Casa Fernandez is a brand that’s fairly new to the market but has made a definite impact in the short amount of time. The Arsenio was introduce at the annual cigar trade show and differentiates itself from the regular Casa Fernandez cigars with a slight addition of Ligero leaf in the filler. The addition of this leaf changes the original blend and creates a medium to full bodied cigar that covers the palate with flavors of sweet cedar, café con leche and a touch of spice.

Hoyo De Tradicion cigars are crafted using proprietary tobaccos from the world’s most revered tobacco growing regions. These cigars have been getting rave reviews since their inception with the Toro Grande being awarded as one of Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2008. A solid medium bodied smoke that has a slight press to it and imparts a complex array of leather, tea leaf, wood and a bit of pepper.
