The Vince by Black Bird Cigars

This cigar smells as good as it looks! A box pressed Corona Gorda with a pig tail foot! Yes this cigar is really showing off. Let’s hope it lives up to the hype. Now everyone has had a cigar with a sweet tip, but salty? This is definitely new for me! You can taste the […]

Espinosa Cigars Hialeah Gardens

I don’t know which looks more delicious?! Also again, another barely boxed pressed cigar with just a slight edge to it. I decided to use a V-cutter to cut a crown on this cigar which I am becoming quite fond of. First impressions found the old favourites: pepper, leather and sweet cedar. I didn’t have […]

Stallone

Such a powerful looking cigar and the perfect pairing for some homemade pizza! The wrapper of this cigar appears to be two toned; both being very dark. The pack is quite solid and naturally only softens right near the foot. I have to say I’m a fan of this band; it’s reminiscent of a movie […]

EPC Encore 2017

Just the look of this slightly box pressed cigar gets me excited! First impressions are impressive. A great looking cigar with a scent of aged tobacco and a little barnyard. Cutting the cap exposes a dark streak running down the middle all the way to the foot. Lighting up finds the familiar scent of dry […]

Lost & Found Red Laugh

This cigar gets a lot of mixed reviews. Well nothing better than finding out for yourself. The dark brown wrapper and strong scent of rich tobacco gives me a good idea of what’s in store. First of all I found flavours of black tea and cedar, immediately followed by rich tobacco. These flavours aren’t unexpected […]

Vegas Robaina Famoso

This rustic light brown wrapper compliments the bold stated band perfectly. This cigar has a slight box press appearance. Upon lighting I found the draw was a little tight with flavours of sweet hay and white pepper showing first. The draw continues to be tight but doesn’t inhibit smoke output. Cedar and leather flavours start […]

Curivari Gloria De Leon Tremendos

Two days ago I got married to the love of my life! And in two days time we leave on our honeymoon! The only reason I picked this cigar tonight is because it was the smallest in my humidor, meaning it would be the least amount of time I would be away from my wife! […]

La Vieja Habana Connecticut Shade Chateau Corona

Drew Estate was my brand of choice when I started my cigar journey. I don’t smoke that many now, but I still know they rarely disappoint. I’ve mentioned many times now that connecticut shade wrappers are becoming my favourite. And I’m sure I’ll mention it again. I haven’t smoked a cigar in two months and […]

Smoking Jacket

Another cigar with a whole lot of hype around it that I want to believe! I don’t read too much into hyped cigars but the hype worked this time, I’m really keen to see what all the fuss is about. This cigar looks just great from the start. Nice pack with good resistance and feel. […]

The Cannoli By Amendola

There is a lot of hype around this cigar. Let’s see if it lives up to it! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I love a box pressed cigar. This is a great looking cigar overall. The cold draw tastes like honey and Weet-Bix; Any Australian knows exactly what this tastes like. […]
