Cuban Cabinets

The Bolívar Petit Corona is hardy little cigar. These are not intensely strong cigars, but remember that Bolívar are often stronger than the rest.

For anyone looking for a mild introduction to Cuban cigars, the Bolívar Petit Coronas are a perfect choice. New and seasoned smokers alike will enjoy the flavors of coffee, cocoa and semi-sweetness these cigars deliver.

Almost a Robusto, but be careful-although the difference is subtle, its gauge is slightly lower and, on the other hand, it is 3 mm. longer (1/10 of a inch). Those who confuse it with a Robusto notice that tiny difference and then attribute its smoothness and different draw to the quality of the tobacco. Nothing could be further from the truth, since this Habano from El Rey del Mundo has its own consistency and, along with the qualities of its blend, the small variations in its format make it a suitable cigar for any time of the day. Enjoy its magnificent balance and its rare proportions.

With their limited production, the H. Upmann Magnum 46 is a rare and exotic gem… a trophy meant to adorn any aficionado’s humidor. This cigar embodies the tradition and experience of one of the oldest cigar manufacturers. Old Havana comes to life under this cigar’s classic tobacco flavors. Spiced wood overtones create a pleasant aroma and easy to enjoy taste. This corona gorda from H. Upmann is flawless in every way.

The Magnum 50 is a new vitola to the H. Upmann line-up and perfect to round off an already wholesome line of fine Cuban cigars. Released into full production after its immense success as an Edicion Limitada in 2005, this double robusto is so rich and complex it takes a true aficionado to really appreciate. H. Upmann Magnum 50s are a powerful smoke with a flawless draw. Creamy, silky smoke with a slightly sweet aroma make this double robusto a must own. Comment: To smoke an H. Upmann Magnum 50 properly you must have ample downtime. This cigar can take long, long time… perfect for meditation and personal reflection.

Another cigar to accurately represent Hoyo de Monterrey’s sweet, sophisticated line of mild Cubans. This fine robusto is excellent, excellent, and excellent, with a smooth, even burn and a splendorous mix of pleasing flavors. The sweet overtones of dried fruits and cacao with a note of cinnamon for extra pep liven, but don’t distract from the delicious flavor of Cuba’s finest tobacco leaves.

Sophistication and elegance characteristic of the Juan Lopez line, the Juan Lopez Selección #2 is pleasant, easy going and delicious. There are such an enticing variety of flavors in this savory cigar: deep leather and peppery tones enriched with sweet vanilla, caramel and floral essences… a combination that appeases to the interests of new smokers and aficionados alike.

Delicious is the adjective that best fits Partagas Shorts. As the cigar name suggests, Partagas Shorts provides only a short smoke. Approximately 15 minutes, but what a great 15 minutes it is for this Habanos cigar.

One of the best Cuban marevas – a great balance between quality and price. A very tasty cigar which loads the palate with caramel, sugar, salt and nuttiness and also shows some cedar notes. Ready to smoke out the box, this smooth Por Larrañaga will leave you feeling very relaxed.

This Corona Grande is one of the best on the market. Once aged for a few years, its rich, elegant, creamy and strong character can be fully appreciated. Taste-wise, it is typically Punch, with some spice, coffee, chocolate and nougat tastes emerging in the second half of the smoke.

This robusto from Ramon Allones is, along with the Cohiba and the Partagas, a member of the most select trio of this format. It has neither the strength not the hardness of the Cohiba, but it does have a rare and special charm that gives it genuine personality. The Colorado wrapper has that brown tone that corresponds to the restful and generous qualities of its blend.

This cigar has a subtle and complex aroma, flavors of coffee and a mellow sweet taste of chocolate and dark honey. It starts off very smooth and honeyed and the flavor grows as the smoke progresses, with hints of earth and cedar coming through. All the flavors are perfectly balanced in this Habano.

The Serie A is considered to be medium in strength with very well-balanced flavors such as liquorice, honey, cedar and chocolate that stay consistent to the end. However, the more aged cigars also reveal some earthy, espresso and dark chocolate notes. The incredible spicy aroma makes this a pleasure to smoke.
