Cigar reviews by amateur connoisseur, Ralph Severson
Montecristo Cuban CigarThis cigar burned beautifully with a sweet aroma and was rich tasting all the way down to the creamy finish. I’ll need to pick up a few more of these next time I travel south of the border, which, just so happens I’ll be doing in a few weeks.
Another Hit by Drew EstateThis cigar does not make my top ten list but it is a good smoke. It is smooth and creamy with notes of earth and coffee. Made by Drew Estate and are handmade in Esteli, Nicaragua. These gems weigh in at less than $3.00 per stick.
This cigar was given to me by a customer. I was surprised by the blend of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla – it was scrumptious! The smoke was deep and heavy yet mild and silky smooth. A nice treat.

The Jamaica Heritage smoke is mild with a light spicy blend of flavors that reminds me of chestnuts roasting.
I found Guaranteed Jamaican cigars to be smooth, mild and mellow with an easy draw. I prefer a relaxing smoke and this cigar is just that, relaxing. This would be a cigar I’d recommend to someone new to cigar smoking. It definitely has a laid-back taste.
Put simply, this Criollo cigar offered a robust, rich and satisfying taste.
