Altadis U.S.A.

A Reserva Real Nicaragua is getting the barberpole treatment.

The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante is priced at $150 per cigar. No, we don’t factor price into scores.

The Te-Amo brand has been around for nearly six decades, and while it once dominated retail humidors, it has fallen in popularity over the years. Now, Altadis U.S.A. is bringing it back with a new look and a focus on its position as the original cigar to use San Andrés Valley tobacco.

Where is my HODL cigar?

A little more than three years after the release of the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua, a milder blend that was in contention for that release was released under the Edición Diamante name.

It is the first new line from Aging Room in a year-and-a-half.

Big companies like Altadis U.S.A. typically shy away from barber pole cigars, but last year the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real got a pair of new barber pole cigars.

The name comes from the German word for barber.

Altadis U.S.A.’s Romeo y Julieta Envy Amulet Toro is a Nicaraguan puro that is made at the Plasencia Cigars S.A. factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

A year of rest has had a dramatic effect on the profile of the Montecristo Espada Signature Valiente, making it a better cigar in just about every way.

The Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 2 Toro is the second release in a line that debuted three years ago commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Trinidad brand.
