However, I did review the Espinosa Comfortably Numb Vol. 1 back in 2019, and I don’t remember being all that impressed.

Cigar Review: League of Fat Bastards Serie L Toro
One of the things that attracted me to the League of Fat Bastards’ cigars was that they donate “40% of [their] net profits, on a quarterly basis, from all cigar, merchandise and event ticket purchases to carefully vetted men’s mental health initiatives, NGOs and charities (learn more).

Cigar Review: Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Toro 2024
One thing we like to do with the Adventure Club is explore multiple vitolas of the same cigar to see how the length and ring gauge of a blend changes the flavor.

Cigar Review: Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Capa Especial Robusto
Initial Thoughts The Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Capa Especial Robusto was a great looking cigar with a medium brown and very oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper leaf. The closed foot promised to offer a blast of flavor. One thing common among Tatuaje’s cigars is that their wrapper leaves have a wonderful aroma, and the 10th Anniversary’s was Read more…

Cigar Review: Foundation The Tabernacle Corona
In several reviews over the past six years, we’ve talked about different a cigar can taste from one vitola to another.

Cigar Review: Fratello Lunar Connecticut Toro
Every cigar brand has their “special sauce.” It’s the way they ferment their tobacco, dry their leaves, even the soil they use can contribute to the way a cigar brand tastes. I like almost everything Fratello Cigars makes. Their “signature sauce” is one I really enjoy. Except for the Fratello Oro. Today’s cigar, the Fratello Read more…
