Best Selling Cigars

If you are a pipe smoker, then grab some of these! They are slightly sweet, but in a natural tobacco background and there is cavendish pipe tobacco in the filler (from what I hear, I can't verify other than to say I taste a similar note when I smoke these). Read Less

This is my number one recommendation for new smokes. It's a great cigar that's just the right size for anyone trying to develop a palate for cigars or crossing over from pipe smoking. I always finish this one wanting more, and for new smokers I think that's better than trying to finish a big cigar that you've had enough of half way through. Smooth and tasty. The cigar aficionado might find the Hemingway line bland, but they're one of my favorites. More subtle than something like an Oliva Serie V. The Hemingway doesn't seem to have as much of that strong cigar punch that can become too much for a new smoker. The Hemingway remind me of a toned-down, milder version of the Opus X (my favorite cigar). Read Less

I found this to be a fairly mild cigar in both flavor and strength. Great burn, great construction. A nice little sweetness like milk chocolate, and loads of tobacco and hay aroma. Would buy again. Read Less

An Italian tradition, a rather unique cigar invented in Italy and enjoyed by common man and cowboys alike. Made of fermented Kentucky filler and wrapped in a stout Kentucky leaf. The Anticos are a full bodied, musty, woody and spicy smoke that has a pungent flavor and aroma. Read Less

Another great cigar. The leather profile is still present as with the melanio line, but I find coffee and powdered chocolate in the maduro version. The #4 vitola is on point. Read Less

Given the low, low, LOW price of these cigars, I was ready to be underwhelmed. I was wrong to be so quick to judge based upon price alone. I've paid three times as much, for far inferior smokes than this.

The initial (pre-smoking) impression is one of a roughly made piece. And certainly, these cigars win no prizes in the beauty stakes. 'Rough and ready' is a phrase which springs easily to mind. A vieny wrapper, dark and slightly mottled. Slightly uneven at the least, and not at all waxy or oily. But firmly packed with what look to be quality leaves, rather than the floor-sweepings one might expect at this price point. But despite the tight construction, the draw, once cut, is surprisingly easy.

An easy light gives way to a slow and even burn. The initial 'barnyard' aroma and taste is gone within a minute or two, thankfully. Then comes a flavour of amazingly deep complexity. Earthy and savoury, like roasted flat mushrooms, yet at the same time sweet and chocolatey. The vaguest hint of vanilla, and spice. Rich, creamy and mouth filling. The smoke billows thick, white and curly as Moses' beard. The firm ash is surprisingly light in colour, almost white.

As the cigar burns slowly through, it remains cool and firm, never stodgy, soft or gooey.

The flavour and aroma just keep on getting better. Richer. Deeper. And not a hint of bitterness.

If it weren't for the fact that I want to sample so many others, I'd place these babies on standing order, and smoke nothing else. Read Less
