Davidoff Geneve

After establishing an even light the core of mild pepper gave way to a creamy, woody taste. After about a third of the way through I began to taste expresso and bitter chocolate. Traces of sweetness come and go. Smoke is solid, draw smooth and the burn even. All-in-all not worth $18.00 I’m sad to…

Don Pepin Garcia El Centurion

I haven’t written about a cigar in a while. However, the El Centurion which I smoked this evening was very good! It lit well, and burned nice and even and smoked smoothly. Not so spicy with a hint of pepper, a bit sweet, medium leather body. Tasty and I’ll say it again, a smooth smoke.…

CAO Gold Maduro

CAO Gold Marudo Cigar

It’s been a while since I smoked one of these. A few years in fact. After writing this review, just before posting it I discovered that I reviewed it back in 2012. All I can say is that I’m still pleasantly impresses with this jewel. This cigar is mellow with just a hint of coffee…

Romeo y Julieta | 1875 Bully

This cigar burned evenly and held a firm ash the first third of the way through the smoke. Pleasantly mild, in fact I was expecting quite the opposite. Had some problems the last third with the draw tightening up. Overall taste was consistent with a hint of pepper, almonds, and, well… olives? Weird I know…

ACID Toast

ACID Toast Cigar

Over the Memorial Day weekend I smoked an ACID cigar by Drew Estate. The tobaccos in ACID cigars are cured in areas called cuarto aromaticos (aroma rooms) for months prior to rolling – these rooms are lined with over 150 different essential herbs, oils and botanicals that get infused into the cigars over time. Handmade…

The Asylum Lobotomy Cigar

Asylum Labotomy Cigar

I tried the new Asylum Lobotomy cigar and found it to be a little sweet and full flavored. I didn’t get any flavors resembling ground beef (as described in the press release), thankfully, as I think that would have grossed me out. LOL. Beefy with a bit of spice (pepper) to be sure. Stronger than…

Esteban Carreras Connecticut 12 Year

Pre-light was tight and a bit bitter at first. Mild, creamy and woody with a hint of spicy sweetness. Overall however it did not stand out as a flavorful smoke. Smooth and mild to be sure. The filler was well packed and burned evenly. The draw was good throughout. Would I get another? No. Not…

Shrapnel Black

Shrapnel Black Cigars

These little sticks have a few pinches of Black Cavendish pipe tobacco spread throughout its filler. Not bad but I like the sugary-sweet taste of the Shrapnel Sweet which I’ve been smoking now for several years. I always keep a box or two on hand and grab a few sticks on the way out the…

Shrapnel Sweet

Shrapnel Sweet Cigars

Quick and tasty. The ends are dipped for a sugary-sweet taste. Mild smoke. I smoke these while driving. They help me stay awake as I do not do well driving great distances. Anyone up for a road trip? Count me in. Just wake me up when we get there. These jewels come 50 to a…

Sons of Anarchy

Sons of Anarchy Redwood Original Moto Club Cigars

Redwood Original Moto Club Est. 1967 – Black Crown – Original Notes of dark tobacco, spices, pepper, and a dash of earth round out each powerful puff. Good finish. However, all-in-all, to me, was just meh.
