Montecristo No.5, 2006. Now, wait a minute! There's still one short cigar I almost forgot. The last M5 in my humidor, where it has been suffering for five and half years. This particular cigar was the most shiny and the most dark wrappered CC I have ever seen when I received it. The colour and the...

Partagas Shorts, LSM SEP08 This cigar is quite popular, but very rarely reviewed. One of my long time favourites, a cigar that doesn't let you down. How is it today? Music: Pink Floyd / The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. Drink: Coke, as usual. Cigar weight 6.63g. Firm construction. Medium shiny co...

Prelight:Smooth wrapper which is slightly oily. The cigar is firm yet pliant and has a wonderful cold draw that reveals nuts of tobacco leather and salt.1/3:Semi sour finish with the main players being cedar and a light tobacco flavor. The flavor is leaning towards the medium category and there isn’...

One of my favorite cigars of all time, the Bolivar Petite Corona... look at this handsome gentleman: And this handsome gentleman for Lisa: Prelight: Mottled, oily dark brown wrapper. Construction is spot on with no obvious soft spots and the watermark adds a nice bit of character not unlike a...

Romeo Y Julieta, Julieta 2011 production 5-pack tin (No box code) 4 3/4 x 33 Second cigar in one week, this is really starting to get to me, lucky boy! It's still muddy and wet but jumped out with the doodle again during a break in the rain. I've always had a soft spot for RyJ it's just a pity... -
La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.4, POL ENE11 Music: AC/DC Live At River Plate. Drink: Coke. Cigar weight 4.71g. Glossy claro wrapper. A bit loose/soft construction. Tobacco with powerful leather as wrapper scent. A bit young sound on the smell. Cutting with Palio. Medium draw. Toasted tobacco...

Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas, TEB JUN08. I have already reviewed four small quality cigars, so why not going through a fifth one. Cigars from this box, and also from another box of TEB08, have been very delicious. Why would this be an exception. Music: Frank Zappa's Ship Arriving Too Late T...

Prelight This is an ugly little guy. Dark wrapper with an almost suede feel and prominent veins. The cigar is pliant and the cold draw reveals a loose draw with a very slight tobacco flavor. 1/3: I was incredibly impressed with the amount of flavor right off the bat. Tobacco, honey and cinnamon...
-
Prelight: Smooth wrapper with a slight sheen to it. Cigar is well packed and heavy in the hand with no obvious flaws or soft spots. Easy cold draw, if somewhat loose, flavors of coffee are very obvious. 1/3: Very smooth smoke with no obvious spice notes. Main flavor profile consists of coffee a...

Punch Royal Selection No.11, 2009 Hey Prez, now we're talking about Punch! Another cigar I haven't enjoyed before. Bought a couple of singles a month ago and of course forgot to write down the box code, but I can remember it's from 2009. Music: QOTSA / Songs for the deaf. Drink: Coke. Cigar w...

Diplomatico #2 (1996) This cigar came from a friend, so I'm unsure of the exact box code. The cigar had a colorado/maduro wrapper. The appearance was slightly bumpy, but that didn't detract from the cigar at all. Looks usually never play a part in the rating of a cigar for me, as I'm only conc...

I think this is going to be my last review. I was hoping to smoke a diplomatico 1 before I go to bed tonight but work sucked, its 20 degrees outside, windy and I am tired (WAH) Prelight: Bumpy wrapper with some small veins. Light caramel color with a slight sheen to it. Firmly packed all the way...
-
Prelight: Light caramel wrapper, slight oil cover and fairly spongy. The cold draw is firm with a little bit of nuttiness. 1/3: First few puffs are very sweet with a large amount of nuts and grass. Further down the first third there is a bit of graham cracker thrown into the mix. The smoke is v...
-
Prelight Slightly oily wrapper somewhat bumpy but packed very nicely. Clipped the foot, prelight draw was very good and had a heavy flavor of dried fruit and tobacco with some sour notes. 1/3: Slight spice on the initial few draws which quickly fades. Main flavor profile is all dried fruit with...
-
This is going to be my shortest review yet... I guarantee. Prelight: Oily wrapper which is very smooth to the touch and nicely pliant. I cut the cap and took a cold draw which was very mild with only tobacco and sweet notes. 1/3-3/3 Upon the first few pulls I noticed a very creamy smoke whic...

Trinidad Reyes, OUS DIC09. Just another short cigar. After this I have gone through every shorty from my humidor, except HUHC which has already been reviewed here. Music: Living Colour / Pride. Drink: Coke. Cigar weight 6.47g. Perfect construction. Colorado wrapper with clean tobacco scent on i...
-
Prelight: Medium brown wrapper some veins no soft spots well packed. I clipped the cigar with my xikar x3 and did a cold draw which had a simple taste of tobacco and spice. 1/3: The first few pulls are all nuts, leather and tobacco. There is a nice, even burn with a lot of white smoke. The ash...

Bolivar Coronas Junior, LAG DIC10. Thank God it's Friday! I smoked my previous one of these about 13 months ago. It was as strong and peppery as a cigar can be. How they have changed and to which direction? We'll see... Music: White Denim / Workout Holiday. Drink: Coke, again and again. Cigar...
-
Diplomaticos No.5, EOA DIC07. Every cigar I have smoked from this box has been excellent. How it is today when I'm very tired and quite pi$$ed off because of rotten-egg-like spirit at work. I certainly hope the cigar gives me a good lift. Music: Weather Report / I Sing The Body Electric. Drink:...

Rafael Gonzalez Perlas, RUE AGO11 Once the train has started it's jolly hard to stop it. Today it's the time for another cigar I haven't smoked before. Music: Jazzanova Funkhaus Studio Sessions. Drink: Coke. Cigar weight 6.96g. Firm construction. Very smooth colorado maduro wrapper. The cold sm...

H.Upmann Half Corona 5-pack tin 3 1/2 x 44 2012 production First off, this is my first time trying this cigar. I've heard a lot about it and seen how fast they are flying off the shelves world-wide. It's fully into the mud and sludge season in the UK so if this vitola doesn't shine now then it...
-
This cigar is my whitest of whales and I was able to grab a few with the box included for a very reasonable price. The box is currently sitting next to my Siglo VI jar in a shadowbox and they look very nice. So without further ado... Prelight: The cigar isn't the prettiest thing in the world and...

Cohiba Coronas Especiales Never smoked these before so I'm about to lose another virginity this evening. Bought a 5-pack of these as try-outs a month ago so I don't know the box code, but I assume these are not older than one year. My attitude against Cohiba is maybe not too positive, but it's nice...

'95 Montecristo No.4. Provenance: Friend gifted this to me in '09. Passive storage in father's humidor. From what my friend told me, his father stopped smoking 15 years ago. I'm guessing this is from '95 but it could be older. Smoked 1 cigar for this review. Appearance:/Structure: 13/15 Smooth Col...
