And it tastes as good as it looks. An excellent pedigree, this cigar can be enjoyed by the novice and veteran smoker alike.

Padilla
Miami 8/11
Robusto
Grande

Padilla is a captivating tale of migration from the Canary Islands to the Cuban shores. Today, Ernesto and Carlos Padilla captain the Padilla name like a ship headed for continued success, showing every sign of longevity. Full-bodied with one of the loveliest oiled wrappers imaginable, this is a shiny, inviting smoke. As Ernesto says, "The Miami blend, is made by a friend of ours, who we've known since he came to the States, and I heard of even before he came here-- Pepin Garcia." The blend is assisted by Pepin, but like all the other cigars in the Padilla line, the results are magnificent, with the Miami blend rated slightly higher.

Serie 1926 40th Anniversary
Wrapper/Filler: Nicaragua

The Padron family offers this magical cigar in honor of its 40th anniversary, and might possibly be the best cigar ever created. It's that good! The only downside to this offering is the difficulty in finding one. You can't help but notice the impeccable construction. The quality workmanship provides dignity with almost flawless features. The natural Nicaraguan wrapper feels like the finest of silk to the touch. After lighting, the first 1/3 of the cigar imparts a nut-like flavor with chocolaty undertones. As the ash grows and clings on to the end, so does the complexity and enjoyment of this Padron. Luxurious for sure, and one of the best cigars you will ever smoke.

Partagas
Serie P #2
Belicoso

Celebrating the brand's 160th year, this Cuban only just arrived in 2005. The same size as the Montecristo #2, but different in flavor and in its heritage. Subtly spicy, this cigar embodies the classic Partagas character all the way. The wrapper is oily and brown with a musky scent that greets the lucky smoker. The cigar looks creamy and tastes that way upon lighting, with the famous hint of Partagas spice. It is a known fact that some cigars improve measurably with age. This is one cigar that will age and refine the longer it rests in your humidor. Some say this is the best cigar coming out of Cuba at present. Absolutely deserving to be among the fifty best.

Paul Garmirian
Gourmet
15th Anniversary Series

Produced in collaboration with one of the best cigar makers in the Dominican Republic. This cigar has reviewers raving, rivaling such heralded names as Monte #2 and Opus X, among others.

An intriguing smoke, offering a fullness, yet, at the same time, rich and smooth. Five years of aging allows for this smoothness to develop. Taste cedar and hints of cinnamon, with the appearance of cocoa as the cigar reaches an end. The very fine construction and craftsmanship make this cigar a true masterpiece.

Perdomo ESV 91
Estate Selección Vintage (ESV) 1991
Prestigio

Prepare yourself for a smoke of monumental character and proportion. The construction is truly stunning. This luscious Maduro is oily to the eye, coated with a sheen that glistens. Earthy and robust, the sun-grown wrapper releases its full flavor enriched from the soil, plus 200 days of cedar aging. When smoked from start to finish, notice the various flavor profiles building in intensity, but always remaining silky on the palate. Coffee, cocoa, and spice mix and swirl in the mouth, as the superior complexity is fully achieved. Sweetness of flavor is apparent in the last third, along with peppery notes of pure joy. Hard to find, since quantities are limited, but it's well worth the effort. In fact, pick up a few. This is one cigar experience that should not be missed.

Pryme
Limited Edition Gold

Alan Rubin, president of Alec Bradley is swinging for the fence, and hits it out of the park with this offering. The Pryme name comes from the corona or flowering top of the plant used for this cigar's wrapper. The wrapper is oily and very shiny because of its duty to protect the plant from the sun. Also called ligero, it is better known for power boosting characteristics from filler and not as wrapper. Well conceived by balancing the ligero's full aromatic flavor with a rich-tasting Mexican binder and four-nation filler blend from Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. This cigar is lustrous in a beautiful, glistening glow of appeal. Costly to produce, there is less than 10% yield from an entire year’s crop worthy of this medium to full-bodied cigar. With only 1,500 boxes produced, the Limited Edition Gold Series is a complex and rare find, arriving in humidors made from Nogal wood, indigenous to Central America. It is actually very easy to speak of this cigar in loving terms, as one dares to bring fire to the foot and begin smoking.
