Test blend 4

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 […]

La Palina Illumination

Let’s hope this cigar is illuminating… This cigar has an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and binder, combined with Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, which make for an intriguing composition. Right from the start, it impresses with an effortless lighting process, delivering a satisfying draw and abundant smoke output. During the initial stages, the flavors of black pepper […]

Let’s go all out with this review for such a special occasion! Introduction: There are moments in life that deserve to be celebrated in extraordinary ways. For the birth of my daughter Eden, I couldn’t think of a better time to indulge in a special cigar I’ve been saving. The Weller by Cohiba, a magnificent […]

Unbanded royal

This has been the best cigar in my humidor for a while now, let’s not let it go to waste! 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 […]

CAO Flathead Sparkplug

The Flathead range of cigars is absolutely impressive. And who wouldn’t love a sparkplug cigar with a pigtail! When I cut the cap I noticed a relatively large hole, about 5x5mm, but surprisingly it didn’t cause much of an issue. Once lit, this little cigar delivers a powerful punch with an abundance of black pepper […]

Fratello navetta

The smell from fresh is an intoxicating aroma of sweet cocoa and earth. What this guy lacks in length is definitely made up in girth. My cutter was maxed out trying to cut this 60 ring gauge cap. (4 x 60) Cedar and dark earth are the first flavours found with a little bit of white […]

Rocky Patel LB1

I really love the gold on white band, but I find the name “insert factory code here” a bit uninspired. While I couldn’t identify a distinct scent from the fresh cigar, the cold draw revealed sweet cedar notes. Upon lighting, my first impression was of a smooth and powerful cedar smoke bomb, producing thick clouds […]
