    Saint Luis Rey Serie G - short robusto

    I grabbed a handful of these back in October and I finally got a chance to light one up. First off, it has nice dark color with a decently oily wrapper. Pre-light aroma is fairly light... a bit surprising given it's "look." It had been sitting in my desktop humi at about 70 degrees, 60-62&#37...

    Tatuaje Havana VI (red label) Robusto

    I know I seem to review cigars that have been discussed to death, but I'm a relative newcomer and like to try cigars with a good consensus. First off, after smoking this cigar, it has moved up to the front of my go-to line. This is a great cigar with impeccable construction and it smelled great...

    Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label

    Another review about a cigar that's been well-covered, but I always like to offer my take and receive feedback. Pre-light draw was surprisingly loose. The cigar had impeccable construction and had a nice aroma. I lit this with a butane lighter (a Zippo Blu... sent to me gratis by Smokey Bob, a...

    Fonseca Classic 5x50

    I was looking forward to a cigar last night and had a random Fonseca Classic sitting in my humi from about 2 months ago when I purchased a sampler. It's a lot lighter in color than what I've found myself drawn to after several months of smoking cigars on a regular basis, but I decided not to...

    Indulging myself tonight... help me choose

    So my wife and daughter have flown out of town ahead of me so I thought I'd go ahead and splurge today. I'm currently smoking a post-work Tatuaje white label (my first) and need help picking another smoke (or smokes) for later tonight. As for the Tat, it's very mellow with a nutty overtone...

    Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Churchill

    This one has probably been beaten to death, but here are some quick observations: 1. As mentioned in prior reviews, the wrapper is very delicate. Be careful with the cut! 2. Pre-light draw was very easy and this did not change once the cigar was lit. 3. Though the draw was easy, the cigar...

    Vacation review part I - Ashton VSG

    I just got back from vacation to San Diego and Las Vegas and had a chance to smoke smoke some cigars along the way. First stop, San Diego. We stayed at the Marriott Del Mar which was a nice hotel up near La Jolla. It's got a nice, modern ambience and a nicely set up pool with poolside pirepits...

    Just received humidor... Seasoning and bead questions

    OK, so I got my first humidor today. It's a 50 count desktop humidor from Tampa Humidors to tide me over as my collection grows. A couple quick questions: 1. I ordered the 2oz. 70% humidity bead tube from Heartfelt Ind. This should be sufficient, correct? 2. I am leaving on vacation for a week...

    First try at a review - Rocky Patel Sun Grown

    I thought I'd try my hand at a review with a few caveats: 1. I haven't been smoking cigars for that long; 2. I hadn't read anything regarding this cigar prior to smoking it so I wasn't sure what to be looking for or what to expect; 3. Please excuse any misused or incorrect terminology. A friend...
