Opus X Angel Share

When wine makers store their wine for long periods of time in oak barrels, some of it will evaporate from the barrel. They use the term Angel's Share alluding to the belief that the guardian angels watching over the wine have sampled it and gave their blessing. Following a warehouse fire destroying thousands of bales of tobacco, Fuente Jr. stated that the angels enjoyed the smoke and the concept was born. The OpusX Angel's Share utilizes the middle priming's of the tobacco plant where the heart and flavor is. A very elegant OpusX offering, Angel's Share exhibits a well-balanced flavor profile of cedar, nutmeg, and spice. It's like an Original Opus X with a little less bit. A great cigar for any pallet.  We stock them in the double Chateau size which is the largest of the Angel Share Vitolas.

The rarest and most sought after brands in the world, Fuente Fuente OpusX cigars are Dominican puros first introduced in the mid-1990s.

CLE Plus

After opening the new Aladino Factory, Christian Eiroa is back and the CLE Plus is his latest project. A follow-up to the 90-rated CLE Corojo, CLE Plus has been described as “the full-bodied Corojo cigar the market has been looking for.” With good looks to spare, CLE Plus has an impressive construction that’s sure to please. Eiroa truly loves creating full-bodied cigars, as evident here with this superbly blended Honduran puro. This enticing handmade includes prominent notes of flavor including oak, spice, molasses, and earth. CLE Plus gets it right, and it’s sure to satisfy fans of bold, full-bodied cigars everywhere.

Camacho Double Shock

Two wrappers are better than one.
Aficionados near and far are chomping at the bit to get their paws dirty with this blend. One of the most unique concoctions to come out in ages, this is a five country cocktail brimming with flavor. Instantly recognizable by its “dos capas,” or double wrapper, this puppy is as complex as they come. Hold onto your britches and get ready for the ride of your life with Double Shock Limited Edition by Camacho.
This is one medium to full-bodied, Honduran-made, diamond in the rough. Double Shock LE utilizes a barber pole wrapper style. The lighter of the two is a fan favorite Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, and a darker San Andres Maduro is twisted right beside it. To say this gem is aesthetically pleasing would be an understatement – this is a flat out visual triumph. A prized Criollo binder hugs long-fillers from Pennsylvania, the Dominican, and Honduras…If you’ve been counting, you’ll realize that’s five countries in one cigar. Notes of cocoa and coffee from the San Andres wrapper are accented by the sweet spiciness of the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, with slight nuances of earth, leather, and oak making appearances throughout as well. The only downside to this masterpiece is the limited quantities that come along with a blend as unparalleled as this one, so jump on this bandwagon the first chance you get!

Roma Craft Cigar company

 A small boutique cigar company Out of Texas. These are a brand you wont find At any cigar shop. Only three retailers stock them in the entire state of Michigan. The blends are really unique and I took a liking to them instantly.






The CroMagnon is a boutique blend from RoMa Craft Tobac utilizing some of the world’s most sought after tobaccos. This full-bodied blend is cloaked in a dark and rich Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper that encompasses a unique Cameroon binder. These tobaccos produce just the right amount of kick, which pairs well with the sweetness of the Broadleaf wrapper.

The excellence doesn’t stop there though: the fillers are made up from three separate growing regions in Nicaragua: Esteli, Condega and a small farm north of Esteli on the Honduran border. The use of these diverse tobaccos delivers the precise deep and rich tobacco flavor the guys at RoMa Craft wanted to present in the CroMagnon. This small boutique brand is truly worth trying out, an example that boutique cigar companies are very capable of producing world class smokes.

 The Intemperance line of cigars was launched by RoMa Craft Tobac in 2012.  RoMa Craft Tobac was launched as a collaboration between Michael Rosales and Skip Martin  This collaboration combined the operations of their two companies, Costa Rican Imports, LLC and Galveston Bay Tobacco, LLC.  The Intemperance line is made at RoMa Craft Tobac's own factory in Esteli Nicaragua called Fabrica de NicaSueno.  The Intemperance line was launched in two blends, and Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapped blend called the Intemperance EC XVIII and a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapped blend called the Intemperance BA XXI.

La Aroma De Cuba Noblesse

For the first time in the brand's history, the Ashton-owned La Aroma de Cuba now has a limited-edition cigar. Dubbed the Noblesse, the new release comes in one size and was created to commemorate the success of the La Aroma de Cuba line since its production was moved from Honduras to Nicaragua.
Made by My Father Cigars S.A., the Noblesse measures 6 1/2 inches by 52 ring and features an Ecuadoran Habano wrapper that Ashton categorizes as rosado. The rest of the cigar consists of Nicaraguan tobacco all grown on farms owned by the Garcia family, proprietors of the My Father Cigars factory.
"We wanted to do something special for the brand," said Ashton vice president Sathya Levin. "La Aroma de Cuba has been growing tremendously since we turned the operation over to the Garcias. We've never done a limited edition for La Aroma before.

If the name sounds familiar, it's because the Noblesse was originally supposed to be a cigar made exclusively for the Ashton Cigar Bar in Philadelphia last year. Plans changed, however, and the Noblesse never made it to the lounge.

"The packaging ended up being so stunning and the cigar so good that we knew we had to release it to the entire market," Levin said. "Rather than being a small-batch cigar available only at Ashton Cigar Bar, La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse is a limited edition being released to the world."
The Noblesse also marks the fifth iteration of the brand. When it debuted in 2003, La Aroma de Cuba was marketed as a premium value cigar and produced in Honduras by Altadis's Flor de Copan factory. Ashton temporarily stopped production of the line and subsequently turned it over to the Garcias in 2009. The cigar was reblended and the line was reintroduced, going from 10 sizes to five. La Aroma de Cuba remained a value brand, and as the cigar started to regain popularity, Ashton slowly added sizes, beefing up the portfolio, which is now up to 11 regular-production vitolas. Three line extensions now exist: La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial, Mi Amor and Mi Amor Reserva.
Only 3,000 boxes of 24 will be made. According to Levin, the entire production of the La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse is completed and aging in Nicaragua until the smokes are packaged and shipped in the fall, however, samples should be available at the upcoming IPCPR trade show.
