Joya De Nicaragua Antano Cigar

The Joya De Nicaragua Antano 1970 cigar is a smooth smoke!

Gurkha

Gurkha Master's Select Cigar

A supple cigar that emanates a toasty aroma and a taste rich and creamy in flavor with a hint of spice. A pleasant smoke with a nice even burn from start to finish. And the finish was long and satisfying.

Montesino Cigar

Park Avenue

A leathery smoke with hints of nut and bread. Medium bodied and smooth throughout. For my palate it was okay, just. At $6 a stick, not just enough for me.

Not bold, but… balanced, flavors from start to finish. Hints of earth, leather, pepper and cocoa. Not bad but also one that I would not stock…

5 Vegas Gold

This cigar has a rich satiny texture and a slight nutty taste with mild peppery notes – yet, creamy. A very nice smoke and of all the Vegas I’ve experienced this one is the best. And not a bad price at $3.60 a stick.
