Initial Thoughts: Whenever I go into a review of a cigar from Black Works Studio, I go into it expecting flavors of deeply roasted coffee. And that’s what I’m expecting with today’s cigar from the August Platinum Box from Luxury Cigar Club, the Black Works Studio NBK Corona Larga. The Black Works Studio NBK Corona […]

One of the best reasons to join a cigar subscription club is to have the opportunity to try new things as well as some cigars you might not be able to find at your local brick and mortar shop. Cigar clubs, subscription boxes, cigar of the month clubs, whatever you want to call them, are […]

Initial Thoughts: Some cigar makers I like. Other cigar makers… well, let’s just say I don’t love their signature sauce. So, when it’s time to review cigars like today’s, the E.P. Carrillo La Historia Rothschild, I approach the review with open eyes, a clean palate, and cautious optimism. The first thing you’ll notice with just […]

Initial Thoughts: In general, we’re fans of Joya de Nicaragua cigars here at the CigarScore studios. Like Gran Habano, JdN generally makes a good cigar at a fair price. So, when I wanted something I thought I’d enjoy, I grabbed today’s cigar, the Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo El Martillo. After pulling the cigar […]

Initial Thoughts: It’s not every day I get to review a cigar that the community wants me to. But, after the September Luxury Cigar Club unboxing video, you guys asked me to review today’s cigar, the AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro Lancero Special Edition. After liberating the lancero from the cellophane, the wrapper had an […]

Initial Thoughts: Some Caldwell cigars I like. Some Caldwell cigars I do not like. So, when I got this Caldwell Anastasia Caspia Corona from Luxury Cigar Club, I was cautiously optimistic. But, you guys asked for the review, so here we go! Today’s cigar is the Caldwell Anastasia Caspia Corona, and it’s chock full of […]

Initial Thoughts: Camacho is no stranger to CigarScore. In fact, the Camacho Connecticut is one of our favorite cigars to pair with coffee. So, when I had the chance to grab a Camacho sampler on Cigar Monster and get today’s cigar with it, I was super-stoked! Today we’re smoking and reviewing the Camacho American Barrel […]

Initial Thoughts: Right off the bat, I noticed an intoxicating aroma coming off the Kristoff Habano Corona. While I don’t think we’ve reviewed a Kristoff cigar before, we have smoked them in the past, even if it’s not a brand we pick up often. Today’s cigar is the Kristoff Habano Corona, and after pulling the […]

Initial Thoughts: Sindicato Cigars isn’t a brand with which we’re all too familiar with here at CigarScore HQ. Though we’ve reviewed one of their cigars before, we don’t know a lot about the brand itself. However, today we’re reviewing the Sindicato Maduro Toro. It’s got a pigtail tip, a foot that’s almost closed, and the […]

Initial Thoughts: While I have reviewed a Serino Royale 20th Anniversary Maduro XX before, that was over a year ago, and before we launched CigarScore TV. So, when I went into today’s review of the Belicoso vitola of the Serino Royale 20th Anniversary Maduro XX that I received from CigarClub.com, I went into it with […]

Initial Thoughts: Other than having an incredibly long name (the full name is the Alec Bradley 1633 Connecticut First Crop Robusto), I know next to nothing about today’s cigar. That said, once I took the Alec Bradley 1633 Connecticut Robusto out of its cellophane, I was greeted with a pleasant aroma. After punching the end, […]

Initial Thoughts: For my birthday this year, I received this AJ Fernandez / Drew Estate Connecticut sampler. And, while I was excited about the Undercrown Shades that I’ve reviewed here, I wasn’t particularly looking forward to the other half of the sampler and today’s cigar, the AJ Fernandez Iron Horse Connecticut Toro. However, after removing […]

Initial Thoughts: When I think about common, basic, average, or typical cigars, I often think about today’s cigar, the Arturo Fuente 858 Flor Fina. Diving into the cigar, after punching the end, I got flavors reminiscent of Chinese food on the cold draw. However, once I lit the Arturo Fuente 858 the draw was perfect […]
