Second Take: Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Legend

September 8, 2008

Jeff did a fantastic job with his Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Legend Review, but I thought I’d add my thoughts on this cigar as well. It isn’t a full review, but more of adding my thoughts on this cigar.

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.

I seem to always go for the lesser known stuff lately, so I’m making an effort over the next couple of weeks to review a few of the easier recognized names in the cigar industry.

Cigar Review: Cohiba "Red Dot" Lonsdale Grande

May 20, 2008

Prelight: This is a review of the Cohiba Lonsdale (a great size), one of the cigars all others are judged by. The wrapper in oily to the touch, just right, not as "toothy" as most Cameroons to the touch. The cigar had a full wonderful feeling like it was packed right, tight head, no super hard spots. The wrapper also tasted good in the mouth, a cigar should have mouth appeal, it should feel and taste well, before you light it.
