The Dynamic Dozen

Saturday, December 11, 2010 by Trevor Billingsley
If you've been following this blog for any length of time, you've probably noticed that I'm a sucker for good cigar samplers. I love getting a few examples of a variety of premium cigars, rather than investing in a single box from a single manufacturer. It gives me more options to choose from in my humidor, and there's nothing I like more than a well-stocked variety of smokes.

Here's one that I somehow missed until I saw it in the "Hot Buys" section -- the 12 Cigar Selection Sampler. It's one of those things that seems like it was made for me, with some of the best Dominican cigars available in three legendary brand names.

Each of these boxes comes with four H Upmann cigars, four Montecristo cigars, and four Romeo y Julieta cigars. All three were originally made famous in Cuba (and still compete there with different cigars sold under the same name in Havana), but since having left the island have maintained their fierce reputation for superior cigars.

When I got my first one of these, they didn't last very long in the cigar humidor. Both individually and collectively, these are hard cigars to resist.

I enjoy them with a cup of coffee or just relaxing. Great when you don’t have a lot of time and are looking for a perfect little smoke."

Don't Sleep on H Upmann Cigars

Thursday, October 7, 2010 by Trevor Billingsley
H Upmann Cigars are some of the most legendary smokes on the market, and it's hard to find anything better in a Cameroon wrapper than the ones you can buy right here. And yet, it's one of those brands that is sometimes forgotten when thinking of quality cigars.

This brand is associated with two different cigars. The first is produced by Habanos SA and is only available in Cuba, and legend has it that President John F. Kennedy made sure he had an ample stash of those on hand before he placed the embargo on the island that prohibited cigar imports. Because of that, the one most of us are more familiar with is made in the Dominican Republic and is one of the finest Dominican cigars available.

Just break out your cigar cutter and light up, and it's hard not to be impressed. These cigars are flavorful without being overpowering, a smooth and sophisticated stick that can make even the most sour personality smile. Each is hand-wrapped, made from the finest tobacco and assembled with the care you'd expect from one of the preeminent cigar makers in the industry. It's a brand that will impress anyone with even a moderate knowledge of cigar history, and the taste suits anyone from the beginning smoker to someone with a more developed palate. Try it and see -- with Thompson Cigar's money-back guarantee, this is as sure a bet as it gets.




Great value on these Dominican cigars

A great line of Dominican cigars just became a better value.

Cameroon is the rarest of rare in wrapper tobacco. The small quantities of this leaf coming from a tiny African country make it the most sought-after in the world. The Cameroon is the perfect complement to H Upmann Cigars' inspired blend of Dominican Piloto, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian long fillers.

Let me provide for you a description of this rarest selection of Maduro. Utilizing a Connecticut Broadleaf that is hart to find and hard to handle without injuring the leaf, yields the sweetest, most delicious Maduro smoke imaginable. To meet the expectation, the long filler blend must be a taste match and of equally great quality. Suffice it to say, the H Upmann Maduro only adds to an already stellar reputation that is H Upmann Cigars.

Each of these cigars is gracefully wrapped in cedar, so that it is aged to perfection. Take a puff of this cigar and you may find it hard to believe it's not its Cuban cousin.

This is a Thompson Cigar Exclusive. You won't find it anywhere else.

This line of Dominican cigars come in 4 delectable sizes:

A few good ones from H Upmann

It's been stated by many an aficionado that Dominican Cigars are some of the best in the world, yes even considering Cuban cigars. The H Upmann is one of the leading producers in Dominican Cigars. The H Upmann brand has always sought after the highest quality tobacco available. This brand always produces some of the most coveted cigars in the business. 

  • The H Upmann Vintage Cameroon is one of their best products. This cigar is one of the most sought after on the market today. The boys at H. Upmann utilize a Cameroon wrapper which beautifully complements Upmann's use of Dominican Piloto, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian Long fillers with fantastic results. 
  • The Maduro Aged Reserve Series is an awesome choice for anyone who frequents the Maduro wrapper. This cigar is medium to full-bodied and has faint hints of cedar. This series is perfect with a glass of whiskey or even a nice rum. 
  • Exclusively available at Thompson Cigar, The Cedar Aged Series (pictured on left) is a well rounded cigar. This cigar has been aged for an explicit amount of time while wrapped for the perfect, wonderful smelling and tasting smoke. The men at H Upmann go the extra mile to ensure their product's quality by wrapping each cigar in cedar before its sent out to the market. This ensures that the slow-aging process continues all the way until you light up.
