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…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.
