Since we opened our online cigar shop and retail lounge in progress CigarScore Lounge in 2022, we’ve had some truly amazing cigars. And, because of the Adventure Club, we’ve had the opportunity to try new and different cigars each month for over two and a half years. And, while we missed doing a “Best Cigars” Read more…

Cigar Review: League of Fat Bastards Serie L Toro
One of the things that attracted me to the League of Fat Bastards’ cigars was that they donate “40% of [their] net profits, on a quarterly basis, from all cigar, merchandise and event ticket purchases to carefully vetted men’s mental health initiatives, NGOs and charities (learn more). Over the past few years, mental health has Read more…
Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sobremesa Brulee Wagashi Toro
Some people might say “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Well, with the Sobremesa Brulee, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust didn’t take that advice and created yet another variation, the Wagashi. Wagashi is a traditional Japanese confection made of mochi, anko (azuki bean paste), and fruit. In Japan, kashi is the word for sweets or Read more…
Cigar Review: Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Perfecto 2024
When we first reviewed the Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut over 2 years ago, there was only one vitola, the perfecto. Fast forward to 2024, and the JT is no longer a limited edition, but a full line of cigars in multiple vitolas. Today we’re back tasting the new perfecto from 2024. You can shop the Read more…
Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente Reserva Don Carlos Belicoso
Classic cigars. Premium cigars. Rare and hard to find cigars. Arturo Fuente makes them all. But today, we’re reviewing the Arturo Fuente Reserva Don Carlos Belicoso, a cigar that costs half as much as an Opus X an tastes twice as good. Or does it?

Cigar Review: Foundation The Tabernacle Corona
In several reviews over the past six years, we’ve talked about different a cigar can taste from one vitola to another. Also in the past, we’ve done reviews of the Foundation Tabernacle Toro and Tabernacle Lancero, two vitolas I didn’t love. But when I tried the Tabernacle Havana Seed CT #142 as a corona (which Read more…
Cigar Review: Don Doroteo El Alcalde Belicoso 15 Years
Sometimes we review new cigars from old brands. Other times we review old cigars from old brands. But today we’re smoking and reviewing the Don Doroteo El Alcalde Belicoso 15 Years which, as you might expect, has been aging for, well, 15 years. Initial Thoughts The first thing I noticed about the Don Doroteo El Read more…
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: Micallef Leyenda Toro
In the great state of Texas, there are a few brands that have a cult-like following. One of those brands is the Weatherford based Micallef Cigars. And today, we’re going to review the Micallef Leyenda toro. Initial Thoughts The Micallef Leyenda is a medium-brown cigar with their standard coat-of-arms logo on the band. The Ecuadorian Read more…
Cigar Review: AVO Expressions LE 2024
AVO is not a brand of cigars I think about all that often. However, they’ve been around a long time, and they’re one of those legacy brands that has a rich history in cigars. That is until 2019, when they deceptively released their AVO Unexpected series of cigars. Fast forward 5 years, and we have Read more…
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: Drew Estate Liga Privada Velvet Rat 2024
We’re not strangers to the Liga Privada line from Drew Estate. In fact, we reviewed the Velvet Rat before, way back in 2020. But today we’re giving the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat from 2024 another shot. Initial Thoughts Like most Liga Privada cigars, the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Read more…
Cigar Review: Crowned Heads Four Kicks Capa Especial Corona Gorda
Hot on the heals of the previous review of the Capa Especial, we decided to try a different vitola of an almost identical blend. While that one was a limited edition, today’s review is of a cigar we can enjoy any time, the Crowned Heads Four Kicks Capa Especial Corona Gorda. Initial Thoughts Visually, the Read more…
Cigar Review: La Gloria Cubana 8th Street (2023) Corona Grande
Initial Thoughts Around here, we love our limited edition cigars, and the La Gloria Cubana 8th Street Corona Grande is just that. Made to celebrate the storied history of cigar making on Miami’s 8th Street, a.k.a. “Calle do Ocho,” the LGC 8th Street was made at the El Titan de Bronze factory, right across the Read more…
Cigar Review: La Palina Goldie Prominente Series 3
Initial Thoughts Over the past few years, we’ve had the opportunity to smoke a few of the “Goldie” line from La Palina. At the end of 2020, we reviewed the La Palina Goldie Laguito No. 6. Later, in 2021, we had a chance to smoke and review the La Palina Goldie Laguito No. 1 Lancero. Read more…
Cigar Review: Rocky Patel The Edge Habano Toro
Initial Thoughts Before I joined a cigar of the month club like the Adventure Club, I smoked basically the same cigar all the time. That cigar was the Rocky Patel Edge Sumatra. But when that cigar was harder to find, or if I felt like changing things up, I went for today’s cigar, the Rocky Read more…
