El Cobre

It is not uncommon for cigar makers to reserve select portions of their crop to roll specially blended cigars in limited quantities that are designated for family use only. Such was the case with the El Cobre blend, until now. Named after an old mining town in Cuba, the El Cobre embodies Cuba’s rich heritage in appearance as well as flavor. In fact, this cigar may very well require a warning label. It is one of the fullest bodied and fullest flavored cigars made in Central America. El Cobre’s dark and oily wrapper makes way for an exceptionally spicy cigar with a long, earthy, and robust finish. Don’t miss your chance to try this unique blend.

 

Mi Barrio

Strength: Full          Origin:  Nicaragua                   Wrapper:  Nicaraguan Habano
Filler:  Nicaraguan Esteli and Jalapa            Binder: Nicaraguan Corojo

Mi Barrio cigars are limited edition, seasonally released cigars presented in boxes featuring original artwork by Cuban artist, Edin Gutierrez. Created by Jose Pepin Garcia, a core of perfectly-aged Nicaraguan Esteli & Jalapa tobaccos are well-packed and deftly rolled in oily, triple-capped Nicaraguan Habano wrappers. The smoke is full-bodied with a leathery-nutty base enhanced by earthy-woody flavors and some sweetness on a clean, spicy finish. A masterpiece of a cigar not to be missed!

 

La Aroma De Cuba E.E. No. 1

La Aroma De Cuba E.e. cigars are a marvelous re-incarnation of the original 19th century Cuban cigar in a full-bodied Honduran blend. La Aroma De Cuba E.e. is distinguished by a dark, oily, Cuban-seed Honduran wrapper that surrounds a full-flavored blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. Adorned with colorful ornate bands that look and 'feel' like you're smoking a pre-Castro Havana, La Aroma De Cuba E.e. is blended for seasoned cigar smokers who want rich taste, high quality and affordability.

 

Oliva Cain Cigars are a powerhouse blending triple fermented all ligero cigar. Sam Leccia, known for his famous Nub cigars, created this straight ligero with the goal of creating a full bodied smoke that is smooth from all ligero. These Cain cigars have a variety of ligero tobaccos from different regions of well known tobacco farms in Condega, Esteli plus the Jalapa Valley in Nicaragua. The Oliva Cain line of cigars is available in Double Toro, Toro, Robusto, and Torpedo sizes. Cain cigars come in two wrappers. Maduro and Habano. Cain Maduro cigars have been tasted and reviewed and the overwhelming consensus about the cigars is that they are very full bodied yet smooth. The Cain Habano cigars are slightly milder than the Maduro with a distinctive flavorful medium to full bodied smoke. Not for the faint of heart, the new Cain Cigars are stunning powerhouse smokes.
