A. Turrent Toro
This isn’t what I had originally scheduled for today’s review, but I just got back from eating Mexican food with my wife and cousin and thought this cigar would be fitting. Remembering I had a A. Turrent cigar from Mexico, I thought it would be a great time to try it out. I’ve never had […]
La Riqueza No. 4
La Riqueza cigars came out in June 2008 and were created by Pete Johnson and Don Pepin Garcia in his Tabacalera Cubana S.A. factory. The cigar uses Connecticut broadleaf wrapper that was purchase from the Oliva family. The binder and filler are both from Nicaragua. It’s the first cigar with a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper for […]

La Aroma De Cuba is an old Cuban brand that was a favorite of Sir Winston Churchill. The Cuban brand has been long gone, but thanks to Ashton Cigars, La Aroma De Cuba was reintroduced in 2002. No longer made in Cuba, this cigar is made in Honduras using Cuban-seed Honduran wrapper, Honduran binder and […]

Partagas Serie D No. 4
The Partagas Serie D No. 4 (PSD4) is probably the most famous and most loved robusto on the market today. First introduced in the 1930s as an export cigar for the British market, it was discontinued around 1965. Luckily for us, it was reintroduced in 1975 (my birthday year!) and has grown in popularity ever since. Known as a full power spice bomb, it’s always been one of the highest rated robustos whenever it is scored by Cigar Aficionado or anyone else. This cigar is from April 2004 so it has some good age on it. Let’s see how it tastes.
Tatuaje Jibaro No. 2
I got this cigar from a fellow BOTL on Cigar Weekly that was in Beverly Hill, CA and was at Pete Johnson’s shop. He picked up a few fivers for some of us on Cigar Weekly and I was lucky enough to be one of them. At first, I didn’t know much about the cigar […]
Bahia Blu B500 Robusto
The Bahia Blu got a lot of talk on Twitter with the BOTLs, so I decided to try a bundle. A couple of clicks and I had one ordered from CigarsInternational.com. The Bahia Blu is a medium bodied cigar that is a Nicaraguan puro made by Tony Borhani. The wrapper is a 3 year aged […]
Kristoff Corojo Torpedo
Last week, I sampled a relatively hard to find cigar in the Cruzado that turned out to be a really great cigar. Today, I review another relatively hard to find cigar in the Kristoff Corojo Torpedo. Will the scarceness translate into goodness like the Cruzado did? Let’s find out.
