Cigar reviews by amateur connoisseur, Ralph Severson
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…
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.
Flavourful and well constructed. Long burn. Easy draw. Ideal for a round of golf or while engrossed in a novel. I nipped Scotch while enjoying this one. Not bad,
Espresso. Sumatra wrapper. Rich and flavourful with dark cacao notes and a long, semi-sweet toasty finish. This nub is tasty! Approximately $6.50 per.

Tatiana Hecho Mano 2009 CigarI can’t find any information on this cigar. In fact I like to never have found an image for it. All I can say was that it was an o’kay smoke. Just o’kay. If anyone has any history or other information on this cigar I’d be interested in hearing from you.
Gurkha Black DragonSpicy, yet sweet. The Gurkha Black Dragon Fury cigar started out spicy and then a hint of sweetness peaked through. Layered with pepper, cedar, earth, espresso and cocoa – kind of in that order. Overall, bold! I’ve tried other Gurkha’s and have not really liked any of them. This one, the Black Dragon,…
The Cohiba Robustos is one of the most demanded Habanos in the market.Thick, smooth, medium bodied. Overall a good smoke. A bit expensive. But that’s not going to keep me from buying more when I travel abroad again next month. Looking for these jewels can be tedious. I’ve discovered that there are a lot of…
