Cameroon L’Anniversaire Rothschild : (114 mm x 50 ring gauge) The Cameroon L’Anniversaire Rothschild by CAO has remained one of the most consistently highly rated cigars from Nicaragua. Whereas most cigars use two or three filler leaves, L’Anniversaire utilises four in its blend; this results in an unmatched flavour consisting of sweet coffee and caramel, a combination of flavours to delight even the most discriminating of connoisseurs. - Submitted by 'El Habanero' on May, 2007

Brazilia, Gol!!: (129 mm x 56 ring gauge) A real hybrid, this one. Made in Honduras and sporting an attractive Brazilian arapicaca wrapper from Bahia, the Gol boasts a Nicaraguan binder and filler topped off with a band replicating the Brazilian national colours. You can almost hear the football commentator screaming the word “goal” at the top of his voice. The Gol’s white ash creates a striking contrast to the rich, dark hue of the wrapper, while the overall effect is of spices and nuts mixed with tobacco to create an almost sensual confection. Different and engaging, this is the perfect antidote to the jaded palate. Recommended. - Submitted by 'El Habanero' on April, 2007
