Camacho Broadleaf Toro (2023)

Origin: Honduras (Diadema Cigars de Honduras S.A.)

Wrapper: Honduran Broadleaf

Binder: Honduran

Filler: Dominican & Honduran

Another new edition (late 2023) from Camacho (owned by Davidoff); this Honduan-heavy Broadleaf cigar is a huge hit. Medium-plus strength, a great new addition to the Camacho line-up.

Crowned Heads La Imperiosa Magico Robusto (2023)

Origin: Nicaragua (My Father Cigars S.A.)

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro

Binder: Nicaraguan

Filler: Nicaraguan

This is the regular production name of the first and most infamous Crowned Heads cigar - the Las Calaveras 2014! If you were lucky enough to be a customer of mine back in 2014, then you would've had the pleasure of enjoying the original Las Calaveras that most certainly cemented Crowned Heads fame. Of course THEY HAD to make that cigar into a regular production, it was beyond outstanding. This full-bodied, FULL-FLAVOUR Robusto is the ultimate after dinner cigar.

HVC Cerro Natural Robusto Gordo (2021)

Origin: Nicaraguan (Aganorsa Leaf)

Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo'98

Binder: Nicaraguan

Filler: Nicaraguan

This is cigar pays tribute to El Cerro, one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Havana, Cuba. Created by Cuban-born roller & master blend and HVC brand owner Reinier Lorenzo the HVC Cerro Natural Robusto Gordo uses the finest leafs from Aganorsa's vast inventory to create this masterpiece cigar. This is a Nicaraguan puro and showcases Reinier's amazing skills and his longstanding partnership with Aganorsa Leaf.

Rocky Patel Decade Torpedo (2022)

Origin: Honduran (El Paraiso)

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra

Binder: Nicaraguan

Filler: Nicaraguan

One of Rocky Patel's core lines, the Decade is a blend that took 10 years to perfect. Using rare, grade-A Sumatran wrapper over a Nicaraguan blend; this is a "quiet sleeper" of a cigar. Rated at 95-points by Cigar Aficionado, a cigar deserving of such a great score. These are regular, but limited production cigars.

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Twisted Toro (2022)

Origin: Dominican Republic (Tabacalera de Garcia S.A.)

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade and Habano

Binder: Nicaragun

Filler: Dominican & Nicaraguan

This medium-bodied barber-pole cigar from Altadis U.S.A. is a great weekend afternoon cigar. Before we got slapped with the injunction from Habanos S.A. and Cubatabaco we purchased these on a regular basis and they sold really well. So these have been resting in the humidor since 2022, aging a little longer for your enjoyment
