C.L.E. The First Twenty Toro BP (2021)

Origin: Honduras (El Aladino, CLE Cigar Co.) Wrapper: Honduran Corojo Binder: Honduran Filler: Honduran A sleeper I've had tucked away waiting to share for a major milestone; these are incredible cigars that seem to burn forever. My last one I managed to stretch just over 3hrs of pure blissful enjoyment from it. Aged perfectly, treat yourself! [ Want more - there's a healthy stock of these rare cigars still in stock ]

Crowned Heads-Drew Estate La Coalicion Toro (2022)

Origin: Nicaragua (La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate) Wrapper: USA Connecticut Broadleaf Binder: Sumatra Filler: Dominica Republic & Nicaragua This is a fantastic coalition; think of the Crowned Heads La Careme meets the Liga Privada No.9 and had a love child! Again, aged for over a year these are ready to smoke now - the most amazing after dinner, dessert cigar!

Dunbarton Dondurma Toro (2021)

Origin: Nicaragua (Joya de Nicaragua) Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano 2000 Binder: Mexican (San Andres Negro) Filler: Nicaraguan (Criollo Esteli, Criollo 99 Seco Jalapa) and USA (Wisconsin Comstock) Always one of my most favourite cigars; these again have been sitting, resting and aging wonderfully! Known as the Ice Cream cigar (Dondurma is a way of making ice cream in Turkey, Google it - it is quite amazing). The odd pairing Mark from Timaru and I have found is the Deep Creek Mango Tango, which is available at varying places online... it shouldn't work, but it bloody does! [ Plenty in stock of course, some 2021's and some 2022's ]

My Father Cigars Don Pepin Nicaragua Vintage TAA Exclusive Toro (2023)

Origin: Nicaragua (My Father Cigars) Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan As soon as I saw these being talked about, I had to grab as many as I could! And yes, I have smoked a bloody bootload of them too; they are just amazing - as you would expect from Master Blend Don Pepin Garcia! This cigar celebrates Don Pepin's 20 years of crafting cigars outside of Cuba, 20 years of producing some of the most amazing cigars in the free world!

Oliva Serie V 135th Anniversary Edicion Limitada Perfecto (2022)

Origin: Nicaragua (Oliva Cigar Co.) Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra-Seed Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan Jalapa To celebrate 135 years of cigar production by the Oliva Family, this amazing perfecto was created. Medium-bodied with a long, luscious finish - these are absolutely epic. Sadly I had to smoke quite a few as some got well and truly damaged in the fancy box they come in. Only 15,000 boxes were made of 12-cigars.
