I just got a 5-pack each of the La Tradicion Torpedo and a Sabor Cubano Corona Gorda. I know it is typically suggested that I let them rest in the humi for at least a few days (if not weeks) before smoking. These are shipped in a very nice "Humi-Pouch". I don't want to waste one fighting a poor...

I wound up with $100.00 extra cash for my birthday. Not a lot by any means, but I'm talking guilt free spending money that I can openly devote to my cigar hobby. I'm a relative newb, and my current set-up consists of a 50-count humi fairly full of various smokes, a Colibri Firebird lighter...

This 7 x 47 "White Label" Tat had a nice looking, slightly toothy wrapper. The pre-light draw gave a tad of resistance and a sweet flavor, with pepper prominent on the tongue and lips. The first few puffs provided a considerable blast of pepper to the throat, but quickly mellowed. The first 2/3...

I was really disappointed in this one. It was my third attempt with one of these (once with the Belicoso and twice with the Rothchilde) over the last month, and I really wanted to like it. This one started out with a slightly harsh, peppery taste. No big deal, as a lot of good cigars start out...

A few nights ago I smoked my first 601, the Red robusto. I enjoyed it immensely, so much in fact that I smoked it as far down on the nub as possible. It never got harsh or foul, but a wonderful peppery ever-so-slightly sweet flavor just intensified all the way to the end. That was the good...

I really liked it (Robusto), and would like to try others similar to it. I'd heard it described as peppery, and I have to agree, but it wasn't overwhelming at all. Got a little spicier about halfway, but was very tasty and enjoyable all the way to the nub. Never harsh or overpowering; I really...

And Classic it is. A beautifully constructed cigar, it offers a great draw that's tight enough so that you're not sucking air, yet still easy and produces an ample amount of smoke. Lovely, smooth Cameroon wrapper with a "tit" on the foot. A nice even burn all the way with no touch-ups or...

Padron, AF, Cubans, etc. have legions of fans, get lots of press and discussion, and claim some of the highest ratings. Nub, 5 Vegas, Flor de Oliva and Sancho Panza are wildly popular and have their devoted smokers. Some are among my favorites as well, and the acclaim and popularity is well...

is an excellent cigar. That is all.

I can't be alone on this, but I've never seen it discussed. In my own personal experience, I can smoke a particular cigar on a given occasion, only to smoke one of the same exact brand and size at a later date only to have an entirely different experience. For example, the first time I smoked a...
