Cigar Review: Dunhill Aged Dominican Peravia

October 1, 2008

Description:
I’ve recently been on a milder cigar kick. I’ve really enjoyed some of the milder smokes I’ve had recently. Next in line is the Dunhill Aged Dominican. Dunhill is a name noted for excellence and class, and this cigar does look classy. The simple blue and white band fit this blend to a tee.

Cigar Review: Isla de Cuba Aged Maduro

September 29, 2008

I’m continuing to work my way through all the cigars I got at the IPCPR in Las Vegas. Last week I took a look at the Isla de Cuba Classic, a creamy surprising fuller flavored Connecticut. This review takes a look at the Isla de Cuba Aged Maduro.

Cigar Review: Isla de Cuba Classic

September 25, 2008

I’d read a couple Isla de Cuba reviews over at Stogie Guys, but other than that I’d never heard of these cigar prior to meeting up with them at the 2008 IPCPR Trade Show. The cigars I got from them went into my humidor with all the other stuff I’d gotten and at the time I didn’t think anything more of it until a few weeks later, Darryl gave me a call and offered to send me a couple more samples. The first one to face the cutter and light was the Classic.

Cigar Review: Camacho Select Robusto

September 18, 2008

When the prize for the last contest was sent to me a few extras were in the box. One of those extras was a box of the new blend of the Camacho Select. While the old Select was a good smoke, it wasn’t one of my go to cigars. Released with a new band and tweaked blend I was looking forward to giving it another try.

Cigar Review: Macanduo 1968 Robusto

September 3, 2008

Description:
I wasn’t weaned on Macanudos when I started smoking cigars. As a matter of fact, I’ve probably only smoked about four or five. I can tell you that I can’t really remember anything about my previous experiences with this brand other than it is an ok cigar.

Cigar Review: Kristoff Criollo Churchill

August 26, 2008

Daniel did a great job reviewing the Kristoff Criollo Churchill back in July so I’m only going to really touch briefly on this cigar.

This rustic looking cigar is very well made and has a nice heft to it. The draw started off a little tight, but opened up nicely in the first inch. The ash was a bit loose and I knocked it off on the table a couple of times.

Cigar Review: Dona Flor Selecao Robusto

August 25, 2008

Another Cigar I picked up while at the IPCPR Tradeshow in Las Vegas. This cigar has been on my must try again list ever since I’d gotten my hands on one over a year ago. The Selecao got a 92 rating in Cigar Aficionado so it could get even harder to find.

Cigar Review: Jameson Black Label

August 22, 2008

I reviewed the original Jameson Red Label awhile back. While it was an enjoyable smoke, it was something I really had to be in the mood to smoke. Brad from Jameson Cigars and Luis Sanchez from La Tradicion Cubana reblended the Red Label and launched the Black Label at the IPCPR Trade Show. I’ll be hitting the newly reblended Red Label in the next couple of weeks. Right not I’m taking a look at the Brazilian wrappered Black Label.

Cigar Review: Kristoff Maduro Churchill

August 21, 2008

The Kristoff lines have been on my list of cigars that I’ve been constantly meaning to try. Thanks to the generous guys over at Exclusive Cigars I got a great selection of samples to try. Daniel tried the Kristoff Criollo awhile back so I’m thought I’d smoke the maduro first.
