This slow burning box-pressed torpedo lives up to its well-deserved 93-point rating. With notes of earth, almond, espresso, and caramel, this cigar has flavors for days, and a burn that is immaculate in every way. A little toothy in texture, with some spice and strength as it goes, this blend is built for fans of Broadleaf who don't desire too much funk or barnyard in a boutique smoke.

A slightly heady habano cigar, this one leaves nothing to be desired. From beginning to end this Nicaraguan puro comes packed with notes of cedar, tree nuts, and honey, before finishing off with a mellow mineral smoothness.

Moderately priced, and still produced by AJ Fernandez, this old-school-looking habano makes for an excellent EDC smoking option, and favors sweeter attributes over spicier, drier ones. Here at Klaro, we find the torpedo vitola to be particularly good, as it restricts draw flow just a touch, which aids in keeping the smoke cool in nature, all while building an enormous ash along the way.

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.

Esteban Carreras Las Cañas is a premium Nicaraguan cigar launched at PCA 2025, notable for its innovative use of sweetened tobacco throughout the entire blend, not just the tip. It features a rich Habano Maduro Nicaraguan wrapper over an undisclosed binder and filler combo, both from Nicaragua. The cigar delivers a medium to medium-full strength profile with a natural, balanced sweetness, achieved by spraying sugar water directly onto the tobacco leaves. It is hand-rolled at Tabacalera Carreras.

Tasting notes: coffee, cocoa, and creamy spice.

This cigar is a medium-strength, full-bodied blend with a seductive, spicy kick that is balanced by an intense richness that only maduro cigars can provide. To achieve this, the cigar's oily wrapper was matured for an extra two years before being rolled, thus making it a rarity even though it is a regular production smoke.

Originally called Taken From the Devil's Hand, this blend has since been renamed Taken From the Dictator's Hand to commemorate the corojo seed used to make the wrapper being stolen from Fidel Castro.

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.

What makes the Esteban Carreras Unforsaken a unique stick is that this is the first cigar of the brand using top-quality tobacco that has been aged for two years in rum barrels. This medium to full body cigar has an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrappers, Nicaraguan long-filler and binder that is aged not once, but twice in rum casks. This pre-and-post production barrel-aging process rewards you with notes of coffee bean, dried fruit, and vanilla, followed by a hint of sweetness and oak.

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. 

Herbert Spencer is made with a rich aged San Andres Maduro wrapper coupled with a smooth bold medium-full Dominican blend with hints of spice and smoothness.

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.
