Unbanded royal

This has been the best cigar in my humidor for a while now, let’s not let it go to waste! This particular cigar has been aged for an impressive six years, showcasing the careful craftsmanship that went into its creation. The tobacco itself was aged previously for 7 years before being expertly rolled, making this […]

FLor de selva white rose

Different, but familiar. Smell from fresh, cedar. Lighting up, cedar. I’m not talking about just plain old cedar this is extreme cedar like you have never tasted before! Twenty minutes in this nicotine rich cigar has me up and going. The smoke it a little powdery and now laced with espresso, not one for the […]

Kafie grey wolf

Featuring a smooth dark maduro wrapper with a pigtail on one end and a semi-closed foot on the other, this cigar certainly knows how to make an entrance. I must admit, the first 20 minutes or so were quite dreadful. The draw was frustratingly tight and ended up getting plugged. I made numerous attempts to […]

CAO Flathead Sparkplug

The Flathead range of cigars is absolutely impressive. And who wouldn’t love a sparkplug cigar with a pigtail! When I cut the cap I noticed a relatively large hole, about 5x5mm, but surprisingly it didn’t cause much of an issue. Once lit, this little cigar delivers a powerful punch with an abundance of black pepper […]

Fratello navetta

The smell from fresh is an intoxicating aroma of sweet cocoa and earth. What this guy lacks in length is definitely made up in girth. My cutter was maxed out trying to cut this 60 ring gauge cap. (4 x 60) Cedar and dark earth are the first flavours found with a little bit of white […]

factory smokes sun grown churchill

This is the third factory smoke I have tried from Drew Estate and by far the largest! This is one soft cigar, my storage is on point so let’s see where this goes. There is not much scent from fresh maybe a little sweet hay on the cold draw which is incredibly light. Upon lighting […]

Rojas KSG Red

Today I had the pleasure of trying the Rojas KSG Red, also known as the King of the Small Gauge. As a fan of Lanceros, I was initially surprised to see that this cigar was slightly bigger in gauge than what I was used to, but I was eager to give it a try nonetheless. […]

Socrates 458

Back to back with the short and stout; 4 x 60 Ciclope last week and now the Socrates 4 x 58. Both these cigars are made by Curivari and I have to say they look nearly identical, but this one has a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper. Once lit you’ll be inundated with thick and […]

CURIVARI CICLOPE 460

I usually feel ripped off smoking a small cigar, but sometimes they last longer than expected. Especially with a ring gauge of 60! I used a punch and the cold draw is ultra light; even when lit the draw is still light but produces an amazing amount of smoke! This Nicaraguan wrapper is very dark […]
