Murcielago Belicoso  (5.5 x 52)
Strength: Medium/Full                  Origin:  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.
