Perfecto

It is not only the longest vitola in the line so far, it is also the most limited and the most expensive.

Better late than never for a review of Davidoff’s most recent Zodiac Series release.

It’s the first box-pressed Cohiba. It’s the first Cohiba to use a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. It’s not the first Cohiba to come in a purple box.

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.

Sadly, this isn’t a Philadelphia Eagles victory cigar.

The cigar was created to honor the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhman’s tomb in November 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter and the great-grandfather of Lord Carnarvon, George Herbert, who funded the operation.

After just over two years in the humidor, it’s time to revisit the smaller of two perfectos that Foundation Cigar Co. added to The Tabernacle line in October 2020.

Knuckle Sandwich Cigars might have been the largest surprise of The Consensus 2022. This is the brand’s third blend and its first limited edition.

In 2000, Davidoff celebrated the new millennium with a limited edition collection of cigars. After 22 years, it’s time to fire some up for Holy Grail Week.

Viaje’s newest Japanese-inspired creation is The Geisha, a 6 3/4 x 52 perfecto that comes in two different blends: one is covered in a San Andrés wrapper from Mexico, while the subject of my review incorporates a Corojo ’99 wrapper grown in Nicaragua.

The Avion 13 Tuxtla is the latest in a long line of blends that started with Tatuaje’s Thermonuclear in 2005.
