Cigars from Around the World

Description

The Flor de Selva Maduro Robusto is a medium-bodied stick that is bold without being overpowering. A dark, Honduran binder is expertly applied over the Flor de Selva Maduro’s Brazilian Mata Fina binder and Honduran long-filler tobaccos to create a warm, inviting smoking experience that hints of espresso and toasted caramel. It’s no wonder that the Flor de Selva Maduro received the much coveted 2019 Cigar of the Year award from Tobacco Business.

Totally handmade in Honduras.

Joya de Nicaragua Cinco Decadas Diadema

The Cigar

Back in 2018, Joya de Nicaragua celebrated its 50th anniversary how many cigar companies celebrate anniversaries, with a new cigar line. This one was called Cinco Décadas, a new limited production line and it would become the company’s most esteemed offering.

But beyond just using the Cinco Décadas line to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, Joya de Nicaragua has been using it to celebrate and honor some key people and a key thing in the company’s history

Esteli, Nicaragua - The 1980s were a critical decade for Nicaragua and Nicaraguan cigars. Two events were fundamental in shaping the country’s history during that decade: the civil war and the economic embargo, declared by the United States against the Central  American nation in 1985. The embargo became an enormous obstacle for Nicaraguan products, as they were prohibited from entering the US Market, and its citizens could no longer enjoy Nicaraguan crafted cigars. But once more from obstacles came opportunity.

With its primary market forbidden indefinitely, Joya de Nicaragua had to seek alternatives to sell its cigars. This is how Joya de Nicaragua found in Europe one of its greatest allies, emerging as the first brand of   Nicaraguan cigars to be enjoyed in the old world, and eventually becoming one of the best known Nicaraguan brands around the globe.

“Cinco Decadas pays tribute to our milestones as a company; the events that have made and shaped who we are today. But not all of the occasions were positive, some of them were paramount challenges. The embargo was one of those hard situations we confronted, but one that in retrospect allowed Joya de Nicaragua to establish itself as a truly global brand. Another great example of how the tough moments in life can actually make us better and stronger. With El Embargo, we bring to our European friends a token of gratitude for opening their arms to us during those years” said Dr Alejandro Martinez Cuenca, Chairman of Joya de Nicaragua S.A

Commemorating the resisliency of Joya de Nicaragua thirty five years ago, the company is proud to introduce Cinco Decadas El Embargo, a limited edition 6 x 60 box pressed gigante with only 500 boxes of 10 cigars produced. Respecting its origin, it will not be available for sale in the USA

nSobremesa has no precise English translation, ‘Over the table’ is the closest we can get. It is an idiom used in Latin culture to describe the leisurely time spent at the table after you have finished eating. It is the experience of lingering with family and friends in
conversation, relaxing, drinking, smoking and enjoying each other’s company. Sobremesa is one of life’s simplest, yet greatest pleasures.

The Sobremesa Brûlée is a variation of the core Sobremesa liga, the Brûlée features an
Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, San Andres Negro binder and filler from
Nicaragua. This produces a mild to medium cigar with soft, creamy flavours of cedar,

Celebrating 20 years of partnership with La Union cigars by José “Pepin” Garcia My father Cigars and Pete Johnson, Tatuaje Cigars

José “Pepin” Garcia and Pete Johnson, of My Father Cigars and Tatuaje respectively, are marking their two-decade partnership with La Union, a set of exclusive and pricey cigars. Their collaboration began in 2003 when Garcia, originally from Cuba, established his first cigar factory in Miami's Little Havana, where he met Johnson. La Union offers four unique blends, two from each maker, in a single size called Prominente Especial. These cigars, featuring a belicoso head, come in red or black box sets. Johnson's blends use Nicaraguan Corojo ’99 or Ecuador Sumatra wrappers, while Garcia's use Ecuador Habano or Connecticut broadleaf. All cigars have Nicaraguan binder and filler, sourced from the Garcias' own farms, including Pelo d’Oro leaf. Johnson's cigars have a closed foot, while Garcia's have an open foot.

My Father Flor De Las Antillas 10th Anniversary

The Cigar

A robusto 6 1/2 x 52 Nicaraguan puro, the Flor De Las Antillas Robusto literally translates to “Flower of The Antilles”. This special 10th anniversary edition contains a modified blend of the regular production Flor de Las Antillas line and is comprised of tobaccos cultivated exclusively by the Garcia family, along with a wrapper of increased priming for a darker and stronger cigar than the regular blend.

My Father Flor De Las Antillas Belicosos

The Cigar

The Flor De Las Antillas brand was released by My Father Cigars in May 2012 in the USA using a variety of Nicaraguan tobaccos, their trademark double binder and a wrapper leaf grown in  the open sunlight. They named the brand for Cuba, the largest of the Antilles Islands, which are called Antillas in their native Spanish.

These box pressed cigars are delicious from the first puff, with notes of nutmeg, white pepper and just enough strength without being overpowering. They start with the signature My Father spice and have a rich cocoa flavour. They produce a beautiful white ash giving a great finish.

Cigar Aficionado Rating 96

The story of Cigar Aficionado’s 2012 Cigar of the Year begins in Cuba, the island home of José “Pepin” Garcia, his son Jaime and daughter, Janny.  Pepin began rolling cigars at the age of 11 in his hometown of Baez. He rose to prominence in Cuba as a talented cigarmaker but yearned for freedom and opportunity.

One by one the Garcia’s left, eventually making their way to Miami where they began producing cigars. Their beginnings were humble: the factory was tiny with a dozen rollers and they didn’t own the entire operation.

They had their first taste of glory with the Tatuaje brand, which they made for Pete Johnson. It brought critical acclaim as well as increasing demand, which led the family to venture out on its own, eventually constructing the massive and My Father Cigars S.A. factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Whilst Pepin focuses his energies on growing tobacco in Nicaragua, trying various seed varieties, Jaime is the company’s master blender. They released the Flor de Las Antillas brand in May 2012, using a variety of Nicaraguan tobaccos, their trademark double binder and a wrapper leaf grown in the open sunlight. They named the brand for Cuba, the largest of the Antilles Islands, which are called Antillas in their native Spanish. The standout of the four-size brand is the Toro, which has a gentle, rounded box press and a beautiful and evenly coloured wrapper. 

The cigars are delicious from the first puff, with notes of nutmeg, white pepper and just enough strength without being overpowering. They are classics, 96-point rating on the Cigar Aficionado 100-point scale. The Garcia’s have worked long and hard since leaving Cuba, coming a long way in a very short time. Their cigars have made numerous appearances on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list, but this is the first time they have won Cigar of the Year.

The Cigar 

Description

The original My Father brand was created by Jaime Garcia to honour his father, Pepin. A year later, Pepin decided to honour his own father with an offshoot brand called My Father Le Bijou 1922. Unlike the originals, which wear an Ecuadoran cover leaf, Le Bijou 1922 cigars are darker and stronger. The blend is Nicaraguan from top to bottom, showcasing Cuban-seed wrappers that the Garcia family calls oscuro. Only one size—this torpedo—is box-pressed. Some will say that box-pressing a cigar is only an aesthetic decision. But when the Garcia's took this hearty, complex blend, rolled it into a torpedo shape and then gave it a pressing, the result stood out for its ability to deliver complex notes clearly and harmoniously.

The Oliva Cigar story began in the late 1800s, when Melanio Oliva started growing cigar tobacco in Cuba. His heirs carried on the family tradition in the fields, but it was his grandson Gilberto Oliva Sr. who began making cigars. 

Nicaraguan tobacco helped Oliva survive. The cigar that brought it to the attention of connoisseurs debuted in 2006: Oliva Serie V. Made by a small group of rollers and blended for strength and style, the Serie V line was an immediate hit. In 2012, to pay tribute to the first man in the family to grow cigar tobacco, Oliva added the Melanio version, which is distinguished from the original by its Sumatra-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador. The No. 1 Cigar of the Year 2014, Oliva Serie V Melanio Figuarado has rich, big notes of leather framed by a range of coffee, caramel and woody intonations. It’s a classic smoke.

Only 3000 boxes have been created. 

In October 2021 Oliva celebrated 135 years in the tobacco business and marked its long history with this limited edition Serie V Perfecto.

These commemorative cigars measure 5 1/2 x 54 and are presented in an eye-catching 12 count box with a fanned out display. Like the rest of the Olive Serie V range, these cigars are made in Nicaragua at the Tabolisa factory and are the same complex blend of Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos, blended with fermented Jalapa Valley Ligero and finished with a high priming Sun Grown wrapper.

Melanio Oliva cultivated his first tobacco crop in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba in 1886. His growing operations were suspended while he fought in the Cuban War of Independence. After returning from the war, Melanio resumed his tobacco growing operations.

Today Gilberto along with his family are Nicaragua’s second largest grower of Cuban-seed tobac­co. Using these same time tested methods of curing, blending, and rolling that built an empire, the Oliva cigar lineup has garnered tons of top- ratings from industry experts and consumers alike

Size: 6.5 x 52 Figurado

Oliva Serie V Melanio is hand rolled using expertly fermented ligero fillers and leaves known for his rich and robust flavours. Five years in the making, this special cigars is sure to exceed premium cigars smokers highest expectations.

Available in boxes of 10 cigars, unlike the normal Melanio range this cigars are round instead of box pressed 

*It’s not as if the Oliva Serie V Melanio needed improvement. With its Sumatra-seed wrapper and bold blend of Nicaraguan tobacco, the cigar was already a complex smoke that was both critically and commercially successful. This didn’t stop Oliva from taking it to the next level, which it did when it came out with the same cigar in a maduro version. Changing the Sumatra wrapper to a dark leaf of Mexican San Andrés turned an already extraordinary cigar into an absolute blockbuster.

The Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Churchill is powered by its core of Nicaraguan tobacco but the Mexican cover leaf adds a new dimension resulting in a complete work of balance and substance.

The cigar is made in Nicaragua at Oliva’s Tabolisa factory and shows a luxurious procession of rich, regal character starting with notes of German chocolate cake that segue into a smoke of baking spices, malted chocolate and lively, cedary accents. Polished and precise, the large Churchill is a bit of a commitment, but we urge you to take that time.

Since purchasing the company in 2016, Belgian owner J. Cortès has proven to be a worthy, respectful steward of the brand, maintaining the high standards that continue to put Oliva on the Top 25 list year after year.

Cigar Aficionado Rating 97

What a great cigar. The Padrón Serie 1926 No. 9 impressed the Cigar Aficionado tasting panel again and again, rising to the top after repeated tests to become the best cigar of the year of 2007.

In the end, when only a few cigars remained in the last blind tasting, this one stood above the rest: it was richer, rounder, more complex and rewarding than any other cigar they smoked.

This pressed beauty is rolled in the recently expanded Padrón factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, under the watchful eye of José Orlando Padrón, his son Jorge and the rest of the family members who ensure that the 5 million or so cigars they produce each year are of impeccable quality.

This is perhaps the finest of the line, just blossoming with flavour right from the first puff. It’s a complex smoke with perfect balance, showing flavours of chocolate, coffee and nuts, as well as some black cherry. The cigar has a finish so long it seems to never leave the palate. The 97 points is the highest score the Cigar Aficionado have given a cigar in many years.

Padrón Serie 1926 cigars are a bit stronger than the company’s other luxury line, the 1964 Anniversary Series, and are considerably more expensive. The family has an affinity for anniversaries: 1964 is the year the company began making cigars, and 1926 is the year José Orlando was born. The cigar debuted in 2002, on José Orlando’s 76th birthday, a year later than originally intended.

The Padróns have never finished out of the top five in the Cigar Aficionado Top 25 tastings, and this is the second time one of their cigars have been named the No. 1 cigar of the year.

The Cigar

Fifty years ago this past September, José Orlando Padrón opened his doors in Miami and began selling cigars marked with his name. It was the most modest of ventures: one cigar roller, cigars that cost 25 cents apiece, and a future that was very far from certain. After a rough start, he listened to a customer who yearned for a fuma, the pig-tailed cigar type that Cuban rollers smoked. He changed his product and packaging and gave the customer the new cigar. Suddenly, he had a hit on his hands. Padróns have come a long way from those fuma days, and the company commemorated 50 years in business as the most decorated cigarmaker on the planet.

Three times Padróns have been named Cigar of the Year, and throughout the 10-year history of the award not only have they never failed to make the list, they have never finished outside of the top 10.This Padrón Family Reserve 50 Years Maduro is beautifully pressed, and it is steeped in notes of rich earth, coffee and that trademark cocoa bean quality. The cigar comes in boxes.

It seems the Padróns are always celebrating something. And when they decide to honor an occasion with a commemorative cigar, it's always nothing short of excellent.T he Padrón Family Reserve 50 Years Natural marks the company's 50th anniversary.

A Padrón cigar has been named Cigar of the Year three times and has made the Top 10 list every year consecutively.

.Astute Padrón fans might remember how the Padrón Family Reserve 50 Years made the 2014 list. Last year, it was the maduro version, but this year, the natural wrapper version of the 50 Years made.

These cigars have all the signature traits of a great Padrón: box pressing, perfect draw, plenty of body, and a hearty combination of earth, cocoa bean and coffee. Each note folds into the palate individually and then harmonizes for a sublime experience.
