Padron 1964 Hermoso Natural Review I am expecting greater complexity and balance from the Natural version of the Hermoso by Padron. The Maduro was powerful and bold, let’s see where this falls in comparison. With that let’s begin a Padron 1964 Hermoso Natural Review. Prelight Do I even need to talk about the cap, after […]

Padron 1964 Hermoso Maduro Review Quite a shorter cigar in size today, however due to the 56 ring gauge I believe the smoke time will not be affected. On that note I will be leaving the review in three sections. This is the first of a series this week. If you don’t count the TAA […]

Padron No 48 TAA 2016 Natural Review This is Padron’s TAA offering for 2016 coming in at 5 1/2 inches by 60, it is the same length as the 2015 but definitely a “Gordo” ring gauge. The last 1926 I reviewed was a very good cigar, this bearing the same branding, I expect to hold […]

Davidoff Chef’s Edition Review A Davidoff with an Ecuadorian wrapper, that alone has me highly intrigued. I am excited given that information because when a cigar is blended right with such a wrapper it can hit the blend out of the park. Interesting, this is a limited production cigar down to 1500 boxes. Given that […]

Chogui Cigars Dos77 Longsdale Review This is a newer company with low production numbers. This isn’t something that I have a lot of background knowledge on. They have been quite popular on the cigar forums though. In either case I am interested to see what the little bit of hype they are getting is about. […]

L’Atelier La Mission 1955 Review This is a line by L’Atelier and with that comes decently high expectations. The cigars I have reviewed by them tend to follow a similar style, however it’s a good style. The three original launch releases of these were decent, but I expect the higher wrapper ratio present in this […]

Davidoff Puro d’Oro Notables Review Very sad to hear that Davidoff is retiring this line. The last review I conducted on this line scored the Eminentes (another vitola of this cigar) at a 92. I expect at least and equal experience if not better from this cigar. While you can find them, or if you […]

L’Atelier Cote d’Or La Tache 2016 Review The Cote d’Or 2015 release was quite a cigar, this is the new 2016 release just hitting shelves. Again it is boasting a Sancti Spiritus wrapper, it will be interesting to see how this release holds up. One of my favorite cigars in general (the Special Selection LAT38) is […]

La Aurora Preferidos Maduro Review These cigars often get overlooked because of how long they have been around. I have to say it has been a while since I have visited these. One difference to take into account is that this is a review of the non-tubo version of the Preferidos. The tubos are significantly […]

Roma Craft CroMagnon Anthropology Review Roma Craft does a great job of staying true to the art form of cigars. This is, in my opinion, their most successful line. The wrappers of this cigar are sourced from the United States which is an interesting characteristic and adds to the story of the cigar. Lets see […]
