H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar (3 1/2″ x 44) – The H. Upmann Half Corona has now arrived in the UK. This vitola is the last of the three standard size cigars to be released from Habanos S.A. in 2011, joining the Partagas Serie D No.5 and the E No.2. The H.Upmann half corona is creamy with hints of coffee. Small attractive Havana ,good draw, with complex flavours for such a small cigar. An excellent short smoking break cigar.

Davidoff Winston Churchill Petit Panetela The Raconteur Cigar (4″ x 38) – The Raconteur cigar, from Davidoff’s Winston Churchill line, is a Petit Panetela blended to celebrate Churchills’s ability to captivate audiences as he told tales, weaved words and spoke stories. Each anecdote or speech would intermingle creating intrigue, similar to the variety of complex flavours in this cigar. The taste starts with notes of spice and liquorice with an earthiness to it, but then there is an advancement in flavour to reveal a plot of floral and herby notes.

Zino Nicaragua Half Corona Cigar (4″ x 44) – Measuring 4 inches by 44 ring gauge the Zino Nicaragua Half Corona consists of an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and mix of Dominican, Honduran and Nicaraguan filler. The Zino Nicaragua Half Corona is pre-cut and ready to smoke.

Illusione Epernay Le Petit Cigar (4 1/2″ x 44) – Easily considered one of the best cigars being produced today, the Illusione Epernay, created by Dion Giolito, is a balanced and nuanced smoke blended to be sweeter and slightly milder than the original Illusione line. Awarded the #3 spot of Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2011 list, these Nicaraguan puros combine the finest shade-grown Corojo ’99 Rosado wrapper and choice Corojo and Criollo filler tobaccos to deliver an excellent medium-bodied smoke. These cigars are produced in the venerable Raices Cubanas factory, which is also considered one of the best in the industry.

Camacho Machitos Orange (Connecticut) Cigar (4″ x 32) – Camacho Machitos Orange features a Connecticut wrapper atop a blend of Dominican and Honduran long-fillers. Mild to medium-bodied, with spice from the get-go and flavours including cedar and vanilla.

La Invicta Honduran Tres Petit Corona Cigar (4″ x 42) – Made using the finest tobaccos grown in Honduras. Medium strength with a spicy yet hinted with a sweet taste.

Rocky Patel J Cigar (Vintage 1990) (4″ x 38) – Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 J cigars are handmade with a smooth blend of 12-yr-aged Dominican and Nicaraguan long filler tobacco, pressed in dark Honduran Maduro wrappers. Medium-bodied little cigars are delicious, sweet and satisfying smoke.

Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Petit Panetela Cigar (4″ x 38) – For this cigar for the darker hours of the day, Davidoff selected a shiny and oily Ecuador wrapper in a beautiful dark chocolate colour. The two Nicaraguan filler tobaccos grown in the mineral-rich volcanic soils of Condega and Estelí add spiciness and depth of character to the cigars. Especially the Nicaraguan Condega visus tobacco, which was cask-aged in original Scottish first fill single malt whisky casks gives the cigar its mysterious sweetness. An intense multi-origin blend with a full body and robust flavours. The Petit Panetela delights with that same signature complexity in taste as the long-fillers of the line. 

RoMa Craft Intemperance VO 1920 Izzy Einstein Cigar (4″ x 46) – A medium-strength cigar with a creamy, spicy, coffee profile and an underlying sweetness. Its savoury Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed maduro wrapper shrouds a Mexican San Andres binder and a Dominican Republic Corojo and Nicaraguan filler. Handmade in Nicaragua at the Nica Suneo factory, the RoMa Craft Intemperance VO 1920 offers a flavourful yet lighter smoking experience that can be enjoyed anytime of day.  

Jose L Piedra Petit Cazadores Cigar (4 1/8″ x 43) – Unlike most cigars Jose L Piedra Petit Cazadores are made with leaves from the Vuelta Arriba region. The Piedra Family, from Asturias, was established in late nineteenth century in the neighborhood of Santa Clara, in the central part of the Vuelta Arriba region, which historically has been an area of snuff from the sixteenth century. Jose Lamadrid Piedra, the second generation, founded and developed the brand we know today.
