a brand whose portfolio also includes the Ecuadorian Habano wrapped Debonaire Habano and the Connecticut Shade wrapped Debonaire Daybreak (surprisingly not named the Debonaire Connecticut).
These popular premium handmade cigars are rolled in the Dominican Republic using a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper.
Inside there's a secret blend of binder and long-filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, delivering the richness and hearty flavor you'd expect from a Maduro cigar.
Supplied in a choice of several good-sized Vitolas in boxes of 20, order yours from Cigars.com today and experience everything a premium Maduro cigar has to offer.
Brand overview
Debonaire House Cigars was founded by Philip S Zanghi II, who was also behind the Indian Tabac Company that went on to be Rocky Patel Cigars.
Debonaire House is small-batch cigars, with a strong focus on delivering a consistent taste in every stick and construction that bears all the hallmarks of boutique cigar craftsmanship.
In Debonaire House, Zanghi aimed to produce the perfect cigar. But far from creating just one, he came out with three: the Maduro, Habano, and Connecticut Shade sticks all available on Cigars.com.
All three wrappers hold the secrets of Dominican Republic and Nicaraguan binders and long filler tobaccos which have been carefully aged for maximum flavor.
With a strong profile that spans the medium-full range, Debonaire House is a delight for experienced cigar smokers and for beginners too. The smooth, creamy Debonaire Maduro is a great starting point and can be bought in boxes of 20 from Cigars.com.

Cold Draw
After clipping the cap, savor the aromas of the cold draw. Debonaire Maduro offers the distinctive taste of the Maduro wrapper, delivering sweetness and hints of pepper. That Maduro sweetness will remain a continual presence throughout the smoke, helping the other flavors to bloom to their full potential. All that's left is to light up and embark on a two-hour journey to maduroville.
Flavor profile: first third
Early on, Debonaire Maduro's natural sweetness is joined by rich cocoa powder and peppery sparks, bringing to mind the thick, syrupy chocolate of South America. Cocoa takes the foreground for much of the first third and can be detected on the retrohales too if you want an even fuller flavor.
In the second inch, the Maduro wrapper is there in the background, while that signature blend of Debonaire tobaccos comes to the fore. The cocoa is joined by an earthy quality, again conjuring images of drinking thick chocolate outdoors, a sky full of stars shining down through the canopy of trees.
Flavor profile: second third
As the earthy quality comes through even stronger, Debonaire Maduro really starts to dance in the middle third, a waltz of cocoa, earth, and pepper against the steady rhythm of Maduro sweetness. Nutty moments and crumbs of graham cracker emerge from time to time too, making for an interesting journey that is coherent without becoming boring.
Flavor profile: final third
Moving into the last two inches, Debonaire Maduro loses some of its sweetness, developing more earth and pepper. This feels like its final form and stays mostly unchanged through the rest of the stick, with the retrohales allowing you to experience more or less of the Debonaire signature blend.
A reliable burn line takes Debonaire Maduro right down to the nub, which is cool and well packed - a fitting finish to a smoking experience that is both rich and pleasurable but does not feel overly challenging throughout.
Conclusion
If you've never tried a Maduro cigar, Debonaire Maduro is a great place to start. If you've smoked maduros before, this is still an excellent option, adding that sweetness to the Debonaire hallmark filler tobaccos.
Best of all, you can add a box of Debonaire Habano or the Connecticut Shade Debonaire Daybreak (or both!) to your next Cigars.com order and compare the different wrapper types directly.
