Plasencia Reserva Original Nesticos

I was looking for a smaller cigar to enjoy while watching the Moto GP. This size looked perfect and the fact that it’s made with 100% certified organic tobacco sealed the deal. The bands are what first drew me to this cigar, nice clean and simple but not a fan when they are placed near […]

Catrina De Mi Vida Maduro

As soon as I picked up this cigar it was apparent that it was infused. If you had to guess the item from scent alone 9/10 would say a bouquet of flowers. The roll of this cigar was just as beautiful as the smell with a very smooth chocolate maduro wrapper, exquisite band and triple […]

Flor De Copan Belicosos

The presentation of this cigar is simply stunning. Prestige band followed by a cedar sheath. The wrapper feels like satin with next to no veins. Now don’t be too quick to judge a book by its cover because this cigar is all sparkle and no substance. I truly don’t know if this cigar had a […]

Honduras Vintage Toro

Be warned this cigar review might be a little biased. My little sister picked up a box of these cigars for me while she was in Honduras so I’m going to enjoy them regardless. Decent presentation for this Toro size cigar, wrapper was smooth with only a few small veins. The single cap was a […]

La Aurora Untamed Robusto 50 x 127

As you can see this is something very different from La Aurora. The band sold me so let’s hope that looks aren’t deceiving. Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper ticks all the boxes for me, dark & oily with a solid rustic feel that shows real authenticity. Dark chocolate with spice for the cold draw. After twenty minutes […]

Padron Churchill Maduro 6 7/8 x 46

Many reviews describe this cigars build as questionable, especially the basic single cap which is barely holding on. Some say it’s to be torn off with your teeth, now lets add this very toothy wrapper… OK now this cigar presents as an old style authentic cigar with character. I like it! Cold draw was very […]
