YES - "Wood" is a flavor, especially in cigars. Typically milder in taste than other flavors, and distinctively different than that aromatic and tasty "cedar" wood, this flavor forms a background note in the cigars of this collection. Click through for more information.

Cabaiguan Guapo

Defiance, by Xikar

Dunhill Signed Range

Another Pete Johnson creation, the Cabaiguan cigars are blended and rolled in classic Cuban tradition. The Guapos, with a pig-tail cap and a band with silver trim, use the Ecuadorian wrapper to give a spicier flavor profile to the cigar over the original Cabaiguan blend.

Created by Jesus Fuego for Xikar, the Guardian is smooth and rich, with an incredibly luxurious Criollo wrapper aged four years.

The Nicaraguan Dunhill Signed Range cigar combines Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos with an African Cameroon binder and a Cuban seed Nicaraguan wrapper to produce a balanced blend that is worthy of the prestige of the Dunhill name. Note that the pre-2007 cigars were made with a different blend and wrapper and are more earthy and chocolatey than the current Nicaraguan cigar.

EO 601 Black

La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Miami

Padilla Signature 1932

The 601 Serie is the latest line from United Tobacco. These cigars are handmade in Nicaragua by Pepin Garcia exclusively for United Tobacco. The 601 is manufactured at Pepins new factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. The blend is a rich and complex blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos topped off with a beautiful dark and oily Nicaraguan Habano wrapper.

 The all new La Gloria Artesanos de Miami is made by only 10 rollers in Miamis Little Havana. This all new blend is 6 years in the making and is very limited in production. This blend celebrates La Glorias El Credito Factory 40th Anniversary.

The Signature 1932 was created by Ernesto Padilla as a tribute to his fatther Heberto Padilla, a well known Cuban writer and poet.  A Nicaraguan puro, this cigar features a gorgeous corojo wrapper, and was originally blended and manufactured by José Pepin Garcia for Padilla.

Partagas Benji Menendez Master Series

Partagas Spanish Rosado

Finally, from one of the foremost tobacco experts behind the scenes of General Cigar and Tabacalera de Espana comes a masterful, well blended cigar filled with flavor. Benji Menendez has crafted a masterpiece, bearing his signature on the label, that is truly one of the best Dominican Partagas available today.  This limited edition, only 5,000 boxes will be released, is a must try before they disappear. 

In developing the Partagas Spanish Rosado, Daniel Nunez searched for a rich taste that is not currently found in any other premium cigar. The search led Daniel to the San Agustin Valley in Honduras.

Because of the uniqueness of the soil in the San Agustin Valley, the wrapper provides a spicy taste with hints of cinnamon that burns white, leaving a beautiful ash.
