Top New Cigars of 2023 

Can we take a moment to appreciate the quality videos that Holts puts out on a regular basis. I loved the La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut and the Don Peppin 20th anniversary. Both stellar blends that are quite different from each other and they make a delicious combo throughout the day. Start off with the La Aroma de Cuba with a cup of coffee and the Don Peppin after a filling dinner. I want to pick up these other incredible blends on Holts soon

Watching Anthony in these videos got me interested in the cigar world.His delivery in these videos are classy suit ,tie ,and he doesn’t use foul language !

I absolutely love these videos! I am new to cigars, and none of my friends are really into them. So these videos have helped guide me. Thanks y'all!

I have to say I watch about 5 different cigar reviewers on a regular basis. And your videos are hands down the best. You are so editor and informative. And by far the best dressed. You are the definition of class. I appreciate everything you do. I am a beer Consultant in a B & M and help out in the humidor probably 5- 10 hours a week. And you make my job so much easier. Thank you from Chicago. Rob

That Don Pepin LE looks very tasty! I’ve never had a bad cigar from My Father Cigars. The fact that so many are on your list speaks volumes to the quality they produce 👍🏼👍🏼 I recently reviewed the El Centurion H 2K CT and wow what a cigar! Definitely not what you’d except from a Connecticut wrapper.

For 2023, these cigars stood out to me for their flavor, body, and taste: the Oliva Serie V, Trinidad Espiritu No. 1 & No. 2, Montecristo Espada Guard Oscuro, La Gloria Cubana Spanish Press, and Cohiba Nicaragua.

Perdomo's always make me happy and always hits the spot, especially the sungrown stuff.

You guys offer that in a sampler pack I would buy it

I really enjoyed the Amazon Basin Extra Añejo as well as the Allegiance El Chaperone. Pretty much anything God of Fire and the Don Carlos Annivesario

All excellent choices! That Perdomo 30th is outstanding - I've had all three wrapper varieties and come back to the Connecticut and the Maduro.

God must have told Don Pepin that I wanted the Vegas Cubana repackaged. I always thought the blend was great but it would never sell with that dated look that it used to have. I think this is going to sell much better with the repackaging 🙌🏻

Mazz as always awesome content love your videos and excellant selection thanks for sharing!

I can only speak for the edge, When I got it just for a review I though it was REALLY good. At the time I was new to that type of wrapper with its flavors (never tried OG the edge) was such a great experience and smoke. Lasted around a hour of pure relaxation.

Thank you so much, Anthony. Your RU-vid videos are well-presented, educational, and very informative. The details provided on Holt Cigars' website are precisely accurate. The advice you provided is practical and useful. This is gonna be my go-to cigar channel. Love to see more of your content!

Love your channel, great reviews, great vids. I appreciate the knowledge that you share, but also the fact that you dress the part. Nice suits always, particularly the one you are wearing in this video. And when Rocky Patel showed up, he also had a great suit on. That was a great interview. Great to see style never goes out of style! 😄

Pure class!!

The La Aroma De Cuba Connecticut is my new favorite cigar.

Those picks are some amazingly impressive and good looking cigars. I’m going on a hunt for them Mazz. 🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼

Great Selection Mazz 🏆

Madone! That Aroma De Cuba is the chefs kiss

I truly appreciate what you do for the beginner smoke.I have been following you and learning ever time you show a video. thank you

Can't mention top cigars of the year without Luciano Cigars!

There are levels to fine handcrafted premium cigar and spirits. Selective boutique manufacturers like Didier Cigars is truly special. I’ve done the pairing with Angels Envy and a Salomon from Didier Cigars. The experience is truly magical and sophisticated.

Smoking a La Aroma de Cuban maduro right now. Delicious stick

Another great video.

Good to see you in a T-Shirt as well 🙂

This is a pivotal moment of one of the greatest presentation of the best cigars. Anthony, my friend this is one of them greatest smashes of all time.💪💪💪

Hi ,Anthony I’m aging 10 of the LADC Connecticut’s in my humidor for coming spring,I can’t wait,I just love the brand,special type of cigar brand for sure 👍

Could you do a video on all of the main wrappers if an opportunity comes up?

Menelik, yes. Vegas Cubanas is not new, but it was underrated/overlooked before. Not new, but when you listed the Edge variants, you left out the Candela, which is my 2nd favorite in the line after maduro. It's not just a St Patrick's Day gimmick.

Man I'm new to the cigar game, about 5 months in, but these videos are great.

Every time I watch your videos I spend money! Keep this great content coming!!

The "La Aroma De Cuba" blend kind of sounds like the Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne blend

Another phenomenal video by bolts most def

As always, great video and I definitely love the high end cigar reviews, but I can’t afford them all the time. Especially since I’m newer to the fine cigar world. Would love to see a review of your Holts Factory Specials

The regular Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro maintains a space in my humidor and the 23 version has found a spot to squeeze in. The Perdomo 30th anniv Maduro is a banger 🔥 for sure. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either of these 2 hard hitters. Solid choices bruh 👊🏾

Good Evening 😊 Awesone good cigars 👏🏼 Thanks for sharing 💯 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦

Quality video as per usual. Much better than listening to other guys and their funny/lame voices. 👍🏾

Smoking the Don Pepin green label as I watch this. Great video

Love your content can you please leave a list of the Cigars you review as a new smoker, I go to my local cigar shop and don't always remember the great cigars you mention?

Verocu Blue!

Anthony!!! Every time I hear you say that it reminds me of Connie calling the young Anthony in the Godfather 2.

Awesome

Great video, as all your offerings. Thanx for sharing your knowledge. Would you be interested in sharing your thoughts on Honduran cigars? I enjoy them regularly and would like your take on them.

Anthony, your classy reviews and recommendations have steered my new path into the cigar world with enthusiasm. I’ve tried many of your top picks in the past year and am delighted with each smoke on your lists. Thank you for your knowledge and making the cigar journey a class act! I too am wearing a tie as I have my evening cigar (just got off work but leave on the tie in homage to you.)

I watch Holts and Cigarobsession exclusively!!! Both informative and like able.

Once more, an informative video. Thanks, my guy!

I enjoy his reviews. No gimmicky shouting. Just a relaxed vibe. Always dressed to a T.

This is one of the best cigar channels out there!

Your Old Henry brand is still one of my favorites, it's a shame they're over priced. But then again, all your cigars are.

I'm very new I to cigars say a pre aficionado.. but plan to becoming a journeyman in my hobby. I've learned a lot from you thank you

I was glad to see Aroma de Cuba come up as the first cigar in your review. Aroma de Cuba was the first cigar I ever bought. I knew nothing about cigars, but loved it. Long after my explorations of other brands, to see if there were better blends out there, I still come back to Aroma de Cuba as one of my favorites. It comes in several varieties, of course; but they're all very good.

I'm torn between the alec bradley double broadleaf and warfighter 50 cal garrison maduro

I love many of the cigars y'all sell at Holt's. I finally decided to try the Hambones Toro's from another shop. Originally marketed as JP Alley's Sweets, starting in 1923! One of the original, " 5c cigars". The Connecticut Habano has flavors of the Habano with Shade Connecticut & a touch of Sungrown! Mixes well with a roasty, rich coffee. Or the Maduro, which looks and tastes like a San Andreas to me. Now about a buck each on sale, it gives a look at what cigars were in grandpa's day.

Great content as always. Can you all display the name of the cigar onscreen as you're talking about it? Or, list them in the description?

cheers to holts cigars! one of my first cigars padron 1964 was recommended from anthony and is now one of my favorites I always go back to!

I think what all really want to know is how do we go to Nicaragua with the Ashton crew 😂

Yup I got tht one la aroma de Cuba

THE OLMEC CLARO. THE OLMEC CLARO. THE OLMEC CLARO.

Thank you so much for the review. This is my second year in trying different cigars and I'm looking forward to trying these on the list.

Sampler Pack?? 👀

Don Pepin Original, my go to.

Macallan 12. Scotch's version of flavour Heaven. It's too difficult not to drink beyond just enjoying the flavour. This is a perfect Cuban pairing, or, if you're not Canadian, the Flor does just as good a job.

Anthony speaks, I listen Great video

Just for fun. Holts should create a cigar blend and have viewers send in a label design. Winner gets their design used and a free box. Just a thought.

Got some Made Man cigars recently, new to the market I think, peppery but really grew on me once I was in the right mood for it.

Gotta try that Rocky Patel Edge. I literally have loved every Rocky cigar I’ve tried

Hi Anthony I have watched quite a few of your videos and I am wanting to get into cigars, your thoughts on some cigars I could start the journey with and particularly what I could purchase in Australia or ways to get overseas cigars into Australia, thanks and another great video

Great vid, some lookers in that bunch, that Rocky is great.

JTL Trinidad Espiritu No.3 is a super good cigar that i don’t see a lot of reviews on.

Nice video, like always very interesting and informative topic ❤

It would be great to buy a sampler with all of these cigars. Two of each!

Okay, Anthony, I gotta ask: This video talks about some great cigars, and I love the suggestions. But what cigar would you recommend a fella, for his 42nd, who's new to cigars, but doesn't have a specific ceiling on tolerance? For reference, I took a Punch Diablo to the face, same as I did a Cain Black Label. Both were amazing in the flavor department, but neither were too strong for me. Mind you, I have been drinking black coffee for almost 32 years, and I used to smoke double-strength cigarettes (Kamel Reds, Camel Wide non-filter, and other non-filtered cigarettes), so my palette is either dead, or just not very sensitive. I have a Don Carlos Eye Of The Shark saved for this special day. Is that going to be enough to satiate my bloodlust or will I still want more? And if you think I will want more, what would you suggest? I know this may be an odd request, but I really value your opinion, as you've been one of the main people I've referred to whilst partaking in the world of premium cigars. Am I just a madman? Or is there a stick, reasonably priced, that would provide depth of flavor, and not just be a linear ride to Boringsville?

Great video, how about throwing these in a sampler pack for us 😎

Will you do a video on Irish cigars I'm interested in knowing which one is good to pick from

Gurkha has some new Cigars they Should be on Holts review 😎

If anyone reading this can help me out with an answer…let’s consider RP The Edge as an example. When a cigar maker puts various wrappers on a blend, does the blend remain the same if the name, such as The Edge, remains the same?

Any hope of doing all of those as a sampler?

Please do try to review some Hawaiian cigars from Kauai

Do you guys have this as a sampler pack?

Anthony here..

How about the Mayflower Cigars by the one and only Michael Knowles? ;)

❤❤❤

why cant i get only a peppery taste never get the other flavors the experts talk about. coffee, nutty, vanilla, butter scotch, earth, etc?

Parade appropriate

H Upmann 1844 Anejo AJ

Oliva „V“ or Oliva 5? 🤔

Unfortunately yall don’t carry the foundation cigars.

We can’t buy it online

You mean 2024?

Everyone knows that the top cigars are coming from boutique makers. The big industry players don't want you to know that the best cigars are limited...and are not viable for them to make a profit on.

Small recommendation - ask the guy from the video to have a manicure.

Maximum respect for Padròn products but if the opponents of the Cuban stuff are the top 2023 of Cigaraficionado the communists can rest assured for a little longer

Don Pepin Original, my go to.
