Let me start by saying I never judge anything the first try. This is my secon of these and I feel they are aweful. I smoke the first one after i had it in my humi for approx 3 weeks, didn't like it. Thought I would let the second one sit for 2 months, realy no better. The burn was pretty goood...
Had a Gurkha Titan Saturday night. Not sure what the size is exactly because I have seen it listed as 3 or 4 different sizes. Gurkhas website has it at 6.5 X 50. I know it is a lot bigger ring that 50. The LGC Serie R are 52 / 54 and it is bigger than those. I think it is 6.5 X 56. I have a...
OK this is my first attempt at a review so take it easy on me ok?
I find the baccarat to be a well rounded, complex smoke. It has a mild to medium sweet, spicy flavor with notes of wood and chocolate. The aroma is woodsy and pleasant. The cap is lightly sweetened.
They tend to be a...
This is the Van55 HCF rating system. the reason it is was adopted is cause the 100 point system is hard to use. what is the diiference betwen a 89 and a 90? I think it is a good idea if we use this. I think it gives a much better clue as to what you think of the cigar.

Let me start by saying I really like the Oliva Serie G and Serie O cigars. They tend to be my pool shooting cigar. I was hoping that the Flor de Oliva would be a cheaper alternative to the higher priced Olivas (not expensive mind you, just higher priced) but sadly they're not. I was very...

First off, let me just say this is my favorite cigar I've tried yet. Better than what I've tried at twice the price (ie Ashton Cabinet Series, although it's a very good cigar as well, just not worth twice the price).
Size: GOL - 5x56, or what I like to call a fat robusto.
Price: $5.95 at...
After reading reviews on how good this cigar is for the money, I decided to try a few out for myself. I wasn't at all impressed.

As a newbie I am having a good time trying out new cigars. I sparked a Gurkha Legend this evening that came with my COTM shipment. What a truly wonderful, flavorful cigar. This was the first premium cigar I've had the pleasure to enjoy. I'm finding some of the milder sticks a little boring...
Not sure if any of you guys have tried the new Cigar.com Corojo Label but I just finished up my 10th Robusto and I must say I think this is my favorite house blend. Full bodied and spicy and distinctly Pepin made. Pepper and leather notes with a chewy and buttery texture and long finish. Very...
Not a bad cigar. Very rich espresso and peaty flavor and full body. Well balanced. These smoke well after some resting time in the humi. After my dissapointment with the Small Batch this restored some of my faith.
Smoking one right now.
Just take the first puff and you get this unusual woody flavor which is consistent throughout but the spice don't come yet until about one inch in. A mild smoke, at first i thought i was getting coffee flavors then mocha but then it settled to ginger very much like a...
I had one the other night and I really didn't like it. Maybe becasue its a corjo. I havn't like other corjo cigars. It was $11.50 for the smoke so I didn't think it was worth the price. Anyone eles have one and what your thoughts where. Thanks Craig
