WHAT’S IN YOUR HUMIDOR?
Every month we visit a UK Cigar Specialist to find two rare aged cigars which only they have. UK Cigar
stores have a proud heritage of aging cigars for their customers so that they can enjoy the subtle and
refined pleasures of a mature cigar.
This month we popped in to speak to Mitchell Orchant and discovered two
cigars which most people will have anticipated were all either smoked or
locked away in collector’s humidors. We sat and talked and smoked one of
the first cigars, the Punch Serie D’Oro No 1 with Mitch and it was superb.
Smooth and very cultured, a perfect aged cigar straight out of his humidor.
As usual all of the cigars we feature are available in singles at the time of
going to press.

link I decided to
