The Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial is the second cigar to be blended and released by Jaime Garcia the son of Don Pepin Garcia. Typically I’m not a fan of cigars over a 50 Ring Gauge, but the vitola I reach for most often of this cigar is the 6×54 Toro. The Reserva Especial has dark [...]

Cigar Review: CAO La Traviata Maduro

July 19, 2010

You’ve probably already seen a few reviews of this cigar, but I met with Jon Huber at a local event recently and he sent me a few samples. He mentioned the misplaced band since it came off easy enough I made a quick alteration to repair it. I’m a big fan of the original CAO [...]

Cigar Review: Torano Exodus 50 Years

January 15, 2010

Considering I’ve smoked over a box of the Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 50 Years Short Churchills it was time to write the review. I meant to write it about a month ago, but the holidays and the kids bringing home colds to share forced me to cut back on how much I’ve been smoking. The [...]

Cigar Review: Cubao Maduro No. 5

October 19, 2009

I reviewed the Cubao No. 1 and Jeff reviewed the Cubao No. 4. We were both really impressed with this smoke. Well this year they added the Cubao Maduro to the line. The difference between the Cubao and the Cubao maduro is the wrapper. The maduro has a Ecuadorian Broadleaf Maduro instead of a Ecuadorian [...]

Cigar Review: Carlos Torano "Our Roots Run Deep Tour" Blend

May 11, 2009

My notes were a little sparse on this one, but considering it was a limited release just for the tour it might be a bit hard to come by. One of the first stops of the Torano “Our Roots Run Deep Tour” was at The Party Source’s weekly cigar tasting. The Torano family has always made solid cigars, but Miguel our local sales rep was nice enough to hook me up with three pack of the tour blend.
