Rocky Patel The Edge Habano

Continuing through The Edge range of Rocky Patel cigars I am yet again impressed by the quality & presentation. Good size, firm pack & oily wrapper. This is the lightest shade of wrapper in the sampler pack I received and it was a very smooth smoke. This range is impressive regardless if marketed as a […]

Rocky Patel The Edge Corojo

I am trying the Toro today and am surprised by the size of this cigar. Not really a fan of the simplified band at the end but the quality overshone this little detail. Initially, Very spicy, Very intense and quite intimidating! Thankfully after the first third the cigar slightly mellowed. The spice moved into the […]

Joya De Nicaragua Clasico Torpedo

I was impressed with the presentation of this cigar. Well rolled and silky smooth to the touch with barely visible veins, class all the way! This was the first cigar produced from this brand, and during the United states Cuban embargo this was the only brand to be recognised as the official cigar of the […]

Quintero Favoritos

I really like robusto cigars, not a fan of the smaller ring sizes and nobody got time for those epic 2+ hour smokes. This suits me just fine 🙂 This cigar felt slightly moist, it had been in a more humid environment that expected. The wrapper was quite bumpy with a number of […]

Jose L. Piedra Conservas

If this cigar was described as a dress code then it would be smart casual, appealing but not overdone. I used the punch on this small gauge cigar and all went well, lighting was a little too easy so I was concerned it was maybe too dry. Once lit there was a strong taste of […]

Arturo Fuente Curly Head Deluxe Maduro

The first few draws had such a great taste of cedar, medium flavour for the first third with a nice draw. I was a little concerned using the punch for a cigar of this ring gauge but it worked perfectly. I am a big fan of the maduro wrapper, this wrapper is probably the […]

Ashton VSG Corona Gorda

Big fan of the sun grown wrapper, more authentic look with raised veins and slight imperfections, nonetheless a nicely made cigar. Very light barnyard/hay smell from fresh with a hint of cedar. This cigar felt slightly dry and unfortunately the cap cracked slightly when using the punch, not too bad though so nothing to worry […]

Kentucky Fire Cured Flying Pig

Have you ever thrown a bottle of BBQ sauce into a camp fire?? No…well if you had then you would know exactly what this cigar smells like. This cigar had such an intense smell from fresh that I put it in its own section in my humidor. I was actually concerned that it would […]

Liga Privada Unico Serie Feral Flying Pig

This cigar had a very different scent from the other pigs, wrapper was considerably more oily. I was looking forward to this one the most! Largest of the flying pig range with a very firm pack this cigar is simply impeccable. From the start I found this cigar unbelievably smooth. Woody taste with just a […]

Drew Estate Liga Privada T52 Flying Pig

Construction is perfect, which seems consistent of all the pigs from Drew Estate. Earthy smell from fresh with a slight hint of spice. I really like this earthy taste. A taste of herbs with a sweetness at the end, burn is as even as can be. Ten minutes and only a centimeter gone, a slightly […]
