lonsdales

Slender sizes might occupy a small space in today’s market, but their dedicated following is still strong enough to keep lonsdales in production. The Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series Superior scored 91 points. It may not be the best-seller of the line, but the slim, box-pressed smoke maintains the same level of excellence that the series is known for. Three cigars scored 90 points, all of which differ drastically in style. The CAO Flathead is wrapped in dark Connecticut broadleaf and pressed like a peg, unlike the My Father Cedros Deluxe, which is a traditional parejo shape with a modern blend of Ecuador Havana wrapper and Nicaraguan tobacco. Fuente’s Seleccion Privada is old-school in both blend and size, combining a light, Connecticut shade wrapper with Dominican leaf.
