AJF Habano ROb 5 1/2 x 54

Upon opening the cellophane, the aroma of this cigar is immediately reminiscent of well-aged tobacco. The cellophane itself appears to be quite clear though? This cigar is an exploration into a new test blend, and it does seem a bit rough around the edges. Notably, both the cap and foot appear to be coming apart […]

Classique

I recently had the pleasure of discovering another classic gem from Privada: The Classique. This Dominican cigar boasts a remarkable 10-year aging process and sports an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper. Let’s start with the wrapper itself. It might surprise you, but upon first glance, it doesn’t quite resemble your typical Connecticut shade wrapper. Instead, it’s […]

I chose the cigar I would enjoy tonight based on its alluring scent; though I couldn’t quite pinpoint the exact fragrance, I knew it was the right choice for the evening. Upon lighting, I immediately noticed savoury notes, with hints of graham crackers and mild wood, and a pleasant white pepper finish. The smoke production […]

This marks my seventh encounter with a La Aurora blend, and my expectations were high.

The persian rug

This is the best thing to come from a website hack for sure! When I cracked open this cigar, an awesome fresh cedar smell greeted me. When lit the ash didn’t hold on for long, maybe because this smoke felt a tad dry? The main players here are cedar and black pepper which produced some […]

K decandencia by karen berger

I’m still amazed by the endless amount of cigar brands and this is another beautiful example. The cold draw offered pleasant notes of caramel and barnyard. This cigar was beautifully box-pressed, almost perfectly square in shape. During the initial draws, I was greeted with a delightful sweetness resembling caramel, accompanied by a great resistance and […]

subterraneo cobalum

I feel like I should be scared? There’s always a degree of truth with mythology. This cigar has a super dark wrapper and tightly packed construction, resulting in a light draw. However, this doesn’t hinder the production of large clouds of smoke. It is a 5×50 size and belongs to a collector series inspired by […]
