This cigar is packed with rich & full flavors while maintaining an undeniable smoothness. This cigar is a wonderful choice to smoke regardless of your experience level.

The Rocky Patel Freedom Connecticut is equipped with flavor notes consisting of cedar, chocolate, nuts, spices, and spices. One of the best parts about this cigar is its affordable price compared to other cigars of similar quality.

This cigar is on the heavier side of the spectrum compared to our previously mentioned cigar blends. I would say that it is catered to the more seasoned aficionados with bold palates.

The Davidoff JR 50th Anniversary is the same blend that this iconic brand used for their company’s 50th anniversary back in 2018. that gorgeous-looking figuarado we all know and love is called the Diademas FInas Limited Edition.

A mixture of excitement and anxiousness overflowed us when we learned that Davidoff was going to be a part of our 50th celebration.

Landing in the middle spot of our Top 5 Labor Day Cigars is another fan favorite over here at JR. The Wild Hunter by Oscar Valladares is hot new premium cigars from Oscar Valladares that made a splash when it first came to the industry in 2019.

Next up is a cigar we’ve recently discovered and cannot get enough of. The HVC Pan Caliente is a gem that comes from the minds of master blender Reinier Lorenzo and Aganorsa Leaf. Lorenzo perfected his rolling and blending skills in his hometown of Havana City in Cuba (hence the name HVC). “Pan Caliente”, which means “warm bread” was to insinuate that this cigar is so good, that it will fly off the shelves like “hot cakes” aka “warm bread”.

This medium-bodied Nicaraguan puro utilizes Criollo ’98 tobaccos for the wrapper, binder, and filler. With melodic layers of raisin, espresso, hay, cedar, and hints of peppery spice, the HVC Pan Caliente would be a perfect nightcap smoke right after you’ve downed a few hot dogs and beers!

Other than the 5 x 50 Robusto that’s featured in this Top 5 Labor Day Cigars of 2021, the HVC Pan Caliente is also available in a Toro and a Double Corona, that come in a box of 25.

If you’re looking for a delicious Nicaraguan puro that is completely under the radar, then the HVC Pan Caliente is a cigar you need to try ASAP!

Last, but certainly not least, is a cigar that hails from Cuba, and is now a part of the extensive, creative portfolio that is JC Newman cigars. The Perla del Mar Corojo rounds out our Top 5 Labor Day Cigars, and rounds it out with a bang!

This resurrected old-style Cuban brand is a Nicaraguan puro that uses vintage Corojo tobaccos for the wrapper, as well as other tobaccos that hail from Esteli, Condega, and the Jalapa Valley. This medium to full-bodied gem has delicious flavor notes of coffee, leather, cinnamon, and a creamy smooth finish that’s an extraordinary treat for your palate.

The 6.25 x 54 Toro that’s in this pack isn’t the on;y size that Perla del Mar Corojo provides. You have three additional sizes, that all come in a box of 25. So if you’re looking for yet another Nicaraguan puro that isn’t on the mainstream radar, look no further.

Stop by JR Cigars today and pick up a box of the Perla del Mar Corojo and enjoy your Labor Day with the rest of us!
