The Full Moon By Cavalier Cigars

Privada really do pull out all the stops when it comes to Halloween! This is one good-looking cigar with an awesome full mood band. Below this band is some gold leaf, which looks like the reflection of the moon over water. Very impressive. The only thing I can fault is the cap; it’s a little […]

Epic La Rubia Lancero

Epic is a pretty bold brand name, I expect big things. The smell from fresh is unmistakably sweet cedar. The first few draws taste just like Corn flakes with white sugar on top, and reminds me of my youth and subsequently countless dentist visits… I had a lancero curse for such a long time, it’s […]

Privada Spirits: Cognac

So, as you have probably figured out, this cigar is made to pair with COGNAC. Since I don’t have any, I will have to see how it goes on its own. This is one good-looking cigar. It’s the wrapper that gets your attention, dark with a nice oily sheen. I wish I only got a […]

Stulac Colaboración

If this stick isn’t a doppelganger of most ‘My Father’ cigars then I’m going blind. What’s not to like with this 5×54 box pressed beauty? Check out this barrel aged Nicaraguan Habano wrapper adorned with a work of art for a band and a foot band, just in case you didn’t realise this is one […]

A.A. Brugger

This cigar, (Re)created from an old tale, piques one’s curiosity. The dark wrapper exudes an aged aroma, and as it’s ignited, the senses are engulfed by aged cedar and rich tobacco notes, foretelling a robust experience. The ash finally yielded at the 30-minute mark. This cigar boasts a solid construction, delivering a generous volume of […]

Romeo Y Julieta 1875

I have always considered RYJ to be a traditional Cuban brand, but with an Indonesian wrapper and a Dominican binder and long filler, this blend promises an interesting experience. Right from the start, it exudes the classic Cuban flavour profile, featuring clouds of cedar, white pepper, and other woody notes. What sets it apart from […]

Padilla catcher in the rye

I haven’t read many books, but ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ is one of them. The 6 x 54 size of this cigar is just perfect for my liking. This example lit beautifully, had the perfect draw producing abundant plumes of smoke. Not a bad start at all. It seems like Privada has a love-hate […]

mango cedar

In a world where everyone seems to be collaborating with mango, why not cigars as well? The presentation of this cigar is impeccable, also this cigar was neatly all wrapped like a candy bar. Upon opening it, you’re greeted with a perfect example of a lonsdale cigar, adorned with a small band featuring nothing but […]

The Mack

Burger time! At first puff, it’s as if the wrapper is toying with your senses. This cigar delivers an intriguing flavour profile, reminiscent of a homestyle burger. Notes of meat and pickles, enveloped in a smoky embrace that blankets your palate. There’s a subtle presence of barely cooked onions in the mix also. As the […]
