The persian rug

This is the best thing to come from a website hack for sure! When I cracked open this cigar, an awesome fresh cedar smell greeted me. When lit the ash didn’t hold on for long, maybe because this smoke felt a tad dry? The main players here are cedar and black pepper which produced some […]

K decandencia by karen berger

I’m still amazed by the endless amount of cigar brands and this is another beautiful example. The cold draw offered pleasant notes of caramel and barnyard. This cigar was beautifully box-pressed, almost perfectly square in shape. During the initial draws, I was greeted with a delightful sweetness resembling caramel, accompanied by a great resistance and […]

subterraneo cobalum

I feel like I should be scared? There’s always a degree of truth with mythology. This cigar has a super dark wrapper and tightly packed construction, resulting in a light draw. However, this doesn’t hinder the production of large clouds of smoke. It is a 5×50 size and belongs to a collector series inspired by […]

I thought I would add a test blend to my Privada subscription. I like trying new things and and a chance to give some input. All this for $5 you really can’t go wrong with that! The cello on this cigar is yellowing nicely so it must be ready to go! A little bit of […]

This particular cigar has been aged for an impressive six years, showcasing the careful craftsmanship that went into its creation. The tobacco itself was aged previously for 7 years before being expertly rolled, making this […]

FLor de selva white rose

Different, but familiar. Smell from fresh, cedar. Lighting up, cedar. I’m not talking about just plain old cedar this is extreme cedar like you have never tasted before! Twenty minutes in this nicotine rich cigar has me up and going. The smoke it a little powdery and now laced with espresso, not one for the […]

Kafie grey wolf

Featuring a smooth dark maduro wrapper with a pigtail on one end and a semi-closed foot on the other, this cigar certainly knows how to make an entrance. I must admit, the first 20 minutes or so were quite dreadful. The draw was frustratingly tight and ended up getting plugged. I made numerous attempts to […]
