HVC 500th Anniversary

Winner 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 […]

CLE OG OSOK 2015

One 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 […]

CUBO

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 […]

El Titan De Bronze Red Velvet

This cigar with the double cheesecake band better taste like cheesecake! Okay, this tastes like a relic right from the start – old and musty! The mustiness only lasts a few minutes; transitioning to flavours of dark tobacco and wood. Floral tones also come through from the start which complement well. The dark tobacco is […]
