Astral Perfeccion

Torpedo

Honduras

7" x 49

The brand of cigars was first introduced back in 1995, which took more than three years of planning to produce. It is constructed of aged Cuban seed long- leaf Nicaraguan and Dominican long-filler and a beautiful, shade grown Connecticut seed wrapper leaves grown in the famed Jamastran valley of Honduras. Consistently superb construction, medium to full-bodied flavor, and creamy smoke. Astral is a majestic looking cigar, characterized by its consistently great construction and handsome appearance. It is one of the best Honduran cigars on the market. Medium to full-bodied in flavor. The wrapper was very nice and the burn was very even. There was definitely some woody flavor but it comes across smooth.

Flor de Carbonell 1909

Churchill

Dominican Republic

7" x 49

Flor de Carbonell is a special limited edition vintage version of the regular Carbonell line made in the Dominican Republic. This is a beauty, and it's been aged for over 5 years. A vintage Dominican puro made from leaves all originating from the same farm, it offers an ultra smooth Dominican wrapper and aged all Dominican long-filler. If you enjoy mild cigars with some sweetness, I promise you’ll fall in love with this brand. Quite simply, this is a great-tasting smoke. Rolled in the Dominican Republic since 1907, Carbonells are unique because of their naturally sweet taste. The sweetness comes from the Carbonell sweet leaf, which gives it an incredibly smooth, mild taste and rich aroma. Carbonell is not widely available, but those who try them always stay with the brand. If you like pleasant, mild cigars with a sweet touch, then Carbonell is a must to sample.
