Micallef is a very new addition to the cigar world, but the Reserva Limitada Privada is a standout smoke that came to the market completely by chance. As owner Al Micallef tells the story, he happened to be in a cigar lounge in Texas when the Gómez Sanchez brothers, Joel and Edel, walked through the doors. Their car had broken down and, being cigar makers, they offered to roll some cigars for the patrons. Micallef says he was so impressed with the cigars, he asked them if they would create a personal cigar just for him. Soon after, a business was born. The Micallef Reserva Limitada Privada won’t come cheap, but it’s a nutty, balanced and interesting blend that contains, among other things, Peruvian tobacco in the filler.
