From Rich Perelman at CigarCyclopedia:

Cigars packed in pocket tins are enjoying a renaissance in popularity and the well-regarded Heaven brand of flavored cigars are now available in tins of 10 in the Cherub size, a 3 1/2-inch by 26-ring cigarillo.

The entire Cherub line – Heavenly Vanilla, Heather’s Honey Nut, Raging Rum and Cupid’s Cherry Cream – is available in the tins, which includes a protective paper lining.

Heaven is an all-tobacco line and competes with Havana Honeys and Tatiana for leadership in the premium flavored category. If you’re interested to try, I’d start with the Heavenly Vanilla or Heather’s Honey Nut lines, offering references to the vanilla or sweet tastes sometimes associated with milder, non-flavored brands.

Of note: the Heaven line is alone in offering handmade, flavored cigars in larger sizes preferred by serious smokers such as their 5 1/2-inch by 46-ring Corona – the perfect format for their Heavenly Vanilla flavor – and a 6-inch by 50-ring Torpedo.

From Rich Perelman at CigarCyclopedia:

It’s easy to be a fan of Puros Indios cigars.

Not only is this Honduran-made brand a pleasure to smoke, with an even draw and plenty of flavor in its Classic, Maxima Reserva and Viejo lines, but it’s one of the best values on the market today.

It also offers some of the largest cigars available anywhere, including two giant perfectos, the 7 1/4 inch by 60-ring Victoria and the 10 inch by 60-ring Gran Victoria, plus the “Chief” at 18 inches long by 66 ring. It’s the longest cigar currently marketed nationally in the United States.
