Current Featured Cigars - Sept 2025
Our 9-member Cigar Rating Panel smokes over 200 cigars a week, rating each for proper construction, appearance, aroma, smoke volume and flavor profile. We smoke a lot of bitter, harsh, improperly aged and poorly constructed cigars so you don’t have to! Less than 5% of those considered ever make it to you.

The result of that bold step is a brand built on passion, experience, and a commitment to fine craftsmanship.

Punch has been delivering powerhouse smokes since its Cuban beginnings in 1840, and the Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua proves the brand is still pushing boundaries. Handmade in Honduras at the HATSA factory, this cigar swaps out the traditional all-Honduran blend for a daring recipe that layers Nicaraguan binder and long-fillers beneath a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The result is a robust, medium-to-full-bodied smoke that delivers...

The Graycliff Cigar Company launched in the late 1990s, rolling cigars by hand in the resort foyer before expanding into international recognition. Today, the G2 Maduro Pirate continues that tradition of craftsmanship.

Its balance of richness and...

Few cigars embody craftsmanship and patience like the Encore Majestic by E.P. Carrillo. After the success of his acclaimed La Historia, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo set out to create something even more ambitious—a cigar made entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos. Every leaf, from wrapper to binder to filler, is grown in Nicaragua’s rich soils of Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa. Aged in the traditional tercios method, where tobacco is wrapped in royal...
