Full-Bodied Cigars A - E

Remember, these are only cigars that I have personally tried and based on my taste.

Arturo Fuente

These are made in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The filler and binder are from the Dominican Republic and they are made with a Connecticut or Ecuadoran wrapper. Auturo Fuente cigars are medium to full-bodied. The lighter wrappers are Cameroon leaves, while Connecticut leaf is used for maduros.

The Canones has an excellent, smooth draw, is excellently made and a beautiful, oily wrapper.

Cohiba (Cuban)

Made in Cuba with all Cuban tobaccos. Illegal in the United States. Beware of counterfit Cohibas.

Cohiba (Red Dot)

These are made in Santiago, Dominican Republic by General Cigar. The filler is Dominican, binder Indonesian, with a Cameroon wrapper. Also known as Red Dot Cohiba, this is the only leagal brand of Cohiba sold in the United States.

Cohiba (Illegitimate)

Made in Dominican Republic, rather than counterfeit, these are illegitimate Cohiba cigars, since the Cohiba name is trademarked by General Cigar, who has the only legal right to sell in the States, and these don't try to counterfeit either the Cuban or General label. However, there are a lot of counterfeit Cohibas on the market.

Don Tomas

Handmade in Danli, Honduras, Don Tomas has a filler blend of Colombia, Dominican and Mexican tobaccos. It has a Colombian binder. A natural wrapper from Indonesia or a maduro wrapper from Mexico is used to complete the cigar.

Excalibur by Hoyo de Monterrey

Excalibur are the choicest cigars picked from the Hoyo de monterrey line. They have Connecticut Shade wrappers. Binder is also Connecticut and the filler comes from Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua. Very smooth.
