This West African wrapped exotic blend was a warming mellow smoke. Its dry leathery nose set a flame to a metallic earthy bouquet. It burned good and slow with a slight hot streak around the beginning of the second third of the cigar. Out of the Cigar.com brand of cigars, this is my second favorite. [...]
This little buddy is a mirror of its bigger brother with the same amount of fire power. A smooth delicate smoke straight from Cuba. The dark rich soil gives it a great spicy, deep, and almost overpowering flavor. The finish is almost non-existent and leaves no ill taste in the mouth. It took me 30 [...]
A surprising disappointment to the famous Drew Estate brand. I have tried most of their cigars and found not one flopped as much as this one. It was a good light and perfect draw. It had notes of vanilla, cocoa (not chocolate), and bitter slightly un-roasted coffee flavor to finish. The after taste was dry [...]
This cigar was a great smoke, quick, but good (50 minutes). I got a blast back to my childhood. My father smokes a pipe with a french vanilla blend tobacco called “Snowflake” from Tinder box tobacco. It is a special blend that you have to ask the guy at the shop to blend for you. This [...]
This Cigar calls its self a robust premium cigar. Aficionado’s look to this brand for quality and great flavor. With its Connecticut wrapper and Dominican/Cameroon filler it provides a great balance of the finest materials out there. I found it to be a great relaxing cigar. I had the Torpedo rolled cigar. It was a [...]
This Cigar with its Connecticut wrapper, Nicaraguan Sumatra and Criollo filler, and un-groomed foot is a great tobacco experience. It is fused and blended with the finest trade espresso coffee and rich tobacco leaves to give your taste buds a nice wake-up. Small subtleties of espresso and roasted nuts appear until the nub. It is [...]
A Dominican filled cigar with a Connecticut wrapper with a mild flavor. It is a good cigar, for the beginners and for those who like a lite smoke.
If you have a batch of moldy cigars, don’t panic. Take all you cigars and place them on a newspaper and carefully check each one for mold on the wrapper and in the foot of the cigar (the end you light). If you find it only on the wrapper you might be ok. If you [...]
TOO DRY!!!
Tell tell signs that your cigar is too dry. It is lighter than it seems for the size of the cigar. It is as hard as a rock. If you gently, and I mean gently, press the cigar between you pointer finger and thumb and find it won’t give you any play in the tobacco. [...]

Well this cigar is just a lot of hype. This Nic. filled and Con. wrapped 4″ popper was a well rolled cigar, but lacked the punch and complexity of a mid ranged Partagas. I give all my respect to the Oliva Family and their crew for a well constructed cigar. It was good to see [...]
