NUB Habano 4 x 60

From fresh the scent was barnyard with a hint of cedar. Firm with smooth texture. Once lit the draw was very tight not producing much smoke. A couple of draws later it became impossible, plugged up entirely so had to unplug with a skewer. Ok now this is what I am talking about! Once unplugged […]

NUB Connecticut 4 x 60

Just picked up a 4 x sampler of NUB cigars. Love the size and appearance of these cigars this should be enjoyable. Nice silky smooth wrapper for the Connecticut, perfect quality with next to no veins. Wood and buttered popcorn is the perfect description for the smell from fresh, very enticing. The light was flawless, […]

Arturo Fuente Rothschild Maduro 114 x 50

I’m becoming to like this brand. Dark oily wrapper with minimal veins. Little spots and the cap is slightly lifting up but nothing that degrades quality. I like cigars to be as perfect as possible while still showing that it has been made by hand. The smell from fresh is of sweet pastry. Very firm […]

Joya De Nicaragua Red short Churchill 48 x 121

This cigar was a belated birthday present from my closest friends on their first visit to Melbourne. I’m excited to try this cigar, I have really enjoyed others in the range so my hopes are high! The wrapper is a dark reddish-brown, construction is great firm pack with minimal veins, really nice presentation. Cigar lit […]

Zino Classic no. 6 Robusto 50 x 130

More often than not I select a cigar with a darker wrapper like a maduro. This time I made a point not to do this because as you know you cannot judge a book by its wrapper… wait I’m going to be brutally honest I wasn’t overly excited about trying this cigar. From my […]

Arturo Fuente 858 Anniversary 47 x 158

As I have mentioned many times before I really like a nice dark wrapper, the pack was even but there was a slight abrasive feel, like a mild sandpaper. The smell from Fresh is nutty and slightly of hay. Anything nutty is a plus! From the first few draws I knew this was something I […]

MUWAT Review 5/5 Bait fish 4 x 44

This is the last of the MUWAT range that I have acquired and I have to say I have been impressed! The Baitfish is a Great little cigar, one of the lighter wrappers in the range that has a very faint smell from fresh of hay. The smell of hay is common but […]

MUWAT Review 4/5 Night Crawler 4.5 x 52

Now this is a good looking cigar, one of the darker wrappers in the series and definitely a size I prefer at 4.5 x 52. Great smell of cocoa from fresh & this taste was also present for the cold draw. I have probably mentioned this before but I much prefer using a punch. I […]

MUWAT Review 3/5 MUWAT 7×70

First of all the size of this cigar is ridiculous! This is easily the largest cigar I have smoked and it was very intimidating. Just like the Presidente there was a strong smell of chocolate, sweet cocoa with a slight hint of vanilla. The cigar lit very easily, the draw was light with a […]

MUWAT Review 2/5 +11 Robusto 5.5 x 52

Another perfectly made cigar with such an amazing smell of sweet cocoa, just love it! This wrapper is considerably lighter in colour than the others in the range and quite veiny in appearance. The first draws were a little bitter, nothing overbearing and after ten minutes or so started to mellow. Now this could […]
