The Reserva Especial is dressed in a remarkable Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper providing intriguing complexity of flavors from medium body creamy earthy notes, leather, cashew nuts, sweet natural tobacco & smooth mild pepper on the retrohale.

Sobremesa Brulee by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Toro (6×52) Sobremesa Brûlée by Steve Saka seeks to capture a classic mild cigar experience, but with depth, body & flavors. Featuring an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade G2BW wrapper, a bold Mexican San Andres Negro binder and all-Nicaraguan long fillers blend, the Sobremesa Brulle is not your ordinary Connecticut wrapped cigar. I find the Sobremesa Brulee has deep rich flavor with smooth medium body notes of mild pepper, cream, milk chocolate, cedar, nuts & sweet earthy tobacco flavor. MSRP $13.45 

Black Label Trading Salvation Toro (6×52) Hand crafted in Esteli, Nicaragua at Oveja Negra factory rolled with the finest aged Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, a Honduran binder and finished with a lush Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper.

Black Label Trading has a great full body cigar line up, the Salvation is toward the milder-med end of their spectrum, hope you enjoy! MSRP $10.50
