Graycliff 10-Year Vintage Maduro is one I always have on-hand during the cold months. This premium handmade contains extensively-aged long-fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras, all draped with a fully-matured Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper—all leading to creamy notes of cocoa with an earthy core—a perfect holiday treat that's consistent through and through.
I always keep mellow premiums around, and 5 Vegas gold is a go-to blend. It smokes well, and looks good, too—a great gift option! With five-year-aged long-fillers, it's smooth, creamy, and contains notes of wood, nuts, and a bit of sugar and spice in-between. Perfect with Hudson Baby Bourbon before a hearty holiday meal.
This '91' rated beauty from Erik Espinosa is a medium to full-bodied smoke that tastes as good as it looks. 601 Green has a dark, oily Habano Oscuro wrapper blended with well-aged Cuban-seed tobaccos from Nicaragua. This blend yields complex flavors of earth, leather, and dark chocolate. Pair this cigar with Macallan Highland 12 year Single Malt Scotch.
Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Connecticut offers the subtle creaminess of a Connecticut Shade wrapper paired with the spice and punch you would expect from hearty Nicaraguan long-fillers. This versatile, medium to full-bodied smoke is full of body and flavor, pairing with everything from coffee to your favorite spirit on the rocks. A '93' rated must try!
Macanudo is one of he best brands in the world when it comes to combining fine tobaccos to create unforgettable flavors. Inspirado White is no exception to this notion, as it combines a perfect golden Connecticut Shade wrapper with Mexican and Nicaraguan fillers. Creamy coffee notes with spice in the finish, a truly beautiful blend!
