Tampa Rollers

This cigar has undergone a remarkable 8-year aging process, which strikes me as truly impressive. While I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy cigars aged even longer, such occasions are few and far between. The initial cold draw offers a mild to lightly resistance and doesn’t present much in terms of distinct flavours. You can undoubtedly […]

Golden churro

Fresh cardboard is not the scent I expected from a Golden Churro. During the first third, the flavours of dried apricots shone brightly, accompanied by a smooth and ample smoke output. A subtle mustiness made its presence known, adding depth to the experience. The cigar delivered a very mild and smooth smoking sensation, with just […]

AJF Habano ROb 5 1/2 x 54

Upon opening the cellophane, the aroma of this cigar is immediately reminiscent of well-aged tobacco. The cellophane itself appears to be quite clear though? This cigar is an exploration into a new test blend, and it does seem a bit rough around the edges. Notably, both the cap and foot appear to be coming apart […]

Classique

I recently had the pleasure of discovering another classic gem from Privada: The Classique. This Dominican cigar boasts a remarkable 10-year aging process and sports an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper. Let’s start with the wrapper itself. It might surprise you, but upon first glance, it doesn’t quite resemble your typical Connecticut shade wrapper. Instead, it’s […]

Plasencia Alma Del Fuego

I chose the cigar I would enjoy tonight based on its alluring scent; though I couldn’t quite pinpoint the exact fragrance, I knew it was the right choice for the evening. Upon lighting, I immediately noticed savoury notes, with hints of graham crackers and mild wood, and a pleasant white pepper finish. The smoke production […]

FIghting cock

So much Cigar for $5 (6 1/4 x 52) Seems like maybe too good to be true. Upon first inspection, a faint barnyard scent emanates from the fresh cigar. The initial draw is surprisingly light, yet it yields an abundant volume of smoke. In terms of flavour, it presents as mild with notes of hay […]

Joya De Nicaragua Antaño Connecticut

I’ve been consistently impressed by Joya’s Antano range, so trying the CT was an exciting prospect for me. This particular cigar boasts an incredibly smooth Connecticut wrapper. As always, Joya’s presentation is impeccable, featuring classic gold and red bands adorned with their crest. Upon first inspection, the aroma from this cigar is a delightful blend […]

La Aurora 107 Cosecha 2007 LE

This marks my seventh encounter with a La Aurora blend, and my expectations were high. The initial impression was reminiscent of caramel coffee, a delightful aroma that lingered from the freshly cut cap. However, I did encounter a rather sizeable stick within the cigar when I first cut it, which I couldn’t remove, and I […]

Capos The Burnot

Wrapper: Corojo 99Binder: HVAFillers: Dominican Republic Piloto Cubano, HVA, and Criollo 98 I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a truly intriguing cigar that left a lasting impression. This cigar’s appearance immediately caught my attention with dark thick smoke emanating from each draw, setting the stage for something exciting. Upon the first puff, I was […]

AJF HABano ROBusto 5X52

This test blend came in my latest box and to be honest I don’t know why I’m smoking it now? Its came in and open bag with the Boveda totally dried out and it has a bend in it like a banana… Anyway I’m smoking it and that’s that. Ok I don’t know what I […]
