Cigar Review: Rocky Patel Decade Toro
Monday, May 5th, 2008
Commemorating Rocky Patel’s ten years of premium cigars is the Decade. Boasted as the best of Patel blends to date, this attractive line is made in Danlí Honduras at the El Paraiso factory. The Decade is donned with a yellow dual band making it quite clear you’re about to smoke a cigar ten years in the making. You can hear Rocky himself on this blend here.

Cigar Review: Perdomo Habano Corojo Torpedo
Friday, May 2nd, 2008If you enjoy that Corojo flavor profile I think you’ll enjoy this one. It is a toss up between this and the Perdomo Habano Maduro on which I like more. I’m actually leaning towards this cigar, but I think most people would prefer the maduro. My list of favorites is starting to include quite a few Perdomo Cigars and this is another one on the list. Set aside some time for this cigar as I’ve found them lasting nearly 2 hours.

Cigar Review: Hoyo De Monterrey Dark Sumatra Noche
Thursday, May 1st, 2008I was gifted one of these by my uncle and I can’t thank him enough. He turned me on to a nice cigar. Though the look of cigar says full strength, the smooth flavors of this cigar make it seem almost mild. This beautiful cigar is blended by Estelo Padrón. The Ecuadoran sun grown wrappers are aged in dried palm leaves. What this does for the flavor, I have no idea, but it obviously works.
Construction: This expertly crafted cigar is very firm with few veins rising from the wrapper. I felt no soft spots along its 6 1/2 inch frame. It has a nice, easy draw warning me to keep it slow and easy. This seems to be about an hour and a half smoke. I learned that to rush it makes for an unpleasant experience.

Cigar Review: La Gloria Cubana Wavell Natural
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008La Gloria Cubana is in General Cigar’s large brand of products, and this particular line is made in their factory in Miami. I actually picked this up at a rolling event at my local cigar store–they had two of the rollers from the factory in Miami and were teaching customers how to roll the wrapper. I learned from this experience that I shouldn’t quit my day job and move to the Dominican Republic–my rolling job was terrible.

Cigar Review: Punch Cafe Royal Maduro
Monday, April 28th, 2008After I finished smoking the Cafe Royal Maduro and looked at my notes I realized I wasn’t sure what I smoked. General Cigar’s website wasn’t a huge help, so it was a great excuse to run down to the The Party Source and find out.
