Plasencia Reserva Original Perfectico Cigar – Plasencia Cigars decided to release a short smoke for the wintertime in Europe. The Perfectico is a 3 7/8 x 52 Figurado and it was just introduced at the InterTabac trade show in Dortmund. “It’s an addition to the Reserva Original line and it’s exclusively for the European market,” company CEO Nestor Andrés Plasencia says. “So it’s the same blend, but we created this interesting shape with a pigtail at the end.” The Reserva Original is the company’s organic line, formerly called Reserva Organica, and it’s 100 percent Nicaraguan. The Perfectico is meant for those colder days when you might not want to be outdoors for too long.

Oscar Valladares Super Fly Maduro Super Corona Cigar – Oscar Valladares Super Fly cigars use a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Honduran binder from the Copan region, and premium fillers from Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. Although billed as Oscar’s strongest blend to date, the creamy textured notes of pepper, cocoa, some floral tones, and an overall rich tobacco sweetness, makes it a very palatable cigar for smokers of all experience levels. In keeping with the original Super Fly theme, the bands on each cigar along with the boxes are adorned with the flashy retro 1970’s design from that era.

Experience the next entry into the already historic Family Series by EP Carrillo.
 
Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Robusto Cigar – A very dark and oily robusto with a firm draw. Sweet and nutty notes of caramel and cashew are underscored by consistent woodiness, though the finish is a bit tart.
