This cigar, aged 3-5 years, hails from the Dominican Republic, continuing the legacy of quality tobacco from the Kelner family, renowned for their work with Davidoff and their own Kelner Cigars, S.A.S. in […]

This brand boasts a rich heritage, traditionally renowned as one of the most coveted Cuban cigars globally. Interestingly, it’s worth noting that the Montecristo brand has a dual existence, with the Cuban version […]

The name “Solita” is derived from the Spanish word for “little sun,” reflecting the cigar’s Sungrown Habana capa cultivated in Ecuador’s cloud-covered valleys. Saka […]
The Premium Cigar Association (PCA) has declared a significant change in its policy by discontinuing media member dues to access the organization’s annual trade show, starting in 2024. Previously, media members were required to pay annual dues of $450, categorizing them as “industry partners,” akin to cigar brokers, distributors, and suppliers. While media members will […]
Crowned Heads has added a new vitola to its Mil Días line, available exclusively through JR Cigar. It’s known as the Mil Días MDP55, aptly named for its dimensions: 5 1/2 x 55.
