Like the others in the Ave Maria portfolio, the Divinia features a stunning band and has the quality that people have come to expect from them. Also, this Special Edition Figurado is being released exclusively to The Rare Cigar Club, so you will not be able to get this size anywhere but here! These stunning...

Perdomo Lot 23 refers to a field of special tobaccos cultivated in 2000 when Nick Perdomo planted an experimental crop on virgin land in Nicaragua, which he dubbed Lot 23. This field produced a very small crop of tobaccos. Six years later they were carefully blended to create a unique 100% Nicaraguan puro. An innovator and master blender, Nick Perdomo selected a beautiful Connecticut-seed leaf—glistening with oils and caramel-brown—from the...

The original Aging Room Quattro has quite the reputation; for those who aren’t familiar with it, the cigar was the highest rated non-Cuban on the Top 25 Cigars of the Year in 2013, receiving the #2 spot with an astounding 95-rating. To summarize, it’s a pretty awesome cigar. Never satisfied, Rafael decided to take that cigar – one of his most famous – and wrap it with a Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper. Under this dark and oil-filled leaf...

Made at the esteemed General Cigar Company in Honduras, one of the two largest cigar factories in the world, the Dark Sumatra was blended by Estelo Pardon as a more robust version of the original Hoyo de Monterrey. Introduced in 2002, the Dark Sumatra Media Noche features a deeper and richer wrapper that not only looks more aesthetically pleasing but will have a more interesting and complex flavor profile. This beauty starts with fillers...

Ashton Distributors has owned several cigar brands for more than 25 years. Though there are several other micro-brands out there in the cigar market, there are very few that have been built as well as Ashton’s La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor. The La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Reserva is the follow up to the wildly successful La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor, and it doesn’t feature a drastic overhaul but instead tweaks the existing blend. Handmade at the renowned...

Crowed Heads is a brand that doesn’t do it like everyone else, nor do they plan to. They believe in continuous improvement and in a marriage of tradition with innovation. According to them: “Crowned Heads is influenced by a time when quality, pride, and integrity mattered. We strive to bring our vision to reality and invite you to live in our world. We are not here to do it like everyone else. When the rules don’t make sense to us, we carve our own path.”

Well here’s some good news for you! The Gurkha Blue Steel in your shipment is one of those cigars that wasn’t around forever. It was made just once a few years ago, and there were only 50,000 sticks produced, then it was gone, never to be seen again. But, after talking to our friends at Gurkha, we were able to work with them to bring just enough back for you, our members! You will not be able to find this cigar anywhere else! Hailing from Nicaragua...

The Partagas line was first developed in 1845 in Cuba, a history that suggests any Partagas cigar is going to be a great smoke. Long before Fidel Castro came into power in Cuba, Partagas cigars were hand crafted in Havana under the supervision of Ramon Cifuentes and his father. Ramon Cifuentes was one of the last of the legendary cigar-makers to leave Cuba. He did so in the early 1960s when he discovered Santiago, Dominican Republic and deemed...

Originally a Cuban brand, Perla del Mar is now a unique addition to the J.C. Newman portfolio. Perla del Mar literally means “Pearl of the Sea,” and legend states that some of the earliest explorers to Cuba discovered a golden leaf and named it Perla del Mar. The relaunch of this historic brand comes from the same boutique factory as such top-quality brands as Brick House and El Baton cigars. Hailing from the fertile lands of Nicaragua, this...
