Camacho Connecticut Smoking a cigar that successfully finds the balance between boldness and distinct flavor is hard to come by. The Camacho Connecticut Series combines both of these traits well, giving the cigar aficionado a mild, smooth smoke, but one that packs a spicy kick to it. Loaded with rich flavors from Generoso and Aléman Ligero tobaccos, bound by the legendary strength of their Original Corojo, and wrapped in a high-grade Connecticut leaf grown in Ecuador, this is one cigar with an intense flavor that backs down to no one.

Montecristo Espada Unlike most non-Cuban Montecristos, the Espada by Montecristo brand is made in Nicaragua at Plasencia Cigars and is a collaboration between Plasencia and the Altadis blending team, known as the Grupo de Maestros. They’re made entirely from Nicaraguan tobacco and come packaged in striking suede boxes of 10. Montecristo has been one of the leaders in premium cigar brands globally and they continue to push the envelope with exquisite cigars by releasing the Espada by Montecristo. This marks the very first time that Montecristo releases a cigar that has 100% Nicaraguan leaf which is a significant moment for the legendary Montecristo brand.

Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua cigars are a groundbreaking project from Altadis U.S.A! If you’re a fan of Connecticut-shade wrappers, you’re probably used to seeing them come from either the Connecticut River Valley or grown under the natural cloud-cover of Ecuador. Now, compliments of master-blender, Rafael Nodal and Nestor Plasencia, you have the rare opportunity to try a cigar wrapped in the first Nicaraguan-grown Connecticut seed tobacco. Ever.

La Gloria Cubana La Gloria started as a little store-front factory in South 8th St. downtown Miami. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, Cuban Senator and tobacco grower, fled Cuba in 1959, taking with him the secret of La Gloria Cubana cigars. He began making them in the heart of Little Havana in 1968, where their bold taste made them a local favorite. In 1980, Ernesto Jr. blended a unique combination of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos to make La Gloria Cubana even more full-flavored, full-bodied, and with richer tastes.

La Aurora 1987 Connecticut La Aurora is celebrating a lot of firsts in their “Time Capsule” series of cigars, and the La Aurora 1987 was produced to celebrate the first time the brand ever used a Connecticut shade wrapper, back in, you guessed it, 1987. Mellow and sweet by nature, Connecticut tobacco leafs flourish in the shade and have been a popular choice for cigar wrappers since the 1900’s! Originally grown in the Windsor and Housatonic Valley of Connecticut, the wrapper is the result of a Habano seed that acclimated to the unique soil and climate found in Connecticut.
