Cigar Reviews

Cigar reviews by amateur connoisseur, Ralph Severson

Bahia Maduro

Bahia Maduro

This cigar billowed thick plumes of heavy smoke and had hints of coffee bean and earth. It was okay, but… I can’t quite put my finger on it… meh. $1.99

Maduro

Maduro

This cigar slow burns and has a meaty core with toast, oak, leather and a hint of spice. My overall experience with this cigar can be summed up in a word: Turd!

Nica Libre

Nice Libre 1990

This cigar has deep notes of coffee and a hint of datk chocolate.A bold and somewhat peppery aftertaste. Not the best, but not bad if you don’t think about the $4.40 one cost.

Black Jack

Black Jack Rigoletto

TURD! Bits of filler kept falling off onto my tongue. Draw was a little tight. As for flavor, nothing – blaa. And when I sniffed out the stub it caught fire and smoked like a chimney – crazy!

Red Eye

Tabak Especial Red Eye by Drew Estate

Delicious! Notes of expresso and milk chocolate – a sweet velvety aftertaste. Great, slow burn that unloads a series of bold rich and creamy sensations throughout. Damn good! Worth the $6.00

Ave Maria

Ave Maria Knights Templar

The Ave Maria cigar is rich, smooth, balanced and refined, yet… complex. Not mild but also not too strong. The cigar band is absolutely beautiful – it’s probably why this cigar cost $6.30.
