Perdomo Nick’s Sticks Sungrown Robusto

By: Ian Wilcox

HISTORY
The Perdomo Nick’s Sticks Little Havana Blend was released to the masses in summer of 2010 and is a revisited name from the mid 1990s when Nick Perdomo was rolling cigars in Little Havana Miami. The Sticks embody everything that cigar smokers appreciate – a great, well-constructed cigar with good flavor and a modest price. It is available in Connecticut, Sungrown, and Maduro wrappers and in 4 vitolas – Robusto, Toro, Churchill and Torpedo.

Casa Fernandez Solomon

Casa Fernandez Solomon

By: Ian Wilcox

History
The Casa Fernandez is a very attractive smoke with a slightly veined milk chocolate brown wrapper. The construction feels perfect and the cap is well placed. The moderately sized gold band is just fancy enough with black borders and accents and a large red calligraphy F in the middle. This cigar is part of the super premium line produced by Tabacalera Tropical and features a 2006 grade "A" Sun Grown Corojo Wrapper. The Casa Fernandez line is available in six sizes.

The Smoke

La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Matatan

By: Ian Wilcox

HISTORY
Released last year, the Air Bender has the same Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that graces the Double Press and Solomon Cigars. Despite the rumors, the name does not refer to Kung Fu culture or the movie "The Last Air Bender"! Actually, the name was coined for the way the smoke "bends" the air as it leaves the cigar. This elegantly powerful smoke is available in 7 sizes including the famed Litto Gomez chisel shape.

Cusano 18 Toro

By: Ian Wilcox

 

History
Cusano (actually spelled Chiusano) has been manufacturing cigars for 15 years. Originally a financier, Michael Chiusano took a leap of faith and (unlike the vast majority of brands that started in the early days of the infamous cigar boom) Cusano Cigars made it with a strong cult following. They manufacture a huge variety of premium and bundle cigars for every budget. The Cusano 18 is named for some of the filler that has been aged for 18 years and gives the cigar a wonderful mellow sweetness.
