Mike is dreaming of Havana. In his dream it is back in 1958 and he’s staying at the Hotel Nacional and he’s dancing on the floor of the famous club “Tropicana”. The beautiful girl he’s dancing with works for the establishment, she’s wearing those colorful ostrich feathers leaving very little for the imagination. He’s holding a big, fat Montecristo and life is good… By the way, Mike still drives his old Chevy (’62 with the large sharkfins in the back), in short Mike would love to go back in time and if we’re lucky we could all get there when Cuba opens. For the meantime Mike came up with this nice sampler.

That big Montecristo Churchill (7x50) is a perfect start. Loaded with full tobacco flavors of coffee and cream, with complex nutty notes, from wall to wall the Montecristo is a true cigar for the accomplished aficionado.

Mike picked the Romeo y Julieta Churchill (7x50) as the next smoke because he loves this cigar. You can never go wrong with a Romeo Vintage. Mouth watering and sleek with creamy chocolate notes and a dash of whip cream, it just rolls on your palate.

We chose the Lusitania Churchill (67/8 x 50) adds more power and taste of roasted peanuts sweetened with notes of burned brown sugar.

Cuba Aliados Toro (6x53) brings the depth and the spectrum of colors from the Reyes Family in Nicaragua. A hell of a cigar, heavy and superbly constructed to conclude this exotic collection.

At the tail end of this sampler we bring you our favorite, La Flor Del Caney. This powerhouse is rich but smooth with notes of cedar bark and butterscotch to brings this exciting night to a dreamy end.
