Oliva Serie O Habano Perfecto (5 x 55)

Serie O is a Nicaraguan Puro, made in the original Cuban tradition of growing the same Habano seed in diverse regions of the country to produce a distinct blend. This blend was achieved by growing Habano in Esteli, Condega and Jalapa Valley. Expect notes of dark tobacco with spice and rich cedar.

 

Avo Companero Limited Edition (6 X 54)

Strength: Full                    Origin:  Dominican Republic                   Wrapper:  Natural
Filler:  Dominican Ligero, Peruvian leaf                                                Binder: Nicaragua

Blended by Avo's long-time compañero, Hendrik Kelner, Compañero is a full-bodied symphony for the senses. Diverse Dominican Ligero tobaccos, plus a Peruvian leaf, Dominican binder, and a tawny Ecuadorian Cuban-seed wrapper offer a creamy, robust and spicy masterpiece. One of his best limited edition cigars.

 

Chateau Real Lord Tennyson (7 x 50)

Chateau Real Lord Tennyson 5pk Natural cigars were created for cigar smokers who want a refined premium cigar reminiscent of the pre-embargo, Clear Havana blends. Each Chateau Real Lord Tennyson is handmade with a well-packed blend of Nicaraguan Criollo & Dominican Piloto Cubano long-filler tobaccos, Brazilian binder, and golden, mellow Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade or Mexican San Andreas Oscuro (Maduro) wrappers. The smoke is creamy, toasty and well-balanced with an appealing sweetness throughout.

Impressively dark, oily and flavorful, this is a full flavored smoke with hints of coffee and a creamy, nutty finish. This is a highly rated and coveted cigar, with its immediate predecessor the Casa Magna Robusto reaching a coveted #1 rating in Cigar Aficionado's Top Ten Cigars of 2008. This new blend for 2010 features a rich Oscuro wrapper and should become an instant classic.
