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.

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.

I hadn’t heard of La Caya cigars prior to the Trade Show in Vegas. They’ve been around since 1997, but are now doing a big push to expand. You’ll probably see their ads start popping up in your favorite cigar magazine in the next few months.
