ZIno Platinum Z-class
Zino Platinum Z-Class cigars feature Nicaraguan and Honduran longfillers
framed in Peruvian binders and capped in dark Dominican wrappers grown
in the Yamasa region. These carefully-selected and aged tobaccos create a
spicy, medium-to-full bodied cigar. While Z-Class is the fullest-bodied
and most complex Zino Platinum to date, each shape has its own unique
strength and flavor. Zino Platinum smokers demand perfection, and
Z-Class delivers exactly that.
My Uzi Weighs a Ton
Introducing Jonathan Drew’s latest creation, My Uzi Weighs a Ton - a
most excellent edition to Drew Estate’s Subculture Studio. This joint
project with Joya de Nicaragua is medium to full in body, and boasts a
husky series of 60-ring vitolas booming with flavor. Dark and oily San
Andres maduro wrappers conceal a hefty dose of Nicaraguan and Brazilian
long-fillers secured by a smooth Connecticut ’Capote’ binder. The smoke
is hearty and rich, unveiling a deep series of bold yet balanced flavors
from start to finish. Layered with complexity - earth, leather, pepper,
sweetness, cocoa - the massive 60-ring frame is the ultimate vehicle to
savor each of these complex intricacies throughout the slow and cool
burn.
Flor De Las Antillas
Box-pressed beauties from My Father.
Introducing the Flor de las Antillas, the first entirely box-pressed line from My Father cigars. Meaning ’Flower of the Antilles’, the Flor de las Antillas represents Cuba, the largest island in the Greater Antilles islands, and home to the Garcia family’s rich cigar making heritage. Traditionally focused on more full-bodied cigars, Flor de las Antillas ventures into the company’s untapped niche of a true medium-bodied experience.
Featuring an all-Nicaraguan blend of tobaccos, Flor de las Antillas maintains My Father’s reputation for crafting full-flavored, well constructed handmades. Greeting you from the outside is a dark brown Nicaraguan Sun Grown wrapper beautifully box-pressed and smooth to the touch. This leaf houses a bouquet of Nicaraguan long-fillers and binder, to create an exceptionally balanced and smooth experience. Each Flor de las Antillas delivers a distinct array of flavors, including notes of cocoa, pepper, sweet cedar, and earth. From start to finish, Flor de las Antillas maintains its smooth character and never goes a tick over medium-bodied, creating an anytime of day My Father experience.
It didn’t take long for Flor de Las Antillas to catch the eye of critics earning eight 90+ ratings, including #1 Cigar of the Year honors and a 96-point score in the process, which noted: "Delicious from the first puff, with notes of nutmeg, white pepper and just enough strength without being overpowering. They are hard to put down."

La Aroma De cuba Mi Amor reserva
Hand-crafted in Nicaragua at Pepin Garcia’s My Father factory, Mi
Amor Reserva is draped in a dark and enticing Cuban-seed San Andres
Oscuro wrapper. This toothsome leaf hugs a potent array of aged
Nicaraguan long-fillers. Together this ensemble delivers a bevy of rich,
smooth flavors in spades. Notes of roasted coffee, cocoa, earth,
sweetness and a hint of cedar all make an appearance behind an
impressively refined finish. Throughout the cool, slow burn, expect a
gentle note of spice to enter the fray, weaving its way through the
impressive bouquet. Although a tad stronger than its counterpart, Mi
Amor Reserva never sacrifices an ounce of that renowned La Aroma
smoothness.
torano master maduro and salutem
Since launching the original Master in 2010, the brand has received numerous 90+ ratings, including a 98 rating in Cigar Journal Magazine,
the Torano Family added a Maduro version with a Nicaraguan/Dominican
core, Ecuador Habano binder, and a sun-grown Nicaraguan Habano Maduro
wrapper. The result was a complex cigar with an abundance of flavor and
sweet-spicy notes.
Salutem
cigar by is a new, exciting cigar from Carlos Torano. Salutem means
Welcome in Latin and we certainly welcome this new intro. Dressed in Habano wrapper from Ecuador, with Jalapa
Valley binder, and Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Cameroon filler
blend this brand is complex and very well balanced. Choosing Cameroon
tobacco for the filler makes for a unique and tasty blend with
outstanding spicy-sweetness. The process of including Cameroon inside
the cigar (instead in the outside wrapper) is rare and adds to the
distinctive aroma of the Salutem cigar. The wrapper is an awesome Habano
leaf grown in Ecuador, soaking with rich tobacco aromatic oils that
ensure even, study, burn and add plenty of nutty flavors to the Salutem
cigar. There is a very unique taste to these cigars. I enjoy them.
La Flor Dominicana Limitado V Cigars
The newly released LFD Limitado V cigars will be La Flor Domincana's fifth installment in the Limitado cigar series, which is released every two years. This new LFD Limitado V has
a awesome powerful blend with fillers coming from Nicaragua and the
Dominican Republic which is wrapped by a seamless Ecuadorian Sumatra
ligero wrapper. These La Flor Dominicana Limitado V will be very scarce and La Flor Domincana only produced 2000 boxes in the States
