Tatuaje Roxy L’Atelier Roxy Maduro - Single
The L’Atelier Roxy is a new vitola for the original L’Atelier and L’Atelier Maduro lines, this 3 1/2 x 50 petit robusto is a tribute to one KC Johnson’s beloved dog’s Roxy, Because she was known to have two very different personalities, Tatuaje decided to offer this new vitola in the original L’Atelier and L’Atelier Maduro lines in boxes that feature 10 cigars of each blend.

The Maduro is a medium-bodied blend rolled in Honduran Maduro wrappers. These blends are mixed-filler combos of Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers from Rocky’s top tobaccos bunched in a Honduran binder.
Brick House Robusto Havana Subido Wrapper (NFD) - Single
Brick House cigars first came on the scene in 1937 when production began in America using 100% imported Cuban leaf. The Embargo saw the end of these cigars along with many other brands that used pure Cuban leaf. Then in 2009, JC Newman resurrected the brand using Nicaraguan filler and Ecuadoran grown Havana Subido seed wrapper.
The cigar is packed full of sweet spices and woods. A little pepper comes into play at the halfway point, but on the whole, it's a cool and creamy cigar. Not too strong for a novice and enough flavours to act as a mid-day smoke for the more seasoned Nicaraguan smoker.
Jose L Piedra Petit Cazadores - Single
Fantastic cigar for the price. Slightly peppery taste and an ideal alternative to Montecristo and the stronger Nicaraguan & Mexican cigars.
La Invicta Honduran Maduro Corona - Single

Quorum Shade Robusto - Single
A more recent extension to the Quorum range that uses a shade grown Connecticut wrapper which adds a gentle spiciness to the ensemble. an ideal cigar for a beginner as it is not too full-bodied.
Quorum Churchill - Single
A dark and brawny cigar with hints of leather and cinnamon. This is a medium bodied smoke with a cedar finish.
Abeja Cigars Juliany Robusto (NFD) - Single
Made using the finest tobaccos, these relatively inexpensive cigars offer a medium weight smoke that have a touch of earthiness to them. The Maduro has a slightly sweet, soft spicy note just on the finish.
Colibri SV-Cut Two-in-one V-Cutter Black
The SV-Cut Cigar Cutter is a two-in-one combination of the insanely popular Colibri V-Cut and S-Cut cigar cutters.
The SV-Cut conveniently combines the V-Cut and S-Cut into one amazing cigar cutter without giving up any functionality or ease of use. The V-side of the SV-Cut uses the same blade as the original V-Cut and provides the identical clean 'V'. The depth of the 'V' is easily regulated by holding the cigar head a bit further out—so cutting a smaller wedge out of Lanceros or Figurados is just as easy.
On the S-side (straight cut), the aperture is slightly larger and could accommodate up to a 68-70-ring cigar. The cut is governed to 3mm.
The trigger release for both blades is located on the V-side. The ergonomic shape and spring-loaded blades make cutting with either side almost as much of a pleasure as smoking the cigar itself. Both sides of the body are textured with a pachmayr pattern for a sure grip.
