Rocky Patel The Edge B52

Rocky’s ‘Edge’ range is quite impressive! I love how well made these cigars are; the wrapper is nice and smooth but also shows some deep veins. I like a cigar that looks like a leaf. Overall there are no soft spots till your right at the foot which smells of sweet brown sugar. Once cut, […]

Drew Estate Java Mint

Smells just like an after dinner mint. Now that comment really shows my age… The wrapper looked a little crumbly and delicate, but was actually the opposite being quite spongy. This wrapper also has a nice rustic look, but the lack of creativity on the band really fails for presentation. After opening with the punch, […]

Mi Querida Triqui Traca No. 552

Apparently the name means ‘Firework’ so let’s see if this cigar goes off with a bang! The toothy wrapper just glistens of oil, a little bumpy with some sharp veins throughout. The pack is a little on the firm side; the cold draw has light resistance and hints of cedar and leather. The first third […]

Acid 20 Robusto

Sweet and spicy Christmas treat. This cigar is seriously box pressed; nearly a perfect rectangle and the corners are very sharp! The wrapper had a perfect toothy oily sheen, and smells nearly exactly like a Gudang garam kretek cigarette. Unfortunately they had a day off creating the band; its budget and to be honest […]

Deadwood Crazy Alice

The reason I purchased this cigar is because I have never seen a pig tailed pyramid, not to mention one with a closed foot before. I love the look of this cigar; nice dark toothy wrapper and a ‘crazy’ band. The scent from fresh is simply floral. The pack and draw is very tight, but […]

Camacho Nicaraguan Barrel Aged Robusto Tubos

Now this is a cool looking cigar! The look of this cigar is intimidating; once opened from the tubos the smell was especially strong of rich leather and floral sweet cinnamon all wrapped into one. The band has a lot going on; you have to twist to read all the details of how the tobacco […]

Joya Antano CT Corona Gorda

The Joya Antano Dark Corojo is definitely one of my favorite cigars; now let’s see what the Connecticut version has to offer. The fresh scents of sweet barnyard, cocoa and butter smell incredible. The Connecticut wrapper is delicate and smooth, with a second band ‘CT’ that is probably not necessary because this wrapper cannot be […]
