Cigar of the Month Club Video Review: February 2023

Cigar making is a fascinating craft with a beautiful reverence for tradition. In this month’s selection you’ll find five super-premiums inspired by history and heritage, proving that cigars are individual works of art.

Luciano the Dreamer is the brand co-founder’s signature blend. Luciano Meirelles is involved in all aspects of the craft, working alongside multi-generational craftspeople who marry tradition with creativity. Yet another collaboration between AJ Fernandez and Rafael Nodal, the ‘90’-rated Trinidad Espíritu No. 2 is steeped in Brazilian spirit, as multiple blend components hail from the South American country. A Nicaraguan puro, Ramón Allones Special Selection comes with a sophisticated look and a rich flavor profile – highly deserving of a spot within your regular rotation. Resurrected by J.C. Newman to honor the original brand’s legacy, Perla del Mar began its life in Cuba, becoming a popular offering in the early 1900s. Today it’s an ideal anytime cigar, and a nod to Tampa’s place in tobacco history. A ‘90’-rated premium, CAO Pilón revives the time-consuming fermentation method known as the circular pilón – something nearly lost to history. By slowing down the process, each leaf is imparted with greater richness and a more enhanced flavor profile.
