Sampler Spotlight

Are you a fan of Torpedo shaped cigars? This sampler is for you. A torpedo is an oddly-shaped cigar with a pointed head and a bulging, straight body. These cigars tend to give fuller flavors because their shape concentrates the smoke by making it squeeze through the smaller head. These cigars are very hard to make and are often rolled by the most experienced cigar makers in the factory.

Plus, two Duecento Churchills, which celebrates Toscano’s two hundred years of crafting fine cigars. The Toscano Taste of Italy 10 Cigar Sampler will have you grabbing your passport and catching the first flight to Italy: the land of fine wine, delicious food, and great cigars.

Neptune’s Broadleaf Sampler highlights one of the cigar world’s most iconic wrappers, prized for its rugged texture, natural sweetness, and bold depth. Broadleaf wrappers primarily thrive in Connecticut’s River Valley, the rich volcanic soils of Nicaragua, and the historic fields of Pennsylvania, each region lending its own accent. These thick, hearty leaves demand extended fermentation, unlocking flavors that broadly range from earthy and cocoa-like to spicy and robust, often with natural sweetness. This collection shows how origin and process shape the many dimensions of Broadleaf.

Few wrappers carry as much mystique as Cameroon, an African-grown leaf prized for its toothy texture and naturally nuanced spice with underlying sweetness. While true Cameroon tobacco is cultivated in the Central African Republic and Cameroon itself, seed offshoots are also grown in places like Ecuador and Honduras, giving blenders multiple interpretations of this classic style. Expect flavorful but balanced strength with notes of baking spice, cedar, and subtle sweetness in a mild to medium-bodied package. Some of the industry’s most celebrated cigars use Cameroon, and this sampler gives you the perfect excuse to explore why.

Neptune’s Corojo Sampler explores one of the most storied seeds in the cigar world, celebrated for its spice, sweetness, and classic Cuban heritage. Originally cultivated in Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region, true Corojo gained fame for its peppery kick and aromatic depth. Today it thrives in Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic, where each climate adds its own twist, ranging from rustic spice to earthy richness to smooth, refined sweetness.

This sampler highlights the famed Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, named “Habano” because the seeds originate from Cuban, or Habana, tobacco strains. In Ecuador’s cloud-covered valleys, these Cuban-seed plants thrive in rich volcanic soil, producing smooth, oily leaves with depth and consistency. Expect flavors of (but not limited to) earth, cedar, gentle sweetness, and varying levels of spices. The natural shade and steady climate of Ecuador make it one of the best regions outside Cuba for cultivating world-class Habano wrappers.

This sampler celebrates the bold character of Mexican San Andrés wrappers, tobacco cultivated for centuries in the fertile San Andrés Valley. Known for its thick, resilient leaf and long fermentation process, San Andrés delivers a naturally sweet, earthy depth. Expect notes of dark chocolate, espresso, pepper, and rich spice layered with a lingering sweetness. The volcanic soil and humid climate of Mexico give this wrapper its signature intensity, making it a favorite for full-bodied, complex cigars.

This sampler showcases the richness of Nicaraguan puros, cigars rolled entirely with tobaccos grown in Nicaragua. The country’s volcanic soils and varied microclimates, from Estelí’s bold, peppery strength to Jalapa’s sweeter, more aromatic leaf, give blenders a remarkable range. Flavor can shift dramatically depending on stalk position, priming, fermentation, and curing methods, with higher leaves offering more strength, while longer fermentations bring sweetness and depth. Expect earth, cocoa, coffee, cedar, and natural sweetness layered with a robust body. Nicaragua’s terroir and craftsmanship make it one of the world’s premier sources for powerful yet refined premium cigars.

This sampler celebrates the bold versatility of Nicaraguan Habano wrappers, Cuban-seed tobacco grown in Nicaragua’s volcanic soils. The leaf thrives in regions like Estelí, Jalapa, and Condega, where climate and soil impart different personalities, from peppery and robust to sweet and aromatic. Expect flavors of earth, cedar, cocoa, and natural sweetness with plenty of body. And honestly, did you really need an excuse to try a bunch of tasty Nicaraguan cigars?

This sampler explores the rich tradition of Brazilian wrappers, most notably Mata Fina and Arapiraca, both grown in the Bahia region. Mata Fina is prized for its fine texture and natural sweetness, often adding cocoa, coffee, and gentle spice to a blend. Arapiraca, darker and thicker, delivers earthier, more rustic flavors with notes of nuts, leather, and molasses. Together they showcase Brazil’s diversity: smooth refinement on one hand, hearty depth on the other. A perfect way to taste, compare, and learn about Brazil’s role in premium cigar making.

This sampler highlights the elegance of Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers, grown under the country’s natural cloud cover, which acts like a giant shade tent. The result is a silky, golden leaf prized for its smoothness and balance. Unlike U.S. Connecticut Shade, which is grown under cheesecloth tents, Ecuador’s natural cloud cover provides more consistent conditions and lower costs, producing a thinner, smoother wrapper with mellower flavor. Expect notes of cream, cedar, nuts, and subtle sweetness. Ecuador has become the leading source for Connecticut-style wrappers worldwide.

This sampler showcases the allure of Ecuadorian Sumatra wrappers, named after their Indonesian seed origin in Sumatra, where this varietal first gained fame for its exotic character. In Ecuador, the seed flourishes in volcanic soils under a natural cloud cover that slows leaf development, producing thinner veins, finer texture, and greater complexity. Expect a dynamic range of flavors: herbal, nutty, oak or cedar, and touches of baking spice. Exploring this wrapper reveals how Ecuador transforms a classic seed into a uniquely versatile style worth discovering. An excellent opportunity to play, compare, and learn why Sumatra remains a staple in blending.
