Camacho Factory Unleashed THREE-2023 Toro (new)

Origin: Honduras Wrapper: Mexican San Andres Maduro Binder: Honduran Filler: Dominican Republic & Honduran Fresh out of the crate and nearly all sold out! This is the third release now from Camacho with their "Factory Unleashed" line; this time a fuller-bodied release with a Mexican San Andres wrapper. Still with the shaggy-foot though, so watch out for that when it drops in your lap... Lots of flavour going on here; cream, chocolate, cedar and earth - a great stick to enjoy. FYI - we scored another chest of 2022's release which can be found here...

Crowned Heads Le Careme Belicosos Finos Limited Edition 2022 (rare)

Origin: Dominican Republic (EPC Cigar Co.) Wrapper: USA Connecticut Broadleaf Binder: Ecuadorian Sumatra Filler: Nicaraguan Le Careme by Crowned Heads is supposed to taste like "chocolate souffle"; the cigar's name itself is a hommage to a 19th-century French chef who became well known for his high cuisine and for popularizing this dessert. The blend is an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, Nicaraguan filler and Grade A Dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The cigar is made at Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's factory in Dominican Republic, Tabacalera La Alianza. These make quite possibly the best "after diner" cigar ever!

Origin: Nicaraguan (Fábrica de Tabacos HVC S.A. de Reinier Lorenzo) Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan The brand new HVC Seleccion No 1 Natural uses the finest Nicaraguan tobaccos that have been carefully selected to craft a blend of robust Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí and Jalapa, held together by an exquisite brown Ecuador Habano wrapper.

Rich and complex in character, HVC Seleccion No 1 is a top-quality cigar manufactured in Rainier Lorenzo's (Founder of HVC) new factory. The first new production cigar line to make its way down the production lines of this brand-new facility, Fábrica de Tabacos HVC S.A. de Reinier Lorenzo.

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Twisted Love Story Figurado

Origin: Dominican Republic Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade or Mexican San Andres Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan First release in 2013 the Villiger Selecto range comes in a creamy Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade or Mexican San Andres Maduro format.
