CROWNED HEADS TENNESSEE WALTZ: These are so damn hard to get. We had to grab a box on a trip through Tennessee a few years ago…and only smoke them on special occasions! These are made at the My Father Cigars factory in Estelí, Nicaragua under the watchful eye of the Garcia family, each TENNESSEE WALTZ is packed with flavor. Notes of oak, coffee, and cocoa mingle with leather and earth on a base of spicy pepper and sweet caramel. The burn is even, the draw smooth yet packed with satisfying tobacco richness.

JAS SUM KRAL KRALOT: This cigar is a Masterpiece! It’s wrapped in a San Andres Maduro leaf with full-bodied, full-strength character. Flavors are complex and intense! Big, bold notes of espresso, dark cocoa, cedar wood, vanilla, brown sugar, dark leather, clove, heavy cream, cinnamon stick, butter, and toasted nuts. And it’s perfectly smooth and expertly balanced! You are gonna LOVE this cigar!

CALDWELL CIGARS: Our friend, Robert Caldwell, makes some of the best boutique cigars in the business! I remember the first time I smoked a Caldwell cigar, years ago. (It was with Robert Caldwell, after a cigar event, and Caldwell cigars hadn’t even launched yet!) But when I lit it up for the first time, I was shocked at the flavor profile—I’d never tasted any thing like it! Caldwell utilizes some of the rarest and hard to get tobaccos in the world. Every blend is a very special and very unique smoking experience!

MONTECRISTO CIGARS: The classic tobacciana is the heritage and tradition of our amazing industry. The ICONIC brands that pioneered the way for the boutique cigar-makers we all know and love—are ICONIC for a reason! MONTECRISTO is arguably the MOST POPULAR and MOST RECOGNIZED cigar brand in the world. And there’s a reason they’ve been crushing it for all these years—their cigars set the standard by which all others are measured. MONTECRISTO’s history goes all the way back to Cxba in 1935. While this isn't the oldest brand to originate in Cuba, it is one of the most beloved. MONTECRISTO is wrapped in a pristine Connecticut Shade leaf featuring rich Dominican binder and filler tobaccos. Flavors are smooth as silk. Gorgeous notes of cream, baking spices, cashews, Spanish cedar, raw cane sugar, aged leather, nougat, white chocolate, dried fruit, clove, cafe latte, and mocha.

CINNABUN: If you think about it…a cinnamon roll is the perfect cigar profile! I mean seriously, cinnamon, sugar, spice…these are some of the most perfect cigar flavors of all time! Flavors in CINNABUN are crazy delicious! First light brings flavors of Ceylon cinnamon, raw cane sugar, vanilla bean, aged leather, black pepper, and Spanish cedar wood. As it progresses, notes of brown sugar, cinnamon stick, caramel, bourbon, clove, nutmeg, and buttercream join the mix. Last third big flavors of coffee beans, molasses, graham cracker, Red Hots candy, and white pepper. CINNABUN is so rich and so luscious...ahhh I get all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it!
