The Tobacco Exchange 50th Anniversary
AJ Fernandez
ADVentura
Founded in 2016, ADVentura is a relatively new company, but one that certainly came out of the gate swinging. A collaboration between the son of a former Davidoff master blender and a swiss sommelier, ADVentura has achieved some of the highest ratings a new company has ever achieved. Stop by a Tobacco Exchange near you, and try one of the best new cigars on the market.
Aganorsa
One of the largest agricultural conglomerates in Central America, Aganorsa’s cigar division is equally impressive. Known specifically for their variations on Corojo wrapper tobacco, Aganorsa cigars are sure to please the palate looking for intense flavor. Also under the Aganorsa umbrella are brands such as JFR and Lunatic, both known for delivering large ring-gauge cigars packing great flavor at a great price.
Aladino
The Eiroa family has been growing tobacco since the early 20th century in Cuba, and until recently had mostly been known for their tremendous success with the Camacho brand of cigars. That changed in the 2010s when master blender Julio Eiroa and his son Justo introduced the cigar world to a masterpiece, The Aladino. Utilizing the best Corojo tobacco in the world, and now expanded to Connecticut, Habano, and Cameroon wrappers, The Aladino is the quintessential classic Cuban-style cigar. The Eiroa family was kind enough to invite us to their agricultural compound in Honduras, and we value their friendship and partnership greatly.

From the ashes of Nat Sherman Cigars rises the phoenix of Ferio Tego. Michael Herklots has resurrected the Sherman blends we were afraid we’d never get to taste again. In addition, Ferio Tego offers some truly phenomenal small batch blends as limited edition releases.

H. Upmann
The rumor goes that, before the Cuban Embargo was to go in effect, JFK tried to gather every H. Upmann cigar in the District of Columbia. This storied brand is perfect to light up for an afternoon or evening of relaxation.
HVC
With an eye on classic Cuban cigar flavors, and utilizing the ample fields of Aganorsa tobaccos, HVC has spent the last few years as one of the most promising newcomers in the cigar business. Be sure to try their tasty Hot Cake blend, as well as all their wonderful offerings.
Jake Wyatt Cigars
JC Newman
One of the companies that truly blazed the trail for cigar production in North America, Newman works closely with Arturo Fuente to produce great lines such as Brickhouse, Diamond Crown, Julius Caeser, and Black Diamond, as well as reasonably priced bundle cigars like Quorum.
Joya De Nicaragua
Nicaragua’s first cigar factory has been on a run for the ages in recent years. It is hard to remember one company producing so many highly-rated cigars in such a short span of time. The Cuatro Cinco, the Antaño CT, The Joya Silver, The Cinco Décadas, and the Numero Uno have all collected countless awards in just a few year’s time. You’ve simply got to try them.
