AJ Fernandez Amar – Toro (6 x 56)
From the ashes of the fire at the AJ Fernandez factory last year comes Amar.
Oscar Valladares The Oscar Maduro – Toro (6 x 52)
THE Oscar indicates there’s only one Oscar. But there’s two, a Habano and a Maduro. Should there only be one?
Oscar Valladares The Oscar Habano – Toro (6 x 52)
Real question, did Oscar Valladares go to school in Ohio? Because he made THE Oscar, just like THE Ohio State University. Just curious. š¤
Oscar Valladares Heaven & Hell Oscuro – Toro (6 x 52)
The cutout wings… yeah, I know… not my thing either. That’s the part they need to send to hell, lol. š
Oscar Valladares Heaven & Hell Claro – Toro (6 x 52)
Does the Oscar Valladares Heaven & Hell Claro send you to heaven?
Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico (Papas Fritas) – Corona (4.5 x 44)
When you have good French fries, it’s impossible to have just one. Does the same apply to the Drew Estate Papas Fritas or should the scrap tobacco have been thrown into the scrap bin?
Crowned Heads Moonflower – Corona Gorda (6 x 46)
The moonflower is a night blooming flower that symbolizes the hidden beauty that emerges in darkness and the power of quiet transformation. Will it be your muse?
Avowed Awakening White – Robusto Grande (5.5 x 52)
The Avowed team have been playing the long game and sprung two surprise variants of the Awakening on us. With the same ASP Ecuadorian Connecticut 2016 Vintage wrapper of the New Dawn, does the Awakening White let its light shine on you still?
Avowed Awakening Black – Robusto Grande (5.5 x 52)
The Avowed team have been playing the long game and sprung two surprise variants of the Awakening on us. The Awakening Black comes with the same Ecuadorian Corojo 2021 Vintage wrapper as used on the Hallowed Hands. Does it work or will it leave your heart feeling as dark as the wrapper?
Pariah No. 39 (Red) – Super Toro (Box Press) (7 x 60)
Daniel Lance said that āPariah is not about fitting in.ā Will the No. 39 Red, with its nine-tobacco blend and 7″x60 size, satisfy your tastes and fit into your regular humidor rotation?
