We discovered this cigar a year ago—and we’ve been talking about it ever since.

Rosalie and James first tried Las Villas Ci**rs at the AITS Ignite Show last year, and both were genuinely impressed. The flavour, construction, and overall quality stood out immediately, but what really caught our attention was the incredible value for money.

In a world where cigar prices continue to rise, finding a cigar that consistently delivers quality at an accessible price is something worth sharing.

That’s why we chose Las Villas to be featured at this Thursday’s event with Barkers of Harrogate.

Handcrafted in Estelí, Nicaragua, Las Villas offers a range of sizes from Robusto to Grand Toro, making it a fantastic option for those looking for a reliable, flavourful everyday cigar. Alongside Las Villas, guests will also have the opportunity to discover Macanudo and Buenaventura—two other excellent brands that offer exceptional smoking experiences and outstanding value.

Whether you’re an experienced aficionado or simply looking for your next regular smoke, this is a wonderful opportunity to try something new in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Add to that the comedy of Jack Carroll and the beautifully crafted watches from Mezei Watch Company, and it promises to be a memorable evening.

Please do come along. You may just discover your next everyday cigar.

The Padrón sampler box is one of the best ways to truly understand a cigar brand. 🤎

Inside this collection is not just different ci**rs, but different experiences shaped by vitola, wrapper, to***co ageing, and blending technique. It allows you to slow down and discover how small changes in a cigar can completely transform flavour, strength, and character.

One of the reasons Padrón is so respected around the world is their extraordinary consistency. Every cigar is handcrafted in Nicaragua using well-aged Nicaraguan to***cos, producing the rich balance and smoothness the brand is famous for.

As you enjoy the sampler, you begin to notice:
• How a Maduro wrapper brings deeper cocoa, espresso, and dark sweetness
• How Natural wrappers reveal more cedar, earth, spice, and roasted nuts
• How thinner ci**rs can feel more intense and concentrated
• How larger ring gauges allow flavours to develop slowly and smoothly

This is what makes cigar appreciation so fascinating — learning how craftsmanship, ageing, and size all influence the experience.

A sampler box like this is not simply about smoking different ci**rs. It is about educating the palate, understanding the artistry behind handmade ci**rs, and discovering which styles speak to you most.
