El Triunfador is the newest cigar from Pete Johnson, owner of the extremely successful Tatuaje brand. El Triunfador features Nicaraguan binder and filler and a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The wrappers are naturally dark. The flavor and body profile of El Triunfador is similar to Pete's Cabaiguan Maduro blend. Three sizes are currently available.

The Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo is a full bodied 75% ligero creation with an oily, silky wrapper that exudes aroma and flavor. Expect sophisticated notes of leather, spice and bittersweet chocolate with a long, creamy finish.

Viaje means 'journey' in Spanish and these cigars are sure to take you on one. Newly introduced in 2010, the Reserva line is rolled only twice a year as a limited production. Using aged ligero from Esteli and tobaccos aged much longer than their production counterparts, these cigars are even stronger and richer in flavor, and crisply box pressed. We currently have the Oro and Platino Reserva.

Inspired by the action heroes in Kung Fu movies, the latest creation released by Litto Gomez of La Flor Dominicana is the much-anticipated Air Bender. Made from a blend of Gomez's homegrown Dominican filler and binder with selected piloto Cubano, Sumatra seed and corojo, wrapped in the finest Ecuador Habano seed grown leaf, this is a powerful superhero of a cigar. In stock now.

Don't miss out on the incredible Tatuaje Black Label cigars - reserve yours today. Arguably the most sought after cigar of the year, the Tatuaje Black was originally made as Pete Johnson’s private cigar, and could only be gotten from the master blender himself. Now available to collectors in this limited release edition, this cigar is a subtle and complex powerhouse of flavors with a luscious peppery finish.

"Verocu" is a Cuban slang term loosly meaning "ballsy", and the new Tatuaje Red Label definitely delivers on full, bold flavor. About the Verocu, Pete says "This blend will have a Cafe Rosado Oscuro wrapper (as opposed to the Cafe Rosado in the Havana VI classic line) and we are adding Ligero tobacco to the blend to give the cigar a more robust taste. Basically, it’s a Havana VI on steroids".

Long awaited from Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, the E. P. Carillo Inaugural Cigars feature an exclusive Ecuadorian natural wrapper. A masterful blending of two to five year aged Nicaraguan and Dominican Pilato create the binder and filler, giving the taste of real quality to this delicious medium bodied cigar. The wrapper is a rare Ecuadorian tobacco, an exclusive to Carillo. The famed maker of La Gloria Cubana, along with his daughter Lissete and his son Ernie, is launching his new cigar line with this very limited production. This cigar is sure to become a collector's item, so reserve yours today.

 

Still more recent cigar release news:

New from Liga Privada and the blending talents of Drew Estate, the Liga Privada T52. Oliva Cigars has released the Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial. Don't miss Don Pepin's latest "Jewel". The My Father Le Bijou 1922 is a new extension to the popular My Father line. Last but definitely not least, the long-awaited Padron Family Reserve 45th Anniversary 1964 is now available.

Liga Privada #9 T52 Robusto (5 x 52)
Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Habano
Filler: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
The T52 remains a departure from Drew Estate’s flavored cigars and is the second cigar created by Steve Saka (Drew Estate's President) for his own personal enjoyment, but released to the market due to its phenominal characteristics. The blend consists of full-flavored, premium Nicaraguan tobaccos just as the No. 9 but comes cloaked in a beautiful, toothy and oily Habano wrapper. The combination brings a rich, unique complexity to the palate with more spicy characteristics and a stronger robust finish. Almost no sweet nuances are noticable as the blend builds from the start and perfectly compliments a hearty meal. If you’re a fan of Drew Estate but prefer a full-bodied and semi-spicy traditional blend, then Liga Privada T52 is for you.

Oliva Serie V Maduro 2009
6 X 56 torpedo
Oliva Cigars has released the Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial, a Nicaraguan filler and binder finished with a Connecticut-broadleaf wrapper. Oliva has produced exactly what people were crying out for when they asked for a Serie V Maduro. Oliva vice president Jose Oliva called the cigar “the maduro interpretation” of the original Oliva Serie V. He also said it was considerably stronger than the original. Unlike the original Serie V, which is a regular-production smoke from Oliva, the company made only 50,000 Serie V Maduro's, with just 250 retailers slated to receive the cigars. The Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial cigar is only available in the torpedo size.

My Father Le Bijou 1922
Don Pepin’s "Jewel". My Father Le Bijou 1922 is a new extension to the popular My Father line. Whereas the original installment was produced as a tribute to Don Pepin and blended by his son Jaime, Le Bijou pays homage to Don Pepin’s father. French for "the Jewel", Le Bijou is a rich, full-bodied treat in typical Pepin form. Featuring an Ecuadorian-grown Habano Oscuro wrapper and a healthy mix of Nicaraguan long-fillers, Le Bijou 1922 exudes a robust array of flavors delivered in a remarkably smooth fashion. Complex, unique and satisfying - the Garcia Family’s new star!

Room 101
The Room 101 cigar collection is a blend of attitude, culture, celebrity, and some of the world’s finest tobaccos. Specially blended and created by Camacho, Room 101 is a medium bodied cigar comprised of tobaccos from both Honduras and the Dominican Republic. The wrapper is a Semilla 101 that was exclusively grown for this cigar. The Room 101 cigar is available in six formats, all representing different area codes, including the 213 (44×5.5), 305 (50×5), 323 (50×6), 404 (54×52x6), 702 (48×54x48×6), and 808(60×6).

Padron 1926 45th Anniversary - Cigar of the Year for Cigar Aficionado 2009
Size: 6 x 52 (Toro)
Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Some may argue that the Padron 1926 45th Anniversary in either wrapper is the finest cigar that Padron makes. Others will argue the 80th Anniversary. The Padron Reserva de Familia 45th Anniversary toro Maduro is made with the same quality of tobacco as its perfecto brother. All the tobacco in the construction of this cigar is five years old. At 6 1/2 inches long and 52 ring gauge the Padron 45th Anniversary is perfectly constructed by the best rollers in the Villazon factory. Some of the flavors of this cigar are spice, charred earth, wood, leather, and cocoa. This cigar has a dry smoke and a creamy finish that will leave you chewing hours later.
