AJ Fernandez's Dorado farm in Estelí, produces almost all of the ingredients for this Nicaraguan puro blend. Made up of a Criollo binder and a Cuban-seed wrapper that are both cultivated on this estate and loaded with all AJ Fernandez long-fillers, this is one golden smoking experience you can't afford to miss. 

Tasting Notes: Expect layers of caramel, orange peel, almonds, earth, leather, and espresso in each puff. A very rich and flavorful composition that is borderline full.

The Joya de Nicaragua Joya Cabinetta Toro is a distinctive, medium-bodied cigar that showcases an eye-catching two-tone wrapper and a beautifully balanced flavor profile. Featuring a smooth Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper on the body and a darker Nicaraguan Criollo wrapper around the head, it delivers creamy notes of cedar, toasted almonds, and sweet spice with a touch of natural pepper.

Crafted with premium Nicaraguan tobaccos, the Joya Cabinetta Toro offers a refined smoking experience that evolves throughout the burn. Its smooth complexity and balanced character make it an excellent choice for both newer smokers and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a flavorful yet approachable Nicaraguan cigar.

If you dare to take a swing at speaking a little German, try the word Rauchvergnügen on for size. Umlaut and all, this elongated word literally translates to "smoking pleasure," and is synonymous with the joy one takes in the act.

However, since much of the world cannot spell or pronounce this word, GEC has abbreviated this blend to RVGN to make it easy on the rest of us. The blend, relies upon an Ecuadorian-grown hybrid wrapper, which covers a Dominican criollo '98 binder, as well as a combo of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania long-fillers.

The result is a soft little short smoke with cold draws that reveal fresh hay, green fields, and a touch of mint. Once lit, aromas of cedar wood, alpine herbs, more mint, and moist forest reinforced with notes of peat, coffee, ginger, and Szechuan pepper can all be detected.

The Alec Bradley brand revisits the post-embargo concept from a fresh perspective with this outstanding smoke.

The medium-bodied, polished, and complex Post Embargo Blend Code B15 celebrates how Alec Bradley has taken its rightful place on the global stage. The most recent addition to the series has a dual binder with Corojo leaves from Jamastran and Criollo from Trojes, as well as a Honduran Criollo wrapper from the Trojes region. Its filler combines Honduran Jamastran Corojo, Trojes Criollo, and Nicaraguan Criollo from Jalapa. This new combination gives the cigar a new look, with bands that embrace a Modernist color scheme and style.

The state bird of Arizona was the inspiration to name this cigar. The Cactus Wren features a blend of Corojo, Criollo 98, and Olor fillers, a Mexican San Andres wrapper, and a Cuban seed Dominican binder. This combination produces a smooth and gratifying smoke with rich earthy, spicy, and sweet notes that will make you want to enjoy it more than once. 

A strikingly strong, but ultra smooth smoke with distinct earth, leather, spice, and black pepper overtones. Its Nicaraguan Corojo binder and Criollo '98 tobacco filler are encased in a heavily fermented Colorado-colored Habano Oscuro wrapper. Renowned cigar maker AJ Fernandez helped create this blend for Artesano del Tobacco, and it is handcrafted 100% as a Nicaraguan puro.  

Tasting Notes:

Wrapped in a stunning Rosado Oscuro wrapper from San Andrés, Mexico, and loaded with Cuban seed long-filler, La Opulencia is touted as being a cross between the original My Father line and Le Bijou. What this creates is a 95-rated hybrid blend that capitalizes upon an extravagant mixture of dark and red tobacco strains. This bouquet produces an interesting palate of complex flavors and aromatics, with the most prominent notes being that of oak, nougat, milk chocolate, star anise, and that spicy winning combination of Criollo and Corojo '99 leaf.

The Reserva Original is a cigar that Plasencia first introduced years ago as Reserva Organica, so it is essentially an old stick but a very good one. It is actually known as the first and only completely organic mix in the entire globe, and is said to be one that Christopher Columbus would have loved when he discovered Nicaragua!

The same delicious tobacco combination from Nicaragua was actually grown in a manner similar to that of the Nicarao Indians from more than five hundred years ago in the wealthy regions of Estelí and Jalapa. You can't afford to miss this one of a kind organic blend!

E. P. Carrillo Allegiance is a cigar completely made in Nicaragua except for the Sumatra-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador. The mix produced with the collaboration of Oliva Cigars is intended to have a medium-to-full body and it's a tribute to the longstanding relationships, friendships, and alliances that EPC has forged during the years in the business.

You can feel notes of cinnamon, earth, dark coffee, and nuttiness, making for an unforgettable smoking experience.

This cigar contains only Nicaraguan tobacco that has been aged for two years and married in tercios. EP Encore is a complex blend that offers a sumptuous flavor rich in baking spices, mild tobacco notes, subtle cedar, and touches of sweetness. It's elegant, refined and nuanced from first puff to last puff, but it's also the culmination of a long career in tobacco and the result of a man who was never afraid to follow his instincts. This stick scored an unmatched 96 points rate and was awarded the #1 Cigar of 2018.

This stick is a Nicaraguan puro made with a rich, exquisite corojo wrapper and a variety of aged filler tobaccos from some of the best growing regions in that part of the world. As a result, this blend provides a rich, medium-bodied smoking experience that should improve with age and further refine in flavor with time. This is the first cigar that Esteban Carreras has made with a corojo wrapper, and apparently the varietal used in this blend was smuggled out of Cuba in the 1990s. Hence the original name of this cigar being Taken From the Devil's Hand and the recently revised title being Taken From the Dictator's Hand.

The Crux Marblehead is a value-driven premium cigar that combines exceptional craftsmanship with everyday affordability. Handmade in Nicaragua at the renowned Plasencia factory, this 6" x 50 Toro showcases Crux's signature Marblehead cap, a modern take on the classic Cuban 109 head design that provides a distinctive appearance and comfortable smoking experience. Wrapped in a flawless Ecuadorian Colorado Habano leaf, bound by an Indonesian binder, and then filled with a carefully selected blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos, the Marblehead Habano delivers complexity and balance well beyond its modest price point.

Medium to full-bodied, the Marblehead Habano offers a rich profile featuring notes of cedar, earth, baking spice, toasted nuts, and subtle cocoa sweetness. The smoke remains smooth and approachable while providing enough depth and character to keep seasoned enthusiasts engaged. Designed as an everyday premium cigar, the Marblehead line is a dependable choice for smokers seeking quality construction, consistent performance, and satisfying flavor in every draw.

With a 95 rating, the "E-III" version of the EP Carrillo La Historia was named the No. 2 cigar of 2014 by Cigar Aficionado, and over a decade later the blend continues to earn rave reviews. 

Flavor wise, La Historia is a robust cigar with notes of warm coffee and cocoa and hints of spice, nutmeg, and earth. Its Ecuadorian Sumatran binder and Nicaraguan fillers are covered by a dark chocolate accentuated Mexican San Andres wrapper, which, at the time was the first blend from EPC to sport such a wrapper leaf. This cigar has a long-lasting finish that is intended to enthrall even the most experienced connoisseur with its aromatic mocha sweetness and full-bodied textures.

The encapsulation of the Kristoff Original Maduro offers the palate notes of coffee beans, cocoa, a hint of spice, and a sweet dark chocolate finish. As the best-selling cigar in the Kristoff line, this is truly the ideal medium-bodied dark cigar for the smoker who is looking for rich, smooth flavor without a whole lot of spiciness or strength.

The delightful E.P. Carrillo Pledge provides taste in big, zesty chunks of spicy oak, licorice, black cherry, and black pepper. A warm, recognizable note of baked apple settles across the tongue just as you think you've experienced everything the cigar has to offer. 

The EP Carrillo Pledge Prequel vitola was rated #1 Cigar of the Year for 2020 by Cigar Aficionado with a total of 98 points, the highest in history. It was also awarded the Best Dominican Cigar of 2021.

The Kristoff Cameroon Lancero is a refined expression of one of Kristoff’s most beloved blends, showcasing the elegance and complexity of aged African Cameroon tobacco. Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, this 7.5 x 40 Lancero format enhances wrapper influence and concentrates the blend’s natural sweetness and spice. The cigar features a 7-year aged Cameroon wrapper over a Dominican Habano-seed binder with premium Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, delivering a smooth yet flavorful medium-bodied smoking experience.

On the palate, the Cameroon Lancero opens with rich notes of cedar, cinnamon, toasted nuts, and baking spice, followed by layers of leather, cocoa, and a gentle natural sweetness that builds throughout the smoke. The thinner ring gauge intensifies the signature Cameroon character, creating a more focused and expressive profile compared to larger formats. Balanced, aromatic, and refined, this Lancero is an excellent choice for aficionados who appreciate nuance, elegance, and a slow-burning, flavor-forward cigar.

The tangy, oaky white wine notes of this tannish Robusto match the sweeter notes of graham cracker and pecan for an interesting sweet-and-sour effect. Mild touches of almonds and cinnamon also come through. A fine smoke for fans of lighter cigars.

Isla del Cocodrilo is a popular nickname given to the island of Cuba because of its crocodile shape. Kyle Gellis – founder of Warped – was inspired by this fact to produce his latest gem: An all-Nicaraguan filled cigar that is covered by a double binder of Ecuadorian Habano 2000 and Brazilian Arapiraca descent, and then clad in an Ecuadorian Habano Deflorada wrapper. This is a medium to full-bodied stick with rich notes of cedar and earth and hints of spice and vanilla.

Tasting Notes:

This cigar is what is known as a Nicaragua puro cigar in that all of the tobacco used in the cigar was cultivated in Nicaragua. A must-have, this cigar has full flavors of molasses, coffee, and dried fruit.

A robust, full-bodied cigar, the Crux Bull & Bear toro is ideal for smokers seeking a premium, consistently smooth smoke. The premium tobacco mix, which is hand-made with an antique Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, offers flavors of peppery spice, cocoa chocolate, and smoky cedar to smokers.

Tasting Notes:

The fourth installment from a boutique brand that's been around less than ten years, the Revelation, is a beautifully constructed cigar that will quickly become one of your favorite smokes. San Cristobal Revelation is handcrafted in Nicaragua with a curated Nicaraguan blend and finished with a cocoa Educator Sumatra wrapper. This medium to full-bodied smoke is trickled with notes of leather, vanilla, nuts and topped off with a bit of spice.

The Kristoff Guardrail pays homage to a serious motorcycle accident that involved Kristoff founder, Glen Case, a few years back. While Glen is all good now, he has decided to release a cigar commemorating that detrimental day, and the free-wheeling spirit that lives inside all of us.

Guardrail is a medium-to-full bodied cigar, primarily blended with a dark maduro leaf wrapper out of Brazil and some undisclosed strains from the Dominican Republic inside. It also features a unique tobacco strain from Zimbabwe, Africa. The result is a blend that is complex, with notes of caramel, French roast coffee, dry cocoa, sweet cedar, allspice, and a signature creamy Kristoff finish.

Designed for the bold, courageous, and innovators, this cigar evokes nostalgia with colors reminiscent of a 1957 Chevy Bel-Aire, offering classic luxury. This is the epitome of what happens when classic tastes and unadulterated creativity come together to create a wonderfully smooth and vintage-inspired collection.

Tasting Notes: Chocolate, soil, leather, and cocoa.

The Grand Architect is handmade in the Dominican Republic, and comes covered in a dark Nicaraguan corojo wrapper. Inside, a Nicaraguan binder, and a filler composed of Paraguayan tobacco, as well as ligero leaf from two top growing areas in Nicaragua.

Tasting Notes:

This excellent top-rated cigar was released to celebrate the founder's 30th birthday. The entire cigar is comprised of Nicaraguan tobacco and packed with full-bodied flavor and strength. You will experience an array of spice and earth tones with a noticeably creamy smoke. The founder, Kyle Gellis, has knocked it out of the park with this one.

Nomos is the inaugural cigar from a company out of the Northeast. It is a blend of Dominican filler surrounded by a flavorful Criollo binder and finished with a beautiful habano leaf wrapper. 

It highlights a medium bodied experience and utilizes a unique aging process that all Nomos cigars undergo called the Nomos Aging Process (NAP). NAP was developed out of sheer motivation to have a cigar with a clean after-taste, rich aroma and a flavor that is consistent down to the nub.

Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and Oscar Valladares, two well-known tobacco industry gurus, have combined their knowledge and enthusiasm to produce a remarkable cigar that exemplifies the ideal balance between innovation and art. Combining the creativity and unique styles of two renowned visionaries, this partnership represents a huge turning point in the premium cigar industry.

The entire purpose of this unique collaboration was to create the Short Run 2023, which is made in Oscar's Honduran facility using an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Honduran binder, and Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers, some of which came from Copan. The Short Run 2023 is incredibly distinctive and just over medium in body. It features notes of saltiness, different nuts, baking spices, and an undertone of earth. These won't be available forever! Get yours before the blend changes once again next year!
