Le Patissier – PCA Exclusive by Crowned Heads
This is one of those cigars we went all the way to Las Vegas to get our hands on. This Lonsdale was one of half a dozen cigars that were only available to stores that went to the PCA convention in the summer. Now, way later in December, here it is for you to enjoy. It’s called Le Pâtissier, French for pastry chef and it uses a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper over a binder from Jalapa, Nicaragua and fillers from Costa Rica, as well as the Ometepe and Pueblo Nuevo regions of Nicaragua.
Oliva 135th Anniversary
Celebrating the 135th anniversary of when Melanio Oliva first grew tobacco, establishing the Olivas as a tobacco family, Oliva has released a limited edition Serie V. This unique cigar has the same blend as the regular Serie V but features a round cap and a slight taper running down the lower third of the cigar. This was a limited release so once they are gone, that’s the end of them.
Alec Bradley Trilogy
The Alec Bradley trilogy makes its return since it was discontinued in 2010.

Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto Natural back in stock!

David and Goliath and 5th Anniversary by Foundation Cigars!
Foundation Cigar Company’s Tabernacle cigar embodies founder Nicholas Melillo’s long-time passion and intimate experience with the Broadleaf varietal – made even deeper by his connection, as a native son, to Connecticut soil. Out of reverence for the tobacco leaf, and tobacco tradition, the brand is named for the hallowed sanctuary of Hebrew scripture: The Tabernacle – which housed the Ark of the Covenant before the building of the Temple of Solomon. For Foundation’s latest release, a two-size extension to the Tabernacle line, Melillo has again drawn on biblical inspiration to represent his life in tobacco and his commitment to the […]
