Strength:
Medium/Full

Nicaragua
Wrapper:
San Andres Mexico
Filler:
Nicaraguan
Binder:
San Andres Mexico
Murcielago Cigars; Another great smoke from the guys at E.O. Brands, creators of stellar brands like 601, Cubao & Mi Barrio comes this new rich cigar with loads of maduro flavor. Made with a dark rich maduro wrapper grown in the fertile volcanic soil of the San Andres Valley in Mexico with a binder grown in the same region. Both blended with rich Nicaraguan filler, the cigar is rich in maduro flavor with hints of spice that the Nicaraguan filler brings out. Medium to full-bodied and great construction this cigar is sure to please.
La Traviata Divino (5.0 X 50)
Strength: Full
Origin:
Nicaragua
Wrapper:
Ecuadorian Habano
Filler:
Nicaraguan/Dominican
Binder:
Cameroon
The CAO La Traviata Divino Cigars were created by CAO in order to present a cuban-like cigar to the masses. The owner of CAO smoked several brands of cuban cigars in order to reproduce something similar. These cigars are best described as having peppery and leathery notes and become more rich as the cigar burns. The CAO La Traviata Divino has a creamy and smooth finish.
CAO did everything in its power to produce a cigar as close to the cubans produced today. From the shiny Ecuadorian Habano wrapper & Cameroon Binder to the nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos this cigar is fantastic.
Rocky Patel Patel Brothers Torpedo
(6 1/4 x 52)
Strength:
Full
Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Pennsylvania
Broadleaf
Filler:
Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
For the first time in his company's history, Rocky Patel
has collaborated with his brother Nish to create a full-bodied
powerhouse cigar blend. The duo worked for years to find a robust
and unique wrapper to accompany a special Nicaraguan filler
and binder blend. A breakthrough came in the form of a beautifully
dark and oily broadleaf wrapper selected from the tobacco fields
of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. For each of their efforts,
they decided to call the rich and bold cigar PATEL BROTHERS.
The predominant flavors present are sweet notes and a hint of
spice. Some compare this cigar to the Rocky Patel Winter line.
Liga Privada T52 Robusto
(5 x 52)
Strength:
Full
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.
