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. […]
262 Paradigm Torpedo
262 is a new cigar company to the scene and has called for a revolution in the cigar world. 262’s name is based on the Cuban trade embargo that started in February 2, 1962….2-62. After SCHIP and the FDA’s heavy handed move to oversee the cigar industry, 262 declares enough is enough….revolution. In support of […]
Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real
Happy Friday everyone. In the interest of kicking off the weekend I’m going to keep things short today. I’m diving back into the humidor to take a look at a cigar from one of the “classic” cigar companies. Name: Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Company: Altadis U.S.A. Inc. 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 […]
Viaje Skull and Bones
Directly on the heels of the popular Reserva line comes the Skull and Bones. This cigar features a sun grown criollo wrapper and a Nicaraguan binder and filler. They come 25 to a box and sell for $9.00. Al Duffrin from Viaje cigars asked me to review these cigars and due to my affection for […]
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 […]
Lempira Fuerte
I apologize to all you ash-holes for not getting a post up on Monday. Last weekend was jam packed, and although I smoked a ton of cigars, I just never had the chance to sit down and put a review together. But today I’m back with a cigar that I had never heard of until […]
Avo Signature
This week I’m reviewing the Avo Signature belicoso. This cigar was originally released in 2001 as the Avo 75th Anniversary cigar and features an Ecaudorian habano sun grown wrapper grown exclusively for this cigar, a ligero binder from San Vincente and 4 different types of Dominican tobaccos for the filler. Vitola: torpedo Size: 6 x […]
Brick House
The Brick House was first introduced in 1937 by J.C. Newman as a Havana Clear. Havana Clears were cigars rolled in the United States with Cuban tobacco. Fast forward to the present and J.C. Newman has reintroduced this line of cigars now using Nicaraguan tobacco. The new line was introduced at the 2009 IPCPR trade […]
