    Padron 1964 Maduro

    I am surprised that there is no traffic on, in my opinion, of the best cigars ever made. My judgement is not made on hype, ratings, price etc; some of my favorite cigars range from but not limited to the Gurkha Shaggy, Arturo Fuente Don Carlos, Romeo Y Julieta Reserve Maduro, Rocky Patel Edge...

    Gurkha Hansotia Gold

    Does anybody have an opinion on this cigars? Would be interested to hear reviews of it - picks or pans. It isn't on the Cigar Review top25cigar.com. There is a special on them... Wondering if it is worth the effort. I have already exceeded my cigar budget, but... Thanks. Todd

    Cuesta-Rey Stanford's Cameroon Reserve Pyramid #9

    Cuesta-Rey Stanford's Cameroon Reserve Pyramid # 0.0 - 2.0 = poor/inferior quality 2.1 - 2.9 = fair 3.0 - 3.5 = good 3.5 - 4.5 = excellent 4.6 - 5.0 = superior 1) Aesthetics: With it’s gold foil sleeve and special bands the packaging raises the expectations. At least, I...

    Camacho Candela

    Camacho - Robusto A member of this forum sent me a few cigars, this was among them. I had never smoked one before. It was a Camacho, their normal brown wrapper. Don’t believe it was a special line or anything. I am guessing it is the Candela Monarca. 1) Aesthetics: Robustos are my...

    Camacho Triple Maduro

    Had my first one this evening at the lounge. I wish I could give a full review, but the lady was with me and Craig also came in which was a very cool, so my attention was elsewhere. It was a bit of a coincidence because the night before last I was checking this cigar out online since I like...

    Cohiba Maduro Secreto

    This brand new offering celebrated it's 30 day anniversary in my humidor by being burned up. To start with it is a beautiful dark wrapper and the pre-light draw is a bit tight which I remedied with the help of the infamous Henry Tool from Barcochris. It has a bit of a sweet draw. The...

    Camacho 1962 Pre-Embargo

    This is my first time rating a Cigar , so I hope you'll be gentle with me. Since this is a fairly expensive cigar, I thought I should wait for a "special occasion". Well last night, my wife called me on my way home from work and let me know that both boys were sleeping over a friends house and...

    best cigar in ten years

    OK, you guys may not be impressed. I got into the cigar thing about ten years ago and smoked a few. After all the local purveyors went under I bought smokes from the drug store and local grocery store. What was the result? I learned to keep the receict so I could return the "mummies". Kind...

    Jose Piedra Cazadores 06

    Jose Piedra Cazadores 06 On my porch Friday night with a glass of port, I decided to light one of these guys up. It is a very ugly wrapper with lots of veins and bumps.The whole 1,2,3 thirds does not really work for this cigar as it does not change hardly at all. One puff I would get a...

    96 Fonseca Cosacos

    96 Fonseca Cosacos 5-3/8 X 42 I picked this cigar from the box pass cause I have never smoked anything Fonseca. I was not sure what to expect. Pre light I used a punch on this cigar cause it has become my favorite way to “cut” a cigar. The pre light draw was perfect with a earth flavor...

    Cusano Hermanos Vintage

    Ok this is my first review so be gentle... please. Today I selected a stick that I had not previously tried, the Cusano Hermanos Vintage Robusto. It was the Connecticut shade version that I mistakenly picked up at my B&M back in early July. I thought that I had the sun grown variety, and I...

    Purofino Blue Label

    Again, another review from 1999. Do these even appear on the market anymore? I have seen their Milenio series, but it seems as if this blend has disappeared altogether. Robusto #2 Purofino Blue Label Robusto 1) Aesthetics: Robustos are a wonderful size, and these are oily examples of...
