Liga Privada T52
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Habano Connecticut
Binder: Brazil
Filler: Honduras/Nicaragua
Length: 4
Ring: 60
Strength: Full
Smoke Time: 40 Minutes
Up first, we have the Liga Privada T52 Flying Pig. This cigar from Drew Estate is hugely popular and is a follow up to the fan-favorite Liga Privada No. 9. These beauties, like the No. 9, are in high demand and have extremely limited production numbers, making them scarce. Luckily for you, we’ve included one in your box.
The Flying Pig sports a rare sun-grown Habano Connecticut wrapper that is rolled by the finest cigarmakers at the Drew Estate factory over a Brazilian Mata Fina binder. Inside is an aged blend of choice Nicaraguan filler tobaccos.
This 4x60 cigar offers a full-bodied smoke with flavor notes of earth, cocoa, leather, black pepper, and other well-blended spices. This dark and oily cigar burns slow and even, earning it a 92-rating. With all this in mind, the Liga Privada T52 is sure to offer a memorable smoking experience.
Aladino Connecticut
Country of Origin: Honduras
Wrapper: Ecuador Connecticut
Binder: Honduras
Filler: Honduras
Length: 5
Ring: 50
Strength: Mellow
Smoke Time: 50 Minutes
Up next is the Aladino Connecticut Robusto. Aladino is known for making cigars that are on the stronger side. However, their Connecticut Robusto actually offers a mellow smoke, making it more approachable for beginner smokers. So if the other Aladino lines have seemed too daunting for you, this cigar is the perfect one to start with.
This 5x50 cigar is rolled at the Eiroa family’s Las Lomas Factory in Honduras. It holds JRE tobacco in a Honduran binder with a signature Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper. This Connecticut leaf is unique, though. Instead of being bright and silky, this one has a dustier appearance.
During this robusto’s mellow smoke, you may detect notes of sage, sourdough, crackers, nougat, and if you’re lucky, even some sprinkles of peaches. Enjoy it while it lasts, though, because this cigar burns uniform and quickly.
Deadwood Dominicana
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Connecticut Shade
Binder: Mexican San Adres
Filler: Dominican Republic
Length: 6
Ring: 50
Strength: Mellow
Smoke Time: 60 Minutes
Third in the line-up is the Deadwood Dominica Toro. The blend for this cigar was specially curated by Jose Mendez Co. With a mellow strength, this entry in the Deadwood line is the easiest to enjoy, especially for beginner smokers.
This 6x50 toro showcases a top-rated blend with a Connecticut shade wrapper, Mexican San Andres binder, and filler from the Dominican Republic. Interestingly, the filler tobacco is conditioned in the same way high-end pipe tobacco is produced. Additionally, this cigar includes a sweetened cap, to make sure you get some flavor even before you light.
Once you do light, you will get to experience the light and creamy smoke that this toro provides. While smoking, you may detect flavor notes of warm butter, honey, vanilla, and cocoa. This makes the Deadwood Dominica the perfect cigar to pair with a cappuccino.
La Gloria Cubana Los Gloriosos
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Ecuador Habano
Binder: Nicaraguan Jalapa
Filler: Dominican Republic/Nicaragua
Length: 6
Ring: 50
Strength: Medium-Full
Smoke Time: 60 Minutes
Next is the La Gloria Cubana Los Gloriosos Toro. This cigar is a tribute to a legacy and represents a reunion that was years in the making. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr., who helped shape the La Gloria Cubana brand, came back to craft this cigar. Thus, this toro serves to honor the roots of its brand.
This 6x50 toro is handmade at Casa Carillo in the Dominican Republic and offers a little bite off the draw with its Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Within lies a binder made up of a combination of Nicaraguan tobacco from Esteli and Jalapa. The filler is made up of Dominican tobacco with tobacco from Nicaragua’s Jalapa and Condega regions. The La Gloria Cubana Los Gloriosos offers a medium to full-bodied smoke and you can expect flavor notes of leather, espresso, pepper spice, and cocoa.
Romeo y Julieta Vintage
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Ecuador Connecticut
Binder: Mexico
Filler: Dominican Republic
Length: 6.25
Ring: 54
Strength: Mellow-Medium
Smoke Time: 65 Minutes
Lastly, we have the Romeo y Julieta Vintage VIIS Toro. This cigar has become synonymous with perfection, so it is bound to be a popular selection for your humidor once you smoke it.
This 6.25x54 toro has some of the best tobacco in the world encased inside it. Expertly rolled, it features an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, a Mexican binder, and Dominican long fillers.
Any doubts that a lower strength cigar could provide a memorable smoking experience with a rich flavor profile are put to rest with the Romeo y Julieta Vintage. This cigar offers flavor notes of cream, honey, and a slight touch of desert chocolate. Be sure not to skip this cigar in your Cigar of the Month kit.
