San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol marks the highly anticipated follow-up to the 93-rated San Cristobal line. Produced in Nicaragua by Don Pepin Garcia, Seleccion Del Sol employs a dark, toothy Sun Grown wrapper that is grown on Pepin’s Esteli, Nicaragua farm. Inside is a robust Nicaraguan filler blend that’s just brimming with flavor. Expect a flood of rich, dense flavors including notes of earth, spice, leather and wood. A smooth, medium to full-bodied treat from Pepin.

My Father El Picador was made by Don Pepin exclusively for Empire Cigars. This is an elegant and powerful blend of pure Dominican tobaccos enhanced by rich, flavorful ligero. A delicious pre-light aroma of buckwheat honey and bitter chocolate gives way to deep, full flavor without being overwhelmingly strong. This is a cigar you'll want to return to again and again.

Jaime Garcia: Blended by Jaime Garcia, Don Pepin's son, these dark powerhouses offer intense notes of bitter chocolate, pepper, leather and spice. Wrapped in naturally dark Connecticut broadleaf, the binder is Ecuadorian and the filler from Nicaragua. Medium to full bodied, with deep, rich flavors.

La Reloba: A new blend from Don Pepin and My Father Cigars, available in a Habano and Sumatra wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler. This is a pleasantly complex medium bodied cigar in the My Father tradition, with hints of nuts and caramel enhanced by a touch of peppery spice, and an affordable everyday smoke for Pepin fans.

KA Kendall's 7-20-4: Once upon a time, R. G. Sullivan was the largest seller of 10-cent cigars in the United States, producing at least 54 million annually. The 7-20-4 is a tribute to the older style of cigars made in the late 1800's and early 1900's, and the number is a reference to the original factory founded in 1875 in New Hampshire. With a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper and Columbian binder, this is the original "good old cigar" that caused Mark Twain to pledge, "If there are no cigars in Heaven, I shall not go." Expect rich and complex notes of creamy cedar, honey, dark chocolate and pepper, and a full-bodied, mouth-filling finish that is sure to satisfy the most discriminating of connoisseurs.

Illusione Nosotros: The Illusione Nosotros Cigars are the result of a collaborative effort by Drew Estates and Illusione. These cigars feature a combination of fine Nicaraguan tobaccos which offer subtle but complex flavors and an elegant structure without being overpowering on the nose. As these cigars are smoked, the complex flavors increase while building up to a long and flavorful finish.

Cain Serie F: The Cain F Series uses a combination of ligero tobaccos that come from the fields of Condega, Esteli and the Jalapa Valley in Nicaragua. It boasts a blend of triple fermented tobaccos used to create an all ligero cigar. This Triple fermentation process allows a strong, full, very smooth smoke with an aggressively tasty spice. It contains a subtle sweetness throughout, but is a predominately peppery cigar.

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, and the new TNT line is in.

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, with two new sizes available, a lancero and a lonsdale.

Don't miss out on the incredible Tatuaje Black Label cigars - we have only a few left. 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.

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.

Also in stock: Illusione's Epernay Le Matin, a beautiful box pressed cigar with only 200 boxes made, the La Aurora 107, Casa Fernandez and JFR.

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.
