Gispert The tasty Gispert will delight even the seasoned and demanding cigar connoisseur. Once a vintage Cuban brand, it is hand made today by Altadis in Honduras. Gispert cigars are crafted with a unique blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan grown long filler tobaccos, a Honduran binder and a rich golden Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper for the Natural cigars, and a specially grown San Andres Morron dark shade for the Maduro. It is a medium bodied cigar with sweet notes of cocoa and spiced wood, slow burn and long finish.
Excalibur The Excalibur combines power and smoothness in a very unordinary way. I’ve never smoked a cigar so tasteful, yet so mellow, and Mike considers it the best Honduran cigar in the market. Full of tastes of slightly burnt macadamia nuts with creamy notes of milk chocolate, it is absolutely a delicious smoke.
Punch Punch lives up to its name with a bold, full-bodied taste that appeals to men who follow their own instincts as opposed to following the crowd. The wrapper is a full-flavored leaf grown in Ecuador and the filler is a rich blend of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos. Not a conventional cigar, and probably not the first cigar for a new smoker to try, Punch is the straightforward, no-nonsense cigar it would have taken to bring a smile to the otherwise curmudgeonly face of Mr. Punch himself.
Don Diego It’s solid and silky, the Don Diego is creamy with buttery flavors of chocolate vanilla. Don Diego, with its Altadis master blender Sr. Seijas, worked out a medium blended cigar with sweet notes of spice and lavender. The Sumatra seed filler combo with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper offer soft smoke and smooth finish. This celebratory edition comes in an elegant, varnished case of 25 cigars, as the flagship of this coveted brand.
Partagas This is a medium-to-full in body and featuring a Cameroon wrapper, it greets you with a rich, deep caramelized taste with bright highlights that earns your admiration right away. There’s a toasty aroma which has a hint of spice and the cigar has a medium finish that is fluid and easy.
