MELLOW-MEDIUM

Padrón Dámaso (‘91’, Nicaragua): This newer addition to the company portfolio is a bit of a departure from the norm with its more mellow flavor profile. The blend has been reworked and tweaked for nearly a year to ensure that Dámaso delivers the same richness, character, and depth of flavor Padrón is famous for, except with a more subtle delivery on the palate.

Diamond Crown (‘92’, Dominican Republic): Unquestionably the finest mellow to medium-bodied cigar distributed by JC Newman. Diamond Crown features a long-filler blend comprised of five different tobaccos from the Caribbean Basin, Central, and South America. Elegantly balanced, it's as crisp as it is refined.

MEDIUM

Diesel Whiskey Row (‘91’, Nicaragua): These cigars are crafted by AJ Fernandez, and made in conjunction with craft distiller Rabbit Hole. The Mexican San Andrés binder is aged inside bourbon barrels - making Whiskey Row  a first for AJ - but adding in extra nuances and depth to Diesel's already prized portfolio.

MEDIUM-FULL

Punch Clásico (’93’, Honduras): The Honduran version of this classic Cuban cigar first debuted in 1969, and is still as popular as ever. Punch's  tri-country blend of Cuban-seed tobaccos aids in its unique aroma, as well as its even burn and consistent delivery. See full tasting notes here.

FULL

Camacho Corojo (‘94’, Honduras): Limited in production but not in demand, Camacho Corojo is billed as "the original full-bodied cigar."
