    Fonseca Sun Grown

    OK, I have now had 3 of these. This is a wonderful smoke. I highly recommend trying one. They are inexpensive and are packed with flavor!

    San Cristobal Monumento

    For me the name of this cigar was perfect as it was a monumental failure in every aspect of my smoking experience. To be honest I am a Pepin fiend so I had a very high expectation for this cigar. Place: Front porch with Eli Beverage: Makers Mark, one elbows worth. Had a wonderful meal of...

    Felipe Gregorio Icon

    Picked one up at the CigarFest last month in the Poconos and just tried it this week. It was one of the most complex and tastiest cigars I have tried. Hard to describe, but the website description that I read afterwards of mocha, coffee, leather seemed accurate for the first two thirds. The...

    Ashton VSG Tres Mystique

    I smoked two of these small cigars today. The wrapper is dark brown and fairly smooth to the touch. The cigar cuts easily, and has a good draw. The cigar is full of coffee and leather flavors with a mellowed spiciness. The cigar is smooth on the palate, and both cigars were consistent in...

    Tatuaje Havana VI Zona del Este

    I tried my first cigar in this line last night. The wrapper was very dark and silky, and the cap was slightly difficult to cut.. The draw was firm but enough to draw a good portion of smoke. The flavors started out with a barnyard twang: notes of wood, hay, and a salty finish. There was not...

    The Nub

    I have been totally intrigued by this cigar. I feel that it has been marketed perfectly. so I had to get a smapler to give it a try. the reasoning behind this cigar Sam Leccia Says is to get to a sweat spot in the cigar right away, We will see. I am going with the 466 habano wrapper. it is...

    Oliveros XL For Men

    Last night I smoked one of these for the first time. I picked up a couple of robustos at the local B&M about 5 or 6 months ago and decided to go ahead and give one a try. I''ve never seen a review on them or heard if they were good or bad. It turned out to be a great smoke. It felt really firm...

    Black Pearl

    I just smoked a torpedo size last night and have to say that this is one of the better smokes that I have had lately. It only had a burn issue once, like it was plugged up. It was very quickly repaired though. I couldn't place all of the tastes that it had, but it reminded me of hints of...

    Nub by Olivia

    Anyone have a chance to try these yet? I just got the email from c.com saying they just started selling them & they look pretty damn good. I like the idea of a short high ring cigar.

    Rocky Patel Vintage Segundos

    Looking for some input on these. The vintage 1990 is becoming one of my favorite everyday cigar, but I can not afford $10/stick for a daily cigar. Instead of checking for deals non-stop I was contimplating getting a Mazo of 2nds. Anyone experienced these with some feedback?

    cbs0121's Notes & Reviews

    In the grand tradition of Kuzi and Chris, I've decided to catalogue my experiences in one thread. So, first, a little background. I'm just returning to cigars after about a year or so away. Before that I had smoked for around a year and a half. My preferences run mostly in the medium to full...

    Camacho Corojo Limited - Diploma

    Well, for my first review on these boards, I'll put in my .02 cents on a smoke that truly needs no introduction. As I've mentioned before, I've been away from cigars for a while, but the Camacho Corojos were always in my rotation. Somehow, I never managed to get a hold of a non-Maduro diploma...

    Gurkha Black Puro

    Who has tried these - and would be willing to give their opinion? My favorite maduros are El Rey del Mundo Robustos (the tissue wrapped one), Punch Rotschilds, and Padron '64s (when I splurge). I am not a big fan of Connecticut broadleaf maduros - too one-dimensional for my tastes. So...

    Graycliff Professionale Robusto

    Graycliff Professionale Robusto Blue label - with second band – Vintage 1999 Cmontgomery sent me a few cigars, this was among them. I had looked at these, but never pulled the trigger on one, as it I could get about 10 cigars for the cost of one of these if I shop the deals. Being an...

    NJsmokey's Cigar Reviews

    I smoked IMHO the best cigar I ever had last night. It has moved me to start posting my reviews as a record for myself and to get others feed back. I am still a newb as far as I am concerned so my reviews will change as I go along but I am going to start with the stick I had last night a...

    Csonka Air Purifier

    I am looking into getting an air purifier for my smoke room because it is getting too cold to have the windows open all the time. I have seen the Csonkas on the internet, but I have no idea if they are any good. Are there any good air purifiers that anyone recommends?
