So what's new in the world of cigars at Gauntleys I hear you ask? Well, the long and the short of it all is ...quite a bit! Over the last 7 or 8 months, we have been tentatively taking on some new and quite interesting sticks. So that you can see what we have, we have collected them all together into this little corner of our website for you to peruse at your leisure.

The EPC Cigar Company Pledge Soljourn - Single

52
Dominican Republic
RING GAUGE
Medium - Full

The EP Carrillo Pledge is the third release in the highly-rated Perez-Carrillo Series, which includes the #2 La Historia which pays tribute to the Perez-Carrillo family’s history in the tobacco industry, and the #1 Encore, which was dedicated to Carrillo’s grandchildren. The Pledge is dedicated to cigar aficionados. It also embodies Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s promise to his fans to “never stop working with the best tobaccos and bringing new and innovative blends† Featuring a unique Connecticut Havana wrapper, a leaf that Ernesto had become fond of during the early '80s. This wrapper has been combined with an Ecuadorian binder and all-Nicaraguan fillers, with the recipe being finalised with a box-press. The resulting experience lives up to the high expectations of Perez-Carrillo cigars, offering a medium/full intensity and long-lasting complexities of red pepper spice, hickory, candy-covered chocolate, aromatic botanicals, nougat, and a dark underbelly of ripe stone fruit.

Due to the very short supply of the Pledge Prequel, we have temporarily taken on this Toro size version to plug the gap.

Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co Leaf By Oscar Maduro Robusto - Single

50
Honduras
RING GAUGE
Medium - Full

LEAF by Oscar cigars represents perhaps one of the most exciting developments in premium cigar smoking to come along in quite a while. Developed by Oscar Valladares at his boutique factory in Danli, Honduras, each LEAF cigar represents a deep connection between the land on which the tobaccos were grown and all of the people who contributed to its production. Even the bands are made by a company local to the factory using organic agave to craft the paper. Instead of cellophane, the Torcedors have laid each stick inside of a leaf of tobacco for ageing and protection.

These are medium to full-bodied with great intensity. Deep and earthy with notes of dark bitter chocolate, coffee and some gentle spice on the finish. Sublime!

Aging Room Quattro Maestro Nicaragua - Single

52
Nicaragua
RING GAUGE
Full

The story of Aging Room revolves around a central character who had no idea he was headed for the cigar business: Rafael Nodal. It's a timeline of transitions, partnerships and collaborations that ultimately lead to the creation of the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro, Cigar Aficionados 2019 Cigar of the Year.

But first, we rewind back almost 40 years ago to 1980 when Nodal came to the U.S. from Cuba as a refugee on the infamous Mariel boatlift. With no background in cigars, Nodal sought a career in music that brought him to New York City, then to Miami where he embarked on a more practical career in healthcare. There he met his future business partners Hank Bischoff and Dr Alina Cordoves (now his wife).

Nodal's foray into the cigar world was slow. In 1998, he and his partners began selling cigars online, and in 2002 they took over the Habana Cuba Cigar Co., a struggling company with a mediocre portfolio of forgettable cigars. For a while, the business situation was looking quite grim. Not one to be easily discouraged, Nodal explored the concept of producing cigars in small batches. In 2011 he came out with a new brand called Aging Room Small Batch M356. He also changed the name of his company from Habana Cuba Cigar Co. to Boutique Blends.

The first Aging Rooms were made by Jose 'Jochy' Blanco in the Dominican Republic. (Blanco is also a partner in the brand.) The cigars scored well in Cigar Aficionado, and the Presto size was named in the 2011 Top 25. Nodal got his first taste of critical success - and he kept going. Today, you'd be forgiven if the name Aging Room creates a bit of confusion. There are a lot of different Aging Rooms made in different factories. The crowning achievement, however, is the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro made by AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua. The cigar is essentially Nodal's vision, crafted by Fernandez with his distinct tobacco and signature factory style. Every last leaf in this blend is Nicaraguan and every puff is an overture of flavours that's at times heavy and rich with notes of dark chocolate and wood, and other times, subtle and understated with hints of fine caramel and toasted almonds. In musical terms, the word for this box-pressed torpedo would be dynamic.

Nodal is still an artist at heart and cigars continue to be his creative outlet. If the birth of Aging Room was his breakthrough, consider the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro to be his masterpiece.

Romeo Y Julieta Mille Fleurs - Single

42
Cuba
RING GAUGE
Medium

The Romeo y Julieta Mille Fleur shares its dimensions and blend with the classic Petit Corona vitola found within the brand. Measuring 5 1/8 (129mm) x 42 ring gauge, the cigars are Tripa Larga Totalmente a mano (long-filler handmade) and presented in labelled boxes of 25 and 10 cigars.

The Mille Fleur has been produced in Cuba for over half a century although up until 2002, it was offered as a machine-made cigar. The French name translates into English as thousand flowers and, as you would expect with such a name, it is a cigar with a generous floral bouquet.

Romeo y Julieta is one of the most loved and respected Habanos brands with its elegant, medium-bodied aromas blended from some of the finest tobaccos grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.
