Shop Here: https://www.cigarpage.com/crowned-heads-j-d-howard-reserve.html
Heavy is the coconut with the crown on top, a statement we're well aware of at da Page. The sword of Damocles looms large but we're reigning hard, bringing the bread and circuses in spades. Exhibit A: Crowned Heads JD Howard is yours for a song. This is a finger-lickin blend made by EP Carrillo of 98-rated fame. Featuring a lush Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper around a Sumatra binder and Nicaraguan long-fillers, this medium-full-bodied boomstick delivers. Spice, cedar, coffee over a slightly sweet, always smooth finish.

Olmec Maduro | Cigar Review with Alex
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.

Oliva Black Swan Review with Tommy Z
Shop Here: https://www.cigarpage.com/tommy-z-s-stick-picks.html
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.

Rocky Patel Fusion & Woodford Reserve | Cigar Pairing
https://www.cigarpage.com/rocky-patel-fusion.html
We all know Rocky Patel has a ton of blends, and among the most interesting is Fusion. Rocky Patel Fusion was launched 20 years ago and the original idea was fusing the flavor and body of his RP Vintage ’90 and ’92. Either way it stands on its own right as a tasty, bold, and complex handmade blend. Crafted in Honduras, RP Fusion is chock-a-block with long-filler Ligero tobaccos from Nicaragua and Costa Rica which coats the palate in pepper and spice. The hearty Habano-seed Honduran-grown wrapper adds further complexity, and its dark, sultry, oily look will call out to you like a whale song. Notes of toasted bread, pepper spice with an oak finish.

Camacho Nicaragua | Unboxing
94 rated! Released in July 2020, Camacho Nicaragua was blended for those who absolutely love the distinct nuances of Nicaraguan tobaccos. Handmade in the Dominican, this blend boasts a delicious, oily Ecuadorian wrapper atop a bold blend of Nicaraguan, Honduran and Dominican long leaves which are finished with a Honduran binder. Complex and hearty, yet well-balanced with a crisp finish that leaves behind notes of oak, leather, black pepper, hay and a raisin-like sweetness. The aroma refines and completes the experience, releasing enticing nuances of leather, cocoa and sweet oak.
This is one excellent cigar and a must-try if you consider yourself a true fan of Nicaraguan tobaccos. Expect a medium to full-bodied character that builds in strength from head to foot but finishes with a well-balanced depth of flavor that'll have you smoking this one down to the nub.
