Curivari Buenaventura Picadores

Not overly impressed with the make of this cigar, poor finish and flaky wrapper… Damn ugly, already over it!

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Robusto

Cigar was weighty, slightly oily and packed solid. Great appearance ticked all boxes for presentation. This was my first time using a cigar punch which I recommend. Really liked that it left the cap intact. First draws were very light which quickly subsided to medium with full strength. First third had a hint of coffee […]

Luis Martinez Silver Selection Hamilton Robusto
