    La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial Robusto

    Initial Impressions: This is the Don Pepin blended version. This is the first one I've had. This was a thin robusto, 48 RG I believe, with a nice wrapper that was smooth and had no blemishes. A mild pre-light aroma came from this cigar. Pictures: Smoking: This cigar...

    Any suggestions for a new cooler?

    Earlier this summer I gave up my cooler for other use. Now I'm in the market for another. I used to have a 62 qt Coleman with the wheels, but didn't really like it. Do you guys have any suggestions?

    Casa Royale Imperial (Don Pepin and Holt's)

    Initial Impressions: This was an extra that I received from awsmith4 in a BTT. In the same BTT I tried Don Pepin's other blend for Holt's, the Fumadores, so I wanted to take a shot at this. This was a toro (6x50). It had a nice and silky natural wrapper with some bumps here and there, but no...

    601 Red Label Habano Robusto

    Initial Impressions: I bought two of these at a B&M several months ago and had one almost right away. It was a little harsh and very, very, very peppery. I was hoping that a few months rest would help out. It had a nice wrapper on it that was smooth and free of any blemishes. It had a lite...

    La Unica Cameroon Belicoso No. 3

    Ininitial Impressions: I must have bought this cigar at a B&M a few months ago and simply forgot about it. I was rearranging the sticks in the desktop humi and found this in the mess so I decided to smoke it. I have never had anything La Unica before, but was drawn to this because of the...

    Cabaiguan Robustos Extra

    Initial Impressions: I recently purchased a box of these and couldn't wait to get the first one out of the way. I've been buying several at a time from B&M's and have always had several on hand. The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper on this was beautiful. The wrapper was silky smooth and had few if...

    Hoyo de Monterrey Dark Sumatra Ebano

    Initial Impressions: I've smoked several of the vitolas from this blend before and they have always been a pleasant smoke. I really prefer the Ebano though (6X45) which seems to be a cross between a lonsdale and a corona gorda. The cigar itself was wrapped in a cedar sheeth. After taking the...

    Initial Impression: This smoke was a petite corona that had a very beautiful and smooth wrapper with some veins, but no blemishes. It gave off a mild pre-light aroma. I bought three of these back in March at Bloom's in Pittsburgh (highly recommended B&M for those of you in Western PA). I've...

    San Cristobal Clasico

    Initial Impressions: This was a classic robusto here with a nice dark brown natural wrapper. The wrapper was smooth with no blemishes and had some nice healthy veins all over with a nice oily sheen. The pre-light aroma it gave off of sweet tobacco really enticed me. I've smoked several of the...

    CAO America Potomac

    Initial Impressions: I enjoy several of CAO's other lines including the Gold, Italia, and Brazilia. I bought the this big RG robusto from the America line in December. Due to some negative reviews and feedback, I thought that I would let it sit for a little while until I finally decided to...

    Oliva Serie V Double Robusto

    Initial Impressions: I bought this sometime back in November at the local B&M and just plain forgot about it. While reorganizing the sticks in my humidor I found it and decided to smoke it. I've enjoyed both the Oliva Serie G and Flor de Oliva (THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK IMHO) from Oliva, so I...

    Cohiba Red Dot Robusto

    *Initial Impressions: I decided to start 2008 off tonight with something I've never smoked before. I received this cigar in a sampler that I bought from Famous-Smoke a little while ago. Truely enjoy the Pequenos from this blend, but I've never had one of the bigger ones (good or bad, right?)...

    A. Fuente Chateau Fuente Sun Grown

    *Initial Impressions: I bought a five pack of these from Famous in May when they were actually in stock (Famous seems to have a hard time keeping Fuente items in stock). I smoked one then and handed three out to some friends. I was rearranging the tupperdor the other day when I found this...

    Don Pepin Garcia Blue Invictos

    *Initial Impressions: Received these as an early Christmas gift from my brother last week... http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=125572. I've never had a Don Pepin Garcia Blue or any Don Pepin cigars before because the darn B&M's around me don't carry the sticks. Usually I'll buy a...
