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.

Cigar Review: Muestra de Saka Nacatamale by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

Initial Thoughts: Very few people in the cigar world make a name for themselves outside the brand they’re associated with. Of course, the Fuente family members have an advantage, but if you’re not from a Cuban family with 100+ years of cigar heritage, establishing yourself can be a challenge. However, Steve Saka has done it. And, […]

Cigar Review: E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic

Initial Thoughts: When I saw that the E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic had earned “Cigar of the Year” for 2018, I knew I wanted one. And, when I learned that the Encore was a Nicaraguan puro – ya, that sealed the deal. Physically, the Encore Majestic is a decent looking cigar. It’s lightly box pressed and the […]

Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente Reserva Don Carlos

Initial Thoughts: I don’t smoke a lot of Arturo Fuente cigars. To me, Fuentes are either super high-end and rare, or beginner sticks you smoke when you first delve into the world of cigars. However, that’s not accurate. Fuente makes a variety of cigars at a range of price points, much like this Hemingway Short Story, […]

Cigar Review: Fuente Fuente Opus X Forbidden X 2014

Initial Thoughts: When I joined the Cigar Rights of America in 2018, I received a bundle of cigars in return. In that bundle was the Fuente Fuente Opus X Forbidden X, a cigar that’s as elusive and rare as they come. After storing the cigar in my personal humidor for over a year, I thought it […]

Cigar Review: Partagas Serie D No. 4

Initial Thoughts: This Partaga Serie D No. 4 was a farewell gift from a friend when Ashley and I left Cincinnati. In the months since this cigar has traveled with me from Cincinnati, Ohio to St. Paul, Minnesota to Dallas, Texas to Rockford, Illinois and now it’s here with me in Boston. After nearly 3000 miles […]

Cigar Review: Sinistro Mr. White Belicoso

Initial Thoughts: I went into the Sinistro Mr. White completely blind. I knew nothing about this cigar or the Sinistro brand, so this is a totally raw cigar review. After cutting the pyramid tip, I got a decent cold draw, but once I lit the cigar, things tightened up a little bit. I had to cut […]

Cigar Review: The Judge Toro Fino by My Father

Initial Thoughts: If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m a big fan of Don Pepin and My Father Cigars. So, when I picked up The Judge by My Father, I was pretty excited for my next taste of what the Garcia family can do. The Judge is a well-made cigar. The wrapper […]

Cigar Review: Charter Oak Maduro by Foundation Cigar Co.

Initial Thoughts: When I first picked up the Charter Oak Maduro by Foundation Cigar Co., I noticed two things. First, I noticed the coarse Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. Second, I saw the un-cut foot, something I don’t mind and something that often makes a cigar easier to light. The Charter Oak is like a lower-end version of […]

Cigar Review: Sobremesa El Americano

Initial Thoughts: I’ve seen a lot of talk about and praise for Steve Saka lately, so I thought I’d give one of his cigars a try. So, I picked up the Sobremesa El Americano. Without knowing much about the cigar or Saka himself, I dove in. I immediately noticed that the construction of the El Americano […]

However, the owners were in town hosting […]
