Ashton Symmetry Prism Review »

Ashton Symmetry Prism Review Ashton cigars are a sign of prestige, whether you want to admit it or not. There is a bit of class associated with going to a cigar bar and smoking a VSG, ESG, Cabinet, but this is a cigar that is newer to the company. In this Ashton Symmetry Prism Review, keep […]

Caldwell Eastern Standard Maduro Review »

Caldwell Eastern Standard Maduro Review Caldwell, every time I think of this brand I now think perfect construction. That’s probably not a good thing for the sake of reviews I conduct on their cigars because it means I am immediately holding their cigars to a higher standard. But I believe my expectations are justified given […]

Brickhouse Traveler Tubo Review »

Brickhouse Traveler Tubo Review I would classify this as a fairly consistent and enjoyable “yardgar,” but then again this is a vitola of the Brickhouse that I have yet to have. This main difference with this release is the Tubo. The only real way to see if there is a quality or complexity increase would […]

Montecristo No 2 Vintage Belicoso Review »

Montecristo No 2 Vintage Belicoso Review This is the General Cigars production of the originally cuban Montecristo brand. I feel the need to express that information. So as a separate entity, this brand operates by using alternative tobaccos then the original company uses. This is a limited run by the company advertised as a “Vintage […]

Avo Nicaragua Syncro Toro Review »

Avo Nicaragua Syncro Toro Review Several weeks ago I reviewed the Avo Nicaragua in Robusto. This will be a comparison of the cigar across vitolas. I don’t expect many large differences. My main concern is that the Robusto was very balanced, in that I feel that a larger vitola might dilute the blend. Lets see […]

Arturo Fuente Anejo No. 8-8-8 Review »

Arturo Fuente Anejo No. 8-8-8 Review My last Fuente review went all right, but left me wanting more from the company. This is a special release labeled Xtra Viejo. It’s a very unique size, coming in at 6 and 5/8 by 44. Not thin enough to be considered a lancero, but too long to be […]

Avo 90th Classic Covers Volume 3 Review »

Avo 90th Classic Covers Volume 3 Review Avo has done some great cigars, I am really looking forward to this blend, but with that I have some pretty high expectations. I couldn’t list all of the cigars that I consider a success by this company. My only question is why these cigars aren’t as widely […]

Davidoff Box Pressed Nicaragua Toro Review »

Davidoff Box Pressed Nicaragua Toro Review It’s time for another Davidoff Review! I recently did another vitola of the Davidoff Nicaragua. This is a box pressed toro size of the same line and it will be interesting to see how that changes the profile. Let’s see how it performs with a Davidoff Box Pressed Nicaragua […]

Caldwell Eastern Standard Cake Walk Review »

Caldwell Eastern Standard Cake Walk Review The construction of Caldwell cigars is impeccable. Not even getting into the description of this cigar, any time I think of this brand now, that is my initial thought. I have produced a lot of reviews for this company’s cigars and they have done a great job with their […]

Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Belicoso Review »

Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Belicoso Review This will be the first review conducted on something from Arturo Fuente. This is a popular cigar for the occasional cigar smoker. Or a friend that recognizes it when they walk into a small cigar shop. I have had mixed experiences with these cigars in the past, not this […]
