Have a Cigar: Paradiso Revelation Odyssey

Name: Paradiso Revelation Odyssey

Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Parejo

Size: (5 3/4 inches x 60)

Strength: Medium

Some cigars are made in paradise. The Paradiso Revelation Odyssey is one of them. It’s an aromatic, medium-bodied, Nicaraguan cigar that will find a place in your heart no matter who you are.

Cocoa, coffee, earth, and leather are the prevailing notes, but hints of cinnamon, hazelnut, white pepper, and even oak can be detected.

I smoked the Odyssey vitola for the first time at a wedding. I paired it with a twelve-year-old Scotch whisky, and I was more than happy with it. I can confidently say that it’s one of my favorite cigars of 2022.

Name: La Aroma Del Caribe Mi Amor Valentino

Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Parejo

Size: Gordo (6 inches x 60)

Strength: Medium to Full

Here’s a Nicaraguan cigar that will impress newbies and cigar aficionados alike. We’re talking about bold flavors of dark cocoa, dried fig, and espresso. Here and then, notes of almond, black pepper, and blueberry also come to the surface to flirt with your palate. And this allows us to call the La Aroma del Caribe Mi Amor Valentino an aromatic cigar.

I have tried another vitola of the Mi Amor before, but I believe it’s the Gordo size, the 60 ring gauge, that made my last experience near perfect.

Will I smoke another Mi Amor Valentino? The answer is yes.

Madatoff Armenian Brandy, Montecristo cigar, and Hegel. Can I ask for more?

Have a Cigar: Montecristo No. 2

Name: Montecristo No. 2

Country: Cuba

Shape: Torpedo

Size: (6 1/8 inches x 52)

Strength: Medium to Full

The Montecristo No. 2 is a classic. It’s a spicy Cuban cigar with hints of leather and earth. A lot cigar aficionados I’ve met list this cigar in their top ten, and many of them smoke it regularly.

My go-to Montecristo vitola is the Petit Edmundo, but sometimes, when I’m home alone, I like to smoke the No. 2. You can find me disconnected from the digital world, blowing out smoke, nursing a drink while reading a thick volume.
