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.

7-20-4 by KA Kendall

7-20-4 cigars are one of those rare boutique brands that you just have to taste to fully appreciate. The complex, 5-nation blend is deftly handcrafted with Nicaraguan, Honduran and Mexican longfillers, Colombian binder, and a dark Brazilian Mata Fina capa. After curing & aging, the cigars are aged again in Spanish cedar boxes for 120 days to mellow. The body is upper-to-medium, and very smooth with an amazing flavor and aroma.  This line has quickly become one of my personal favorite.

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 maduro wrapper is hand-selected for its distinctive color and oily 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.

Asylum Corojo

Christian Eiroa has added a new Corojo-wrapped edition of the Asylum 13 cigar.


The Asylum 13 Authentic Corojo  with the release of two sizes, a 5×50 and a 6×60. The Authentic Corojo Seed is a Honduran puro wrapped in a Jasmastran Valley Corojo-seed, a sharp contrast to the original, All Nicaraguan cigar. The new blend is
rolled at the Tabacos Rancho Jamastran factory inHonduras, home to Camacho cigars.
