Drew Estate Undercrown Shade Flying Pig

This cigar looks perfect, just like all Drew estate flying pigs do! A light colour wrapper that has distinct hay -barnyard scent from fresh. Ceder notes from the start with medium strength & flavor from the first few draws. Finish has a slight sweetness with a hint of spice. From the second third a […]

Drew Estate Undercrown Flying Pig

Simply Magnificent! This cigar is no less than special. Flawless presentation & perfect roll with a nice oily feel. Prestige appearance that was nicely topped off with the lion emblazoned band. The scent of this wrapper was unlike anything I have experienced. Such a deep earthy scent with hints of leather. First third tasted distinctly of […]

Curivari Buenaventura BV500

I wasn’t sure when I first tried this range, but I have come to appreciate that this simple but successful recipe just works, with the end results being a positive experience. Nice but simple presentation, clean but not overly prestige in appearance First third had a nice taste of cedar, this developed into a distinct […]

Curivari Buenaventura Pralines

Good looking cigar with a nice firm pack. First few draws started as medium strength with a nice woody flavour. Draw yet again is flawless with this brand, great amount of smoke for a modest draw. Taste started sweet with a distinct ceder aftertaste. Second third has a toast like flavour with hints of coffee […]

Curivari Buenaventura Dimensiones

This cigar has the basics down pat! Roll was uniform, evenly packed and mild scent from fresh. Yet again this brand did not bring me a very exciting cigar. But it still did a lot right. The draw was perfect, good resistance and amount of smoke. Even burn throughout and ash held well. Medium […]

Curivari Buenaventura Picadores

Not overly impressed with the make of this cigar, poor finish and flaky wrapper… Damn ugly, already over it! While using the punch the cap split… Ok this is not helping… As you see by the above picture there were positives that outweighed the negatives. This cigar had a faint but nice smell from fresh. […]

Buenaventura cremas

This cigar felt a little dry, even the smoke initially tasted dry. Just received this cigar in the post so maybe it was not stored correctly. Once lit there was a very strong taste, I have to say it was not overly pleasant. Roll was uniform but quite veiny, not overly impressed with […]

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Robusto

Cigar was weighty, slightly oily and packed solid. Great appearance ticked all boxes for presentation. This was my first time using a cigar punch which I recommend. Really liked that it left the cap intact. First draws were very light which quickly subsided to medium with full strength. First third had a hint of coffee […]

Rocky Patel Decade Cameroon Robusto

My experience with Rocky Patel Cigars so far have been interesting. I am excited to see what the decade brings. This particular cigar felt a little soft, evenly packed and a very strong smell of hay from fresh. Light draw that produced a good amount of smoke, the aftertaste is where this cigar really […]

Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary Robusto

Great presentation with a perfect roll. Still weird on the box press shape though. White pepper aroma from fresh. I have read countless good reviews on this cigar so pretty excited 🙂 I light all my cigars with cedar spills, it gives such a great initial flavour before the cigars own characteristics come out. Very […]
