Alonso Menendez Mata Fina

Here we have an Alonso Menendez Mata Fina Robusto at 5×52 from Cigars of Brazil.

This one came to me via our very own Walt, courtesy of Paul Arneson.

La Flor Dominicana Ligero Mysterio

Introduced at the 2006 RTDA in Las Vegas, Litto Gomez has yet again created a stogie that takes a turn from the norm in the form of the La Flor Dominicana Ligero Mysterio.
