The Catalog
90 cigars with verified dimensions, wrapper origin, strength and release detail — each record sourced and confidence-tagged rather than presented as settled fact. Where a maker has not disclosed a blend component, that is stated outright instead of guessed.
AVO Classic Robusto
The original 1988 AVO blend built with Hendrik Kelner, using an Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut-seed wrapper over Dominican Olor binder and Piloto filler; mild by design.
AVO Syncro Nicaragua Special Toro
Debuted August 2015 as AVO's first Nicaraguan-leaf blend, mixing Ometepe-grown Nicaraguan filler with Dominican and Peruvian leaf under an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper; made at O.K. Cigars in the Dominican Republic.
AVO XO Intermezzo
Part of the after-dinner XO series; adds more spice and complexity than the base AVO Classic line while keeping the same Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper family.
Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro
The first all-Nicaraguan puro in Aging Room's Quattro line and the first Quattro blend made outside the Dominican Republic - a collaboration between Boutique Blends founder Rafael Nodal and Nicaraguan factory owner A.J. Fernandez, rolled at Fernandez's Esteli factory. Vitola names across the line (Maestro, Vibrato, Concerto, Espressivo) follow a classical-music theme. Named Cigar of the Year for 2019 at 96 points.
Alec Bradley Black Market Toro
A darker, spicier value-priced line using a Jalapa-grown Nicaraguan wrapper, Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, and an unusual Honduran-Panamanian filler blend; rolled at the Plasencia factory in Danli.
Alec Bradley Prensado Gran Toro
Alec Bradley's breakthrough blend, named for the double-pressed fermentation applied to its Honduran wrapper leaf rather than a box-pressed shape; took Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year in 2011.
Alec Bradley Tempus Toro
One of Alec Bradley's earliest higher-end lines, rolled at Raices Cubanas in Danli under an oily Honduran wrapper with a Honduran-Nicaraguan filler blend.
Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente
The original robusto-format Chateau vitola, sold in Natural, Maduro and Sun Grown wrapper options; the base blend recipe is not published by Fuente.
Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark
A demi-press belicoso - box-pressed at the foot, tapering to a round-capped head - part of Fuente's Shark shape family, and a genuine Cameroon wrapper, an increasingly rare leaf. Released in 2015 and again around 2016 as a tribute marking what would have been Carlos 'Don Carlos' Fuente Sr.'s legacy; filler tobaccos reportedly aged at least ten years. Named Cigar of the Year for 2017 at 97 points; largely allocated and hard to find at retail since.
Arturo Fuente Don Carlos No. 3
The corona-format entry in Fuente's flagship premium line, first blended in 1976 to honor Carlos Fuente Sr.; the Cameroon wrapper is well documented, but Fuente keeps the binder and filler recipe proprietary.
Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story
A stubby perfecto and the smallest vitola in the Hemingway line, popular as an after-lunch smoke; the Cameroon wrapper is confirmed, though Fuente does not publish binder or filler origins.
Ashton Classic Corona
The original 1985 Ashton blend that launched the brand, made under contract by the Fuente family; Connecticut shade wrapper over aged Dominican filler keeps it mild.
Ashton ESG 22 Year Salute
Wrapper grown at the Fuente family's Chateau de la Fuente farm; nicknamed 'the Velvet Hammer' for strength that builds gradually. Ranked No. 8 on Cigar Aficionado's 2014 Top 25.
Ashton VSG Robusto Especial
Uses a cloud-grown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper from Oliva Tobacco Co. with a distinct purple hue; released July 2011 as part of the VSG line's expansion.
Bolivar Royal Corona
A robusto-format Habanos vitola from one of Cuba's boldest, most ligero-forward marcas - Bolivar is widely regarded among the strongest brands in the Habanos portfolio. Founded around 1901-1902 by Jose F. Rocha and named for independence leader Simon Bolivar. Named Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year for 2006 at 94 points.
Camacho Connecticut Toro
A smoother departure from Camacho's traditional bold house style, pairing an Ecuador-grown Connecticut-seed wrapper with a Honduran Corojo binder over Honduran/Dominican filler.
Camacho Corojo Toro
The blend that re-established Camacho after the Eiroa family's 1995 purchase, built entirely on Honduran-grown Cuban-seed corojo from the Jamastran valley.
Camacho Triple Maduro Toro
Marketed as the world's only all-maduro cigar, with maduro-processed wrapper, binder and filler tobaccos; the Toro measures 6 x 50, not the 6 x 52 sometimes listed for other Triple Maduro vitolas.
Casa Magna Colorado Robusto
The debut release of a new collaboration between Dominican maker Manuel 'Manolo' Quesada and Nicaragua's Nestor Plasencia, an upset win that beat established heavyweights for 2008's Cigar of the Year and converted Casa Magna from a single line into its own standalone brand within the Quesada portfolio. MSRP has risen substantially since the roughly $5.50 launch price.
Cohiba Behike BHK 52
Smallest ring gauge of the three-vitola Behike range and the mildest of the three; built around medio tiempo, the leaf found atop only some plants, and finished with the line's signature pigtail cap.
Cohiba Black Gigante
General Cigar's darker, sweeter-smoking Cohiba, built around a Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper rather than the Red Dot line's Cameroon leaf.
Cohiba Esplendidos
The largest Linea Clasica vitola and long treated as Cohiba's benchmark Churchill; a fixture of Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 lists across multiple decades.
Cohiba Nicaragua N54
A departure from Cohiba's usual Dominican-centric blends: an all-Nicaraguan-tobacco interior under a Honduran Jamastran wrapper, rolled at STG's Esteli factory.
Cohiba Red Dot Robusto Fino
A shorter, narrower vitola than the standard Red Dot Robusto; the African Cameroon wrapper over Piloto Cubano filler is the same recipe General Cigar introduced in 1997.
Cohiba Siglo VI
Added to the Siglo range in 2002 as its largest ring gauge; also offered in an aluminum tubo, and one of the vitolas most associated with the Behike-era Cohiba style.
Creature From Tatuaje
The Monster Series' first-ever full-size standalone release of the Creature blend - the format Pete Johnson originally intended when the character debuted only as a 48-ring-gauge sampler exclusive in the 2021 Monster Mash. An all-Nicaraguan puro perfecto, rolled at My Father Cigars S.A. in Esteli and limited to 7,000 boxes of 10 (a break from the Monster Series' usual 13-count coffin box). Counting every full-size, Redux, and sampler variant since The Frank launched the line in 2008, this is officially the 101st Monster Series release. Shipped to retailers mid-June 2026, ahead of the line's traditional Halloween-season timing; strength rating not yet published by the manufacturer.
Crowned Heads Four Kicks Robusto
Crowned Heads' debut blend, made by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo at Tabacalera La Alianza; the name and imagery are drawn from a Kings of Leon song.
Crowned Heads Jericho Hill OBS
Crowned Heads' first release made outside the Dominican Republic, rolled at My Father S.A. in Esteli under a Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper.
Crowned Heads Las Calaveras Edicion Limitada 2024 LC52
The 2024 edition of Crowned Heads' Day of the Dead-themed annual release, limited to 1,500 boxes of 24 plus a small sampler run, made at My Father Cigars in Esteli.
Davidoff Nicaragua Box-Pressed Toro
The box-pressed format of Davidoff's first all-Nicaraguan-tobacco line, drawing filler from four separate Nicaraguan growing regions.
Davidoff Winston Churchill
Named for the British statesman and Davidoff devotee; a five-country blend built around Mexican San Andres binder under an Ecuadorian Rojiza wrapper.
Davidoff Yamasa Robusto
Built around wrapper grown in Davidoff's Yamasa valley, a region the company spent years developing before it could reliably produce usable leaf.
E.P. Carrillo Encore Celestial Toro
A Nicaraguan-puro expression within the Encore line, reviewed by Cigar Aficionado in June 2022 at 90 points. The base Encore line is rolled at Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic, but the exact factory for this Celestial edition is not confirmed in available sources.
E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic
Ernesto Perez-Carrillo's first cigar blended exclusively with Nicaraguan tobacco, a departure for a maker known for Dominican-forward blends, aged in tercios wrapped in royal palm bark before rolling. The Encore line's vitola names reference Perez-Carrillo's grandchildren. Previewed at the 2016 trade show but held back roughly eighteen months for wrapper aging before its 2018 release; named Cigar of the Year for 2018 at 96 points.
E.P. Carrillo La Historia TAA 656
A Tobacconists' Association of America exclusive within the La Historia line, limited to 1,000 boxes of 10; pairs a Mexican wrapper with Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and Nicaraguan filler.
E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel
Launched September 2020 and rated 98 points by Cigar Aficionado; uses a rare Connecticut-grown Habano-seed wrapper over Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan filler, box-pressed at Tabacalera La Alianza.
Foundation Charter Oak Connecticut Rothschild
Foundation's value-priced line, made at an AJ Fernandez factory in Esteli; the closed-foot Rothschild uses an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper over an Indonesian binder, unusual for a Nicaraguan-made cigar.
Foundation El Gueguense Corona Gorda
Foundation's debut blend, named for a UNESCO-recognized Nicaraguan folk drama; built on Corojo 99 wrapper and binder from Jalapa with Esteli and Jalapa filler, rolled at TABSA.
Foundation The Tabernacle Broadleaf Toro
A dark, full-bodied line pairing Connecticut broadleaf wrapper with a Mexican San Andres binder and Nicaraguan filler; earned a 94-point score from Cigar Aficionado.
Fuente Fuente OpusX Double Corona
The longest regular OpusX vitola; delivers the line's leather, coffee and earth profile over a longer, cooler smoke than the Robusto.
Fuente Fuente OpusX PerfecXion No. 2
An all-Dominican puro grown at Chateau de la Fuente, the first estate to grow commercially viable wrapper leaf outside Cuba and Connecticut; the pyramid shape is one of OpusX's most sought-after allocations.
Fuente Fuente OpusX Reserva d'Chateau
A Churchill-format OpusX vitola introduced in 2007 that took Cigar of the Year honors sixteen years later, in 2023. Grown entirely at Chateau de la Fuente in Bonao, Dominican Republic - one of very few farms outside Cuba ever to successfully grow Cuban-seed wrapper leaf, planted by Carlos 'Carlito' Fuente Jr. starting in 1991 on land previously thought unsuitable for wrapper. OpusX remains tightly allocated; MSRP shown reflects the original launch price rather than current secondary-market pricing.
Fuente Fuente OpusX Robusto
The workhorse vitola of the original 1995 OpusX release; scarcity of the estate-grown wrapper keeps allocations and street prices well above other Fuente robustos.
H. Upmann Half Corona
A quick petit corona format and one of the steadiest sellers in the Habanos catalogue; commonly sold in tins of five.
H. Upmann Magnum 46
Placed on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 in 2004; historically shipped without an individual cigar band, unusual for a regular-production Habanos line.
H. Upmann Magnum 50
The wide-ring companion to the Magnum 46, generally rated milder and more approachable than most Cuban Upmann formats.
H. Upmann No. 2
A Habanos pyramid predating Cuba's 1960 nationalization, still hand-rolled at the Jose Marti factory in Havana - the former H. Upmann factory building. The brand itself dates to 1844, founded by German banker Hermann Upmann; ownership passed to Menendez y Garcia in 1937, the same family behind Montecristo. Named Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year for 2022 at 98 points.
Illusione Epernay Le Matin
Released June 2010, a milder box-pressed line built on Nicaraguan Criollo and Corojo filler under a Cafe Rosado wrapper; made at Raices Cubanas in Danli, Honduras.
Illusione Original Documents 88 Habano Robusto
Part of the numbered 88 series within Original Documents, built on Aganorsa-grown Nicaraguan habano leaf and rolled at TABSA in Esteli.
Illusione ~hl~ (Holy Lance) Natural
One of Dion Giolito's original Illusione formats, released 2008; originally rolled at Raices Cubanas in Danli, Honduras. Illusione later shifted most Original Documents production to TABSA in Esteli, Nicaragua, so current-production factory location is uncertain.
Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Consul
An all-Nicaraguan puro built with a darker, thicker Criollo wrapper meant to recall the flavor of the company's original 1960s Clasico blend.
Joya de Nicaragua Cinco Decadas El General
Released to mark Joya de Nicaragua's 50th anniversary; the company has said only that it used some of its best Nicaraguan tobacco, without publishing a full wrapper/binder/filler breakdown.
Joya de Nicaragua Numero Uno L'Ambassadeur
A tapered-foot lonsdale-style shape and the mildest of Joya's modern core lines, wrapped in delicate Ecuadorian Connecticut shade over a Nicaraguan interior.
La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull
A tapered figurado released July 2016, built from filler grown on La Flor Dominicana's own Estancia La Flor de Palma; scored 90 points by halfwheel.
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel
Uses the brand's signature flattened, blade-like Chisel head, which concentrates the smoke; built almost entirely on Dominican ligero, the strongest priming leaf. Ranked No. 13 on Cigar Aficionado's 2018 Top 25.
La Flor Dominicana Ligero L-500
A wide-ring member of the original Ligero line under an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper; typically cut with a V-cut given its thick cap.
Montecristo Edmundo
Rolled at the H. Upmann factory and introduced in 2004 to give the thin classic line a wide-ring modern format; recent production shows more spice and coffee than the milder early releases.
Montecristo No. 2
The brand's pointed pyramid and arguably the most famous vitola in Cuban cigars; the tapered head channels smoke and concentrates the blend's leather and coffee notes.
Montecristo No. 4
Widely cited as the best-selling handmade cigar in the world; the Mareva size keeps the blend approachable while still showing the house's leather and cedar character.
My Father Flor de las Antillas Toro
An all-Nicaraguan puro with a rounded box press; consistently one of the highest-rated Garcia-family blends since its 2012 release.
My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo Box-Pressed
Named for Jose 'Pepin' Garcia's father's birth year; the only Le Bijou 1922 vitola offered box-pressed, over a dark Cuban-seed oscuro wrapper the Garcias call 'oscuro.'
My Father No. 1
The Garcia family's own-name flagship, pairing homegrown Nicaraguan filler and binder with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper from Oliva Tobacco Co.
My Father The Judge Grand Robusto
Named for a family friend who is an actual judge; blended by Jaime and Jandy Garcia to run more full-bodied than the standard My Father line. Built from three Garcia family farms - La Bonita in Jalapa, El Pedrero in Esteli, San Rafael in Condega - with the Grand Robusto specifically about three-quarters Esteli leaf. Won the Garcias' third Cigar of the Year title, after Flor de las Antillas (2012) and Le Bijou 1922 (2015).
Oliva Serie V Double Robusto
The original Serie V line that put Oliva's premium tier on the map in 2006, built on an Ecuadorian Habano sun-grown wrapper.
Oliva Serie V Maduro Toro
Swaps the standard Serie V's Sumatra wrapper for a sweet, spicy San Andres maduro leaf over the same Nicaraguan-ligero-heavy filler.
Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado
A distinct vitola from the catalog's existing Serie V Melanio Torpedo (6.5x52) - the Figurado is box-pressed and double-ended, tapering to a point at both head and foot, at a wider 54 ring gauge. Released alongside the rest of the Melanio line in August 2012. Despite Oliva placing on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 for nine consecutive years, this was the brand's first-ever Cigar of the Year win, taking the 2014 title at 96 points.
Oliva Serie V Melanio Torpedo
Named for company patriarch Melanio Oliva; layers a well-aged Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over Jalapa-heavy Nicaraguan filler for more complexity than the standard Serie V.
Padron 1964 Anniversary Torpedo Maduro
Introduced for Padron's 30th anniversary in 1994 and still one of the most decorated Nicaraguan blends made; the maduro wrapper is aged noticeably longer than the natural version.
Padron 1964 Anniversary Torpedo Natural
The sun-grown natural-wrapper counterpart to the Maduro version of this same torpedo - same 6x52 box-pressed vitola, same Nicaraguan-puro blend aged roughly four years, different wrapper leaf. The 1964 Anniversary line pioneered mainstream box-pressed cigars when it launched in 1994. Named Cigar of the Year for 2021, Padron's fourth win and 16th Top 25 appearance in the award's first 17 years.
Padron 3000 Maduro
Part of the original Padron Thousand Series; widely regarded as one of the best value maduros on the market thanks to Padron's long aging program.
Padron 60th Anniversary Perfecto
Padron's fifth Cigar Aficionado Cigar of the Year win, a record, and only the second perfecto shape the company has ever released commercially - round and tapered rather than Padron's usual box-press. Rolled in small batches by a single pair of specialists; released in both Natural and Maduro wrappers, with the Natural version scoring the award-winning 97 points.
Padron Family Reserve No. 45 Maduro
Launched September 2009 to mark the 45th anniversary of Padron's founding, built on tobacco reported to be aged up to ten years - the top of the brand's already-premium Family Reserve tier. Padron's third Cigar of the Year win in six years, taking the 2009 title at 95 points. No longer in regular retail distribution.
Padron Londres Maduro
A slim corona-format vitola from Padron's original core line, dating to the company's 1964 founding; often cited as one of the best budget-priced maduros available.
Padron Serie 1926 40th Anniversary Torpedo
Released in 2004 to mark Padron's 40th anniversary as a company (founded 1964) - an original run of about 400 boxes of 40, split between Natural and Maduro wrappers. Once that limited run sold out, the blend continued on as a standing item in Padron's regular lineup, now sold in 20-count boxes. Named the very first Cigar Aficionado Cigar of the Year in 2004, at 93 points.
Padron Serie 1926 80 Years Maduro
Released to mark Jose O. Padron's 80th birthday; individually numbered with a second band, and rated 94 points by Cigar Aficionado as its No. 2 Cigar of the Year for 2008.
Padron Serie 1926 No. 2
A belicoso-shaped vitola from the 1926 line, which uses tobacco aged five years; ranked among Cigar Aficionado's top cigars multiple times.
Padron Serie 1926 No. 9 Maduro
Named Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year in 2007; a wide-ring short vitola built to concentrate the 1926 blend's power.
Partagas Culebras
Three culebra-format panetelas braided together and banded as one, sold only through La Casa del Habano and Habanos Specialist retailers. 'Culebra' is Spanish for snake. The format dates to before 1960, originally a roller's daily ration shaped so it could not be passed off as regular stock; Partagas reintroduced it as a totalmente a mano (fully hand-rolled) edition in 2007. Meant to be untied and shared - one of three identical panetelas per smoker - rather than smoked as a single unit.
Partagas Lusitania
A 1995 blend change softened this double corona from a very powerful smoke into today's milder, creamier profile; dimensions were also trimmed slightly from the pre-1976 50 x 184mm format.
Partagas Serie D No. 4
Cuba's original wide-ring robusto and the size most credited with popularizing the shape internationally; consistently one of Cigar Aficionado's top-rated Habanos.
Partagas Shorts
A Minuto-format short smoke that punches well above its size; a favorite for showing Partagas's characteristic strength in under 30 minutes.
Rocky Patel Decade Toro
Released in 2008 to mark Rocky Patel's tenth year in business; rolled at the El Paraiso factory in Honduras under an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper.
Rocky Patel Sun Grown Toro
A long-filler Honduran-made line under an Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper, positioned below Decade and Vintage in Rocky Patel's price ladder.
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Toro
Built on wrapper leaf held for extended aging before rolling, the release that established Rocky Patel's aged-wrapper reputation; exact original release year is inconsistently reported across sources.
Romeo y Julieta Churchills
The Julieta No. 2 shape that gave the vitola its English name; rolled at the Briones Montoto factory as a Cuban puro from Vuelta Abajo leaf. No legal US retail price exists due to the embargo.
Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills
Launched in February 2006 at the 8th Habano Festival to give the brand a true robusto-format cigar; Habanos lists it at 124mm x 50 ring gauge, almost identical to the standard Robustos vitola.
Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills
Introduced by Habanos in 2010 at a notably fat 55 ring gauge, described in the launch press release as shorter and thicker than the classic Churchill.
Tatuaje Black Label Private Reserva Corona Gorda
A Nicaraguan-sun-grown-Criollo puro made at the Garcia family's My Father factory; deliberately dialed back from other Black Label vitolas to sit mid-pack in strength while staying full-bodied.
Tatuaje Cojonu 2003 Reserva Broadleaf
The stronger, bolder counterpart to Tatuaje's core lines; pairs an oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with Nicaraguan filler from the Garcia family's own farms.
Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles Robusto
An all-Nicaraguan puro rolled with Cuban-style construction, including a triple cap, at the Garcia family's My Father factory in Esteli.
