I’ll say it again, Connecticut shade wrappers are quickly becoming my favourite. This smooth connecticut shade wrapper has a very faint but sweet scent from fresh. The first third is as subtle as it smells with a sweetness lingering on the finish. The smoke however is a little wispy and powdery. The second third bought […]

This is a beast of a cigar with an impressive shimmering halo band! This cigar is a status symbol, if you’re a bit of a show off this cigar is for you. The pack is solid but the draw resistance is spot on once lit. First flavours are of hay and liquorice. This is a […]

There’s a lot of Hype behind this cigar. It pretty much goes “Great flavours, shit construction” The San Andres wrapper is dark and dripping! It is so dark and has so much sheen it looks wet. Thankfully, it is not. The cold draw has very light resistance, now the paranoia sets in. Luckily the draw […]

The first thing that comes to mind when I look at this cigar is Rocky Patel. So many RP cigars are the same shape/size and softly boxed pressed. Just perfect. Cutting the cap and lighting greets you with the unmistakable flavour of cedar; the smoke output is great right from the start also. Even though […]

My Father Le Bijou 1922 Grand Robusto (5 1/4″ x 52)

I’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 […]

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 […]

Chateau Fuente Queen B Torpedo 50 x 139

Is there such a thing as too much cedar? First impression is an unmistakable taste of Weetbix and honey for the cold draw. Now you wouldn’t expect to be surprised by the taste of cedar, but this cigar seems to be infused with its flavour and it’s all dominating! A sweet finish accompanies each draw followed […]

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 […]
