Montecristo Platinum

admin — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 00:02:46 +0000

The Montecristo Platinum Series sets new standards for hand-made, luxury cigars. Crafted with selected Mexican Cubano wrapper, these exquisite cigars offer the connoisseur a rich, sensual smoking experience without equal. The original painting on the box, depicting Havana’s famous harbor in an earlier time was created by Michel Delacriox, the acclaimed French master of the naïf tradition. The Platinum Series is truly a reward for all of the senses.

Macanudo Vintage

admin — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:59:13 +0000

A Macanudo Vintage Cabinet Selection cigar is the ultimate in mellowness and smoothness in two distinct ways. First, the wrapper is the rarest of all Connecticut Shade tobacco leaves. Second, all of the tobaccos used in crafting these extraordinary cigars are aged longer than any others. To set these cigars apart in yet another way, each of them displays two bands – one to identify the cigar as Macanudo Vintage Cabinet Selection and the other to designate the year of the Vintage harvest. As one would expect, the cigars grow in value as they age and become more and more scarce. Since a 1979 Macanudo Vintage cigar is older and more rare than a 1997, for example, the differences in their ages are reflected in their separate prices.

Macanudo Cafe

Introduced in its current form in the United States in 1971, this is an exceptionally consistent cigar, made with Connecticut Shade wrappers that have been aged for at least three years. The cigar has a silky feel to the hand and has a taste, which is only found in a Macanudo. The Vintage Cabinet Selection cigars are each more than four years in the making and include filler leaves from the Dominican Republic and Mexico. Vintage Cabinet cigars have been offered only in the following years: 1979, 1984 and 1993.

La Aurara Preferido

admin — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:54:47 +0000

Cigars rated 90 and above by the connoisseurs of Cigar Aficionado are the acknowledged cream of the crop. And La Aurora sun-grown Maduro occupies a place in the pantheon of the greats. Every smoker we know who has tried it has confirmed that the rating is fully justified. With its Maduro wrapper grown in the sun, subject to all the vicissitudes of nature, it’s an incredible feat to achieve such uniformity of chocolaty color. But the La Aurora extreme commitment to taking only leaves grown on the same farm in the rich soil and ideal climate of Santiago de los Caballeros, leaves picked from the same priming of the plants, leaves cured and aged in the same bale, assures such consistency.

Java by Drew Estate

admin — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:52:27 +0000

The Java is one of the more recent Drew Estate concoctions. Coffee and cigars have been long time compliments, but the Java really puts a new twist on this taste with a medium bodied blend that has strong espresso notes with hints of chocolate. While the cigar has dominating flavors, it still maintains much of its premium tobacco qualities from its Nicaraguan fillers. The secret to this balance is the infusion process Drew Estate uses in making their cigars. If you are a fan of cigars made by Drew Estate, the Java is not to be missed

Hoyo De Monterrey

admin — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:51:02 +0000

This ancient brand began in Cuba but first appeared in a Honduran-manufactured blend in 1969. Hoyo de Monterrey cigars are medium-to-heavy in flavor. Handmade in Honduras, these are truly quality cigars with a large variety of sizes to give exceptional satisfaction to the smoker. The tobaccos are blended from four nations, including the Cuban-seed Honduran binder and Sumatra-seed wrappers from Ecuador. The maduro wrappers use only the finest Connecticut Broadleaf available. The 135th Anniversary Rothschilds debuted in 2001 and are clothed in a special commemorative cedar wrap to salute the long history (and best-selling shape) of this famous brand.

Gurkha

admin — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:49:27 +0000

“The Rolls Royce of Cigars.” That is what Gurkha cigars have been referred to, and when you look at the time and energy put into each cigar, it is not hard to see why. Production of Gurkha cigars starts with a 5-year old Connecticut Shade wrapper that has been fermented an additional seven months, which is about five months more than the traditional Cuban cigar. The wrapper is also infused with cognac to further enhance the taste. The filler and the binder are grown from the Cuban piloto seed, which produces a rich, creamy flavor with just a hint of spice and perfectly aged before they are hand rolled into a magnificent cigar.

Griffin

admin — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:47:58 +0000

These medium-strength cigars, with the unmistakable Griffin logo, are made from a blend of three different types of Santo Domingo tobaccos from various harvests, and are rolled by hand.

Excalibur

admin — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:46:46 +0000

Excalibur cigars are handmade in Honduras and are the choicest cigars picked from the famous Hoyo de Monterrey line of fine cigars. All of the shapes are wrapped in beautiful Connecticut Shade wrappers, which gives each and every Excalibur cigar a robust, medium-to-full-bodied, but exquisitely smooth taste. Shapes 1-8 are available in boxes of 20, as are the Epicures, the box pressed Prensados, Minis and Cigarillos; the Minis, Cigarillos, Banquets and Emperors are packed in 10s.

Dunhill

admin — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:45:35 +0000

Each Dunhill Aged Dominican cigar is specially handmade from a special selection of Piloto Cubano and Olor tobaccos grown in the Dominican Republic’s fertile Cibao Valley. Extremely mild and well constructed, these cigars are encased in only the finest quality USA-Connecticut shade-grown leaves. The final stage of blending includes aging for one year in cedar-lined rooms to produce one of the most mellow, well-rounded, and finest cigars. The cigar is very even burning and offers a cool, smooth finish and light aroma.
