If you have the pleasure of being a Privada member you will know that the tasting notes can be really handy with helping you define flavours. But it can be equally frustrating when you can’t taste what’s listed! To each their own. In this instance liquorice is right on the money. A flavour that I […]
Read More The blanco 9This 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 […]
Read More Vegas Robaina FamosoTwo 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! […]
Read More Curivari Gloria De Leon TremendosAlcohol 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 […]
Read More Dictador Pavo Real Half CoronaI 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 […]
Read More Acid BlondieIs there such a thing as too much cedar? First impression is an unmistakable taste of Weetbix and honey for the cold draw. Now you wouldn’t expect to be surprised by the taste of cedar, but this cigar seems to be infused with its flavour and it’s all dominating! A sweet finish accompanies each draw followed […]
Read More Chateau Fuente Queen B Torpedo 50 x 139As 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 […]
Read More Norteno Corona Extra 4 3/4 x 48I love the 50’s Hot Rod theme that the CAO Flathead series embodies. The V660 Carb is a beast at 6 x 60 and box pressed so perfectly the edges could cut you! Scent from fresh is of sweet sweet cocoa with a medium resistance for the cold draw. I used the punch twice in […]
Read More CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6 x 60Ok so it’s getting close to Halloween so time to try something scary… A machine-made cigar! Well at least its Cuban. The band is average to say the least, the wrapper is the definition of bumpy but I have read some good reviews so I am not letting this bother me 🙂 Lets get straight […]
Read More Guantanamera Cristales 41 x 150It doesn’t take a wise man to see this is a quality cigar!! From the firm pack to the toothy wrapper this cigar really stands out as something special. The cold draw has great resistance but surprisingly little taste. I am a fan of full-bodied cigars but not the biggest fan of intense pepper, and […]
