Cigars earning a CigarScore 3 are fair, but not special. These cigars are ones I’d smoke again, but only if I couldn’t find one of my other “go-to” smokes.
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 […]
Continue readingInitial 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 […]
Continue readingInitial 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, […]
Continue readingInitial 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 […]
Continue readingInitial Thoughts: One of the reasons I love cigar subscription clubs is that I get to try cigars I might not get to try otherwise. So, when CigarClub.com sent me the Rodriguez Series 84 (reviewed here), I was optimistic. And, when they sent me today’s cigar a few months later, I was super-excited. Today we’re […]
Continue readingInitial Thoughts: People often get into a groove. They find what they like, they stick to it, and they rarely deviate from that point of view. Well, today’s cigar might shift my point of view about my preferred size of cigar. A few months ago, Good Cigar Co sent me the Serino Wayfarer Corona Gorda, […]
Continue readingInitial Thoughts: Today’s cigar review is of a cigar I’ve had before, sort of. Whereas the first round I smoked the Connecticut, this time I’m smoking a maduro of sorts. Back in March of 2020, we published a review of the Davidoff Back2Back Connecticut. Spoiler alert, we gave it a CigarScore 3. However, knowing I wanted […]
Continue readingInitial Thoughts: Sometimes you want a great cigar to pair with coffee. And that’s just what happened when this Cavalier Geneve White Series Diplomate Robusto showed up from CigarClub.com. Today’s cigar comes from Cavalier Geneve, a cigar brand you’ll recognize by the thin, diamond-shaped strip of gold they stick near the label on each of their cigars. […]
Continue readingInitial Thoughts: Some cigars don’t have much of a smell to them. Other cigars, like today’s Gilgamesh by El Septimo, have such an amazing aroma that you just have to smoke them, lest your taste buds be forever jealous of your nostrils. After punching through one of the hardest end caps I’ve ever had, the cold […]
Continue readingInitial Thoughts: Every once in awhile, I see a cigar bundle I just have to have. I love cigar 5-packs because they let you sample a blend or a brand without committing to the purchase of another box. Well, today’s cigar, the Camacho Corojo Robusto came from just such a bundle, and I’m excited to review […]
Continue readingInitial 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 […]
Continue readingInitial 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, […]
Continue readingInitial 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 […]
Continue readingInitial Thoughts: While I don’t love all RoMa Craft Tobac’s cigars, I can’t deny the fact that they’re always well made with a lot of attention to detail. And, with that said, there are some RoMa Craft cigars that I absolutely love, like the Intemperance EC XVIII series. RoMa Craft makes a variety of cigars, most […]
Continue readingInitial Thoughts: When I saw the Joya de Nicaragua Joya Silver at my local lounge, I knew I wanted to review it. After smoking, enjoying, and reviewing other JDN cigars, I decided the Joya Silver was getting added to the list, and I bought it in January 2020 (I know because I stuck a CigarScore Cigar […]
