Picolino - Spicy
This little cigar is full of history. Picolino is a Spanish word
describing a work cart used by Cuban farmers every day…it is small but
strong… …And this little cigar smokes just like the cart it is named
after… This size and blend pays homage to the Cuban people who smoke
them As an American would smoke the cigarette. Nicely spicy and burning
just long enough to compliment a traditional espresso break, this little
smoke has found its place in our busy modern hustle and bustle world
with those who want to enjoy a fine cigar but don’t have the time for a
big smoke. ***Currently Out of Stock***
Sapphire - Double Maduro - Creamy
This is an absolutely
beautiful blend that we consider a “must smoke“ for cigar lovers who
enjoy richer, creamier leaf combinations! It is a mellow smoke
with smooth, caramel tones and a hint of almond on the palette. The
aromas and flavors soothe the senses… harmonizing steady, creamy
strength with nuances of nuttiness. This is a superb example of
blending that pays homage to the richer, buttery blends of Old Cuba.
Just because a cigar is classified as medium-bodied does not mean that
it must be spicy. This blend celebrates deep yet mellow almond tones.
Presented in this edition with a Maduro Wrapper as binder and then
wrapped again in the creamy Connecticut Shade, you will find this
version to be a mega-rich, super slow delight right down to the
finger-burning nub.
La Tradicion II - Double Maduro
This blend pays homage to Traditional Cuban style
Blending of years gone by. It is a mild blend that is best described
as having mega-flavor for a light cigar. Built to please a European
palette accustomed to rich tobacco blends, this cigar makes our
Master Roller homesick every time he smokes one! The earthy aromas,
the traditional long white ash, and the melding of light spice and
leather flavors in this blend are so authentic, you can simply close
your eyes and let your senses transport you to the Golden Age of Old
Havana cigar production. Presented in this edition with a Maduro
Wrapper as binder and then wrapped again in the creamy Connecticut
Shade, this smoke takes on an exotic edge of richness on the tongue
while remaining pleasantly mild.
2nd Anniversary
Reserve - San Andres Maduro - Maduro Only
The San Andres
Maduro wrapper leaf is a Cuban Seed now grown only in Mexico. It is
prized for it’s unique flavor and is only grown in limited quantities.
This wrapper has been carefully aged 5 years prior to release from the
grower. This time spent slow-curing has quietly promoted the heartiness
of the leaf until It has achieved it’s true prime. It is rich, bold, and
features a finish that is Smooth as silk. This leaf is widely considered
by Connoisseurs as the pinnacle of excellence in Maduro leaf production.
Although we usually create a blend “filler first” and then discover what
wrappers best compliment our blend, this wrapper leaf is so very special
that we worked this one in reverse. For the Anniversary Reserve, we
created a blend that would reflect the Cuban Tradition in a rich
blending style of medium spicy character that is designed to enhance and
showcase this wonderful wrapper. Spoil yourself with the best of the
best - there is nothing else like this leaf!
The
Butterman - Double Maduro - Aka. The Texan Cowboy
This
Blend was created specifically for the palette of Colonel Jeffrey Butter
of the United States Marine Corps and quickly skyrocketed to Top Seller
in our Humidor! Incorporating 4 filler leaves from 4 different countries
+ binder + wrapper, this blend is most unique! By taking a
non-traditional approach to standard leaf combinations, we have achieved
a complexity of flavor which is wonderfully rich and full of
beautiful earth tones but also features a clean, bright spice on the top
of the palette. Originally created in the Ecuador Oscuro wrapper to
enhance the low, spicy-walnut tones, when presented as a Double Maduro,
this cigar becomes unbelievably deep and luxuriously slow burning.
EXOTIC FULL BODY LIMITED RUNS
3rd Anniversary Reserve
This blend celebrates our
factory’s dynamic growth in blend development. Our Master Blender really
outdid himself with this blend, taking the opportunity to showcase our
most unique and dramatic tobaccos in stock, he presents to you a blend
that is so Cuban in aroma and flavor, you can close your eyes and swear
you have been transported to Havana. The earthy, leathery undertones are
perfectly balanced with deeply creamy and nutty notes…all of which is
crowned with a perfect compliment of spice. Your entire palette will be
alive with flavor and the aroma is unbelievable. This blend is presented
in the rich and creamy Connecticut Shade wrapper so as to best show off
the amazing fill in this most unique “must smoke” for cigar aficionados.
El Fantasma
This blend was named by
one of our Founding Cigar Club Members, Ted. Frequently recruited to
test our latest inventions, he was quite startled when smoking this
blend for the first time. Ted’s first comments were, “Nice full body
from the first taste…good balance of spice with heartiness”. Then he
detected a hint of low toned sweetness layered in for complexity. (This
is where the Exotic part comes into play…) He smoked the cigar until it
burned his fingers, declaring it “very tasty“, but most strange because
his palette was so super-clean that it was as if he had never even
smoked a cigar.. yet he had just finished smoking… He said it was like
encountering a ghost (El Fantasma in Spanish). His first reaction was “oooh…wow…whoah…this
blend really gets your attention…“ and then “…it just disappears on the
palette…leaving you wondering if you even really smoked anything in the
first place…” We built our first run in Brazilian Maduro and people
started teasing us that it really was a “ghost blend” because they
disappeared out of our Humidor! ***Currently out of Stock***
Cuba Libre - Double Maduro
Taste the joyful
flavors of Liberated Cuban Seed!!! This cigar showcases the mild, medium
& strong leaves of Cuban Seed tobacco grown in Santo Domingo. It is
blended to reflect the Cuban Tradition of strength, spiciness, and
flavor, yet mellowed a touch with a creamy binder so as never to be
bitter. We consider it an exotic because this blend requires 5 filler
leaves to achieve its distinctive “Old School” flavor. Presented in this
edition with a Maduro Wrapper as binder and then wrapped again in the
creamy Connecticut Shade, this limited edition takes on an impressive
richness of flavor and becomes a beautifully slow burning experience.

The 7400 Series
Celebrating our new factory location at 7400 Gulf Blvd.
in St. Pete Beach, Florida, we wanted this Series to express our
penchant for the unique & dramatic smoking experience. Each incorporates
a unique and closely guarded mixture of premium alcohols we call our
“Special Sauce” that has been used for marinating and re-fermenting a
designated filler leaf in the blend. May we present to you the following
exotic specialty blends for your enjoyment.
The
Porto Fino
This blend incorporates 6 filler leaves from
4 different countries...one of which was carefully marinated in 10 year
old Port Wine from Portugal. Just as in cooking with Sherry, the alcohol
in the Port dissipates while the flavor remains. This infusion of deep,
rich berry flavor adds just the perfect amount of richness and depth to
balance out the creamy notes to this deceptively smooth smoke. This
blend presents with amazing aroma and flavor from the moment it is lit
and smokes to such a beautiful finish, it is a real finger-burner at the
nub. Originally built in the Creamy and Light Connecticut Shade, the
slightly richer Dominican Deflorada, & also in the Walnut-toned
spiciness of the Ecuador Oscuro.
The Forbidden
Passion
This blend has been hailed by many of our
clients as the most amazing cigar they have ever smoked! It presents as
a well balanced & very rich cigar that develops deeper earthy, spicy
tones the more you smoke it. This unique blend features 7 premium filler
leaves, one of which has been marinated in an aged Anejo Rum to enhance
the depth of the blend. Although the alcohol actually dissipates out of
the mix during the marinating process, the resulting taste adds a
special zing that is like no other. This blend celebrates the Cuban
Tradition of “Tobacco & Rum” with a new twist. A “Must Smoke” for Full
Body Aficionados, this blend is so seductive that you can’t help but
fall in love with it! Originally created in the Creamy and Light
Connecticut Shade & the slightly richer Dominican Deflorada, this cigar
demands serious respect in the Walnut-toned spiciness of the Ecuador
Oscuro.
The Big Daddy
Born on
Father’s Day 2008, this blend certainly lives up to its name!
Incorporating our richer, stronger leaf stock, this blend is robust and
hearty. But the real magic comes into the blend by way of one very
special leaf we slowly and carefully marinated for months in a secret
proprietary blend of aged Brandy, molasses, and pure Madagascar Vanilla
Bean Extract. This cigar smells so good, you mouth will be watering
before you even light it up! A guaranteed finger-burner because you will
not put it down until you can’t hold on anymore, this rich, sweet yet
hearty smoke is unlike anything you have ever tasted. We build this
blend exclusively in the Walnut toned Ecuador Oscuro and recommend you
clear you schedule because this cigar will put you on vacation for the
rest of the day. If you want to indulge, this is the smoke for you! (We
usually unveil this blend for Father’s Day and…if you are lucky…we make
an extra batch for Christmas too…)
