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 […]

Drew Estate Undercrown Flying Pig

Simply Magnificent! This cigar is no less than special. Flawless presentation & perfect roll with a nice oily feel. Prestige appearance that was nicely topped off with the lion emblazoned band. The scent of this wrapper was unlike anything I have experienced. Such a deep earthy scent with hints of leather. First third tasted distinctly of […]

Curivari Buenaventura BV500

I wasn’t sure when I first tried this range, but I have come to appreciate that this simple but successful recipe just works, with the end results being a positive experience. Nice but simple presentation, clean but not overly prestige in appearance First third had a nice taste of cedar, this developed into a distinct […]

Curivari Buenaventura Pralines

Good looking cigar with a nice firm pack. First few draws started as medium strength with a nice woody flavour. Draw yet again is flawless with this brand, great amount of smoke for a modest draw. Taste started sweet with a distinct ceder aftertaste. Second third has a toast like flavour with hints of coffee […]

Curivari Buenaventura Dimensiones

This cigar has the basics down pat! Roll was uniform, evenly packed and mild scent from fresh. Yet again this brand did not bring me a very exciting cigar. But it still did a lot right. The draw was perfect, good resistance and amount of smoke. Even burn throughout and ash held well. Medium […]
