Rocky Patel Sungrown Robusto

First impressions are that this is a large robusto, longer than usual with a decent weight. Such an amazing smell, intoxicating from fresh. A nice prestige look with a double band, great roll & barely any veins. Perfect! Cut was a little dry and slightly crumbly, but I think this was mainly from my […]

Luis Martinez Silver Selection Hamilton Robusto

Nice looking cigar, well packed and uniform roll. First impressions were that this cigar was a little dry, and this thought was strengthened when cut and appeared to crumble slightly. First third was pleasant, good draw meduim strength and mild flavour, nothing outstanding. Unfortunaly this was as good as it got, not that it […]

Quorum Shade Robusto

I liked the way this cigar presented itself, picture doesn’t give it justice but a very uniformed roll, no soft spots and very mild scent from fresh. The last Quorum Robusto I smoked was too light in flavour for me and I was a little worried this smoke was going to be the same. […]

Gurkha Overruns Robusto

When I first looked at this cigar I was wondering why it didn’t have a band, a little research later discovered that “overrun” meant the cigar was not up to the standard that the company expected. For me, this shows that their standards are top-notch. Such a great smell, strong full-bodied aroma, tightly […]

Casa de Garcia Sumatra Robusto

I found that this was a very solid packed cigar, nearly rock hard. Difficult to cut but easy to light. Such a strong aroma from fresh very enticing! Smooth flavour from first light. A sweeter taste than most I have tried so far which was unexpected, this continued into the last third. From […]

Flor De Oliva Robusto Corojo

Lit surprisingly easy, so much that the end held a flame till I blew it out. Worried was too dry but sure my humidor is on point. This cigar was unlike any I have smoked so far. Strong flavour at the beginning smoothing out and becoming quite mellow at the end. Flavours become more defined instead […]

H.Upmann Corona Major

This cigar ticked all the boxes! Draw had nice resistance producing a good amount of smoke (Tick) Pronounced flavours from the get go (Tick) Nice even burn (Tick) Was very impressed with this cigar, had a stronger but not overbearing flavour which was consistent throughout. Started to get a little sour at the end […]

Punch Petit Coronations

Still on the Cuban run I found this a very interesting little cigar. A little slow to light but after my first draw I was certain that I would enjoy! A good resistance from the start, I don’t like too much air in the draw and produced a good amount of smoke and great […]
