			La Aurora Cien Años Belicoso Once again we find a Dominican puro at the top of the list. Nearly a century ago, Don Eduardo Leon Jimenes found an ideal combination of climate and soil to grow his Cuban-seed tobacco, in the Santiago de Los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. The wrapper is select Dominican-grown Corojo. Strong flavors of wood and spice prevail throughout, with a long finish. But this is just the beginning. There are nutty, Kona coffee flavors with touches of leather on the palate. Buttery yet tangy, with hints of caramel. Did we mention rich and complex? One of the oldest and most loved brands, the public appreciation of this fine cigar has been nothing short of immense. As you might have guessed, the Aurora 100 Años is a limited production with limited availability. Definitely worth the search.
		Davidoff Millennium Robusto As one of the finest cigars, the Millennium pays tribute to a man synonymous with the fine cigars. Zino Davidoff, the son of a Geneva tobacconist, was born in Kiev, Russia in 1906. Zino became the first person to privately produce cigars for export that were sanctioned by the Cuban government. A good reason to commemorate the man, so this cigar is really done right. Rich, strong and extremely complex, with flavors that will swirl through your soul. As the most limited and powerful of the whole Davidoff line, this cigar honors its rich heritage with a flawless design, ultra high-quality, exhibiting the ultimate in good taste.
			Fuente Fuente OpusX Double Corona They said it could not be done, but Arturo Fuente proved everyone wrong. With Cuban seed silken Rosado wrapper grown under shade on the Fuente farms in the Dominican Republic, and rolled with impeccable craftsmanship. A wonderful puro, meaning all ingredients are indigenous to one country, and many believe the best of the best. Medium-full bodied but never overpowering, this cigar is close to perfection. Take note of the complex flavors of wood, black cherry and leather, with coffee bean on the finish. A rare treat that is very hard to find. If they do have this one in stock, most retailers will limit purchases and charge plenty. But don't let that stop you, for this jewel is lustrous. If you're willing to wait, this cigar should also improve with age quite nicely. Enjoy!
		La Flor Dominicana Chisel Filler: Dominican Republic Wrapper: Ecuador Sumatran Litto Gomez made only mild cigars for a time. Now he creates a knockout punch with some of the most powerful cigars in all the land. Full-bodied to say the least, this cigar is brawny. Not to be smoked without first taking a seat or after a satisfying meal, this one is for the professional. La Flor Dominicana is produced under the supervision and guidance of Litto, a great cigar maker. The shape is incredible and fits quite comfortably to the mouth, providing for a unique experience not found with other cigars. Its strength is all cranked up due to the double ligero, or the top leaves which receive the most sun. This creates a richer flavor as the leaf takes on oil and spice not found in paler smokes. Enjoy the toasty flavor accompanied with licorice and earth. What a treat!
			Oliva Serie O Perfecto The Oliva Serie O is a selection of cigars that commemorate one of the most famous tobacco families in the cigar industry. The secret behind this cigar is the proud heritage and the prominence of the Oliva family, whose contribution to the cigar world is immeasurable. It is well known that the Oliva’s have the best wrapper leaf available. Made of all Cuban seed Habano fillers and finished with a silky Sun Grown Habano wrapper, this is a true Nicaraguan puro. And it tastes as good as it looks. An excellent pedigree, this cigar can be enjoyed by the novice and veteran smoker alike.
		Diamond Crown Maximus Toro Stanford Newman approached Carlos Fuente with a new idea for his treasured Diamond Crown line, to create a full-bodied version. The Maximus derives its mystique from the El Bajo sun grown wrapper harvested on the Oliva family's Ecuador plantation. Not to be confused with a Maduro, it is made from the richest, heartiest tobacco cut from the top priming of the plant. The flavor lingers somewhere between a cappuccino and a double espresso — neither delicate nor intense. Very rare and befitting the Crown name, even the band speaks loudly to what pleasurable offerings the tobaccos will deliver. This cigar hits the mark and is a true treasure in any aficionado’s humidor.
			Fonseca MATASA 30th Anniversary Toro The Fonseca brand began in Havana, Cuba, way back in 1891. In 1974, the MATASA Cigar Factory opened in the Dominican Republic, and started rolling the Fonseca brand to satisfy the U.S. market. Made famous by Manuel Quesada, this cigar was introduced to commemorate that auspicious occasion. MATASA produces the 30th Anniversary in only two shapes, the Perfecto and the Toro. Of particular note are the deliberately selected leaves grown on a small micro farm in the Cibao valley, with a wrapper made from the topmost leaf, Olor Dominicano. These fine tobaccos endow this intense cigar with a diverse, yet specific flavor of chocolate pudding. Delicious.
		Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Madrid Filler: Honduras / Dominican Republic / Nicaragua Wrapper: Connecticut Shade-Grown Although this is an inexpensive smoke, the hearty Sancho Panza certainly deserves a mention. The cigar boasts extra maduro and natural wrappers, successfully combined with a blend which is next on the food chain. Quite enjoyable and flavorful, easily an everyday favorite of true aficionados. Offering quality and value, an affordable indulgence for the seasoned set to be enjoyed after a good meal or when seeking full flavor. Once, and still a remarkable name in Cuban cigars, currently from the farms of Honduras, this terrific cigar provides a top-rate smoke for those in the know.
			Perdomo Edición de Silvio Edición de Silvio was created by Nick Perdomo, Jr. as a living tribute to honor his late grandfather, Silvio Perdomo. The origins of this tobacco is a closely held secret, known only to the Oliva family. Created as a premium of premiums, it is much more than that. By tasting this gem, you can bear to light that the tobaccos were resting in 50-year-old spice-laden casks. Allow this cigar to captivate you . . and it will. Cherish the complex tastes and the effort that went into this special offering. The experience will make you feel fortunate as you savor all this cigar can offer. The spicy, nutty undertones are delicious. Rich and creamy, you will smoke this Perdomo to the last bit of nub. The Edición de Silvio is the best of a great cigar-making company with a long tradition of excellence.
		Avo XO Trio Intermezzo Filler: Dominican Republic Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf The Avo cigar is a dream brought to life by Avo Uvezian, its statesman and founder. At 71 years of age, in what must seem like another lifetime, he found himself playing piano in Palmas del Mar, selling cigars on the piano top. The year was 1987. Now drawing from his musical background, the Intermezzo is a symphony for the palate. Avo created the XO blend of specially fermented Piloto Cubano expertly matched with Olor tobacco. A magnificently shaped robusto cigar, with its length and ring gauge in perfect harmony. Slightly spicy, well balanced and delicious. Medium bodied, the Connecticut shade lends a creaminess to luxuriate in. This is a superb smoke, truly a cigar worthy of high praise.
