Graycliff Ivory is a gorgeous maduro out of Nicaragua with a luscious, oily, sultry San Andres wrapper, deeply dark in color with a beautiful sheen, and combined with long-fillers from Ometepe, Jalapa, and Esteli. This is a veritable candy bar and happens to match up beautifully with the white label, textured Ivory band. And it gets even better after you light it up. Naturally sweet with notes of bread, toastiness, coffee, creamy goodness, and a core of underlying spice. Yet despite the complexity it's fundamentally smooth and well-balanced with a clean, crisp finish. Medium to full in strength, it boasts excellent construction, nice combustion, and a glorioius ash, burning slow and deliberately to the nub. If you enjoy the likes of Liga Undercrown Maduro, CAO Bones, Tabernacle, Charter Oak Maduro, or Dunbarton Mi Querida, then you will really enjoy Graycliff Ivory, doubly so based on cost.

Shop Here: https://www.cigarpage.com/penn-standard.html Penn Standard is a gorgeous, dark horse of a blend from Nicaragua that will captivate you the moment you lay eyes on it. Have a look at the luscious, dark, genuine Pennsylvania-grown Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, an oily beauty with some nice mottling and tooth that will have you drooling – a preview of things to come. The binder is Habano-seed Esteli-grown leaf; the multi-country fillers are a recipe of Habano Esteli and Habano Condega grown in the jet black volcanic soils of Nicaragua together with Habano Copan from Honduras. On the opening, there’s nice sweetness on the lips with a refined flavor that’s smooth and almost chocolatey together with some spices, yet zero bite and no harshness. The ash is grey and holds firm, developing layer after layer before falling off in large chunks as it progresses. The smoke clouds billow with copious amounts of smoke. Warmer, creamy and smooth with a baked bread aroma, it burns slow with continued spice and strength throughout. Into the second half there is natural tobacco sweetness, hints of coffee, cocoa and leather with a pronounced hickory note and a mellow, pleasant finish on the palate. On the fuller side of medium to full bodied, this complex yet balanced prime steak is one solid smoke.

It's rare for Oliva to release anything new. With the exception of the V 135th, their product list has been virtually unmolested for a decade, maybe more. So it's noteworthy when they do…. a veritable Black Swan event you might say (see what I did there?). Oliva Black Swan is the fruit of our team on the ground in Nicaragua. We're always seeking out unique tobaccos in bodegas that have yet to find their way into a cigar. In its simplest form, tobacco is a commodity and factories either grow and/or purchase materials in large lots to get what they need to maintain consistency in their iconic blends and brands. The result of this pattern means there are inevitably unique, small batch tobaccos lumped in that are too small to make a full-time production blend, and such tobaccos are typically stored away for aging. They may emerge for special limited edition projects or they may accumulate, depending on the factory. Black Swan is so named to take advantage of these exceptional but limited tobacco lots. The crown jewel in the Oliva Black Swan crown is the wrapper - a dark and oily "real deal" Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. True Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf has been grown in the Northeastern USA for over a century and it's prized for the deep layers of flavor and distinct sweetness it delivers. Due to agricultural competition and some unexpected weather events, the crop and yields have been in steep decline, which has driven up prices and in many cases, forced factories to look for alternatives and/or to accept a wider range of color and quality of leaf. Some of the top-quality sorted CT Broadleaf wrappers that Oliva owns has been accumulating in their aging rooms..... due to the limited yield, each year it's been set aside but is not ample enough for a full blown, nationally distributed Oliva brand. But it's perfect for Black Swan, as a more limited and seasonally available offering. This gorgeous leaf is combined with an Oliva powerhouse Nicaraguan filler blend bound with an Ecuadorian binder. Beautiful, dark, and oily, perfectly constructed, and composed of aged, perfectly fermented fillers and wrappers. Upon lighting, expect deep, earthy, sweet notes and a long finish. Medium to full in body, fans of Oliva and fans of boutique cigars everywhere will savor this tasty morsel.

Shop Here: https://www.cigarpage.com/remington-cigars.html The storied Remington arms company is an iconic American brand. So.... how'd they get into cigars you ask? A few years back, Remington declared bankruptcy. Being light on his feet, the opportunistic sharpster Kaizad Hansotia, Gurkha's owner, promptly registered the trademark Remington for cigars. Remington subsequently reorganized and found a new owner, and they found out about the trademark and said WTF, bro? (taking some creative license.... but c'mon that HAD to be the exact reaction). After some shucking and jiving, they worked out a deal that avoided litigation. It wound up like this - Kaizad and Gurkha would broker the production of the cigars and Remington would sell them. So they made a quarter million cigars, in a Connecticut version and Habano version, all long-filler out of the Dominican Republic and all great looking to boot. Well, the cigar business is peculiar and Remington is a large co with other fish to fry, and I'm guessing this just got lost in the fog of accounting. I'm not even sure they ever attempted to sell even one of them. Flash forward a few years and the folks at Remington came calling, asking if we want to buy them all out of the factory. After some back and forth and burning a bunch we made a deal, and your pals at Cigar Page are the proud new owners of the entire lot. Of course we're turning them to you for a song Remington Habano- The Remington Habano brings an easy draw with copious spice and signature Dominican notes of earth, cream, and coffee.

Originally made in Nicaragua by late/great master maker Kiki Berger, these were a cigar shop standard. Nicaraguan niche-ness before Nica was nouveau, solid steady eddies that didn’t cost a lot and always tasted tasty. 90+ rated by someone somewhere I'm certain, they had the chubby cherub fella on the band that somehow didn't look as weird it sounds. Well the winged baby's back, and the blend's better than ever. Still rolled in Nicaragua, this time around by Carlos Sanchez at his TACASA factory (makers of Don't Tread On Me, Cult, Ortega + others), Cupido v2.0 captures everything that made the OG release so special. Captivating Criollo wrappers, nuanced Nicaraguan long-leaf, rich flavor profiles, rewarding aromas, all at a reasonable price point.

This cigar offers a rich maduro Mexican San Andres wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers. The filler leaves have been bale-aged for three years prior to rolling. This special aging process helps the leaves develop a pronounced and special flavor profile of spice, pepper, leather, and notes of cocoa.
