Summer Sizzlers

Summer is in full swing! And here at CIGAR.com, we’ve lined up some sizzlers for those summer nights. The kind that pack a punch, pair well with a good cocktail, and are among some of the biggest brands in the business. Go ahead and treat yourself to an ultra-rare Camacho Pre-Embargo. Or maybe tonight feels like a rum and cola with an Alec Bradley Connecticut? And I bet anyone can get behind the '94' rated Rocky Patel Royale. Just a few options from this month’s scorching hot lineup.

Just a few options from this month’s scorching hot lineup.

The Camacho Pre-Embargo cigar is a truly unique gem that needs to have a place in your humidor. This flavorful cigar is covered in a Jamastran Corojo 99 wrapper leaf which encases Honduran tobaccos and a few leaves of pre-embargo Cuban tobacco. Giving this cigar a rich, medium-bodied smoke with notes of cocoa, nuts, and cedar. To pair with this beauty, I suggest a Negroni.
The after-dinner cigar gets all the credit. To me, it’s the morning cigar that gets me going. Pour a nice cup of coffee, fire up a Connecticut-wrapped gem, and gather my thoughts…an exceptional way to start the day. So, this month’s Alec Bradley Connecticut really resonates with me. A complex blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos finished with a seamless Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. 
It’s pretty easy to get behind this one, huh? Nothing says 4th of July like a CAO America! But all patriotism aside, this cigar is the real deal. This ‘92’ rated stunner comes equipped with a four-country blend of tobaccos finished with a sleek barber pole wrapper (maduro and Connecticut). Starting off with a hearty spice, the blend transitions to a rich dark chocolate note while offering brief notes of vanilla throughout.
Its tough to pick a favorite amongst Rocky Patel’s award-winning portfolio. The ‘95’ rated Decade, the Edge series, the Vintage blends…all good choices! But I keep coming back to the ‘94’ rated Royale. A bold Nicaraguan blend finished with a silky-smooth Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that produces rich notes of roasted nuts, pepper, oak, sweet cream, cacao, and caramel throughout.
This ‘93’ rated premium marked the golden anniversary of the Toraño Exodus line – a blend commemorating all cigar families forced to flee Cuba. A toothy Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper atop long-fillers from two prized Nicaraguan regions dance on the palate with notes of earth, baking spice, black pepper, and turbinado. Medium to full-bodied, a long finish awaits all who enjoy it.
