Our humidor is now stocked with twelve boxes of rich and full-bodied sticks. Here’s a bit about our next featured cigar…

Box #12 of 12
ROCKY PATEL CONNECTICUT, SUPER TORO

"The Connecticut wrapper is nice and smooth, the band elegant and simple, the box beautiful with its gold cliche logo, nothing ornate. That's just how the cigar smokes: elegant and not ornate. The blend is tame from head to toe, with a pleasant, slightly creamy taste—no dips and valleys, it's utterly consistent and unchanging from the moment you put the flame to it right up until the moment you lay down the nub. It's flavorful but not over the top, not overly complex, not bursting with flavor. In essence, it's got a clean, crisp to***co taste, simple as that. Me likey. The most startling thing about it is the ash, it's as firm as concrete. In fact, burning my first RP Connecticut the ash was well over two inches. To pre-empt the ashheap from hitting my lap I decided to tap it off. But 'break it off' was more like it. Amazing. Overall one of the top mellow ci**rs I've had recently."—review by Keith of Cigar International

Box #11 of 12
CLE CHELE, GORDO

"CLE Chele ci**rs are another rich-tasting creation from the talented hands of CLE Ci**rs founder, Christian Eiroa. Renowned for growing the finest authentic Corojo wrapper west of Havana, Christian stepped outside the Honduran box for this Chele selection: a core of Nicaraguan long-fillers and binder to***co are draped in a buttery, blonde Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The result is a creamy, medium to medium-plus cigar brimming with, as Christian describes it, 'intriguing hints of leather bread, earth, and spice that produce a nuanced, balanced flavor from tip to nub.'"—review from Famous Smoke Shop

GURKHA CHAIRMAN'S SELECT CHURCHILL, PERFECTO

"A cigar suitable for the wine and cheese crowd needs to have a superb blend, and this Gurkha doesn’t disappoint. With high-ratings galore and fans spread throughout the world, Gurkha ci**rs have risen to become the de facto choice when looking for either a celebratory cigar or an everyday blend. Gurkha Chairman’s Select is the cream of the crop and boasts a host of vintage to***cos to provide an elegant and luxurious experience.

"Containing to***cos aged at least thirteen years, Gurkha Chairman’s Select is draped in a Criollo 1998 wrapper atop aged Dominican long-fillers. Medium-bodied and boasting a motley crew of flavor, expect to be met with notes of cedar, baking spices, pepper, and leather that lead to a relaxing but complex adventure.

Box #8 of 12
EIROA CBT MADURO, CORONA

"Each meticulously crafted cigar pays tribute to the Eiroa family, a cigar brand with a legacy 100 years in the making. They come encased in unique lift-top boxes bound in a leather ribbon, paying homage to Christian Eiroa’s grandfather and his habit for keeping his cigar cache at the foot of his bed inside a trunk.

"Hailing from Eiroa’s El Aladino factory in Honduras, CBT Maduro’s wrapper, binder, and filler utilize 100% Maduro leaves harvested from the plant’s top primings. Smooth and ultra-rich with hearty, charred notes of wood, pepper, espresso, dark chocolate, CBT Maduro’s finish is profusely bold and meaty. An extremely difficult-to-blend combination, Eiroa has nailed it… again."—review by C.L.E. Cigar Company

NUB MADURO, 4X60

"Drafted from a succulent Brazilian Maduro wrapper leaf and a complex core of Nicaraguan long-fillers, Nub Maduro presents the brand’s uber-popular short, squatty shapes with a spicy and sweet medium-bodied profile. Nub Maduro received an excellent 90-point rating in Cigar Aficionado. Since 2007, Nub ci**rs have captivated cigar lovers with their short, fat, and prominent shapes. The pioneering format of Nub ci**rs is designed to begin and end with an optimally flavorful experience. The Nub brand is handmade at the celebrated Oliva factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Add Nub Maduro to your next purchase and delve into the blend’s dark chocolaty zest and signature Nicaraguan spice."—review from Holt's Cigar Company

Box #6 of 12
BUFFALO TRACE, TORO

"I could go on and on about some of the best duos in the world: surf and turf, Dumb and Dumber, The New Age Outlaws…but today, I’m here to talk about a legendary duo that all of us can rally behind: ci**rs and bourbon. And what better place to start than Buffalo Trace distillery? With over 200 years in the business, there’s few that can hold a candle to that history.

"So let’s take a look under the hood, shall we? Buffalo Trace ci**rs start off with a potent yet balanced mix of barrel aged Piloto Cubano and Nicaraguan long-filler to***cos that are encased inside a Brazilian Arapiraca binder and then finished with dark, oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Expect notes of cedar, cashews, and leather with hints of vanilla and spice on the finish. Incredibly balanced and unique, Buffalo Trace adds another ‘W’ to their resume and delivers one of the finest ci**rs we’ve had in long time. Oh, and it pairs exceptionally well with a few fingers of the good stuff."—review from Ci**rs International

Box #5 of 12
EAGLE RARE SPECIAL RELEASE, TORO

"Upon lighting, the Eagle Rare Special Release reveals a complex and nuanced flavor profile. The initial draw presents notes of black pepper and cedar, followed by a wave of rich, dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans. As the cigar progresses, hints of toasted almonds and leather emerge, adding depth and intrigue. The blend strikes a perfect balance between strength and smoothness, with a mild – medium body that entices the palate without overpowering it. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering taste of cocoa and a touch of spice.

"To complement the exquisite flavors of the Eagle Rare Special Release, I recommend pairing it with a glass of fine aged rum. The sweetness and complexity of the rum beautifully complement the cigar’s notes of dark chocolate, while the rum’s oak and caramel undertones provide a harmonious backdrop to the leather and toasted almond flavors. This pairing elevates the overall experience, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate."—from a review by The Blank Estate

DEADWOOD FAT BOTTOM BETTY BY DREW ESTATE, ROBUSTO

"When you put a Fat Bottom Betty to your lips, you’ll get a sense of what it’s all about—before you even light it. They use a characteristic sweetened tip, similar to the one Drew Estate use in their Acid line...

"...The blend itself is incredibly warm and creamy. There are notes of coffee and earthiness interspersed with dark chocolate sweetness. It’s wonderfully balanced with touches of incense and florals that add some sophisticated nuance.

"Nicaraguan pepper and nutmeg emerge towards the end of the smoke, for a spiced final act that newcomers and veterans alike will appreciate."—from a review by Joe Manktelow-Pimm at 7Gents

Box #3 of 12
DREW ESTATE TABAK ESPECIAL CAFÉ CON LECHE, BELICOSO

“The Tabak Especial Café con Leche is an outstanding smoke, delicious in every sense of the word. It is a Nicaraguan, light-bodied cigar. With a Belicoso shape, 5.5-inch length, and a 54-ring gauge, it’s a medium-sized cigar, good for about an hour-long leisurely smoke.

"This cigar was a unique experience all around...

"....The Tabak Especial Café con Leche is one of the best ci**rs I’ve had in a very long time. I may consider picking up a box. I highly recommend it."—excerpt from a review by Garrett Ham

KRISTOFF CONNECTICUT, GORDO (6 X 60)

“Overall, the Kristoff Connecticut is by far, one of the most flavorful mild ci**rs I have enjoyed. If I was blindfolded and you gave me this I would not have thought it was a Connecticut wrapped cigar. Glenn Case and his boutique Kristoff Ci**rs has a true winner with this. This is a cigar that can be enjoyed as your first of the day or even mid day or end of the night.”—excerpt from a review by Stogie Press

Box #1 of 12
CAO BRAZILIA AMAZON¹

“The cigar that put Brazilian wrappers on the map. CAO Brazilia’s lustrous wrapper is perfectly aged and blended with Nicaraguan fillers, creating a full-bodied cigar with an earthy, floral and nutty quality and a long, luxurious finish. It’s a fitting tribute to a country that’s celebrated for creating beautiful things.”

¹ “Amazon” is the designation CAO gives to its Brazilia line of ci**rs in the ”gordo” size. In the near future, we’ll share a series of posts that gives an overview of a cigar’s possible ”vitola,” that is, the different shapes and sizes that a cigar can have. Gordo is just one of the many sizes a cigar can take. More on that later.

10/21/2023

The humidor is now in place and waiting patiently to be filled by our first order, which is in transit. We had a lot of fun sitting down this afternoon and figuring out what to bring to you first.
