Liga Privada Unico Serie Ratzilla 6 1/4 x 46

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 […]

ADN Dominicano Robusto 50 x 152

This 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 […]

Bolivar Petit Coronas 42 x 4 7/8

The wrapper of this cigar is incredibly sexy! Astonishingly rustic and a little bumpy but this shows real authenticity! Only minutes have passed and I have to consciously pace myself. Intoxicating hefty clouds of honey oat and barnyard fill the air; pacing myself is becoming a chore but overheating is not an option. Moorish sweet […]

Casa Turrent Origins Series (Miami) Double Robusto 139 x 54

First impression, very soft pack. Cold draw of natural tobacco and wood with very light resistance. Now I think they missed the mark with this black and copper band, it’s trying to be classy but comes across as tacky so a fail for this one. I had a choice of four different wrappers for this […]

Reserva Especial Cuatro Cinco Petit Corona

I purchased this cigar on the recommendation of my local cigar store, described as their most premium blend for the Joya Range. Scent from fresh is an inviting blend of vanilla raisin biscuits. Smooth wrapper with a consistent pack apart from a slightly lumpy cap. Quality band but it’s simply too big for this vitola, […]

The Tabernacle Havana Seed CT #142 Robusto 5 x 50

Sweet chocolate and leather emanate from this marvellously toothy wrapper! Take note, this cigar cuts straight to the chase unleashing full flavour immediately, followed by immense clouds of hot cinnamon pepper and spice finished with sweet cedar. Smoke is thick, strong, and so very spicy! To the point where as soon as the it touches […]

Fratello Oro Gordo 6 x 60

Not sure what I think of the diagonal band, lacks masculinity, not that that matters for a 6″ x 60! Milk chocolate and gold is always a good look, Pack was a little on the soft side with a medium cold draw resistance, no notable flavours from fresh. Surprisingly once lit smoke output was limited […]
