The Arturo Fuente Magnum R44 isn’t a cigar you’ll find online for sale as Fuente has a strict policy about this stick only being available inside a brick & mortar. This is something I applaud as I have always preached to support your brick & mortar. According to the official website for Fuente Cigars the wrappers used on this line are grown in Ecuador and aged for nearly a decade. How does that translate to […]
Cabaiguan by Tatuaje gets its name from a municipality and town in the province of Sancti Spiritus, Cuba. The town was founded in 1894 and is best known for its cigars. In addition to a small cigar factory the town also has a oil refinery and a prison. As for the cigar it was released in 2004 and was originally made at El Rey de los Habanos in Miami, FL before production was moved to […]
While I know we just reviewed an EPC cigar on Friday, I am opting to review another one today. The EPC La Historia was released in 2014 by Ernesto Perez Carrillo. If you don’t know the name, you should as he created La Gloria Cubana from a small factory in Miami, Florida back in 1990. In 1999, he would sell his business to General cigar before leaving them in 2009 and starting up EPC Cigar […]
The ring gauge of a cigar is based on 64ths of an inch. So, 50 is 50/ 64, 52 is 52/64 and so on. So, with 3 sizes in the line all bordering on the inch mark, I guess the name only made sense. Larger ring gauges were at first thought to be a novelty but they grew in popularity much to my own personal dismay. Today we light up the E.P. Carrillo Inch and […]
On this weekend’s show we will welcome back host David Garofalo from the Tobacconist Association of America meetings that just concluded in La Romana, Dominican Republic. One of the items we found out while he was down there was that the La Flor Dominicana TAA 50th Cigar will be based on the Oro blend, however the filler will contained Criollo ’99 under the Nicaraguan Sun Grown Habano wrapper. It’s been a long time since I […]
Today we light up the Davidoff Selección 702 Limited Edition which was the first cigar back in 2009 to feature the 702 wrapper from Ecuador. To celebrate Davidoff’s 50th Anniversary the company has released these cigars in a limited quantity once again. Will they perform as the original release did? Will these too become a highly sought after collectible? Here are our thoughts on this highly anticipated stick. Cigar Review: Davidoff Selección 702 Limited Edition Wrapper: Ecuador Habano […]
On today’s episode of The Cigar Authority we lit up two cigars, both which were part of the Care Package for the month of April.

Cigar: Yellow Jacket by Perdomo Wrapper: Maduro Binder: Nicaragua Filler: Nicaragua Length: 5″ Ring Gauge: 50 Size: Worker (Short Torpedo) The Look: The Yellow Jacket by Perdomo features a similar band that reminds you of caution tape with […]
La Gianna is cigar named after the daughter of our own David Garofalo and today we light up the Maduro version. It’s a classic Maduro built around sweetness versus the modern Maduro which is built against strength. Cigar: La Gianna Maduro Wrapper: Ecuador Binder: Honduras Filler: Honduras Length: 6″ Ring Gauge: 54 Size: Toro The Look: The wrapper is evenly colored and milk chocolate in color. There are some creases from the veins and the seams are visible on the roll. The wrapper has […]
Supply and Demand, two import words in business. Unfortunately, La Flor Dominicana has had supply issues with the Oscuro and Maduro wrappers, but thankfully demand remains strong. For months, retailers across the country have had back order issues and customers have been waiting for their favorite cigars to arrive. Now the wait is over and to celebrate we light up the La Flor Dominicana L300 Oscuro as La Flor Dominicana is once again flowing to […]
