Sake Nigiri

This is the last of the three cigars in the Privada Sushi range. Vitola: 6 x 46Wrapper: Ecuadorian HabanoBinder: Ecuadorian HabanoFiller: Especial Right from the first draw, this cigar is impressively smooth. I often find the opening puffs of most cigars to be the least enjoyable, but that is not the case here at all—this […]

cohiba red dot

01/01/24 – Let’s start this year off right with a Cohiba Red Dot Robusto. This is one smooth cigar. I haven’t smoked cigars for about three months and am slowly getting back into it. The first cigar I smoked recently knocked me off my feet, which was to be expected, but I thought this one […]

Cohiba Macassar Toro Grande

A collaboration between Cohiba and Jay-Z, this cigar is something special and ultra dope in my opinion. I’m very happy I had the chance to give it a go! Right from the start, this is one smooth cigar. It offers a little wood, white pepper, and a faint fruit sweetness on the finish. The smoke […]

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 […]

Dictador Pavo Real Half Corona

Alcohol companies making cigars to pair? Seems like a good idea to me. I’m pretty sure this company would be pissed I’m pairing this with a pale ale, but to each their own. I used a v-cut to open this cigar which smokes pretty good. The smoke does taste a little hot and dry but […]

Acid Blondie

I can just see the cigar purists cringing right now. As you can see by this post I’m no purist. I really don’t mind smoking an infused cigar now and then – it’s fun to mix it up. Similar to many infused cigars you will find the cap is sugar sweet. The scent from fresh […]

Norteno Corona Extra 4 3/4 x 48

As I browse which cigar to buy next I have found it’s becoming increasingly difficult to avoid the Drew Estate brand. Firstly because there is such huge variety but most importantly they rarely disappoint. Unlike the picture suggests you can find a good or even great cigar without having to break the bank. Well Maybe […]
