Cigar Magazine by JR Cigar Summer 2024

Dunbarton Umbagog Bronzeback Umbagog is a bundle brand based on the coveted Mi Querida – not every wrapper leaf is good enough for the beloved Mi Querida, so those more rustic-looking, rough-around- the-edges wrappers get a second life with Umbagog. This rich, spicy 5x48 cigar wears a slightly different wrapper from lower on the plant than the rest of the Umbagog lineup, offering additional nuances of earth and pepper with just a dash of that delicious broadleaf sweetness. Paired with a zesty Nicaraguan core for a bold, medium-full bodied smoke, the Umbagog Bronzeback is the perfect choice as this summer’s daily driver.

Gurkha Treinta Toro Anniversaries are an occasion worth celebrating for anybody, but in the cigar world, brands always have something special in store for milestone years. For the 30th anniversary of Kaizad Hansotia’s Gurkha ownership, the brand celebrated with one of its finest cigars yet, the Gurkha Treinta Toro. Truly exceptional, the celebratory cigar features a co-mingling of extensively aged Nicaraguan Corojo with Criollo long fillers and binder all cloaked in a beautiful reddish-brown Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper. Medium-bodied and bursting with flavor, one will experience a flurry of notes including roasted nuts, creaminess, earth, white pepper and tobacco sweetness throughout.

HVC Pan Caliente CT Bundle Here’s a real sleeper hit from one of the most underrated boutique brands on the market – the HVC Pan Caliente Connecticut. These cigars are crafted in the “Cuban sandwich” method where Nicaraguan short fillers are mixed with long fillers, making them exceptionally affordable. The finishing touch is a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper to deliver a mellow-medium bodied medley of espresso, cedar, cream, baking spices, and touches of sweetness.
