🖤 “The Davidoff Maduro Limited Release is a successor to the Davidoff Maduro from 2008 with an adapted blend. The blend uses a dark Ecuadorian wrapper. It is picked from Corte #7, the highest grade of the to***co plant used by Davidoff. Sixteen months of fermentation are required to reveal most of the sweet notes. The to***co rests and ages for two years to further develop its aroma. Resulting in a truly beautiful cigar which is sweeter, more sophisticated and, most importantly, carries more flavour.” ~ Davidoff of Geneva🖤🖤🖤

✨Characterized as sweet, with hues of chocolate, dried fruit, oak, nuts, honey and cream, with a tinge of white pepper.

💣 💥 Espinosa 601 La Bomba IX Wahrhead Limited Edition 2023 by A.J. Fernandez. This unusual vitola is wrapped in a beautifully opaque Nicaraguan broadleaf, and filled with Nicaraguan long filler. Adorning a pointed head, and unusual tapered foot resembling an aerial bomber, this figurado is fun to smoke! The Warhead has layers of flavor, beautiful aroma, and is overflowing with personality. 💥 💣

🔥“When Warhead debuted, it was made with a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, but Espinosa switched it to Nicaraguan broadleaf in 2021 with the Warhead VII. With the exception of the wrapper change, the blend has been the same, though the sizes change with each release.”

🌹The 1964 series was created to commemorate the company’s 30 year anniversary. This new series immediately elevated the brand among critics and consumers alike. Every cigar in the ‘64 series has been aged no less than six years. They are consistent, well rounded, full of flavor, with sweet notes. A tad on the milder side and not as expensive as the 1926 series.

The consistent box pressed vitola and their use of mature well seasoned to***co, the youngest being 6 years aged was most notable. 1964 fans rave about the consistent smooth earthy qualities these ci**rs have. “Well rounded, robust but smooth, flavorful, and consistent” are the descriptor words most often used.🌹🌹🌹

Filler: Dominican, Mexican, Nicaraguan
Factory: Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr.’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A.
Vitola: 6 x 54 Toro

👑“I think we spent more time in development of this blend than on any previous TAA release to date,” said Jon Huber, co-founder of Crowned Heads, in a press release when the cigar was announced. “It really began in early 2022 when Ernesto (Perez-Carrillo Jr.) presented this amazingly unique Ecuadorian (Sumatra) hybrid wrapper to us.

Featuring Davidoff of Geneva's Escurio! The Escurio is a combination of Davidoff's Dominican premium to***co and leaf from the Brazilian region of Bahia. Sweet and Spicy comes to mind while smoking this gem that debuted in 2015. This is Davidoff's second installation of the "Black Band" which features to***co from regions beyond the Dominican Republic. The first being their Nicaraguan line which just celebrated its decadian birthday.
🔥Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
🔥Binder: Brazilian Cubra
🔥Filler: Brazilian Cubra, Brazilian Mata Fina, Dominican Olor & Dominican San

🌱Yamasá, a region nestled within the heart of the Dominican Republic, may not have been the obvious choice for to***co cultivation, but Davidoff’s commitment to innovation and expertise has transformed this inhospitable swampland into a thriving to***co haven. The name ‘Yamasá’ itself pays tribute to the region’s rich heritage, as the blend proudly showcases wrapper and binder to***co sourced from this very area.

Guided by the visionary touch of Master Blender Henke Kelner and his team of agricultural specialists, the journey to create this exceptional blend was marked by audacious decisions and a deep connection to the land. A testament to the power of intuition, the soil’s pH levels were meticulously adjusted by hand on a plant-by-plant basis. Only the finest three seeds out of thirty were deemed worthy, and a mere twenty-one hectares out of a hundred were chosen for this remarkable venture.

But the story doesn’t end there. The Yamasá to***co, nurtured with unwavering dedication, found its haven in climate-controlled storage areas, where it underwent a transformative process of hanging and drying. The result? A flavor profile that remains rooted in the core elements of earth, oak, and lemon, yet unfolds on the palate in a symphony of new sensations.🌱

🧑‍🍳Espinosa Premium Ci**rs teamed up with celebrity chef Guy Fieri to release the Knuckle Sandwich , a phrase synonymous with the big spirited celebrity chef.. The original release was contrived of two ci**rs, the: Knuckle Sandwich Habano with an Ecuadorian habano wrapper and Knuckle Sandwich Maduro with an Ecuadorian Sumatra maduro wrapper. During the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show in July, they dropped the limited edition Knuckle Sandwich Chef’s Special in a 6 1/2 x 52 box-pressed figurado. It features an Ecuadorian habano rosado wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler. In January, they unveiled the Knuckle Sandwich Connecticut Robusto J, (featured) with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and Nicaraguan to***cos, produced at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua.🧑‍🍳
🔥🔥🔥 Medium to full bodied. Notes of hay, wood, citrus, and a bit of maple. Smokes well, aroma: alfalfa bales.

✨J.C. Newman Diamond Crown No 5 Natural Robusto reads: luxury, as soon as you see that purple box. These beautifully constructed ci**rs (Fuente Family) adorn a silky Connecticut shade wrapper that give this cigar fantastic aroma along with a dance of oak, citrus, leather, and vanilla on your palate. Diamond Crown ci**rs pass through three inspections and are aged in lots of 50 in cedar curing rooms for a minimum of 12 months in order to create a quality smoking experience we’ve come to rely on from J.C. Newman over the years.✨

✨Rafael Nodal’s Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real Twisted Toro is composed of two beautiful wrappers; an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade and an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper.

✨The CAO Flathead V660 “Carb” was designed to resemble the engine blocks found in American classic hot rods. Big, bulky, and full bodied describes this novelty cigar. However don’t be fooled, it’s a complex smoke using dark Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, Cuban seed for the binder, and a combination of Nicaraguan ligero and Dominican Piloto Cubano to***co as the filler. Needless to say the Carb is a flavorful smoke with notes of ripe apricot, leather, molasses, and cedar.✨

✨Montecristo Espada Signature Limited Edition Valiente is the third release in the Espada series. Distinctively, the Valiente adorns a stunning Colorado Claro wrapper grown in the Jalapa region. Both binder and filler are from Esteli Nicaragua, and rolled in the Plasencia factory. Rafael Nodel, Grupo de Maestro, and the Plasencia family all had a hand in creating this vibrant medium to full bodied blend that has classic notes, as well as some unique flavors such as sourdough, almond, dried fruit, cream, and peanut butter.✨

Noteworthy quote by Halfwheel 🔥“This cigar is a great example of how knowing the to***co in a cigar does not tell you everything: Jalapa to***co—which is used on the wrapper—is generally considered to be a sweeter, less aggressive to***co; but this is a spicy, peppery blend due to the to***co used in the binder and filler, some of which is grown in Estelí.”
