Cigar Review: Padilla Series 1968 Black Bear Torpedo

Initial Thoughts: If you’ve never heard of Padilla cigars, welcome to the club. Before last year, I’d never heard of the brand that has actually been around and making cigars since 2013. The Padilla Series 1968 Black Bear Torpedo smells a little green at the onset. After cutting the end, the cold draw flavors were those […]

Cigar Review: Drew Estate Liga Undercrown Shade Gran Toro

Initial Thoughts: In our search for the best cigars to pair with coffee, I stumbled upon the Drew Estate Liga Undercrown Shade, a cigar I’ve seen a lot of people talking about, but one I have yet to try. After pulling the Undercrown Shade out of the cellophane and giving it a big sniff, I could […]

Cigar Review: Punch Chop Suey

Initial Thoughts: The Punch Chop Suey is kind of an ugly cigar. Not much attention was paid to making this lancero look perfect, but hopefully, what the Chop Suey lacks in appearance (due to the inch and a half long shaggy foot), the cigar can make up for in flavor! After using the v-cut (a.k.a “notch […]

Cigar Review: Perdomo Lot 23 Connecticut Robusto

Initial Thoughts: The Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro is a cigar that made it onto the CigarScore Top 10 Cigars Under $10 list, so when I had a chance to review the Connecticut of the same line, I took it. Perdomo cigars, a.k.a. Tabacalera Perdomo is known for two things, making great cigars and being budget-friendly. Also, […]

review Oliva Serie V melanio natural robusto

Cigar Review: Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto

Initial Thoughts: The Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto should be a true, luxury smoke. After all, it’s a blend that won some “Cigar of the Year” awards a few years ago. The version of this cigar with the natural wrapper (as opposed to the Melanio Maduro) has a Nicaraguan binder and filler underneath an Ecuadorian Sumatra […]

Cigar Review: Diesel Grind Toro

Initial Thoughts: As soon as I took the Diesel Grind Toro out of the cellophane I’d been keeping it in for the last six months, my first thought was that the cigar smelled a little sweet and a little funky. Upon examining the cigar itself, there was a poorly cut cap and perhaps a water spot […]

Cigar Review: CAO Gold Robusto

Initial Thoughts: When it comes to the “classics,” what comes to mind? Cars? Movies? For me, “classics” are cigars like the CAO Gold Robusto, a cigar that’s been around, and one that helped put CAO on the map back in the 1980s. The CAO Gold has a classic look and feel to it. It’s got a […]

Cigar Review: RoMa Craft CroMagnon Fomorian

Initial Thoughts: I received the RoMa Craft CroMagnon Fomorian as a gift from a good friend. I’d seen him smoking this cigar on several occasions, but it always seemed to fall apart on him because of the finicky candela wrapper. However, after receiving the Fomorian as a gift, I thought I’d review it for you. The RoMa […]

Cigar Review: Boutique Blends La Boheme Poeta Toro

Initial Thoughts: Today’s cigar is one I’ve had before, but wasn’t able to review initially. However, after smoking the Boutique Blends La Boheme Poeta Toro the first time, I knew I wanted to review it and tell the world about this cigar. After all, the La Boheme reminds me of a cigar that costs three times […]

best breakfast cigars to pair with coffee

Top 10 Breakfast Cigars to Pair with Coffee

Up until mid-2019, I didn’t like lighter cigars. I assumed they were flavorless and bland. And, the idea that I’d pair a cigar with coffee wasn’t even on my radar. Sure, I’d enjoyed my cigars with water, wine, beer, and bourbon, but enjoy one in the morning and pair a cigar with coffee? That is […]

Cigar Review: Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto

Initial Thoughts: Over the last year or so, we’ve smoked and reviewed almost every Plasencia cigar we could get our hands on. And today, we’re diving into the Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto, a cigar meant to commemorate the 146th crop the Plasencia family planted in Nicaragua. After taking the Cosecha 146 out of the […]

cigar Review Black Works Studio Green Hornet Robusto

Cigar Review: Black Works Studio Killer Bee Green Hornet Robusto

Initial Thoughts: Adding Candela leaf tobacco to any cigar is always a bold choice. But, that’s what Black Works Studio did in today’s cigar, the Green Hornet. The Black Works Studio Killer Bee Green Hornet Robusto is just slightly smaller than your traditional robusto. Both its smoking end and its foot have candela tobacco in them, […]

Cigar Review: Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat

Initial Thoughts: When I set out to do a cigar review today, I was somewhat disappointed when I remembered I didn’t have a Liga Privada to smoke. However, my sadness was immediately expunged when I saw the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat on the shelf of my humidor. Not only is the Velvet […]

Cigar Review: Davidoff Nicaragua Toro

Initial Thoughts: The Davidoff Nicaragua Toro should be an excellent cigar. After all, Davidoff is one of the premier brands in the cigar industry. And, after smoking and reviewing the Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro, I have fairly high expectations for the Davidoff Nicaragua – a nearly $20 cigar. After cutting the end of the cigar, […]

Cigar Review: RoMa Craft Wunderlust Robusto

Initial Thoughts: I love it when people ask me to review a cigar. I love it, even more, when someone gives me a cigar to review! And the latter is the case with today’s stick, the RoMa Craft Wunderlust Robusto. Typically this cigar is exclusive to the European cigar market, and it’s unlikely you’ll find it […]
