Current Featured Cigars - May 2026
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 Villazon name might not ring a bell—but trust me, you’ve smoked their work.

Rocky Patel is known for cranking out high-scoring cigars—but the Cargo line proves he can deliver flavor without the hefty price tag. Think of this as your go-to “anytime” cigar that still feels like a treat. The Torpedo is made in Nicaragua and features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers. It’s a medium-bodied smoke, but don’t let that fool you—it’s packed with flavor. You’ll pick up notes of...

>Ramon Bueso has been in the cigar game for over 40 years, and it shows. From tobacco farming to blending alongside industry legends, the guy knows his craft—and the Genesis Oscuro is a shining example. This Toro is wrapped in a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf Oscuro leaf, with a Honduran binder and a rich blend of Honduran, Dominican, and Nicaraguan fillers. Medium-to-full-bodied, it’s bold without being...

J.C. Newman has been crafting cigars since 1895, and the Brick House line has been a fan favorite for decades. The Double Connecticut version takes that heritage and dials things into a smoother, more mellow experience. This Robusto is made in Nicaragua and features a Connecticut Shade wrapper, Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and Nicaraguan fillers. It’s a mild cigar, but don’t mistake that for boring—it’s loaded with...

This one’s for the bourbon lovers. The Diesel Whiskey Row Raceking is a collab between AJ Fernandez and Rabbit Hole Distillery—and yeah, it’s as cool as it sounds. This limited-edition Toro is handcrafted in Nicaragua and features a unique twist: the Nicaraguan binder is aged in Rabbit Hole Raceking bourbon barrels. Wrapped in an Ecuadorian Habano leaf with Nicaraguan fillers, this is a full-bodied powerhouse that...

The name says it all—Dark Knight is bold, rich, and just a little mysterious. Blended by AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua, this Robusto is a full-flavored Nicaraguan puro wrapped in a dark maduro leaf that looks as good as it smokes. Clocking in at a strength level of medium to full bodied, this cigar opens with punchy notes of spice and leather before settling into a smooth, decadent finish of dark chocolate. It’s powerful, but impressively...

Montecristo doesn’t mess around, and the Monte Jacopo No. 2 is proof. This Torpedo takes a classic name and gives it a modern twist with a more complex, layered blend. Built with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and a unique dual-binder setup (Dominican and Nicaraguan Corojo), this cigar delivers a depth you don’t always see. Inside, aged Dominican fillers round things out for a medium-to-full-bodied experience. Flavor-wise...
