CAO Flathead Sparkplug

The Flathead range of cigars is absolutely impressive. And who wouldn’t love a sparkplug cigar with a pigtail! When I cut the cap I noticed a relatively large hole, about 5x5mm, but surprisingly it didn’t cause much of an issue. Once lit, this little cigar delivers a powerful punch with an abundance of black pepper […]

Fratello navetta

The smell from fresh is an intoxicating aroma of sweet cocoa and earth. What this guy lacks in length is definitely made up in girth. My cutter was maxed out trying to cut this 60 ring gauge cap. (4 x 60) Cedar and dark earth are the first flavours found with a little bit of white […]

I really love the gold on white band, but I find the name “insert factory code here” a bit uninspired. While I couldn’t identify a distinct scent from the fresh cigar, the cold draw revealed sweet cedar notes. Upon lighting, my first impression was of a smooth and powerful cedar smoke bomb, producing thick clouds […]

factory smokes sun grown churchill

This is the third factory smoke I have tried from Drew Estate and by far the largest! This is one soft cigar, my storage is on point so let’s see where this goes. There is not much scent from fresh maybe a little sweet hay on the cold draw which is incredibly light. Upon lighting […]

What’s your favourite vitola? I would have to say the robusto is right up there and this is a damn fine example! Since the origins of this cigar are undisclosed I have to take a random guess that this is a Habano wrapper. It has a rich smell from fresh a “cuban” type taste once […]

Rojas KSG Red

Today I had the pleasure of trying the Rojas KSG Red, also known as the King of the Small Gauge. As a fan of Lanceros, I was initially surprised to see that this cigar was slightly bigger in gauge than what I was used to, but I was eager to give it a try nonetheless. […]

Rocky Patel. Patel Bros Robusto

It’s been awhile so I thought I would go back to my roots and see what RP has for me. Plus it’s time to break in the new Scarface ashtray from Revibed Vinyl. I know RP has many different blends but it just tastes like a RP. This dark brown wrapper is a little less […]

Dunkin donuts

I’ll say it again, Connecticut shade wrappers are quickly becoming my favourite. This smooth connecticut shade wrapper has a very faint but sweet scent from fresh. The first third is as subtle as it smells with a sweetness lingering on the finish. The smoke however is a little wispy and powdery. The second third bought […]

Kings county

This is a beast of a cigar with an impressive shimmering halo band! This cigar is a status symbol, if you’re a bit of a show off this cigar is for you. The pack is solid but the draw resistance is spot on once lit. First flavours are of hay and liquorice. This is a […]

Killer bee

Sweet hay and unripened plums. What an intro! Salt and minerals are quick to show with a faint hint of white pepper. The finish is long and consists of a mix of metal and minerals. This cigar smokes like a dream: great draw, resistance, and an even better smoke output. Stacking dimes like a pro! […]
