Cigar Review: Tatuaje Havana VI Hermosos Corona

Over the past several years, we’ve smoked and reviewed several Tatuaje Havana VI cigars. We even put the Almirantes on the Top 10 Cigars Under $10 list for 2018. But a lot has happened in the last 6+ years, so today we’re going to see if the Havana VI still deserves our hard-earned cash. Initial Read more…

Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Polpetta Short Robusto

Initial Thoughts We love it when cigar companies try new and different things. In the cigar world, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust is always doing something different or trying something new. And today’s cigar, the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Polpetta Short Robusto is… well, both new and not new. The Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Polpetta Short Read more…

Cigar Review: Drew Estate Liga Privada H99 Papas Fritas

Initial Thoughts After a long day of editing cigar reviews and unboxing videos, I decided to treat myself with the Drew Estate Liga Privada H99 Papas Fritas. While I’ve had the H99 Papas Fritas before, I’ve never reviewed it. And, if you’re looking for a similar cigar that’s a little bit spicier, check out the Read more…

Cigar Review: Aladino Classic Robusto

Initial Thoughts One of the first things I noticed about the Aladino Classic Robusto was that there was nothing special about the Aladino Classic Robusto. At least not in how it looks. While this is a great-looking cigar, no additional resources were put into making a fancy label with added flare. That said, this cigar Read more…

Cigar Review: Macanudo Inspirado White Robusto

Initial Thoughts We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – if you’ve not looked at the Macanudo Inspirado line of cigars, you’re missing out. And today, we’re going to take a close look at the Macanudo Inspirado White Robusto. The Macanudo Inspirado White is a good-looking cigar. While the wrapper might not garner Read more…

Cigar Review: Deadwood Sweet Jane Corona

Initial Thoughts: Today we’re going to talk about and review the Deadwood Tobacco Sweet Jane Corona, a cigar that’s NOT infused, but does have a sugar tip. I’ve never been a fan of infused or flavored cigars. In my experience, the tobacco in those cigars is often mediocre at best, but then an infusion or Read more…

Cigar Review: Blackbird Rook Sumatra Robusto

Initial Thoughts: One thing I like about Blackbird Cigars is their color scheme for their labels. You never have to remember what cigar you liked (or disliked) from them, all you have to do is remember the color. Today’s cigar is the sky-blue Rook from Blackbird Cigars. The first thing I noticed about the Blackbird Read more…

Cigar Review: Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro Epicure Toro

Initial Thoughts: About a year ago, we reviewed the Perdomo Champagne Noir. And in the comments on YouTube, Nick Perdomo said they were changing the name of the cigar to the Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro, and that’s exactly what we’re smoking and reviewing today. The Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro Epicure Toro is a great-looking cigar. Read more…

Cigar Review: Fratello Classico Perfecto

Initial Thoughts: Some cigars are made by the thousands. Some, by the hundreds. Others, like today’s cigar, were part of a special club and were made by the dozens. The Fratello Classico Perfecto was originally only available if you purchased a limited edition Fratello humidor. And, if you did, you also received 40 cigars in Read more…

Cigar Review: AJ Fernandez San Lotano Bull Robusto

Initial Thoughts: Today we’re going to dive into the AJ Fernandez San Lotano The Bull Robusto, and with a name like “The Bull,” I expect this cigar to be bold. Immediately after removing the cigar from its cellophane, I noticed a nice texture to the wrapper leaf. While it wasn’t oily, it did feel very Read more…

Cigar Review: Fratello Oro Corona

Initial Thoughts: Very few cigar manufacturers fit my palate as close as Fratello Cigars. For the most part, every Fratello blend comes out great. So, for today’s cigar, the Fratello Oro in the corona vitola, I have high hopes. Right off the bat, the Fratello Oro Corona has a great looking wrapper that reminds me Read more…
