rich flavors all coming together in a buttery-smooth combo. And at these prices, you can afford to enjoy this top-rated gem any day of the week.

Antano CT wears a silky smooth Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, but don’t let the light color fool you – this cigar is all Joyo. The Nicaraguan filler & binder work with the wrapper to create a medium-full bodied powerhouse of a profile. It’s rare to see a Connecticut shade wrapper exhibit this much body & flavor, but the minds at JdN refused to compromise until they got the blend exactly how they wanted it. Lighting up, you’ll be greeted to an intensely peppery, rich profile with notes of toast, cedar, and leather, and you’ll be hooked before you even make it halfway. Rolled in a clean wrapper with an oily gleam, this robusto shows a lively, sweet-and-spicy interplay of graham cracker, red and black pepper and some boozy, rum barrel notes.

Gran Reserva is a Nicaraguan puro of the highest caliber. To set this one apart from its peers, Juan Martinez (Executive President of JdN), called for the addition of five-year-aged filler leaves to the mix and applied a rich and oily Corojo wrapper on top. The result is markedly different from the regular Antano: what was once a powerful, unabashed beast has been tamed, offering a much smoother ride. There’s still hits of black pepper up front, but they’re quickly joined by natural, sugary sweetness, nutty notes, and dry chocolate.

A strange name to be sure, but one with meaning: Magic Toast is named after a drink shared in one of Honduras’s tobacco fields. But I wouldn’t blame you for thinking it references the blend — this buttery-smooth cigar features a unique mixture of natural tobacco sweetness, chocolate, and hints of cedar. A blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos, Magic Toast fits right into the rest of the AB portfolio.
