Cigar of the Month Club
July 2012

The Avo Classic #9 was originally created by Zino Davidoff for internationally-acclaimed pianist Avo Uvezian to keep by his piano for inspiration. A medley of five diverse Dominican tobaccos grown in the rich Cibao Valley surrounded by silky blonde U.S. Connecticut wrappers offer you a mild, creamy smoke with an extraordinary balance of flavors that roll off the palate like one of Avo's intricate piano solos.

Named for the Cuban home town of Maestro Tobaquero Don "Pepin" Garcia, Cabaiguan Cigars was next big hit made for Pete Johnson, creator of the acclaimed Tatuaje Cigars. The milder of Pepin’s Nicaraguan creations, Cabaiguan still offers the body and complexity of his bolder blends. Don't let it’s Connecticut Shade Ecuadorian wrapper fool you.

Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial cigars offer indisputable evidence that their namesake has come into his own. Shimmering Connecticut Broadleaf wrappers adorn a hearty blend of Nicaraguan longfillers and binders. The cigar's opening spice notes are quickly overtaken by a deep, earthy flavor profile. Cocoa and Maduro sweetness interplay with the spice for an interesting, intensely full flavor.

La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet cigars consist of a Dominican and Nicaraguan filler, held together by a Dominican binder, and finished in a genuine Cameroon wrapper. Medium to full-bodied in strength, the cigars boast excellent construction, burning properties, and complex flavor throughout. The Cabinet designation denotes the fact that they're unbanded, presented in boxes of 50. Only 500,000 will be made.
