Just like the debut release, Ain't They Lovely, the No. 162 cigar is a tribute to Green Bay and its cigar heritage and the union that represented the cigar rollers in Green Bay, Local 162. The cigar is constructed using fillers from Nicaragua and a Sumatran binder layered over an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, with aromas of honey and vanilla.

In 2013, Fratello Cigars debuted with the Classico mix. With a very clean full body finish with hints of pepper and leather, Classico is creamy and spicy.

Long-leaf filler tobacco from two different growing regions in Peru and Nicaragua is used in the mix. This boutique cigar is enhanced by the wonderful earthy aromas that this well chosen tobacco delivers. A fully matured Ecuadorian Sumatra binder holds these fillers together and adds a salty and sweet note, all while enhancing the entire blend's complexity and balance.

With roots in cigar history dating back to 1904, Lovely Cigars is a relatively recent boutique brand. They owe their name, which originated in Green Bay, Wisconsin, to a historic Wisconsin line known as Ain't They Lovely, which existed until the 1960s. Through contemporary mixes that honor the bygone era of the brand, they hope to relive previous days. This stick has one of the two blends offered by Lovely for the Bay City cigar, the Connecticut wrapper one.

Released in 2010, this cigar features a selection of La Aurora's finest tobacco from around the globe, paying homage to 107 years of artisanal handcraftsmanship. The 107 Ecuador cigar is distinguished by a sun-grown Ecuadorian wrapper, resulting in an oily texture and rustic, natural red color. Complemented by a Dominican binder from the Cibao Valley—and finished with filler from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Peru—this cigar offers a smooth burn and gives way to a light grey, consistent ash.

La Palina debuted this 1948 line at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show in honor of chairman Bill Paley's 75th birthday.

With notes of cedar, natural vanilla sweetness, gentle pepper, and baking spices, the La Palina 1948 bursts at the seams thanks to its two-year-old sun-grown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan fillers cultivated by Oliva. A very happy birthday to Bill Paley, and congrats on the fantastic new La Palina line addition!

The Arsenio cigar honors the late Arsenio Ramos, a longtime Aganorsa blender and a respected member of the tobacco business. The Aganorsa Arsenio, a limited-edition product, has two binders, a Corojo wrapper, and Nicaraguan fillers that are cultivated on Aganorsa's farms in Condega and Jalapa. It has a rich, well-balanced flavor profile and is medium-to-full-bodied. 

The Chupacabra line, which is among their best-selling models of the Esteban Carreras cigars, recently welcomed the Chupacabra Hellcat. The magnificent Mexican San Andres wrapper of the Esteban Carreras Chupacabra Hellcat is paired with the same binder and inner filler tobaccos as the original Chupacabra. Additionally, the Hellcat is built with a pigtail head and an unfinished foot. What sets the Hellcat apart is that it is box-pressed and has foot bands and wax paper covering it to preserve its exquisite wrap. 

Created in Estelí, Nicaragua, by the renowned AJ Fernandez, the Viva La Vida Connecticut puts a sophisticated spin on the brash attitude that made the song so popular. Wrapped in a smooth Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, this cigar has a medium-bodied, rich, complex, and unquestionably pleasing character. 

The blend of Nicaraguan binder and fillers behind the creamy shell is hand-selected to preserve the richness, brightness, and distinctive flair that Viva La Vida smokers have come to expect. With hints of cedar, roasted almonds, sweet cream, and white pepper, each puff offers a rich and well-balanced smoking experience without compromising flavor.

Artista Falu is so named for the red barns of Northern Europe and the United States that stand out in rich contrast to their pastoral surroundings. It features a toothy and rich Broadleaf wrapper sourced from a generations-old family farm. For the binder they selected an Indonesian leaf which adds a touch of sweetness, with a filler blend that balances flavor and strength.

Tasting notes: hints of hay and aged hardwood, dried cranberries, and finishes with cracked pepper and notes of sweet Dominican rum.

Partagas de Bronce is a medium-full, ultra smooth smoke with a nutty, citrusy, herb tea flavor. This captivating Nicaraguan puro has a Colorado corojo-seed wrapper, and is rolled at internationally renowned cigar factory El Titan de Bronze down in Miami, Florida. Only 5,000 boxes of this blend were ever produced, with each box sporting the signature of the roller who made the cigars encapsulated inside. 

Tasting Notes:

 Unique from cap to foot, this hexagon pressed cigar earned itself a top 10 cigar in 2017. Unusual construction, and bold flavors, this cigar is deserving of its 93 rating. Heaping flavors of cocoa powder and caramel nougat bombard the palate before subsiding to a smooth minerally leather finish.

La Aurora 115th Anniversary is a celebration of the Leon family's continued commitment to excellence and innovation. A showcase in complexity and flavor, La Aurora 115th Anniversary is beautiful from the presentation all the way to the finished experience. Bold, but not overpowering, it is characterized with a finish with notes of cinnamon, nuts, and citrus. This creamy cigar’s complex flavor profile unfolds beautifully with each puff.

La Aurora 107 Nicaragua blends its Nicaraguan tobaccos masterfully to provide a medium-to-full-bodied experience that emanates perfection. It is noticeably darker than the previous 107 editions. This toasty experience, with overtones of chocolate, leather, spice, and nuts, is sure to please all cigar aficionados.
