Cigar Review: Cubao No 1

June 23, 2008

Well I’m not sure if this is more of a treat for me or you. I got my hands on the new cigar from EO Brands. 601 Cigars were featured at one of the weekly tastings put on by The Party Source. Eddie Ortega showed up for the event and handed me a couple of these. He warned me to let them rest a few days before trying them as they were fresh off the rolling table. It was a long wait, I’m not a very patient person. Well I finally gave and lit the first one up last week, and lit the final one up today.

Cigar Review: CAO Brazilia Box Press

June 20, 2008

I’m finally getting around to reviewing one of my go to cigars, the CAO Brazilia. This is actually the first time I’ve smoked the new Box Press. I was a bit worried because many of the other reviews I read complained about the burn on this cigar.

Cigar Review: Padron 6000 Maduro

June 19, 2008

Construction: While the one I smoked for this review was beautiful, these have been hit and miss recently. I’ve had some that look like absolute crap. They shouldn’t have even left the factory. So if you are picking up any singles or boxes at your local shop, be sure to look them over before you walk out.

Cigar Review: La Aurora Connoisseur Selection Cameroon

June 16, 2008

I’ve done the Brazil and the Corojo so today I move on to the La Aurora Connoisseur Selection Cameroon. One of my favorite Cameroon wrappered cigars is made by La Aurora so I was eager to give this one a try. My one fear is that the Corojo would over power the Cameroon. So let’s get started…

Cigar Review: Reyes Family Cigars Premier Perfecto

June 13, 2008

Reyes Family Cigars is the new name for Puros Indios, which is in the process of coming out with a few new lines as they rebrand themselves. One thing that seems to be their trademark is the size of their cigars on the larger end. The Premier is no exception, this Perfecto I’m reviewing intimidates most of the cigars in my humidor. Most other cigars made by Rolando Reyes Sr. have a distinct flavor to them I could often pick up across their brands, this cigar departs from that and the only thing it has in common is the availability in larger vitolas.
