Micallef Colour Series #660 Gordo (2026)

Provenance: Nicaragua

The elusive Gordo vitola!

The new Colour Series has been a huge hit and rightfully so!

The Micallef Colour Blend Bundles from Micallef Cigars open with a straightforward mix of earth, gentle spice, and soft natural sweetness, settling into a balanced, medium-bodied profile that stays consistent from start to finish. The character is approachable but still layered enough to keep each draw interesting, with a clean, steady finish.

These cigars are built using a mixed long and short fillers (a Cuban sandwich), combining select tobaccos from the Colour Series production runs. Rolled in Estelí, Nicaragua, they use a Mexican Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder, offering a practical, everyday expression of the brand’s core quality without overcomplicating the experience.

My Father Cigars Le Lealtad Torpedo (2026)

Provenance: Honduras

Factory: My Father Cigars Factory Honduras

Wrapper: Ecuador (Habano)

Binder: Nicaragua

Filler: Honduras & Nicaragua

Vitola: Torpedo (6 1/8” by 52)

Strength: Medium

This new release from My Father Cigars is named after the Spanish word for “loyalty,” honoring the relationships and values that helped build the company’s legacy. This cigar is crafted in My Father’s new Honduran factory, using a warm Ecuadorian sun-grown over Honduran binder and fillers. La Lealtad adds a more medium-bodied take to My Father’s Honduranproduction line.

Pepper, cedar, earth, and roasted coffee lead the profile of the My Father La Lealtad, backed by a natural sweetness from the Honduran tobacco and a long, balanced finish. Medium-to-full-bodied, it delivers the rich flavor seasoned smokers expect from the Garcia family.

Rocky Patel Thirtieth Anniversary Toro (2025)

Provenance: Nicaragua

Factory: Tabacalera Villa Cuba S.A.

Wrapper: Mexico (San Andrés)

Binder: Nicaragua

Filler: Honduras & Nicaragua

Vitola: Toro (6 1/2" by 52)

Strength: Medium

To celebrate Rocky Patel's Thirtieth year in the cigar industry Rocky released a new cigar and a bloody expensive one at that too!  US$342 for a box of 10 cigars!

This medium-bodied cigar is complex and certainly engaging; very smooth as you'd expect due to the extremely aged tobaccos he has used in the milestone cigar.
