Cigar Reviews
Oliva Connecticut Reserve Toro
A while back I reviewed the Camacho Connecticut and discussed the other Connecticut that was entering the fray around the same time. Both of these sticks were marketing a fuller bodied smoking experience than your usual Connecticut wrapped cigar. Although I enjoy mostly full bodied sticks, I do enjoy a mid bodied cigar when the […]
Diamond Crown Maximus Robusto #5
The Diamond Crown Maximus was one of the first super premium cigars that came on the market near the end of the cigar boom. Made by Tabacalera A. Fuente for JC Newman in the Dominican Republic, it was a bolder version of the Diamond Crown line that was to appeal the rapidly growing full bodied […]
Quick Smoke: 601 Green Oscuro Corona
I am back with a quasi quick smoke. Although this is a bit longer than the 45 min lunch time smoke I enjoy, this is a good 55 minutes to an hour of smoking time that is perfect for when you don’t have that 1.5 hours of down time to enjoy a Toro or larger. […]
Chateau Real Maduro
Drew Estate is well known for their innovative approach to infused cigars, and because of that their traditional lines of cigars don’t get very much attention. At least that’s my opinion. So today I’ll be smoking the Chateau Real Maduro, which is comes with a maduro wrapper from San Andres, Mexico. The Chateau Real is […]
Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Corojo
For whatever reason good cigars fall in and out of my smoking rotation all the time. I’m not completely sure why that happens, but it probably has something to do with all of the great cigars that are out there to try. Much is the case with the Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve (OWR) Corojo. […]
Cigar Review – Gran Habano Cabinet Selection
I haven’t smoked many cigars from Gran Habano, but what I have had I’ve liked and I thought the price point for the cigars were outstanding. I’m talking about the Connecticut, Habano and Corojo lines. This newer line, Cabinet Selection, is something that I haven’t had or even seen until I visited Crescent City Cigars […]
Arganese ML3
Today I’m firing up the Arganese ML3. I’m a sucker for maduro, and a Brazilian maduro generally excites my palate so I’m naturally excited to try this cigar. Since I’m putting this review together during the Super Bowl I’ll let the video do the talking.
5 Vegas “AAA”
I just can’t get enough of the Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro wrappers. So I’ll admit I’m on a bit of a quest to find any cigar that features that leaf. In my book any cigar is worth a try. So that what brings me to the 5 Vegas “AAA”. This was one of the sticks that […]
Roberto Cigars Blend Test: Reveal
Ok folks…here is the final episode of our series geared towards finding a full bodied blend for Roberto Cigars to add to their line. Here, we go through each blend and Bob tells us what the differences are in each and how they differ from the Standard and Robust Blends that Bob currently produces. I […]
Cigar Review – La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero 660
Litto Gomez first started releasing mild La Flor Dominicana (LFD) when he first started the company, but as time went on, the customer’s taste changed to more full bodied cigars. The Double Ligero is one answer to the call for more full bodied cigars. This cigar is released in both a natural or maduro Ecuadorian […]
