- Saint Luis Rey Puritos: tiny and tasty for the coffee break
- Trinidad Reyes: trusty and true, luxury small and meaty cigars that don't disappoint (see for example a recent review by Matt)
- Cohiba Secretos: Much like the Reyes, but even more expensive, 5 year aged tobacco, maduro, from a box dated Nov'08.
- Partagas Shorts: recent arrival, a half corona Partagas classic, and a top quality box to boot. Dated Nov.2010 these are very young with a lovely wrapper and great potential. Leathery beasts balanced out with aromatic woods. Ports, sherries any kind of fortified wines will do.
- El Rey del Mundo - Choix Supreme: the medium-bodied robusto makes a comeback after those great ones we had a year or so ago. The interesting thing about this blend - the citrus flavours. These Oct.09s weren't ready to smoke 6 months ago but hopefully they are coming around now.
We are running low on cigar stocks so remember to let me know if you're going overseas - particularly Australia, Switzerland, or the U.S. - so that we can get you to pick a box or 2 with your duty free allowance...ta!
Had one of these Partagas Shorts last night. They are on the fuller side of medium body and just pure leather. Made me feel like I was smoking an expensive mahogany/leather chair. Satisfying and partagas flavour profile in a nutshell.
