Caldwell Last Tsar Churchill Review

The Last Tsar Churchill
Made by: Caldwell
Country: Dominican
Vitola: 7 by 47

The original release of the “Last Tsar” was a 5 by 50 size, this new release has been done in a larger vitola. In this Caldwell Last Tsar Review, the characteristics of this cigar will be assessed. The reputation as it goes, is a full bodied powerhouse. Robert Caldwell has produced some great releases, the “Eastern Standard” and “The King is Dead” to name a couple. The first release of the Last Tsar was very popular, and it is fair to assume this will be as well. Lets see what this cigar has to offer.

Prelight

The first thing I noticed, simply due to novelty appeal, was the nice pigtail on the cap. The cap itself looks very well done, minimal veins on the wrapper. The seams are barely visible, and the 47 ring gauge gives the cigar more character then your traditional 7 by 50 Churchill. There is a good amount of tooth present on the wrapper, suggesting the smoke production and mouth feel of this cigar will be enjoyable. The foot is releasing a woodsy/floral note with some light pepper. Interesting combination, very clean cut a testament to the construction of the cigar. Amazing draw, and the prelight draw leaves a slight tingle on the lips. The flavor is harder to place, floral note but slightly sweet and the pepper note is certainly present.

1/3

A ton of cedar on the front with a light black pepper finish, pepper very noticeable on the retrohale. Pretty thin smoke although a decent amount of it. Behind the cedar not there is almost a orange note toward the finish ahead of the pepper. The smoke does have a nice mouth feel that is a light oil. As I get into the first third the smoke is getting thicker. Medium body at the moment with low strength. The orange note is a light sweet citrus, great blend of flavors. Pretty straight burn line at the moment, and a gray ash with the tooth visible. The main flavors are holding with cedar and citrus, and the black pepper finish.  Not a ton of complexity, but good flavors and good burn. The wood seems to be rising and overpowering the citrus note which is dying off. The pepper is still noticeable on the finish and certainly on the retrohale. As the first third is ending a nutty note is coming up slowly.

2/3

The cigar remains cedar forward, but in the second layer of flavors is a cashew/peanut note is present. And the finish consists of a pepper and salty note. I mean salty, very distinct with that, and can be tasted well into the finish alongside the pepper. The complexity of the cigar is rising as it burns which is a good thing. As for the body I would still rank it as a medium, and low to medium strength at this point. The smoke is still not too thick, but the light oil mouth feel remains. The smoke production is increasing slowly and the body seems to be rising slowly as well. As the second third comes to an end the body is up to a medium-full, strength still at a low to medium. The flavors haven’t changed just gotten bolder as the body has come up.

3/3

As the last third starts the cedar has gotten stronger and so has the pepper, the nutty note seems to be dying down. There is a light oak mixing with the cedar on the front now, and the strength is up to a medium. The body is approaching full, the cigar has had smooth and defined transitions as it is burning down. As the cigar is progressing toward the nub, body and strength continue to increase. The nutty salty note has reappeared as well. At the very end of the cigar, at the nub, the dominate flavors were the woodsy and pepper notes. Great smoke time and no issues with the burn.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 40 minutes

Conclusion: 90

The Last Tsar had smooth and intriguing transitions with good flavors, and definitely kept my attention. The construction was perfect, there were no issues whatsoever in that department. Given this cigars price point, I would say it is what you would expect. Medium to full body with medium strength, and both the body and strength increase as the cigar burns down. Make sure you have the time to sit back and enjoy this, if you are looking to smoke one cigar over a good period of time (an event or evening on the patio) this would be a great go to. Cedar forward with a interesting citrus note in the first third and a delicious saltiness in the second third, this cigar contains flavors that are rare to come by.

HR Hermoso Review

HR Hermoso
Made by:Cubanacan
Wrapper: Ecuadorian
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Vitola: 5 1/8 by 48

A cigar with the Robaina name attached to it, tends to command a higher price. In this HR Hermoso Review, the cigar is a creation from Cubanacan Cigars and Hirochi Robaina. Expectation management is the game today, I have very high hopes for this cigar. Lets see if the Robaina name holds it’s prestige in non-Cuban form.

Prelight

First note is that the roller was a little excessive in the amount of cigar glue used. I do appreciate the fact that due to this, the cigar has a very low chance of having any construction issues beside the aesthetic error of the glue. The HR Hermoso does have a cubanesque triple cap, although it could be done a little better.  There are visible seams, and a quite a few defined veins. And the foot is partially closed. The foot is releasing a pungent sweet, woodsy, and floral note. The scent of this cigar is very promising and intoxicating. Not the cleanest cut, a little loose tobacco but no issues. The prelight draw shows a white pepper and a floral note alongside oak.

1/3

A ton of smoke is barreling off of this cigar. Immediately, white pepper is in the front of the profile followed by a cedar and oak on the finish. The pepper dies down slightly after the cigar burns for 5 minutes or so. For a couple puffs I though I noted the distinct flavor of pez candy. The complexity of this cigar is off the charts, the white pepper remains on the front. The notes that follow are a progression of a light sweetness, cedar, oak, and then a toasted almond flavor on the finish. Medium to full body with low strength at this point, but I do expect the strength to rise. The pepper stays in your mouth past the finish and leaves it tingling. Spicy food lovers would like this in my opinion. As the first third burns down, the nuttiness comes up and reveals a macadamia nut accompanying the almond. Something to note, all of the other flavors are still present. This cigar is preforming by having each of the flavors rise in the profile at different points. The nut forward profile behind the white pepper is remaining until the end of the first third. Not the straightest burn line at the moment, no corrections but I might need to if it gets crazier.

2/3

At the start of the second third the smoke is getting creamier and changing the profile, the white pepper bite is still present. The pepper in this blend is very enjoyable, black pepper bombs tend to be harsh, but there is no harshness in this blend whatsoever. The nut notes are falling and the woodsy flavor is coming up. Oak and cedar are the main notes present in that flavor layer now. The strength is rising to a medium slowly. The ash is holding very well and just fell at the halfway point. The woodsy notes and nutty notes are fighting for control behind the white pepper. The body is up to a full and the strength is at a medium. The burn line is still not straight but it has not needed any touch-ups. As this third comes to an end there is a coffee note coming up on the finish that does have some sweetness to it.

3/3

Full body, very robust flavors, medium strength and the white pepper bite has been fantastic throughout the cigar. The nutty/woodsy/coffee notes are blended after the white pepper bite at the moment and creating amazing complexity. the smoke production has died down a bit and the cigar does not contain the creaminess that was present in the second third. At the very end on the cigar I felt as though I was finishing a meaty steak, a superb mix of flavors to end this exceptional cigar.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes

Conclusion: 95

It is very very rare that a cigar commands a perfect score in terms of flavor in my eyes, this cigar achieved that. Well worth the price point, you will not be disappointed. One of the best I have smoked this year. Medium strength and full bodied, the Robaina prestige holds in this non-Cuban form. I highly recommend smoking this cigar if you have not already, it is an extremely pleasurable experience.

Lost and Found Butter Review

Butter
Made by: Lost and Found
Wrapper: Ecuadorian
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican
Vitola: Corona Gorda – 5 3/4 by 46

The Lost and Found series of cigars are hit and miss, there have been several releases under this title with unorthodox names, and the quality of the cigars are hit and miss as well. These cigars have been sitting in warehouses when they are stumbled upon or re-discovered and then released. Let’s see what they have “found” with a “Lost and Found Butter Review”.

Prelight

This cigar has lots of veins, well made cap, and the pack is not very uniform. There are several soft spots and one knot that I can feel. Very visible seams, the quality of the roll is high, however it seems like the quality of the Tabasco may be slightly lower. The foot is releasing an aged tobacco note and earth with cacao. Very clean cut, thick wrapper, and there is some loose tobacco when cut. The draw has a little above average resistance and seems to be tunneling through one side quicker. Let’s see how this smokes though. The prelight draw shows signs of the earth note accompanied by a black pepper.

1/3

Once the cigar was lit I detected no issues with the draw. Very cacao forward, with a light earthiness on the finish. Ample smoke production, and there is a black pepper intertwined with the earth on the finish. Low strength and medium body. Thick creamy smoke, it leaves an oil slick in your mouth that is not something I have encountered often. This is probably where the name “Butter” came from. The cacao and earth are blended into a great mix and the oil mouth feel acts as a great addition. Pepper is coming up in the profile, but the other mix of flavors is very bold.

2/3

As the second third begins the pepper is still trying to take over the profile but the cacao/earth mix is still dominate. Still not past a medium body and the strength is still at a low. There is a slight sour note I am getting as I reach the midpoint hopefully that does not linger for long. It did subside after about 5 minutes. At the end of the second third black pepper is about even with the cacao/earth mix. Straight burn line and no major draw issues to note.

3/3

The start of the last third shows the pepper tingle in the mouth accompanied by the oil mouth feel. No changes to body or strength. As the final third progressed the cacao and earth mix came back up to dominate and that’s how the cigar ended. Something to note, the cigar did get quite hot and squishy as I approached the nub.

Smoke time: 1 hour and 10 minutes

Conclusion: 81

Construction issues and a lack of complexity hurt the score of the cigar. However, the cacao note and the oil mouth feel were this cigar’s best characteristics. The cacao was cleaner than usual allowing for a pleasing experience. I would smoke it again, but not too frequently, the mouth feel is an intriguing aspect of this cigar and should appeal to the “out of the normal” seeking cigar smokers. Medium bodied and low strength all the way through, this “lost and found” release was a good find.

My Father Connecticut Review – Robusto

Connecticut Robusto
Made by: My Father
Wrapper: Ecuadorian
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Vitola: Robusto 5 1/4 by 52

The My Father Connecticut is a shade darker than traditional Connecticut wrappers. The wrapper itself has a few blemishes, barely visible seams. And the cap is done flawlessly. Personally I enjoy the addition of a ribbon at the foot of a cigar, it just adds an extra step to starting to smoke the cigar. However, by doing that it adds a little more satisfaction to the experience. The vibrant Orange on the secondary band is flashy compared to the usual My Father Band. And that’s all to note of first impressions, so let’s begin.

Prelight

After clipping the cap there was some loose flakes. The cigar has one hard spot toward the foot but it shouldn’t be an issue. Uniformity of texture is something that is preferred. There are a few blemishes in the wrapper if the cigar, and minimal veins. The foot is putting off a earthy and woodsy note. Cedar, oak, and earth are the notes I am picking up. The prelight draw has a little above average resistance, and is putting off the woodsy notes that were detectable on the foot.

1/3

Thin smoke at the start but lots of it. Mild-medium body, but cedar forward with a light earth note on the finish. No strength at all and I doubt that any will appear in this cigar. An impressive array of wood on the front for a mild cigar. The body seems to be rising slowly. Extremely white ash, quick finish but leaves the taste of cedar in your mouth. There seems to be a little pepper note sneaking into the profile. Great mix of cedar followed by oak and the earth note has died down. The pepper note is rising into the finish. Perfect burn line as I end the first third, strong white ash.

2/3

The end white pepper note is mixed with cedar producing a great flavor. Still thin smoke but it hasn’t really been an issue. Leaning toward a medium body now and there is a little strength which I didn’t expect. The little knot that I noted in the start was a little tunnel spot, it caused no issue though. The oak note fell, and the cedar and white pepper are mixed for the primary flavor. Smoke has gotten thicker and adding a cream to the profile mixing with the cedar and light white pepper.

3/3

In the last third the body is still at a medium, and the white pepper has come up to overpower the cedar and cream which are still on the finish. Pepper continued to rise in the end, and the nub got hot pretty quick. The body ended at a medium and still very low strength. One thing is for sure however, the smell of oak and cedar is still lingering everywhere.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes

Conclusion: 87

I had to dock this for the little construction issues it had. But it tasted great, it would be a wonderful morning cigar. Predominately cedar and oak with a slowly rising white pepper. The smokes thickness increased as it burned down and added a nice cream note. And it ended at a medium body, this is easily something that you could smoke three in a row and still enjoy it and not get overpowered by strength. The My Father factory made a great addition to their line with this.

Liga Privada No.9 Review

Liga Privada No. 9
Made by: Drew Estate
Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Brazilian
Filler: Nicaraguan and Honduran
Vitola: Robusto 5 by 54

A Liga Privada No.9 review isn’t needed to say that it is a superb cigar. However, in the interest of being that final weight to push someone over the edge into trying one of these pieces of art, a review is exactly what I am doing. The bands that drew estate created for this special line of cigars are a perfect sign of what is to come. No matter what Liga Privada you have the privilege of smoking (much less finding) the lions crest is a special addition to the band. So much so, that I know many individuals who have made coffee tables and other furniture additions to their homes which use the boxes bearing the Liga Privada crest.

Prelight

The Liga Privada No.9 boasts a beautiful dark veiny toothy wrapper. The foot has a strong sweet molasses and graham cracker note with a lower note of chocolate. Without fail, I am always impressed by the construction of these cigars. The cap is a double cap, but it is applied so cleanly that it doesn’t effect the construction score. Clean cut, and the prelight draw has just the right amount of resistance. Cold draw with an almost minty note up front on the prelight and then the sweet molasses is noticeable after.

1/3

The primary flavor as the cigar begins is a deep sweet chocolate and a clean minty finish. there is a slight barnyard note in the middle of those two flavors but it is well blended in and appropriate. In typical Drew Estate fashion this cigar is a chimney. It is just pouring off smoke, highly advisable to smoke this outside because the smoke production could easily fill a room. Super thick and extremely creamy smoke that create a full mouth feel, the high amount of tooth is usually a clue to this characteristic. Medium body and no strength at all currently. As the first third progresses the flavors moved a bit changing in terms of what was dominate. But the sweet chocolate, barnyard, and clean almost minty finish remain. There was a brief low white pepper note that came and disappeared quickly. The white pepper is very noticeable on the retrohale, and is probably responsible for the blend of flavors creating the minty finish.

2/3

Ash fell off at just about the second third point, the dominate flavor at this time is a mix of cacao and sweet chocolate. The barnyard note has died and the finish is a white pepper now. The smoke production is still enormous and the mouth feel is the same full thick creaminess that it was during the first third. As this third continues the cacao came up and the white pepper note died down.

3/3

As the final third began the barnyard note rose back up over the cacao for a short period of time. The sweetness has died down at this point. The white pepper finish came back up as the third progressed and the sweet chocolate rose with that to be about equal in terms of the flavor profile. The cigar’s body rose to a medium full and there was a very small amount of strength that showed its face in the very end. The nub’s flavors were controlled by the cacao and white pepper.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 35 minutes

Conclusion: 91

The burn time was long and the flavors kept my attention throughout the cigar. Medium bodied and low strength, the transitions through the cigar were smooth and well blended. As expected the cigar kept up with its names reputation. Spectacular burn line and great smoke output. This is something that could be smoked anytime of day and still be enjoyed to its full potential.

LFD TAA 47th Exclusive Review

TAA 47th
Made by: LFD
Wrapper: Ecuadorian
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Dominican
Vitola: 5 1/2 by 52

The LFD TAA 47th Exclusive cigar was made especially for the 2015 TAA convention and is sturdily built. It has visible seams and several prominent veins. I always love seeing the TAA symbol on cigars, it’s a sign of a lot of care being put into a blend in almost all cases.

Prelight

The foot is giving off a cacao and slightly mineral note. The cigar had a clean cut, but there is a bit of loose tobacco. One thing worth noting is the wrapper leaf seems thicker than usual. That is a hint that this may be a quite flavorful and robust cigar. Mainly a barnyard earthy flavor mixed with cacao on the prelight draw with a slight tingle left on the lips. I might taste a bit of leather in there as well but only time will tell.

1/3

Plenty of smoke, medium to full body, and there is a mineral note to start and then a coffee taking over on the finish. As this third develops it shows characteristics of a can of salted nuts with coffee on the finish. The coffee note has a sweeter almost milk chocolate flavor compared to the description of cacao, which is more dark chocolate reminiscent. Slightly flaky grey ash, and a straight burn line. Not razor sharp, but that can be attributed to the ample vein presence. Low strength, but it is there in the background.

2/3

As the second third begins the ash fell in a solid chunk. The coffee flavor has developed to contain a large cacao note. And there is also a slight heat on the finish, however nothing overwhelming in terms of that spicy heat. Strength seems to be rising slowly at a medium or just below that at the moment. The body I would still put at a medium full. The nuts died down at the beginning of this third but are slowly returning as it burns. The most prominent note remains the cacao, and the nuts are still returning on the finish very slowly as the second third is coming to an end.

3/3

The primary flavor is still coffee/cacao and the salted nuts have returned. There has been no change to the body or strength since the second third. The cacao continued to dominate for the remaining part of the cigar the spice/heat returned on the finish as it reached the nub. The salty nuts were still detectable at this point. The body ended at a medium to full, and the strength held at a medium.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes

Conclusion: 89

Nothing overly impressive about this cigar, but it performed flawlessly and the flavor profile was delicious. Not a ton of complexity, but as it is, I don’t believe I would change the blend at all. It was a very enjoyable cigar. Another one for the books, the TAA exclusive cigars always impress. Medium to full body with medium strength. The predominate flavors throughout the cigar were the coffee and salted nut notes.

Crowned Heads Las Mareas Pre-release – COMING THIS MONTH

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium has been selected by Crowned Heads to receive the first limited release of two sizes of the Crowned Heads Las Mareas this November, 2015.  Crowned Heads intends to launch the Las Mareas it the 2016 IPCPR Convention as a new regular production line, but two sizes are available at a limited number of retailers NOW: Las Mareas Olas (6 1/8 x 46 Fat Lonsdale or skinny Toro; take your pick) and, Las Mareas Rebeldes (5 1/2 x 52 Robusto Extra). Each vitola was limited to just 500 20-ct boxes (10,000 cigars) for the November 2015 pre-release.  Crowned Heads Las Mareas is a full bodied Nicaraguan puro grown by the García family and made at My Father Cigars, S.A. in Estelí.

The hype around the new Crowned Heads Las Mareas cigar has been intense, to say the very least. There was a not-so-secret pre-release to the official prerelease in September and a very lucky few customers have actually tried the Las Mareas. Many have described it as a good, full bodied, old-school stick with plenty of pepper, yet still balanced… plenty of body, yet palatable. We’re very excited to try one ourselves.

“At some points… I’m not sure if I’m smoking a Cuban-made Montecristo or Hoyo de Monterrey, or a Nicaraguan Crowned Heads…The ‘Cubanesque’ term gets thrown around a lot but this [Las Mareas] is… as close as I’ve tasted.” – Halfwheel

From Crowned Heads: “Las Mareas translates to ‘the tides,’ and the blend’s big-rich-bold flavor profile is a nod to the big waves of the world and the surf culture that surrounds them. Comprised of 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos, many who’ve sampled pre-release Las Mareas have compared the taste to a bygone era of vintage Cuban cigars. The binder and filler tobaccos in Las Mareas are all Nicaraguan, and grown on the García family fincas in and around Estelí. The Corojo ’99 wrapper that finishes the blend, originates from what is regarded as the ‘original Cuban seed,’ and is grown under the expert supervision of Don Pepín and Jaime García at the García family finca in Namanji (approximately 20 miles outside of Estelí, Nicaragua). Las Mareas is the first Crowned Heads cigar to utilize 100% García-grown Nicaraguan tobaccos.

Crowned Heads Las Mareas Pre-release

Place of Manufacture: Estelí, Nicaragua
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo ’99

Davidoff Colorado Claro Review

Colorado Claro Special R
Made by: Davidoff
Wrapper: Ecuadorian
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican
Vitola: 4 7/8 by 50

The Davidoff brand comes with a prestigious pre-judgment, and rightfully so. Many of the cigars that this company produces are well constructed, smooth, and worthy of any celebration. This Davidoff Colorado Claro Review will attempt to break down the complexity of this widely recommended and praised cigar.

Prelight

The cigar has a nice looking cap. The band is just the right size to where the cigar looks like it was made with the intent to please the smoker in every way possible. Barely visible seams. And the foot gives off a scent that reminds me of my great grandpa’s vineyard. A raisin and earth scent. I enjoy that but also recognize the flavors the cigar puts off will most likely be different then what I am gathering from the foot. The perfect draw, and there is a raisin note followed by a very low leather on the prelight.

1/3

Deep earthiness is in the front with a mix of nuts on the finish. Slight pepper note on the retrohale, that note is reminiscent of cayenne. Thick creamy smoke on the draw, exactly what you would expect from a cigar at this price point. The nutty flavors linger in the mouth until the next draw. A mix of macadamia nut and hazelnut with a dash of cinnamon is the primary flavor at the moment. The cinnamon on note is most likely coming from a mix of the cayenne and the nuts. Great complexity and enjoyable. Nothing bad to say, good burn and solid ash. Medium bodied with no strength at the moment. At the end of the first third the smoke is so creamy it’s playing into the flavor of the cigar alongside the nutty mix. And the little cayenne finish rounds it out perfectly.

2/3

As the second third starts there is an earthiness detectable behind the front macadamia and hazelnut mix. The cayenne finish is still present. No changes to the body or strength though. The earth has come up to match the nuttiness and the cayenne has gotten stronger on the finish. Hoping the earth will die back down because the first thirds flavors were wonderful. The flavors are all matching at medium body in the nut to earth to cayenne order. There is a slight amount of strength noticeable, but only at a low. Nice cool smoke, the pepper is changing into a more black pepper note, the retrohale is no longer something I would recommend doing.

3/3

The mixed nut flavors are coming back up, the earthiness is dying down and the finish is now the black pepper note. And then there was a pretty abrupt change to Hazelnut and cacao notes. And the black pepper retreated on the finish toward the end of the last third. And the cigar ended at a medium body with low strength.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes

Conclusion: 90

Intriguing transitions, distinct and well announced flavors. High complexity and good structure. Great beginning and good ending. Definitely something worth smoking even at its price point. It held medium body all the way through and not any higher then low strength.
