CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6 x 60

I love the 50’s Hot Rod theme that the CAO Flathead series embodies. The V660 Carb is a beast at 6 x 60 and box pressed so perfectly the edges could cut you! Scent from fresh is of sweet sweet cocoa with a medium resistance for the cold draw. I used the punch twice in […]

Romeo y Julieta No.1 5.5 x 42

The very first cigar I reviewed on this site was the RYJ No.3. Fourteen months later I thought it was time to revisit this brand and try the RYJ No.1. Opened with a punch this time the cold draw has a taste of Weet-Bix and honey. Draw is pretty tight hopefully not a hindrance. First third […]

Guantanamera Cristales 41 x 150

Ok so it’s getting close to Halloween so time to try something scary… A machine-made cigar! Well at least its Cuban. The band is average to say the least, the wrapper is the definition of bumpy but I have read some good reviews so I am not letting this bother me 🙂 Lets get straight […]

The Wise Man Maduro Robusto 5.5 x 50

It doesn’t take a wise man to see this is a quality cigar!! From the firm pack to the toothy wrapper this cigar really stands out as something special. The cold draw has great resistance but surprisingly little taste. I am a fan of full-bodied cigars but not the biggest fan of intense pepper, and […]

Rocky Patel The Edge Candela Toro 6 x 52

Ever since I learnt of their existence I was keen to try a candela cigar, now I am a big fan of Rocky Patel so I thought I would start with the Edge candela. The striking green really stands out and also accentuates the leaf pattern of the wrapper. The pack is quite solid but […]

The Tabernacle Broadleaf Toro

Instantly you’ll notice the quality of this cigar, firm to the touch with a flawless Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The cap was placed meticulously and such a regal band, I’m impressed. A faint smell of coco and hay was what was first noticed, the cold draw was very light with hints of barnyard. Once lit full […]

Macanudo 1968 Corona 42 x 147

First thing you’ll notice is just how bumpy this cigar is, the veins are quite aggressive nearly to the point of bursting. There is a very interesting smell from fresh, Sulfur like you just lit a match. This scent entices me as much as it scares me. Consensus states this brand is synonymous with mildness, […]

Plasencia Reserva Original Nesticos

I was looking for a smaller cigar to enjoy while watching the Moto GP. This size looked perfect and the fact that it’s made with 100% certified organic tobacco sealed the deal. The bands are what first drew me to this cigar, nice clean and simple but not a fan when they are placed near […]

Catrina De Mi Vida Maduro

As soon as I picked up this cigar it was apparent that it was infused. If you had to guess the item from scent alone 9/10 would say a bouquet of flowers. The roll of this cigar was just as beautiful as the smell with a very smooth chocolate maduro wrapper, exquisite band and triple […]

Flor De Copan Belicosos

The presentation of this cigar is simply stunning. Prestige band followed by a cedar sheath. The wrapper feels like satin with next to no veins. Now don’t be too quick to judge a book by its cover because this cigar is all sparkle and no substance. I truly don’t know if this cigar had a […]
