Brand Juan Lopez Name Seleccion No. 2 Vitola Robusto Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuba Box Code LTB SEP 13 Date Smoked 08/14/2014 Paired With Grey Monk Pinot Gris Tasting Notes Gorgeous construction but marred by a flat flavour profile I recently snagged a box of JLS No.2’s so I decided to fire one up yesterday. It’s a pretty good looking cigar. The Juan Lopez band is very minimalist which gives it an old school look. This particular box have beautiful, dark and rich wrappers with very few veins. I gave it a punch cut and took a cold…

Special thanks to Rye for this great review — PVC SA OO gifted from brother REASON  Gorgeous construction on this 38rg x166mm long panetela. An oily, light Colorado shade wrapper with light veins, a perfect pack, and a rustic, flattened triple cap smells of breakfast baking from the foot, and dusty cedar from the body. I punch the cap with a Remington Magnum 7mm casing and reveal a perfect draw tasting of mild straw and spice.  The cigar takes very quickly to my cedar spill and bursts into action on this beautiful Sunday morning. Immaculate balance and flavours of tea and leather greet…

Brand Punch Name Punch Punch Vitola Corona Gorda Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuban Box Code BAM AGO 13 Date Smoked 07/17/2014 Paired With Ole Smoky Sweet Tea Moonshine Tasting Notes A fantastic smoke considering its age I recently snagged a box of Punch Punch (BAM AGO 13). I had read that these were smoking quite well despite their youth, so I decided to check it out for myself. It’s a very nice looking cigar with a smooth, rich brown wrapper. The prelight aroma is sweet. After a punch (who wouldn’t punch a Punch Punch?), I take a cold draw…

Here’s a good little article on some new Cuban’s being released this year. I for one, did not know about the Trinidad Vigia. Very interesting indeed. — Just like the fashion world, the cigar industry changes on an annual basis, and what may be popular one year might be completely out of vogue the next. Fortunately, this is an exciting year for cigar smoking, with many record-breaking releases from some of the most prestigious brands in the business.

Brand H. Upmann Name Connossieur A Vitola Genios Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuba Box Code LUB ENE 14 Date Smoked 06/25/2014 Paired With n/a Tasting Notes A very strange tasting cigar (ginger & yeast!) A strange cigar calls for a strange review! Bar none, the weirdest tasting cigar I’ve experienced to date. I hope you enjoy the show… UPDATE: I smoked another of these yesterday (Nov 22, 2014) and this cigar has changed a lot. It is now showing tons of sweetness with notes of gingerbread and a smooth spicy finish. 89 points.

Brand Cohiba Name Robusto Vitola Robusto Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuban Box Code POU MAY 13 Date Smoked 06/08/2014 Paired With Gray Monk Pinot Gris Tasting Notes A great cigar with an unbelievably good first third I managed to steal an hour away for myself yesterday so I decided to fire up a stick. As June is Robusto Month on the forum I went with a Cohiba Robusto (CoRo). CoRo’s are great looking cigars and this sample was no exception: I gave this beauty a punch and fired it up. The first couple of draws were surprisingly spicy with a…
