    Newb Adpotion Reviews (Sep. 08)

    Tonight I smoked the final cigar, a Troya Classico. Starts off with sweet spice notes. About a half inch in there were very pronounced peanut flavors. Never tasted this in a cigar yet so it was interesting. Still sweet spice flavors in the middle, peanut flavor still there but not as strong...

    Just finished smoking a Rocky Patel Vintage '92 Started off nice with wood and coffee flavors. Burn was slightly uneven right off the bat. Flavor also had a hint of sweetness. In the middle the sweetness was lost but the wood and coffee flavors remained. Burn was still uneven, needed quite a...

    How many visits to your local B&M before you are considered a regular?

    How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man? ;)

    Change of habit

    I go through the same thing when the seasons change. In summer I smoke more frequently, so obviously they can't all be amazing smokes. But in the winter, I smoke way less often so I smoke higher quality cigars.

    Newb Adpotion Reviews (Sep. 08)

    I am smoking the Cienfuegos right now. Started mainly with leather/earthy flavor. Some nuttiness and a hint of cedar (the cigar comes cedar wrapped). Fairly strong flavors but the cigar was still smooth. More into the cigar I got hints of cocoa. A complex cigar. The middle picked up in the...

    Newb Adpotion Reviews (Sep. 08)

    I know these are a little behind but I've got two reviews ready. First up is the Ashton Cabinet. (PC size I think) Right off the bat this cigar starts with lots of nutty and toasty flavors. Very rich flavors. Pretty even burn throughout, also the flavor remained very consistent. A little bit...

    The last cigar of the month is the Nub Cameroon. Once again I had a little difficulty lighting the cigar. Once I got it going I got woody flavors with some sweet spice. Typical of most other cameroons I have smoked. The middle was sweeter with some coffee flavors. Ending was spicier and a...

    The next smoke is the Savinelli Liga Especial. This cigar started off with a rich nutty flavor, with some spice (more of a cinnamon like than pepper) and a hint of cedar. A little later on it gained just a hint of sweetness on the finish as well. The flavor kept the nutty core but gained...

    Last night I smoked the Oliva Ovation Maduro. Lit up and was greeted with mellow coffee flavors. Typical maduro flavors but very smooth and a little milder. Great draw, with lots of smoke. A little bit of cedar flavors in the middle and just a bit of pepper near the end of the cigar. Burn was...

    Aging Padron Question

    I'm no expert, but I believe the '64 and '26 don't age as well because the tobacco is already aged so much. But I've never had an aged one so I truly don't know.

    It was a good smoke. The other Hemmingways I tried had a distinct taste, but this was a little stronger.

    Noob Adoption Reviews (July '08)

    Today's smoke was the AF Hemmingway Best Seller. I lit the small tip and the cigar started with some coffee and cocoa flavors. The draw was tight at first but after the tip the cigar gave out lots of white smoke. The burn was uneven and had to be corrected a few times. The only thing that...

    Noob Adoption review June 2008 (finally)

    Nice review! I have to agree with you on the flavor profile. Earthy and woody with some spice. I'm down to my last one, I just might have to order some more.
