The cigars in this selection
Blackbird Cuco Criollo Corona
Moderate
15.2cm
Peppery
A very nice bird in its chocolate-coloured Brazilian plumage, with very visible veins. The leaf is taut, almost hard, and slightly dry to the touch. The ring catches the eye with its attractive bird relief, with "Cuco" in large and "BLACKBIRD" in capitals. We selected Blackbird Cuco Criollo Corona for its atypical Brazilian, Indonesian and Dominican blend.
Raw, the print is fairly resistant. find out more...

Moderate
18.4cm
Woody, Chilli
A tribute to the La Palma tobacco factory, founded in 1936, this range is an ode to the ancestral know-how of the Dominican Republic. A love of the land and a respect for tradition that, 90 years after the factory opened, continues to delight the most demanding afficionados.
Tasting note
The ignition is intense. The first puffs reveal a complex blend of wood and spice with a light creaminess. find out more...
