While the majority of premium cigars—especially those in the boutique space—now come out of Nicaragua, the Ventura family and their Tabacalera William Ventura factory have become a go-to destination for boutique-minded Dominican cigars. This includes contemporary names such as Room101, Caldwell, and La Barba.
ADV & McKay Cigars Co. can now be added to that list, with Henderson Ventura and Marcel Knobel combining to create a craft brand themed around exploration. This concept plays out through multiple cigars/chapters, beginning with exploration and moving into navigation, conquest, and eventually, a return to the place where the journey began.
The latter materializes with two cigars in the ADVentura The Royal Return collection: The Royal Return King's Gold and The Royal Return Queen’s Pearls. These cigars are positioned as ADVentura's most luxurious offerings; in other words, after conquering foreign land, gold is brought back to the king, and pearls are brought to the queen. With The Royal Return Queen’s Pearls cigar, the blend includes a stunning Connecticut Shade wrapper, an Ecuadorian binder, and a diverse filler of Dominican, Ecuadorian, and Nicaraguan tobaccos. Additionally, the leaves have been aged for five years prior to be rolled, and an additional four months' age post roll.
It almost goes without saying, the The Royal Return Queen’s Pearls is a regal smoking experience. Enthusiasts can expect a medium body, with long-lasting flavors of Nilla wafers, buttered toast, citrus rind, clean sage, and black tea.
Country of Orgin : Dominican Republic
Strength : Medium
Wrapper : Connecticut
*Please note that all SKUs have two product lines. The top line is the box/bundle count. The second line is less than a box/bundle count and will be shipped as loose cigars in a humidified bag.
Daniel Lemus - ADV Queens Pearls Lancero
If you like Davidoff white label cigars but are looking for a little more body and strength, then look no further than this excellent offering from ADV. Henderson blended a truly remarkable cigar that has some creamy leather notes with an underlining almost sweet nutty flavor that adds a little spice from draw to draw. One of the best DR cigars out there.

Ryan Nehus - ADV Queens Pearls Lancero
This is one of the best Connecticut cigars on the market. I usually don’t reach for cigars like this but it is blended in a way that full bodied smokers will enjoy it as well. The lancero is a great vitola in this cigar. Worth buying a box for sure.

Construction/burn was good. Notes of hay, vanilla, cedar and baking spice. Mild/medium. Long finish with a clean taste. So tasty.

I’ve gone through a fair amount of these boxes waiting for the Amendola Connecticut Cannoli to get back in stock….both being my automatic grab to pair with nespresso first thing in the morning. The slightly sweet creaminess with big flavor is perfection in this vitola .

You can’t go wrong with ADV and Queens Pearls is one of the best. All sizes of this cigar are amazing but I prefer the corona because I think the delicate vanilla bean and floral aromas really come through in this size. I’m able to get about an hour and a half out of one but to be honest I lose track of time due to the sheer enjoyment of this cigar. Try one, you won’t regret it.

Keith Webber - ADV Queens Pearls Corona
ADV is one of if not the most under rated bbrand on the cigar market, and this cigar proves that. It highlights the complexities that a Connecticut wrapper can have. It reminds me Dominican and Connecticut cigars that my father smoked. Smooth, cedar, little barnyard, but creamy and delicious

Vincent Bonetti - ADV Queens Pearls Robusto
OMGWTFBBQ - ADV. Henderson blended an amazing and truly remarkable cigar that has creamy leather notes, a nutty flavor with a little kick of spice that you get almost every puff. As a Nicaraguan guy i was impressed as this is o e of the DR's best.
A Connecticut cigar but also almost a full bodied smoke.
Worth buying a box and if you do and dont want it I'll take it off your hands for sure.

Great way to start the day. A little spicy. A little sweet. A whole lot to love from Adventura cigars who are one of the hottest blenders on the market in the recent years! Pairs great with coffee, tea, water, the blood of the innocent....you get the point!

Another banger of a cigar by Adventura! Great cigar for anytime of day as it is a lighter bodied cigar but still full of flavor. And for me having a light cigar with alot of flavor is a big thing. Definitely recommend trying if you haven’t yet

First order from the team at Smoke Inn and what a great experience. Even gave me a free gift with my first order. These cigars are the absolute best. I am newer to smoking and these work best for me as they are mild and just a great smoke. Love them on the golf course or backdoor fire pit nights.
