Starting out as tree resin, amber hardens and fossilizes over the course of millions of years before it’s pulled out of the ground. The Dominican Republic is famous for its amber, and the Puro Ambar in your shipment today is inspired by pure Dominican amber. This Dominican puro (meaning all the tobaccos are from the Dominican) starts with a T13 wrapper that is exclusive and one of kind. This T13 wrapper encases a wine fermented Criollo ’98...

This is one of the finest cigars produced by CAO. It is a limited edition of only 6,000 boxes to be sold in the United States.

Graycliff '1666' was crafted to celebrate the resort's more than 350-year history. This rich, redolent beauty sports a dark, toothy Costa Rican maduro wrapper.

The result is a perfectly balanced cigar with a smorgasbord of unique flavors and mouthwatering aromas. Look for deep, smooth, notes of black...

We bring you this powerful, full-bodied and extraordinarily flavorful beauty from the cigar capital of Nicaragua, Esteli. Handmade under the eye of Nestor Plasencia, the blend is cloaked by a dark and fragrant Nicaraguan habano wrapper. Thick and oily, this leaf—which oozes flavor—is a marvel to look at. The true power of this cigar comes from its long-leaf combination of extensively aged, all-ligero binder and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua.

The Sobremesa marks the return of former CEO of Drew Estate, Steve Saka, and his new company Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust.

Light it up and you’ll find evolving flavors of nougat, spice, coffee...
