More info about purchasing Gran Habano Cabinet Selection cigars...
Please welcome Kayla, our newest reviewer. She starts with the Gran Habano Cabinet Selection, an old release from the company.
Created by the Rico family in Honduras, the Gran Habano Cabinet Selection Gran Consul is an impressive, meaty stick. The oily Corojo wrapper, the color of burnt sienna, is beautifully complimented by the dark red and silver band. The wrapper leaf is flecked with multiple small veins and a few minor imperfections but is overall very attractive. The length of this six-inch stick is firm and well rolled, finished in a gentle box-press. The cap is thick but messily mounted.

More info about purchasing Illusione 888 cigars...
The Illusione 888 “Necessary & Sufficient” is a Nicaraguan puro Churchill created by Dion Giolito. The name of the cigar is a testament to Giolito’s Christian faith. The number 888 is a numerological representation of the name of Christ. “‘Necessary and Sufficient’ both describes the balance and profile of the cigar,” explains Giolito on his website. “It also represents to not go wanting. He is all I need, He is necessary and sufficient.” The Illusione brand may not be the most globally famous cigar brand, but it still has quite a following, and for good reason. Illusione cigars have a reputation for quality, and the 888 is no exception.

More info about purchasing Nat Sherman Timeless Collection...
The Nat Sherman brand has been around for a long time, ever since the Nat Sherman store first opened up in 1930 in New York City. The store has changed location over the intervening years, but it is still a big name in NYC. Nat Sherman has always been better known for their cigarettes than for their cigars, however, and they have been through some difficult times. But the brand made a come back with several releases like the Nat Sherman Timeless Collection blend. I decided to try the elegant torpedo (No. 2) for myself to see how it measured up to its strong reputation.
