Describe Yourself: Cigar Aficionado

In seeking to appeal to the more sophisticated tastes of the true cigar connoisseur, La Gloria Cubana is migrating away from the milder, more popular blends in favor of rich, heavy-bodied Cuban-type blends like those from which it takes its name. With the Serie “R” line, La Gloria introduces cigars that are larger and fuller than usual. Their 52 and 54 ring gauge sizes suggest the increased flavor they carry. The stronger blend of Nicaraguan Ligero and Dominican Olor complement the larger sizes and mark a return to the full-bodied smokes long favored in the Latin tradition. But don’t let the strength of the cigar mislead you into thinking that it lacks subtlety. The Ecuador-Sumatra wrapper delivers the spicy, earthy overtones and nuances that can only be found in cigars that do not stint in the flavor department. That’s La Gloria Cubana; that’s a great Caribbean cigar experience.

Calum from Pgh, PA reviewed the ROUGHNECK TIPS 2-FER NATURAL CHEROOT RUM

Bottomline: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Describe Yourself: Special Occasion Smoker

No, Roughneck’s no beauty contest winner. In point of fact, it’s coyote ugly. But if every cloud has a silver lining, for Roughneck it’s the taste. It’s a bright, clean, sweet taste that never lets you down. Roughneck is manufactured by hand in the Cheroot size, one that has been around for ages. However, the thing that sets this cigar apart from the rest is the others are machine made. With its Nicaraguan and Honduran short fillers tucked into a Sumatra wrapper, Roughneck is definitely a cut above. The tip is even sweetened slightly to add an extra dimension of taste.

One of the barriers to premium cigars are their prices. Well, actually, when you buy smokes from Thompson Cigars that's not necessarily true. You can actually get great deals every day of the week if you check out the auction page, and browse the website for discounts. Since new sales happen all the time, it pays to look through the Thompson Cigars website once or even twice a day. That said, if you aren't lucky enough to get them for a big discount, high-rated cigars are going to cost more and are sometimes out of your weekly price range.

It's always worth it to save up for the high quality smokes but you can still enjoy great cigars for low prices when you buy packs of Thompson Black Label Corona Habanos. These smokes are for aficionados on a budget but don't sacrifice taste, nor quality. Mild to medium in strength, they make for perfect everyday smokes. Packed with a blend of high quality tobacco and rolled in a Habano wrapper, these discount smokes will surprise you with their easy draw and pleasant flavors. 

For one of the best deals around, buy a few packs of Thompson Black Label Corona Habanos from Thompson today.

There are rare cigars and then there are super rare cigars. And that is exactly what you get with the Padron Family Reserve 44th Aniversary. This was the very first of the Family Reserve line which was only used for special occasion affairs and never sold at retail. If you’re a collector of fine cigars than this is a must have. Each box is signed by the entire family. We only got a few so buy before they are gone.

No wonder Cusano 18 captures a 91 rating from Cigar Insider. After all, no one else in the industry is willing – or can afford – to age his filler tobaccos for eighteen years! This all-out devotion to eliminating any and all impurities in the fillers makes Cusano 18 a genuine joy to smoke. Producing flavors that are leathery and smoky with a touch of vanilla, this is as fine a smoke as you can get. Match the long fillers with equally fine Connecticut Valley Shade and it just doesn’t get any better.

Describe Yourself: Two a week smoker

Less than 5% of Padrón’s torcedores are deemed experienced enough to work on the company’s exclusive Anniversary Series, so less than 5% of the company’s already modest output is devoted to these cigars. With so few in production, the Anniversary Series is carefully allotted, and we have laboriously hoarded all we have been offered until we accumulated enough inventory to feature it in our catalog. Obviously, we cannot be sure when we will be able to repeat this offer. Due to the high demand and low production it’s unlikely these cigars can be found easily anywhere else, so we urge you to get them while you can
