It can be difficult to resist a comfort zone of the familiar when choosing
a cigar. Major players in the world of premium cigars earn loyalty with
consistency and quality, but by sticking to your favorite, you might miss out on
new cigars that embrace standard techniques and characteristics while broadening
the spectrum of the experience.
Take Camacho’s Corojo line comprising seven
shapes, with an additional three shapes in more limited production. Made with
tobacco grown on Camacho’s own farms in the Jamastran Valley of Honduras, there
is an earthiness to the full-bodied smoke, rounded out with hints of spice and
leather.
Joya de Nicaragua has experienced a rebirth over the last few years
with the release of its Antaño. The flavors—coffee, cocoa, and chocolate, along
with traces of cedar and licorice—combine classic Nicaraguan characteristics.
The new Celebracion smokes with a bit more finesse and forgiveness.
La
Flor Dominicana celebrates its 10th anniversary with the LG Diez. Litto Gomez
has joined the rarified ranks of cigar makers to successfully grow a Dominican
wrapper to finish off this Dominican puro. The cigar smokes spicy yet balanced,
with tones of cinnamon, pepper, and earth obvious throughout. The flavor and
strength build cautiously—but consistently—throughout the smoke and beg you to
relish every last puff.www.caribeimportedcigars.com
