Quintero Favoritos

I really like robusto cigars, not a fan of the smaller ring sizes and nobody got time for those epic 2+ hour smokes. This suits me just fine 🙂 This cigar felt slightly moist, it had been in a more humid environment that expected. The wrapper was quite bumpy with a number of […]

Jose L. Piedra Conservas

If this cigar was described as a dress code then it would be smart casual, appealing but not overdone. I used the punch on this small gauge cigar and all went well, lighting was a little too easy so I was concerned it was maybe too dry. Once lit there was a strong taste of […]

Arturo Fuente Curly Head Deluxe Maduro

The first few draws had such a great taste of cedar, medium flavour for the first third with a nice draw. I was a little concerned using the punch for a cigar of this ring gauge but it worked perfectly. I am a big fan of the maduro wrapper, this wrapper is probably the […]

Ashton VSG Corona Gorda

Big fan of the sun grown wrapper, more authentic look with raised veins and slight imperfections, nonetheless a nicely made cigar. Very light barnyard/hay smell from fresh with a hint of cedar. This cigar felt slightly dry and unfortunately the cap cracked slightly when using the punch, not too bad though so nothing to worry […]

Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo

Very impressed with the presentation of this cigar, nice dark chocolatey coloured wrapper with a great looking gold band. Have I mentioned I’m a sucker for a quality band 🙂 Great oily feel with a very firm pack. Was a little concerned it was too firm and would inhibit the draw and /or crack when […]

La Aurora 1495 Brazil Connoisseur Selection

Beautiful dark Brazilian wrapper with a nice large band, sucker for a nice bands really adds to the prestige of the cigar. Very firm pack with a few large veins running full length, the wrapper is quite toothy which attributes to the rustic look. I found it interesting that you can get this cigar […]

Kentucky Fire Cured Flying Pig

Have you ever thrown a bottle of BBQ sauce into a camp fire?? No…well if you had then you would know exactly what this cigar smells like. This cigar had such an intense smell from fresh that I put it in its own section in my humidor. I was actually concerned that it would […]

Liga Privada Unico Serie Feral Flying Pig

This cigar had a very different scent from the other pigs, wrapper was considerably more oily. I was looking forward to this one the most! Largest of the flying pig range with a very firm pack this cigar is simply impeccable. From the start I found this cigar unbelievably smooth. Woody taste with just a […]

Drew Estate Liga Privada T52 Flying Pig

Construction is perfect, which seems consistent of all the pigs from Drew Estate. Earthy smell from fresh with a slight hint of spice. I really like this earthy taste. A taste of herbs with a sweetness at the end, burn is as even as can be. Ten minutes and only a centimeter gone, a slightly […]

Drew Estate Undercrown Shade Flying Pig

This cigar looks perfect, just like all Drew estate flying pigs do! A light colour wrapper that has distinct hay -barnyard scent from fresh. Ceder notes from the start with medium strength & flavor from the first few draws. Finish has a slight sweetness with a hint of spice. From the second third a […]
