Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

Vin Lee, CEO of the Beverly Hills Cigar Club, has put together an interesting list of cigars for Father's Day this year...

Five Recommendations:

1. CAO America Monument Pinstripe Torpedo
The wrapper on this cigar consists of two leaves arranged to deliver a pinstriping effect. One is a golden brown Connecticut Shade, and the other is a chocolate brown Connecticut Broadleaf. The filler comes from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and the United States.

2. Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur V EMS Lonsdale
The Excalibur has Honduran tobacco grown from Cuban seed. Lee suggests, "Let Dad light up the Excalibur as an aperitif to a big steak at Morton's and glass of warm bourbon preferable Woodford Reserve."

3. Alec Bradley Maxx The Culture Habano Toro
According to Lee, the Alec Bradley Maxx line provides a full flavor and balanced body by using strong upper leaf tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras, Colombia, Mexico and Costa Rica.

4. Oliva Serie V Torpedo Sungrown
Thick and smooth as silk, this impressive leaf conceals a powerful, yet balanced and smooth blend of aged Nicaraguan ligero from the Jalapa Valley of Nicaragua. The smoke is full-bodied and full-flavored, offering layers of coffee, spice, and tobacco flavors, with a touch of dark, unsweetened chocolate on the finish.

5. Macanudo Robust Portofino Natural Lancero
This cigar includes a blend of triple-aged premium long fillers from three countries, shrouded in a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and wrapped in Connecticut Shade leaf. The result, according to Lee, is a smooth and even cigar that delivers complex flavors consistently throughout.

I thought you were supposed to give Dad good cigars on Fathers day?

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

Agreed... only one on the list I would really want would be the Oliva V. :dr

lmao!!!

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

The Excalliburs are fantastic cigars, but probably a bit better in maduro.

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

Very odd.

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

I like the MAXX and the V's. THe others I could do without, but to each his own. :tu

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

You only like the MAXX because it rhymes with Bax, Tim. ;) :r

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

Funny how tastes go. I can't see me smoking anything on that list.
It is a pretty well picked assortment that covers a lot of ground. I'm sure lots of guys would enjoy that fiver. I'd enjoy them all if the kids got them for me. :)

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

I wouldn't.


Of course it would have a lot more to do with "Where the frack did these damn kids come from?" than the mediocre cigars.

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

:r
I'd smoke any of 'em on fathers day, but I've never smoked any of those so it would be nice to try.

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

Exactly, I would have to have kids first too. :r

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

Let's start our own list!!!

Instead of the CAO America - I say, Camacho Liberty (any year).

Instead of Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur - I say, Hoyo de Monterrey Churchill (CC)

Instead of AB The Culture - I say, PAM (any year)

I agree with Joe, the V can stay!!!

Instead of the Magnadoodle Portofino Lancero - I say, Illusione Holy Lance!!!:tu

x2

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!
 

I don't know what it is about the MAXX cigars, I always get a headache. I really enjoy the Tempus and some of the other blends are interesting to me but no headache after smoking those. Go figure.

That said, I want a new list. :r

I smell a bomb in your near future, especially being summertime and all.
You might wanna run out for a couple gallons of milk. :tu

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!

Re: Beverly Hills Cigar Club - Father's Day Recommendations!

Maybe Eric could drop off the Cup though. :)
