Connecticut shade wrappers are getting higher and higher on my list of favourite wrappers. It’s mild but tasty – a great combo. The draw is incredibly light from the start, and quite hard to smoke. Luckily 10 minutes later the draw comes good which is a relief. First we start with mild flavours of cedar […]
Read More Espinosa Connecticut Cuban LinkI love a box-pressed cigar, that is all. I do like a box-pressed cigar, but not as much as this nice toothy wrapper. When I first lit this cigar I thought it may have been infused – the first flavours are sugary, sweet. Okay I get what’s going on now; the sweet hit is to […]
Read More Blackbird Idalia 108I like the band, regardless of what it says 🙂 Let’s get straight to it, the first third of this cigar is pretty weird. It’s really hard to describe what you get from the start, but my best guess would be metallic white pepper and faint leather. I’m just as confused as when I read […]
Read More Archive Cigars Japan Highland MaduroWinner 2019 Limited cigar of the year. Let’s see what you’ve got! I made a mistake on this from the start and used a V cutter. I found this cigar to be too oily for this cut and too much tar accumulated. Fixing with a straight cut not long after was a definite improvement. Privada […]
Read More HVC 500th AnniversaryOne shot, one kill. Classic COD. Ok I’m not playin’ around with this lancero let’s light it up. Straight away you’ll get an odd sort of tangy flavour on your tongue, followed by earth and burnt wood. I just love the way a lancero smokes, it has an easy draw that produces plenty of cool […]
Read More CLE OG OSOK 2015The band of this cigar was envisioned before this cigar ever existed; a so called cigar for the people. Now this is a fine band: finely outlined in gold on black, classic. Now let’s hope this cigar is more than just a cock of the roost! The Desvalido is a decent sized cigar but what’s […]
Read More Dapper DesvalidoAll natural! I used to think all cigars were 100% natural but this is not the case. No pesticides were used to make this cigar and alongside using a natural form of fermentation, this makes the cigar as pure as you can get! The fresh draw tastes of milk chocolate but once alight a pronounced […]
Read More Montenegro Black Serie F ToroToday my girlfriend became my fiancée! There couldn’t be a better reason to celebrate! There’s a great smell of cocoa and leather from fresh. This cigar has a solid construction with no change in resistance till you’re right at the foot. The first few draws taste mainly of black pepper; resistance though is just perfect […]
Read More Aganorsa Leaf Amish Dark Split PretzelI have to say I’m really enjoying the Privada Cigar Club subscription. Happy to just sit back and relax and let someone else do all the hard work 🙂 I love the dark chocolate colour of this wrapper. It’s also incredibly smooth with a firm pack right to the foot. Looking at the foot you […]
Read More CLE 2013 (Aged 7 Years)The first time I tried to smoke this cigar it plugged up big time! So this is Cubo take #2. Okay this is more like it; lighting up was easy with good smoke output. The burn is a little wavy but nothing to worry about. The first flavours I found are quite mineral, backed with […]
