absolute flavor machine." Check out these rare, limited edition cigars

La Duena by My Father
La Duena was blended by Pete Johnson for Janny Garcia and is made in the
My Father factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. According to Pete Johnson, the
blend is a cross between La Riqueza and La Casita Criollo, the focus
being on flavor over strength.
The
La Duena blend centers around Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco, as it is used in the filler, binder and wrapper. The result is a medium to full-bodied cigar with loads of sweet, earthy flavors that balance out the spicy Nicaraguan tobacco. If you are a fan of Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco and medium-bodied Nicaraguan cigars, then this Maduro is a must try.

SWAG cigars
SWAG cigars present an all-Dominican-leaf straight ligero blend rolled

individually wrapped in tissue, SWAG has already earned several 90-score
ratings. Described as a "notably spicy smoke with some hearty leather
notes and light fruit flavors," SWAG delivers a complex, medium to
full-bodied smoke laced with notes of earth, cedar, coffee, and a subtly

SLR Gen2
Altadis has giving its Saint Luis Rey brand a facelift and a newer, bolder flavor with the new
, which comes out this month.
SLR Gen2 is a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers, a Nicaraguan Binder and a wrapper leaf of Ecuadoran Sumatra (the original blend features a Honduran wrapper and includes filler from Peru).
This is a fuller-bodied Saint Luis Rey. The traditional Saint Luis Rey was medium bodied, so this newer Saint Luis Rey is a completely different blend, but has the same identity to play off those same sweet spots.
Altadis released Gen2 in three sizes: Robusto at 4 1/2 inches by 54 ring, Toro at 6 by 54 and Titan at 6 by 60. Despite the supercripted "2" in the name, which could be read as "squared," the cigars are round rather than box-pressed. They all come in boxes of 21, and will range in price from $5.75 to $6.75 per cigar.

the Inch by EPC
The new Inch was launched with three sizes: The Inch No. 60 (#60), the Inch No. 62 (number 62) and the Inch No 64. When the Carrillo family was looking tfor the proper name to the new line, Ernsto Perez-Carrillo was inspired to name this new line of cigars "the INCH" cigar after the No. 64, which measures 1 inch in diameter. The thickness of these smokes is highlighted by the cigar band, which modeled after an antique ruler.
The INCH Series comes in Natural (Ecuador Sumatra) and Maduro (Connecticut Broadleaf). The binder is from Nicaragua, and the filler is a mix of Dominican Piloto Cubano, Corjo and Criollo ’98 from has three leaves from the Dominican Republic with some Nicaraguan Viso.
My Father El Centurion
EALIER
THIS YEAR: My Father released the Centurion in 4 different sizes:
Robusto, Belicoso, Toro and Toro Grande. It consists of all Nicaraguan
tobacco.
Filler: Criollo, Corojo Habano, and Sancti Spiritus
Strength: Full Body
Wrapper: Sungrown Criollo 98
2007:
El Centurion is a heroic cigar, both in flavor and sheer ring size. The
Emperadores is a magnificent Belicoso at 5.50 X 52. The Toro and
Torpedo sizes are just as impressive. Make no mistake: This is serious
stuff.
Don Pepin didn’t take any chances with this masterpiece and decided on a puro offering. Puros sometimes lack depth and character unless they are expertly handled. Don Pepin is nothing if not masterful. He took a marvelous three-year-old Nicaraguan Habano wrapper and then used three-year aged Nicaraguan Criollo 98 and Corojo 99 as both filler and binder in these cigars. Quality ingredients, long aging, and masterful blending produced an extraordinary cigar that outstripped the other products in the Don Pepin Garcia line.
Given its heritage, El Centurion is medium- to full-bodied, emitting the most beautiful smoke to roll across your palate. The trademark firm draw and the clean and even burn are present. El Centurion is as balanced and complex as could ever be expected from a premium cigar, finishing off with just a touch of sweetness that lingers to remind you of what you have experienced. The flavor has that creamy quality prized by experienced cigar smokers, the perfect medium for delivering hints of coffee, spice, toasted cedar, roasted nuts, and a rich caramel element hard to describe. Buy the Don Pepin Garcia El Centurion whenever you see it available. They are scarce but worth the wait.
Hustler series by ka kendall
The most notable thing about this cigar
right when you see it is the Barber pole design for the wrapper. The
Hustler combines a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper with an Ecuadorian
Connecticut wrapper to create the classic barber pole effect, which is
quite eye catching. The taste profile changes threw out the cigar which I thought was really neat.

La Palina Maduro
The Honduran made La Palina Maduro has an exceptional combination of
sweet and spice that is sure to impress. The naturally processed Mexican

texture.
A double binder from Honduras and Nicaraguan corojo and criollo filler tobaccos further highlight this beautifully rich wrapper, creating a medium-bodied cigar with refined balance. The La Palina Maduro is dark, sweet and spicy with a buttery smooth finish that will appeal to any palate.

Sam Leccia
Sam Leccia knows cigars. The guy has spent years in the business in
nearly every facet you can think of and mastered all of them. Without a
family that has generations in business, Leccia has risen to the top and
can hold his own with any master blender. Not bad for a guy from
Western Pennsylvania, huh? And after a three year hiatus from the cigar
industry, he’s back and better than ever. As usual, his cigars are
innovative, well-made, and expertly blended.
Crafted in the Dominican Republic, Sam Leccia Black is a welcome addition to the cigar industry. Boasting an incredibly complex blend of Brazilian viso and Dominican and Nicaraguan ligeros, this medium to full-bodied cigar packs a punch. Add on a Nicaraguan Rosado binder and then top it off with smooth Habano wrapper and you have an amazing debut blend. To further things, Leccia uses some dark-fired tobaccos to add a smokey flavor with hints of sweetness on the finish.
