Up first, we have the Aging Room La Boheme Poeta. This cigar, named for an opera, was created by world renowned blenders Rafael Nodal and AJ Fernandez. This is the first time either of these industry giants have used a hybrid Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. This wrapper is what changes up the flavor profile of this decade-long line.
This cigar includes cured Nicaraguan tobacco that interplays perfectly with the chocolate brown wrapper, giving flavors of peppery spice, cocoa, leather, and wood. Considered one of the best cigars of the year, the La Boheme is an excellent addition to your humidor.

Next, we have the Crowned Heads Blood Medicine B+. This limited edition toro is a new spin on the beloved favorite Blood Medicine. This one keeps the same interior blend but adds a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper for a meatier profile.
This toro includes Nicaraguan filers with an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed binder. Smoking this will give you tastes of pepper, charred oak, roasted legumes, and sweetness that will linger on your palate. If you missed out on this limited cigar this year, you’re in luck because now we’ve included one in your kit.

This cigar also features a sweet tip to give you some flavor right when you put the cigar in your mouth, while smoking, you may detect some creaminess at first before the flavor moves to sweetness, all while you get some flashes of pepper. This cigar is one you don’t want to miss.
El Mago Cigars Triunfante
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Ecuador Connecticut
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Corojo
Length: 6
Ring: 52
Strength: Mellow-Medium
Smoke Time: 55 Minutes
El Mago Cigars was created by Nicholas Fusco to honor his grandparents. Their ability to overcome their struggles is where the Triunfante line gets its name from. “Triunfante” is the Spanish word for “triumphant.” Handmade in Nicaragua, this 6x52 cigar includes Nicaraguan filler with a Corojo binder and an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper. It will give you a mellow-to-medium-bodied snoke with some flavor notes of nuts and spices.
Oliva Serie V 135th Anniversary Edicion Limitada
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Length: 5.5
Ring: 54
Strength: Medium-Full
Smoke Time: 50 Minutes
Finally, we have the beautiful Oliva Serie V 135th Anniversary Edicion Limitada. This cigar is meant to commemorate the 135 year-long history of the Oliva family. Immediately, you’ll notice the unique baseball bat shape to this stick, which has a tapered foot instead of a cap.
For its binder and filler, this cigar features a blend of specially fermented Nicaraguan ligero tobaccos that were grown on the Oliva family farms. The wrapper is top-shelf Ecuadorian Habano that has been grown in Ecuador’s mountains. While ligero tobacco tends to be strong, the tobacco in this stick has been aged enough to temper the strength. In this medium-to-full-bodied smoke, you’ll taste some coffee, wood, cocoa, and sweet spice notes, and the flavors only get more pronounced when the burn reaches the full width of the cigar. This anniversary cigar is truly a special cigar to round out this month’s box.
