AVE MARIA DIVINIA

Andrew |
expert picks

Crafted by AJ Fernandez, Divinia takes things to another level. this Cubanesque premium features a hefty amount of Nicaragua tobacco. It opens up with a full hit of spice that mellows gradually into notes of leather, earth, and a mix of woody notes. Certainly full-bodied but heavenly smooth, Divinia is a blessing to have in your humidor.

JAVA BY DREW ESTATE

expert picks
A cigar jam-packed with coffee! Java sure holds to its namesake. A luscious, extra-fermented maduro wrapper secures a fine mix of Nicaraguan tobaccos that have been generously infused with espresso and cocoa. These aromas work wonderfully with a sweetness from the cap.

CAO ITALIA

Andrew |
expert picks
A favorite from CAO’s popular world collection, Italia utilizes a habano seed that was brought to Italy from Cuba nearly fifty years ago. Featuring a complex blend of Italian, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian fillers topped off with a Honduran binder and wrapper, this full-bodied blend offers a unique aroma and flavor you won’t get anywhere else. I often find myself pairing this classic with a hearty red wine. You can’t go wrong CAO Italia.

MAN O' WAR CIGARS RUINATION

Andrew |
expert picks

This is hands down my favorite blend out there. Man O’ War Ruination is a perfect Nicaraguan blend featuring an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. It comes on strong but remains well-balanced with notes of cedar, leather, pepper, and a slight mix of nuts. If I had to choose one cigar to have every day for the rest of my life, this is it.

HOYO EXCALIBUR CAMEROON

Andrew |
expert picks
Crafted by one of the most historic cigar companies, Hoyo Excalibur Cameroon makes a statement from first puff. Despite never surpassing a medium body in strength, the cigar holds its weight in terms of flavor. A bold, zesty spice dominates the flavor profile due to a rich blend of tobaccos from Cameroon, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Connecticut.

PADILLA 1932

Andrew |
expert picks
Ernesto Padilla is back, and he’s brought his best recipes with him. Topped with a Habano leaf grown in Ecuador, this full-bodied Nicaraguan blend features notes of cedar and pepper up front with creamy, spicy notes and some pepper in the background. Padilla 1932 is very complex but not too strong that it will have you staggering.

JOYA DE NICARAGUA ANTANO 1970

Andrew |
expert picks
You want strong? I got it right here. Touted to be one of the strongest smokes in production, the Joya De Nic Antaño is not for beginners. Pepper and spice takes the forefront with a bit of leather and gritty earth which blend magically on the palate. the Consul is a must-smoke for full-bodied nuts.

BRICK HOUSE MADURO

Andrew |
expert picks
Brickhouse is a classic yet affordable top notch maduro from the folks at the JC Newman. Featuring a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper around a Nicaraguan core you can expect some decent strength that is offset by its smoothness with notes of spice and bittersweet chocolate with a few woody hints. This brick house will certainly stand up to any wolf and goes great with any pig… Did somebody say BBQ?
