Strength meets stealth, in an enigma meant to unravel. How could something so smooth be born of such raw power? A robust puro from Nicaragua encased in an oily, heavily fermented habano leaf. Shrouded in creaminess, its clawed foot and coiled tail honor its namesake: The Mighty Chupacabra. A beast of a medium-full smoke, this one comes loaded with roasted chili pepper and creamy almonds, caramelized sugars, and a burn that is borderline unbeatable.

The Chupacabra line, which is among the best-selling blends within the Esteban Carreras portfolio, recently welcomed the Chupacabra Hellcat. The magnificent Mexican San Andres wrapper of the Hellcat comes paired with the same binder and inner filler tobaccos as the original Chupacabra. Additionally, the Hellcat is built with a pigtail head, an unfinished foot, and a wafer-thin box-pressing. This sets the Hellcat apart from the pack, as too does its unique foot bands and wax paper sleeving that protect its wrapper. 

El Pulpo "The Fry" is a 4x48 firecracker that uses the same 94-rated powerful Nicaraguan blend and a San Andres Maduro wrapper. These little gems from AJ Fernandez offer all the wonderful qualities of El Pulpo in a more manageable size. Made at the AJ Fernandez factory in Nicaragua, the wrapper was fermented differently from the original to give it distinct flavors.

El Pulpo Octo Ocho is one of the most unique-looking cigars you’ll see. Three cigars with a 7" length and 38 gauge create this Culebra. The cigars are rolled normally, but while they are still moist they are twisted together to guarantee that, once the ribbons holding them together are taken out, each cigar will maintain its own shape. The cigars are designed to be smoked as regular cigars, one at a time, cut from the cap and lit from the foot, despite their twisted look.

Aromas from the wrappers are relatively faint in nature, but you can feel notes of earth, nuttiness, cinnamon, barnyard and generic sweetness. However, scents from the feet are much stronger, with distinct leather leading to gritty earth, oak, peanuts, hay and light citrus peel. Finally, after straight cuts, the cold draws include cinnamon, earth, peanut shells, straw, yeast and berry sweetness.

Every Culebra comes in a single coffin with 3 cigars. You can get the single Culebra coffin by ordering the "5-Pack" option, or get the Full Box with 3 culebras, for a total of 9 cigars!

Tasting Notes:

This hefty cigar is enveloped in an oily Nicaraguan Rosado wrapper, and uses Nicaraguan tobaccos throughout, making this a Nicaraguan puro cigar. The wrapper lends this cigar some spice, while the binder and filler round out the cigar with notes of earth, leather and wood.

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!

As one of the most popular infused premium cigars on the planet, and the strongest of the sticks in Oliva's "Nub Nuance" line, the Triple Roast is an exercise in cigar blending creativity. While we do not know what goes into Oliva's super-secrete proprietary infusion process, we do know that this cigar uses an authentic Indonesian wrapper to gain Sumatran status, and relies upon an all-Nicaraguan binder and filler mixture.

The result is the perfect middle ground between an infused cigar and a regular Sumatran smoke, with notes of vanilla bean, dark chocolate, espresso, and frothed milk.

The Quesada Suspiro Connecticut Toro offers a smooth, approachable smoking experience with a distinctive sweetened cap inspired by suspiro. This delicate meringue dessert was a Quesada family favorite. The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper brings a creamy character to the blend, while Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos add layers of cedar, toasted bread, gentle sweetness, apricot, citrus zest, and soft baking spice.

At 6" × 52, the Toro gives the blend plenty of room to develop while maintaining its mellow-to-medium strength.

A subtly sweetened cap adds the signature Suspiro touch, bringing a delicate sweetness to the opening draws.
