Cigar Reviews
CAO Brazilia Gol
Coming at you from Jungle Jim’s in Cincinnati, OH, I have my brother in-law in tow at a CAO event where we are reviewing the CAO Brazilia Gol. The event at Jungle Jim’s was a great time with some great deals on CAO stuff. We bought a box of La Traviata and received a great […]
Custom Rolled Cuban Cigar
I recently got a custom rolled cigar using cuban tobacco from a friend of mine, @brooktrouttn, to see what I thought of the cigar. He actually sent me two and this is the first of the batch, torpedo. I judge the cigar to be about 6 1/2″ to 6 1/4″ and about a 50 ring […]
Blind Exchange: Review No. 3
Now it’s time for the third installment of the blind exchange series. This time I’m sitting down with a dark brown, nearly black churchill. Like the rest of the reviews in this series, I don’t have any information about this cigar, so the opinion I deliver should be unbiased. Let’s fire it up.
Quick Ash: Tatuaje Petit Tatuaje
In my search for a great “lunchtime†cigar, I have tried many different “small†cigars from multiple manufacturers. In the beginning I often ran into the same issue when trying these smaller vitolas. Most of the time I really enjoyed the blends in the larger standard formats but felt there was usually something lost in […]
San Cristobal Seleccion del Sol
At the 2009 IPCPR Ashton introduced the new San Cristobal Seleccion del Sol which, like the original San Cristobal, is blended by Don Pepin Garcia. This cigar features a Nicaraguan Sun Grown wrapper that was hand picked by Don Pepin and his son Jaime from the first crop of tobacco grown in the Estrella farm […]

Today I’m reviewing the Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Legend. This cigar features the same Ometepe tobacco that was featured in the Punch Uppercut that Ben reviewed recently. This cigar was created to be a full-bodied addition to the Excalibur line and was released at the 2008 IPCPR trade show. This cigar is available in 3 […]
Blind Exchange: Review No. 2
Last week I started off a new series of blind reviews here on Nice Tight Ash. Charlie provided me with 5 un-banded cigars, and it’s my job to smoke them and see how well the perform. So since I’m smoking these cigars blind, and I don’t have much information to share on them, i’ll just […]
My Father Cedros Deluxe Cervantes
This week I’m reviewing the My Father Cedros Deluxe Cervantes. These cigars were graciously given to me by @BigABoyd to review. Thanks Aaron! These cigars are a subset of the regular My Father line in two size that aren’t in the regular line: Eminentes – 5 5/8 x 46 (corona gorda) Cervantes – 6 1/2 […]
Blind Exchange: Review No. 1
Charlie and I really had a good time doing the Blind Reviews, but since we don’t live as close anymore those review aren’t as feasible as they once were. So now we’ve decided to exchange some un-banded cigars to review. This is the first review of the series, so sit back and enjoy while I […]
