Artesano Del Tobacco is renowned for their brand Viva La Vida. Luxury Cigar Club and Artesano Del Tobacco have had a wonderful relationship since the launch of Luxury Cigar Club, being the first club to ever offer the amazing Nicaraguan puro in a subscription box, and the first company ever to receive an exclusive blend of Viva La Vida. Through that long relationship Choshi was born.
Choshi will be the second blend by Billy and Gus at Artesano Del Tobacco ever released for sale, and we are extremely humbled and proud to be able to offer to exclusively.
Choshi was a project that started nearly a full year before its release, but through some difficulties in supply chain, wood supply, and of course COVID, it was delayed several times, but we are happy to announce that it is ready for you and will be shipping in Late November.
Choshi means firstborn, and it is named this because it was supposed to be the first cigar released from Luxury Cigar Club. Ooops. Even though it is late it will not disappoint!
Choshi was blended to represent both Ben and Chris' pallet, and will provide three extremely defined and unique transitions. The first third is full body with complex Nicaraguan flavors, the second third is mild and smooth. The final third is a perfect marriage between the two. We are so extremely happy to be able to offer this treat to you!

The Alfonso Anejo #3 is an amazing cigar. Some may say “it’s too expensive”. I would ask, “have you had one?” I have bought several boxes of these over the years and they are always great. A very complex cigar: creamy, nutty, woody, some pepper and a dessert-like sweetness. Alfonso Nelson puts a lot of care and years of aging to make these a perfect smoke any time of the day. I have always bought these from Luxury Cigar as they take great care so your cigars won’t come damaged or dry. Plus Luxury has always been a fair provider of premium cigars (with discounts).

START: I'm getting some promising impressions of barnyard and violet.
MIDWAYS: This Corona Gorda kicks of with bold puffs and notes of black pepper and spices once lit. The transition towards cinnamon, aromatic cedar and rich dark chocolate takes place hitting the sweet spot. No issues what so ever when it comes to the draw and burn.
FINAL THIRD: As a beautiful add-on there's some tasty notes of salted peanuts waiting perfectly entering the last third. This brings that rounded creaminess to this experience. True craftmanship throughout seen to construction and personality in this cigar.
Starts off with a bang load of fierce black pepper mixed with spices once lit, just to be followed up with the finest dark and rich chocolate. The burn is so beautifully even and refined and the draw's like a steadily calm heartbeat. The taste transends towards leather and walnuts midst the sweet spot. The combination of earthiness and creaminess adds another dimension to this cigar and flashes of some red berries wraps it up taste wise. The complexity and craftmanship is once again revealed by this brand. Looking for a great Broadleaf experience, then this is the one!
Only had the Krakatoa so far from this sampler, but what a treat this cigar is! This Corona Gorda kicks of with bold puffs and notes of black pepper and spices once lit. The transition towards cinnamon, aromatic cedar and rich dark chocolate takes place hitting the sweet spot. No issues what so ever when it comes to the draw and burn. Another well made one from DTT.
Very good cigar. With El Septimo cigars I am about 50/50 that I like or dislike it. This is a very good cigar, the flavor profile that I am picking up is creamy, some sort of fruit and slight coco possibly.
Easily one of the best cigars I’ve had, galore profile right on the box making an easy pair for a relaxed time. Every section of the burn got better and better. Solid branding. Solid price point. Solid stick.
Fantastic cigar and well taken care of. Wrapper is delicate and well aged cigars take some attention to detail while cutting.
Recommend a punch for anyone with limited experience enjoying a 20+ year old cigar.
Cold draw remind me of the grandparents wet, funky basement or an antique shop after a week or rain.
Draw is on the loose side, but not Perdomo loose! Construction and burn are superb (as they should be for the $$$), and the flavors are a mix of HDM and HU CC. Clean and delicate smoke.
Worth the cost of entry-superb!
Gorgeous stick. Depth of flavor you can only get from aged tobacco. There’s a deep richness and a fruity rind note under all that richness that coats the palette.
Davidoff is known as a premier cigar company. These Connecticut cigarillos are good when you're short on time or when traveling. The tin also labels them as 100% tobacco which is always positive. When cigarillos can become expensive, these reasonably priced davidoff cigarillos are a good pick if you like a natural or Connecticut wrapper
This is simply superb! A flavor bomb from start to finish, but with development and transitions!!! And, as always, thanks for the perfect packaging and fast delivery;))
A good cigar. Surprisingly, it's not completely empty. Very light and subtle. The only thing that bothered me was a slight dustiness in the taste, but I think that's just the age.
Very good cigar. It's a limited edition cigar so I always makes sure that I buy them when possible. The flavor is very unique. Tasting Notes: Roasted Malt, Cream, Wheat Bread, Oak, Molasses, Leather, Fennel Seed.
Love these Diamond Crown Maximus. From start to finish. The deep notes of toasted cashews, hints of cocoa, and earthly essence of leather make these an exquisite favorite of mine.
This DR puro has potential. Full of bready sweetness and a dash of cinnamon. Draw was a bit tight but it was also 48hrs after being on the truck. I just couldn’t wait! Will definitely benefit from a little aging and dry-boxing.
These are great! After 30+ years on this cigar journey and finding this brand and vitola makes me giddy but sadly they are sold out. Please let me know when they come available again.
Nice trio the room 101 pay back started out like a pepper bomb made the eyes water during a retro hale. But surprisingly changed to a light pepper with a beautiful earthy sweet finish to it what an enjoyable cigar.
The L’Atelier was a smooth smoke from start to finish with notes of coco, earth, and a hint of cedar.
The LFD suave lived up to the name as it was a chill smoke all the way through. Perfect for smoking any time of the day. Nice and mellow with earth and cedar notes to it. Loved it.
I reviewed this cigar on April 28, 2026. I was stunned into submission. Not only will this cigar be in my top 25 for the year, but it will certainly be in my top 5. Worth every shekel.
The JC Newman Julius Caesar in the troublemaker size was a solid stick. Hadn't ever tried one before but saw that some were rated in the low 90s. Overall, a good natural and a great smoke.
A great cigar. PUROcrata deserves it status of ultra premium confidential boutique. The construction is precise, offering an even burn and comfortable draw throughout. Medium to medium-full, elegant and depth rather than brute power. A sophisticated cigar ideal for smokers who appreciate nuanced, darker flavor profiles.
The Azorian took me by surprise. Favor was creamy and bold. I'm not sure if they make this in the Turo, I hope so. great flavor throughout, start, middle and end. I will buy more of these.
