FLor de selva white rose

Different, but familiar. Smell from fresh, cedar. Lighting up, cedar. I’m not talking about just plain old cedar this is extreme cedar like you have never tasted before! Twenty minutes in this nicotine rich cigar has me up and going. The smoke it a little powdery and now laced with espresso, not one for the […]

The smell from fresh is an intoxicating aroma of sweet cocoa and earth. What this guy lacks in length is definitely made up in girth. My cutter was maxed out trying to cut this 60 ring gauge cap. (4 x 60) Cedar and dark earth are the first flavours found with a little bit of white […]

I really love the gold on white band, but I find the name “insert factory code here” a bit uninspired. While I couldn’t identify a distinct scent from the fresh cigar, the cold draw revealed sweet cedar notes. Upon lighting, my first impression was of a smooth and powerful cedar smoke bomb, producing thick clouds […]

What’s your favourite vitola? I would have to say the robusto is right up there and this is a damn fine example! Since the origins of this cigar are undisclosed I have to take a random guess that this is a Habano wrapper. It has a rich smell from fresh a “cuban” type taste once […]

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 […]
