In partnership with Island Lifestyle Importers, Ventura Cigar Company is announcing the arrival of the “Hula Paradise Collection” from Tommy Bahama’s cigar accessories collection. The collection will premiere at this year’s International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers (IPCPR) Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Overall, the profile of the Island Lifestyle Island Club was pretty typical of other Connecticut shade cigars as it didn't do anything to stand out from the pack. The draw to this cigar would definitely be the price point as it's quite low and this is the advantage of this cigar.
The Island Club cigar is comprised of aged Nicaraguan filler and binder tobacco wrapped in a beautiful Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf with a covered foot. These cigars are manufactured in Estelí, Nicaragua by 9 pairs of dedicated rollers.
You get a long smoking time from the Island Lifestyle Aged Reserve Series Maduro Toro, as the others from the brand, so there's some additional value there. Overall, I didn't find any wow factors in the cigar and thought it was fairly average compared to many maduros available on the market.

If the Island Lifestyle Aged Reserve Series Connecticut Toro could have kept the profile from the first third throughout, this would have been a pretty good traditional Connecticut shade profile. As it sits, this is a cigar I'd smoke if it was handed to me, but I probably wouldn't chase down more to smoke.
The Island Lifestyle Aged Reserve Series Sun Grown Toro is a nice, flavorful cigar that allows you to just focus on those flavors. I'm very interested in trying the other lines now and would say this is one I'll gladly smoke more of and something worthwhile to check out to see if you agree.
