Fuente Fuente Opus X Perfexion No. 5
I recently received a package from Cigars Direct with a few cigars for me to review. One of which I was pretty eager to fire up. Now I’ve had plenty of Opus X over the years, but I always feel a sense of excitement when I pick up a new batch plus I couldn’t recall […]

La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinets
This review comes to you courtesy of a request from Mike at Stogie Review. He was curious to hear my thoughts on this cigar, so I thought I’d fulfill his wish. But to be perfectly honest, I’ve always enjoyed the LFD Cameroon Cabinets, so I figured this review would be a simple one. But to […]
Room 101 “305”
Today I’ve decided to review a cigar that I actually named as one of my most disappointing cigars of 2009. This cigar had a lot of buzz leading up the the 2009 IPCPR show, and actually got some good reviews following the show. However, when I first sampled the cigar I was less than impressed. […]

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: […]
Illusione ~88~
We’ve reviewed a few different Illusione products over the last year. But each cigar provides a different experience, so I thought I’d add one more to our library of Illusione reviews. Today I’m firing up the ~88~ which if memory serves me correctly was my first introduction to Illusione Cigars. Name: Robust ~88~ Company: Illusione […]

Paul Gramirian Reserva Excluvisa
Today’s cigar comes to us from Paul Gramirian. I generally treat this brand of cigars as celebratory cigars. I’m never let down by them and the high price point keeps them out of my regular smoking rotation. However, these cigars are not so ridiculously priced that I can’t pick up a handful from time to […]
