  Bandolero Clandestinos

  The Clandestinos is a premium cigar that is part of the Bandolero brand. During the 19th Century, the Spanish crown had a monopoly on tobacco production and the making of cigars and other tobacco products. This control allowed them to charge exorbitant prices for cigars, which gave rise to bootleggers referred to as Bandoleros. These bootleggers had cigars made in countries not under Spanish rule and sell them at a much lower cost, which eventually undermined the monarchy’s monopoly. The Clandestinos cigar is composed of a light-brown Ecuadorian wrapper placed over a binder of undisclosed origin and a Peruvian filler. It is a full-bodied stick that offers up a complexity of flavors. Expertly hand crafted in Costa Rica, the Bandolero Clandestinos is the creation of Nelson Alfonso, a Cuban graphic designer who is recognized in the cigar industry for doing the artwork and packaging for the Cohiba Behike brand. Alfonso is also the founder of Selected Tobacco.

  Crowned Heads Mil Dias

  Mil Dias is Spanish for 1,000 days. From the first time that Eradio Pichardo and Luciano Meirelles co-founders of ACE Prime Cigars approached Jon Huber founder of Crowned Heads with some blend samples to when they finally developed the blend it took approximately 1,000 days (roughly three years). The cigar is named after this lengthily time of discovery. The Crowned Heads Mil Dias is a medium bodied cigar that is handmade in Nicaragua at the Tabacalera Pichardo factory. The Mil Dias’s mouth-watering Ecuadorian Habano maduro wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and a filler composed of tobaccos from Peru, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. This four-nation blend offers a remarkable smoking experience with a rich complexity of flavors.

  EP Carrillo Encore

  The second in EP Carrillo's Family Series, the Encore is a medium to full-bodied 100% Nicaraguan puro with a very special secret. The tobacco used in making this cigar is cured and aged in "tercios", which is when yagua (palm tree bark) is wrapped around the tobacco to create bales that are then aged for 2 years. This process allows a natural two-way humidification system to form; humidity is automatically exchanged between the yagua and the tobacco as needed, letting the tobacco breathe optimally and age in the most desirable way. Notes of rich earth and tinges of both sweetness and spice come together to provide a smooth and sophisticated smoke you'll crave again and again. Experience the next entry into the already historic Family Series by E.P. Carrillo.

  Illusione Epernay 10th Anniversary

  The Illusione Epernay is a medium strength cigar that is handmade in Honduras. Its reddish Nicaraguan maduro wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The Illusione Epernay has a creamy, nutty and peppery profile.

  Perla del Mar Corojo

  The Perla del Mar Corojo is a line extension of the J.C. Newman Cigar Company’s Perla del Mar brand, which was created by the Perfecto Garcia Brothers in Ybor City, Florida over a century ago. In 2016, Newman revitalized the brand with new blends and a whole new look. Handmade in Nicaragua, the Perla del Mar Corojo uses the finest tobaccos from Nicaragua’s top-growing regions for its binder and filler, which is then cloaked by a reddish Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper. The cigars are box-pressed using the Tampa-style method, which gives the cigar a more rectangular shape. This unique form allows the cigar’s tobaccos to marry and develop their distinctive flavor and deliver a satisfying smoking experience.

  Warped Corto

  Although a relative newcomer in the cigar industry, Warped has wasted no time in establishing a name for themselves. After a placement in the top ten of Cigar Aficionado's Best Cigars of 2017, Warped is keeping the momentum going with the Corto. This medium-bodied Nicaraguan puro is made at the Casa Fernandez factory in Esteli, and features an immaculate box-pressed construction in addition to a conveniently petite size, as its name suggests. A new size will be released every year to take the place of the previous one, inevitably making the retired vitolas a future collector's item. Don't hesitate and risk falling short and missing out on this year's Corto.
