Cigar Review: Hoyo De Monterrey Dark Sumatra Noche

May 1, 2008

I was gifted one of these by my uncle and I can’t thank him enough. He turned me on to a nice cigar.

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.

Nub Habano 460 Cigar Review

April 3, 2008

Sam’s aim behind the Nub is to isolate the best part of each leaf and only use it in the cigars. While this makes for some rather short cigar the girth makes up for it. The 460 burns nearly as long as a Churchill.
