For the first time, a new blend is being added to the Viva La Vida line from Artesano Del Tobacco! Rolled at the AJ Fernandez factory, Viva La Vida has been a staple for anyone who enjoys a spicier, stronger Habano from Nicaragua. The spotlight it has received on social media is we earned. Now, […]
One of the most underrated cigars in the industry is the Stolen Throne Crook of the Crown Toro. This is one of those cigars that I instantly fell in love with just in the first third of smoking it. At the shop, we are always on the lookout for quality blends in the boutique world. […]

For April 2023, there is no exception. The return of Skull and Bones is here, but slightly different. […]
