Initial Thoughts: While we have reviewed the Fratello Arlequin Robusto before, today we’re going to go sample the Toro vitola, and see if it’s as good (or better) than the early production sample we got in the middle of 2020. Visually, the Fratello Arlequin Toro is a good-looking cigar. It looks just like a larger Read more…

Cigar Review: FQ Proper Corona Gorda
Initial Thoughts: If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times – we like cigar subscriptions boxes because they help us learn about and try cigars we might not get any other way.

Cigar Review: San Cristobal Ovation Decadence Toro
Initial Thoughts: San Cristobal cigars, which are made by Ashton, have been some of my favorites throughout the years. In fact, one of them made the Best Cigars Under $10 list for 2018. However, some of their cigars have also been pepper bombs that I didn’t love. So, when I went into one of the local Read more…
Cigar Review: Warped Futuro Toro
Initial Thoughts: The first thing I noticed about the Warped Futuro Toro is its narrow but flat head.

Cigar Review: Oliva Serie V Double Toro
Initial Thoughts: The Oliva Serie V Double Toro is a cigar my father-in-law has been smoking for years and one that he swears by. And, since I frequently see them on Famous Smoke at 40% off, I bought box when I saw them on sale. So today, instead of just relying on the word of a friend, Read more…

Well, today’s cigar, the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie A is a cigar so rare, I’m sure if you’ve ever even heard of it, it’s been through pictures on your Instagram feed. Before even cutting Read more…
Cigar Review: Foundation Cigar Co.’s The Tabernacle Toro
Initial Thoughts: This is my second The Tabernacle cigar from Foundation Cigar Co. The previous one, I really enjoyed, so I was excited to light this one up. The wrapper is dark and near-perfect – any visible veins have been flattened out. After an uneven guillotine cut, the cigar still had a smooth draw. The flavors Read more…
