Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Esteli has become the modern Mecca of cigars, with the rising popularity of Nicaraguan tobaccos driving an increasing number of tobacconists to visit the region for its nutrient-rich volcanic soil. While it may share a name and inspiration with the original Black Market cigar line, the Black Market Esteli offers an experience that is very different than the original, with more power and richer flavors that its predecessor.
Aging Room Maduro The Aging Room Maduro is blended with all Dominican grown Habano tobacco for filler and binder with some of the tobacco going up to 8 years in age when used in these amazing sticks. They then adorn the sticks with a beautiful Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper that has been aged for over 5 years; using a unique proprietary curing and aging process that has helped to make Aging Room one of the highest rated cigar.
Camacho Broadleaf This time, the focus is its leathery, oily, massive Honduran Broadleaf wrapper. Creating a meaty and rewarding profile. Complimenting it is a brilliant array of Dominican and Honduran tobacco for its long filler, and smoothed out with a polished Honduran binder. The end result is a complex and extraordinary flavor profile that burst onto the plate form the first draw. Sparking it releases the intense tastes of dark chocolate, espresso, a creamy natural sweetness, earthy spices, leather, and the aroma of oak. The Camacho Broadleaf more than lives up to the brand's reputation.
Oliva Serie V Every single Serie V cigar is built from a magnificent crop of aged Nicaraguan Ligero from the Jalapa Valley and rolled gracefully into an illustrious Ecuadorian Habano Sun Grown wrapper.

The finish is long and rich. Tasty and complex."
