Here we have an Alonso Menendez Mata Fina Robusto at 5×52 from Cigars of Brazil. It’s a Brazilian puro of Mata Fina tobacco from the northern area of the Bahian recôncavo, but I won’t pretend to understand exactly what that means. 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.

Arturo Fuente Sun Grown Exquisitos
Here we have an Arturo Fuente Sun Grown Exquisitos at 4×30. I have had, and not liked, a couple of Cameroon Exquisitos as well as had, and liked, several Maduro Exquisitos.
