When Eddie Ortega went looking to create a cigar brand with his name on it, the Ortega Serie D Maduro was, along with the Serie D Natural, the cigar that announced his return to a business in need of his many talents. Having proven his abilities at the brand he co-owned with Erik Espinosa, EO Cigars, Eddie took some time off to develop the Serie D by selecting only the finest tobaccos, aging them to perfection, and then having them crafted into vitolas of exceptional quality. For the Maduro version, he blended Nicaraguan leaves from Esteli and Jalapa and rolled them in a rich, sweet Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper.

Worth far more than their cost because of smooth and exciting Maduro flavors, the Ortega Serie D Maduro should be a staple in any smoker's humidor. By a box and don't be stingy. Pass a few around for an impromptu herf with friends, trade with a buddy for some Gurkha Assassins to see who comes out on top, or gift 'em to the troops. You can't go wrong.
