With great excitement and pride, Artesano Del Tobacco and AJ Fernandez announced the introduction of El Pulpo. AJ has created patented tobacco using a combination of patience and inherited methods, using the most valuable seeds that are only obtained from his family's farms. This cigar is hand-rolled at AJ Fernandez's factory in Nicaragua using a blend of Nicaraguan binder and fillers. 

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!

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. 

The McFly is one of the strongest cigars Oscar Valladares has ever produced, and it comes packaged in a completely tubular 3D box with vibrant colors and the most exciting 80s vibes!

This modern classic is full of flavors of black pepper, roasted nut, leather, and citrus zest notes. It brings a combination that includes carefully aged Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Honduran long filler tobaccos, a delightful Honduran binder, and a smooth, oily, San Andres Mexican wrapper.

This cigar is a treasure with the ability to send the smokers... Back to the future!

Notes of citrus, semi-sweet chocolate, licorice, and cedar are all present in this full-bodied, box-pressed blend. Translated to "The Drunkard," this smoke has a darker San Andrés wrapper from Mexico that is technically not a maduro but a natural varietal, a habano rosado binder leaf, and fillers from Nicaragua's top three growing regions. The El Borracho robusto, which is handcrafted in Nicaragua, was designed to mimic the Padron 1964, and therefore get company founder, Ian Reith, weened off the pricier premium cigar blend. The result is a blend that is brawny yet subtle, and an absolutely beautiful burner.

The El Septimo Saint Andrew Sampler Box is the perfect introduction to the brand's celebrated Sacred Arts Collection. This curated box contains 14 cigars — 2 each of 7 different Sacred Arts blends — allowing you to explore the full range of El Septimo's artistry in one elegant package. From the delicate Michelangelo to the bold Van Gogh, each cigar represents a different masterpiece in tobacco.

When you light up this full-strength cigar, you'll be welcomed by the traditional notes of tobacco, pepper, and cedar. This Honduran puro is wrapped in a Corojo wrapper that keeps just premium tobaccos inside. It's expertly produced in Honduras and it definitely makes you think of the cigar crafting’s golden years.

The El Septimo Raphael from the Sacred Arts Collection is a balanced 6 × 50 robusto named for the master painter of the High Renaissance. This medium-bodied cigar delivers harmonious notes of toasted cedar, cocoa, roasted coffee, and a smooth peppery finish. Like Raphael's paintings, this cigar achieves a perfect balance of elements.

The El Septimo Salvador Dali from the Sacred Arts Collection is a surreal 6½ × 54 toro named for the iconic Spanish surrealist. This medium-bodied cigar surprises with unexpected flavor transitions — sweet honey and vanilla give way to bold espresso and dark chocolate, then finish with exotic spice and floral notes. A cigar that defies convention, just like its namesake.

Tasting Notes:

Here's a bit of an aged rarity you don't see all that often: The original version of the Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte. While the new blend is very good, we prefer the silken glove palate puncher that is the vintage Extra Fuerte by Sancho Panza.

From first puff to its earthy end, this Honduran-heavy original version packs some seriously intense tastes, leading some to even consider it a pepper-bomb. However, look a bit deeper and you will find notes of cherry and toasted walnuts peeping through the smoke, along with drizzles of molasses, black tea leaves, and a touch of cedar and mulled wine spice. An obscure gem for anyone in search of something box-pressed with a bit of additional age. 

Tasting Notes:

This 93-rated cigar was created with Cuban inspiration. The elegancia boasts full flavors of nutmet, buttery toast, sugar, cream, and the unmistakable San Cristobal pepper. This cigar produces billows of smoke with a tinge of sweetness.

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.  

The BII Viso Jalapa Torpedo is a bold expression of complexity and refinement. Made with a Viso Jalapa wrapper, and all Habano internals, this Nicaraguan puro delivers a full-bodied experience rich in earth, spice, and cocoa notes, with a long, smooth finish. The torpedo shape enhances the draw and intensifies the flavor journey. As always, it features Cavalier’s iconic 24k gold diamond for a luxurious touch.

With a bold profile and a wealth of character, the Blackbird Meadowlark ascends to the skies. This medium-to-full-bodied cigar, which is wrapped in a dark, oily Brazilian Maduro wrapper, achieves a unique balance by providing rich taste without overpowering the palate. 

Layered aromas of dark chocolate, espresso, and toasty spice are brought about by an a mystery blend of outstanding aged tobaccos. Meadowlark is the ideal partner for people who value strength with style because of its smooth yet forceful draws.

Tasting Notes:

Beautifully aged tobaccos are rolled up with a dark Habano Corojo leaf. This is a strong and bold cigar that is also well balanced with smooth flavors of pepper, hickory and molasses. The Edge is a crescendo that slowly elevates to a powerful assortment of spice. A gradually complex smoke you’re bound to love. 

Rare as can be, and featuring higher primings off the tobacco plant, as well as a fair deal more age, the 10th Anniversary version of Pepper Cream Soda by Caldwell Cigar Co. is one of those obscure stogies that collectors and boutique blend snobs seek out. 

Since the ingredients are the exact same as the regular version of Pepper Cream Soda, one can expect an oily, Ecuador-born arapiraca wrapper, a piloto binder, and then more of the same piloto strain inside, along with some Cuban-seed Havana Vuelta Abajo (HVA) and a pinch of habano.

Additional exposure to sunlight tends to not only make higher primings off a tobacco plant more intense, but more resinous and oily as well, so those looking for a more aromatic, deeper layered version of the normal blend need look no further.

The Aladino Corojo Reserva is a premium Honduran cigar crafted by the legendary Eiroa family, showcasing authentic Corojo tobacco grown at the JRE Tobacco Farm in Honduras. This refined blend delivers a medium to full-bodied smoking experience with rich notes of cedar, earth, natural sweetness, roasted nuts, and subtle spice throughout the burn. Built with exceptional construction and traditional Cuban-style craftsmanship, the Corojo Reserva offers outstanding balance, complexity, and smoothness from start to finish.

Designed for smokers who appreciate classic flavor profiles with added depth and elegance, the Aladino Corojo Reserva stands out as a more refined expression of the original Aladino Corojo line. Its clean draw, even burn, and rich aroma make it an excellent choice for both seasoned aficionados and anyone looking to experience authentic old-school Corojo character in a modern premium cigar.

Tasting Notes:

Originally given the moniker "F55" this cigar is also now known as the Quattro Original. Claiming the #2 spot in 2013 Cigar Aficionado rankings, this cigar is a masterpiece. Boasting notes of roasted coffee, cedar and leather, this cigar provides a creamy smooth strength profile.
