Enjoying a great cigar is one of the greatest, and yet interestingly, simplest pleasures in life. You need nothing but a spot of time and perhaps some solitude to properly enjoy one, and that time spent among the mild vapors of choice tobacco is oftentimes the best time of all.

Spend a little time unwinding with a quality cigar and you can unwind while you practice reverie or introspection. Without a little time to clear the mind and put everything into its place in the greater picture, everything suffers. A good cigar and a few moments of downtime can put you in the right frame of mind.

Time spent smoking and unwinding isn’t only time for unfettered musing, though. It is time spent sipping up the little pleasures of the senses. A cigar can be powerful as sun baked earth, or as gentle as a hint of cured leather. It can be as piquant as white pepper or as mild as the wafting notes of clove from the kitchen. Within every good cigar dances a cohort of flavors in perfect harmony, waiting to be released by a flame. Ephemeral but unforgettable, the pleasures of smoke are tantalizing, complex and stimulating.

If that’s not enough reason to try out some of these following  premium cigars for sale, then we don’t know what is. Each of these cigars below has been selected on several merits, ranging from quality of construction, to cold draw to the notes within the body of the smoke. Additionally, each of them deserves its own time to be able to develop and to be respected for the colorful arrangement of flavors it offers. If you appreciate fine tobaccos and have never tasted these cigars, make it a point to give them each a tasting at least once.

My Father La Opulencia Super Toro

A beautiful hand rolled oscuro cigar, My Father’s La Opulencia line is one of a kind. Their La Opulencia Super Toro deserves its own wealth of recognition, however, as it is a work of beauty in image and in flavor. Deep, dark red brown with its Mexican San Andres wrapper and filled with Nicaraguan filler, this cigar is perfect for a long, relaxing, drawn out smoke. It is grounded in heavy, earthy, chocolatey notes that are not without their accents of lighter spices. The effect of this juxtaposition is striking, and this is certainly a cigar that deserves to be enjoyed at least once.

Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Churchill

Here is another cigar that requires a fair spot of time to be set aside to enjoy it properly. If you do give it the time it deserves, you’ll be very glad you did. Though this massive, 7x50 cigar presents a medium bodied smoke, it is so full of flavor you’ll want for nothing. In a world where Alec Bradley Cigars are considered ultra premium, this one is among the cream of the crop. It offers a near perfect draw and even burn, and a complex balance of flavors. Not entirely earthy, it also offers notes of leather and wood, as well as some sweeter notes of dried fruits. Don’t miss a chance to try out this wonderful selection of the Alec Bradley line.

Romeo Y Julieta 1875 Belicoso

This interestly named cigar is perhaps one of the most immediately recognizable cigars in the world. Few other cigar makers can lay claim to the widespread fame and adoration that is the undisputed due of Romeo Y Julieta.

This particular cigar, with its Indonesian Sumatra wrapper and Domincan filler, is slightly lighter on the palate than the other cigars that we have explored so far. That being said, it is more than likely one of the most common ‘first cigars’ in the world. If you’ve never had one, get yourself one, enjoy the cold draw, punch it and light it up. It will endear itself to your senses very quickly with its gentle nutty flavors of wood and earth. If you have one, it will be unlikely to be your last.

Cohiba Connecticut Robusto

The Cohiba Connecticut line of Cohiba Cigars is one of the newer additions to a storied and classic line of amazing tobaccos. If you are interested in a curious balance of flavors, try out a Cohiba Connecticut Robusto. It’s a Colorado Claro, though it isn’t as light or as green as some other Claro cigars, and it offers quite a twist of flavors with its Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and mix of fillers. Among them are Mexican, Brazilian and Nicaraguan tobaccos, as well as those from the Dominican Republic.

These cigars offer notes of oak and cedar, as well as a balance of a multitude of spices. There are also elements of cream and nuts inherent to the body of the smoke. Overall, it’s a dazzlingly complex blend that offers a lot to appreciate.

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Perfecto

Rocky Patel produces some of the finest cigars in the world, so picking out a single cigar out of which to make a suggestion is very difficult. It should be said rather that an effort should be made to honor any Rocky Patel cigar with a tasting whenever the opportunity presents itself.

That being said, Rocky Patel’s Vintage 1990 Perfecto is a star among stars. Medium bodied but replete with notes of nuts and rich sweets, the Vintage 1990 is a great cigar to enjoy slowly despite its small size. Pair it with your favorite sharp drink and be amazed at how the flavors of each balance out the other.

Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage Churchill Sungrown

Perdomo, like Rocky Patel, or any of the makers on this list, is among the elite cigar makers in the world. Like Rocky Patel cigars, you should give yourself an opportunity to taste a new

Perdomo whenever you have the chance. That being said, start with a Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage Churchill Sungrown when you get the chance. Or, alternatively, take a chance and defy the odds - taste it anyway.

These cigars are made from vintage tobaccos that have been aged for 10 years in a bale and then aged an additional 2 years in wood barrels. The resulting tobaccos produce some of the finest, most complex cigars the world has yet seen.

All of the cigars in this line are supreme, and while the Connecticut version is somewhat creamier, the Sungrown is spicier and earthier. They both deserve a try - start with this one if you appreciate a powerful smoke, or with the Connecticut if you prefer subtlety. Both are simply excellent. 

Macanudo Maduro Diplomat

This Macanudo is another cigar that presents an amazing complexity and balance of flavors. You might expect from the look of it that it would offer nothing but heavy, earthy, woody flavors that announce themselves boldly from a mile off. That’s not entirely the case with this cigar. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper is one of the darkest out there, and the cigar is filled with double fermented Cuban-seed Dominican and Mexican long filler tobaccos. That produces a finished cigar that is at once powerful, but with somewhat toned down notes. In its portfolio of flavors you will find a signature sweetness along with the mingling richness of coffee. This cigar also offers an excellent construction, so although it is small, you can expect a very enjoyable smoke from it. Give it a try and you’ll be glad you did. You might even find a new preference.

Gurkha 125th Anniversary XO Gordo

Gurkha is a well known producer of excellent cigars that has a long and storied history. Named after the Gurkhas of Nepal for the fondness for them held by the English Colonial troops, its name and history are equally famous.

Gurkha’s 125th Anniversary XO Gordo is a great representation of their brand if you’ve never had the pleasure of sampling a Gurkha before. Medium bodied but densely flavored, these cigars are nutty, sweet and spicy at the same time. Hand rolled with a Brazilian Cubra Habano wrapper and filled with a mixture of Ecuadorian, Nicaraguan, Brazilian tobaccos as well as tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, these cigars are complex and have a personality that is hard not to love. Expertly rolled, they also happen to be very pleasant in the hand as well.

Padron Family Reserve 50th Natural

Padron is fully vertically integrated, which gives the family full control over the production of the cigars they offer, and it starts well before the cigars are even rolled. They have a hand in the production of the tobacco and the aging long before their cigars are even produced.

This box pressed beauty is a fine representative of Padron quality, and is peppery and herbal on the nose. This cigar might even be called deceptively powerful. Its spiciness only develops as the cigar progresses, introducing strong notes of woods. If you’re looking for a very powerful cigar in a slightly smaller package, this might be it. That being said, make sure you give this cigar plenty of time to develop. Don’t rush the smoking experience.

Montecristo Original No. 2 Torpedo

Here’s a medium bodied cigar that offers a wonderfully pleasant experience. It’s hard to take a pick of a single Montecristo to illustrate the brand and in some way any is as good as the next, but the Montecristo Original No. 2 Torpedo is a great choice to take a dive into the experience.

This cigar is spicy and peppery from the outset and develops with subtle notes of vanilla and nuts as the smoke progresses. There’s nothing overbearing or overpowering about this cigar, but it does not lack in the least for flavor. Delicately balanced and satisfying, it is a great selection for any smoker who appreciates a cigar that excels at the suggestion of flavors rather than forcibly impressing them. On top of that it offers a really delicious and pleasant room note, so if you’re looking for a line that will endear itself to company, this is a great cigar to try.

Arturo Fuente Opus X Double Corona

The Arturo Fuente Opus X Double Corona is one of the most highly and consistently rated cigars the world over. It is well regarded in just about every respect that can be afforded to a cigar. It is pleasant to behold and to hold, offers an excellent construction and superb burn and it presents flavors like no other throughout the course of the smoke.

It is a very complex cigar that will offer, in some form or other, notes of nuts, spices, sweetness, woods, earth and leather. There is very little that a palate could appreciate that this cigar lacks, and best of all, this cigar blends these flavors expertly. It might seem like an ungainly combination, but it is anything but that. There’s little sense in reading too much about what is best experienced. Consider picking up some of these cigars from our site and trying them for yourself. There’s very little about the experience not to enjoy thoroughly.
