I had two of the 6 X 52 Toro, Red label "Classics" ($4.95) over the weekend. A highly satisfying medium strength smoke. Throughout, there was a very slight sweet taste with cedar, leather, and pepper tones. Ash buildup was outstanding with a stout light gray ash that stayed to past the...

I should never have browsed the site last evening. I spotted a box of 50 RP Edge Lite Toro for $130. Now I know that this quantity goes for about $230 plus according to the CigarCyclopedia.com's Comparison Shopper . I decided what the heck, I'll throw in a low bid for fun. I put up $170 max...

Over time, I've noticed that some cigars taste salty when I start them time and time again. Others remain salty throughout the smoke. Always the same brands. For example, one of my favorites has a little bit of salt that fades quickly. The Carlos Torono Signature Maduro. I had an cheap maduro...

A new cigar from Gran Habano. The hype says has Nicaraguan Habano, Costa Rican, and Columbia Cubita longfillers. Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper. It is rated as a full strength cigar. I found it to be medium to full. As I usually stay at medium and milder cigars, I found this one to be near...

So says monster cigar. Is it just me or does anyone else's eye just "grab" the word trash out of that name?:hn

I stopped in at the downtown B&M of Arcade, Nashville, TN yesterday to reward myself from being released from tedious meeting. I'm a Gran Habano Connecticut fan and was very surprised to find blue box and blue label Labeled Gran Habano VL. I inspected the open box and found it was dated...

I had a chance to try these head to head tonight. The wrappers appear very similar as was the taste. They taste like they are from what I would call the same "family" or maker. I don't know who makes the 5 Vegas series but this has made me wonder. Does anyone know?

5 1/2 x 55 Perfecto - Cameroon - Silver Label I've been enjoying the Perdomo Cabinet Series La Tradition Reserve - Cameroon, Maduro, and Champagne cigars for the past few months but have not taken the time to write a review. So, I will review the Cameroon I just finished. I found this one...

I finished my Sunday evening with the CAO Extreme Belicoso. A nice hour and a half was spent with coffee in hand and the hummingbirds winding down for the day. A pretty looking cigar with a dark wrapper. I found this to be a nice cigar with a slight taste of chocolate and additionally, a hint...

Up at 5 AM, coffee in hand, a good book, cool morning air, and the beginnings of predawn slowly began to light the sky as I unwrap this little beauty. Padron, as a family, has not been a group of cigars that I have found to be remarkable to date. The firm square body lets me know that I have...

Several of us were discussing the Carlos Toranos Signature Series recently. I said that I had purchased them locally and once by internet and never had one in cedar. Several people had only seen then them in cedar. I picked up what was left of a box of robustos at the Army base today...

Ranking: Buy more now! I got a chance to try one of these at a CAO event this evening. Until now all the CAO products I have tried have ranked, "didn't suck" This had a beautiful dark maduro wrapper and just looked yummy. A pretty young woman (easily less than half my age - I'm not a dirty...

I've got to get rid of some OK cigars from too much CBID action. So here goes. For the first four (4) people to figure out the song title or recording artist or next line of the following song, I'll provide cigars from my inventory. Indian Tabac, RP, Partagus, Punch and such. Here is the...

My older brother (rare cigar smoker) gifted me with two bundles he picked up at the AF base. He proudly presented me with bundles of Quorum (about 4 3/4 X 42) and Moya (5 1/2 X 38). I'm retired Navy and know that each bundle costs about $18. I thanked him, told him my preferences, and smoked...

I've liked the few I have had of these cigars. Thompson Cigars catalog arrived today and on page 44 they advertise Perdomo Reserve cigars, 20 for $49. The picture is of the "P" series. The last line of the add states, "Due to availability, wrappers may vary." That part is fine with me too, I...

I now use the Twill413 cigar ranking system. It's quick easy and keeps me honest. Nestor Reserve Maduro - Doesn't Suck CI sells this as does their site cigarbid. Their description talks about the chocolate wrapper, rich creamy, yada, yada. Read it your own bad self. Anyway, I bit and...
