Cigar Review: Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Maduro Epicure Toro
When I first discovered the Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year line of cigars back in 2019, I became a huge fan. We reviewed the Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage Maduro Epicure (for the first time) back in January of 2019, and then the Churchill vitola here a few weeks later. Today we’re going back Read more…
Cigar Review: Quesada Oktoberfest 2023 Salomon Press
Initial Thoughts Going into the fall, Quesada Cigars likes to release a limited edition cigar to celebrate Octoberfest. And for 2023, they released the Quesada Oktoberfest 2023 Salomon Press.

Cigar Review: J. London Ripper Robusto
Initial Thoughts J. London has been making cigars for over 10 years. And, for many years, they’ve only made one cigar, the Gold Series (as far as I know). With that cigar, they established themselves as a premium brand in the market. Then their warehouse burned to the ground. I’m not sure if today’s cigar, Read more…
Cigar Review: Montecristo Media Noche No. 3 Corona
Initial Thoughts The Montecristo Media Noche No. 3 Corona comes to us today via the Adventure Club. It was a popular choice among members, so it was in there twice, and this rustic cigar will hopefully not disappoint.

Initial Thoughts One of my favorite cigars over the last 20 years has been the Rocky Patel Edge Sumatra.

The Espinosa Knuckle Read more…
Cigar Review: Hooten Young 2020 Selection
Initial Thoughts Back in 2019, the first thing that attracted me to Hooten Young Cigars was just how beautiful they were. Fast forward four years and the Hooten Young 2020 Selection Toro is another beautiful cigar. The HY 2020 Selection is a slightly box-pressed toro that’s medium brown in color and that has a lot Read more…
Cigar Review: Pospiech Powstanie Wojtek War Bear 2021
Initial Thoughts It’s a good thing we don’t have to know how to pronounce Pospiech Powstanie Wojtek War Bear 2021 before we can smoke it. This barber-pole cigar has a complicated name, and we’re going to see if it’s worth trying. The Powstanie Wojtek War Bear is an interesting cigar. It has two intertwined wrappers Read more…
Cigar Review: Caldwell The Last Tsar Corona Gorda
Initial Thoughts Robert Caldwell claims that The Last Tsar is such a bold, nicotine-fueled cigar that you need a full stomach and something to put your feet on before you smoke it. Well, I have neither of those things, but let’s dive in anyway. The Caldwell The Last Tsar Corona Gorda was a good-looking cigar. Read more…
Cigar Review: Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro Exclusivo
Initial Thoughts While you shouldn’t (and can’t) judge a cigar by its wrapper, a lot of the flavors of a cigar come from the leaf that wraps the cigar. Today we’re reviewing the Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro Exclusivo, just about a week after reviewing 1964 Natural, to compare the two cigars. The Natural lived up Read more…

Well, today we’re going to see if this cigar is worth the hype or if it’s one you should just skip. With a quick cut from my Read more…

Initial Thoughts: Over our years of travel, we’ve learned that a great way to understand and learn about a culture or community is through their food. So, why not also learn about them through their cigars? Today’s cigar is the Kauai Cigar Co Island Prince Sun Grown Momona, a cigar that has part of its Read more…
Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sobremesa Brulee Toro
Initial Thoughts: I’ve had an interesting experience with Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust’s cigars. While I’ve found them generally good, I’ve also found them unnecessarily expensive. However, over the past few months, I’ve had several friends recommend that I give the Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust Sobremesa Brulee a try. And, given my newfound love of lighter cigars, Read more…
Cigar Review: Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Robusto
Initial Thoughts: This is the second time a Diamond Crown Julius Caeser cigar has shown up in our reviews. The first time was when we reviewed the Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Toro, but that was back in February of 2019 and before we started CigarScore TV. So, today, we’re diving into the Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Read more…
Cigar Review: Eiroa The First 20 Years Toro
Initial Thoughts: I grabbed the Eiroa The First 20 Years Toro solely because of how much I enjoyed the CLE Prieto, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Whenever I like one cigar from a manufacturer or brand, I’m much more likely to try another one. That’s why first impressions are so critical 😉 The Eiroa The First 20 Read more…
