A year ago I had never heard the term “puro”. Yeah I’m a noob, but now this is all I’m hearing. Which in my opinion, is not a bad thing at all. I wasn’t prepared but this is one big pepper bomb, white black and everything in-between, but surprisingly not overbearing so let’s continue. This […]
Read More Royal Affair By AJ FernandezIf 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 […]
Read More Stulac ColaboraciónThis 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 […]
Read More A.A. BruggerI 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 […]
Read More Romeo Y Julieta 1875This 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 […]
Read More The persian rugFeaturing 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 […]
Read More Kafie grey wolfThis rustic light brown wrapper compliments the bold stated band perfectly. This cigar has a slight box press appearance. Upon lighting I found the draw was a little tight with flavours of sweet hay and white pepper showing first. The draw continues to be tight but doesn’t inhibit smoke output. Cedar and leather flavours start […]
Read More Vegas Robaina FamosoI’m a big fan of elaborate cigar bands and this example is epic. This cigar ticks all the boxes for regal presentation with great font for the dual bands, and a silk foot band! Oh yeah, it also rates quite highly with Cigar Aficionado so it’s got that going for it also! Construction is on […]
Read More My Father Le Bijou 1922 Grand Robusto (5 1/4″ x 52)Smoky BBQ scent from fresh, reminiscent of the KFC Flying Pig but not as intoxicating. I really like the size of this cigar with its smooth chocolate brown wrapper, and of course the pig tail is a nice touch. The cold draw has light resistance and a slight hint of hay. Upon lighting white pepper […]
Read More Liga Privada Unico Serie Ratzilla 6 1/4 x 46This cigar is rock solid! You really need a guillotine to cut this cap, it’s a seriously solid cigar! Once finally cut, dark chocolate and peanuts greet you for the cold draw. A surprisingly light draw with a slight hint of sweetness from the start; ten minutes in we are straight to full flavour and […]
