Brand Crowned Heads Name Headley Grange Vitola Estupendo Country of Origin Nicaragua Wrapper/Filler/Binder Sumatra Ecuador/Nica/Nica Box Code N/A Date Smoked 05/24/2014 Paired With N/A Tasting Notes One dimensional, but a good, straight forward smoke I felt like a little something different yesterday so I reached into my non-Cuban humi and grabbed a Headley Grange. I picked up a few of these on their initial release but had yet to try one. It’s a great looking cigar. The wrapper is a medium shade of brown and looks very well constructed. There’s a great looking band on this cigar as well.…

Brand San Cristobal de la Habana Name El Principe Vitola Minuto Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuba Box Code Early 2012 Date Smoked 04/26/2014 Paired With n/a Tasting Notes Lacks complexity, but a very enjoyable quick smoke I stole 1/2 hour away from the kids yesterday to have a SCDLH El Principe. I hope you enjoy the review… Note: I first reviewed this cigar in Feb of 2013. That review is here.

Brand Cohiba Name Siglo II Vitola Mareva Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuban Box Code MUR AGO 12 Date Smoked 04/19/2014 Paired With Hacker Pschorr Weiss Tasting Notes Beautifully constructed and complex. A near classic!

Brand Tatuaje Name Brown Label Vitola Corona Gorda Country of Origin Nicaragua Wrapper/Filler/Binder Nicaraguan Box Code n/a Date Smoked 03/31/2014 Paired With n/a Tasting Notes My first Tatuaje – not bad but poorly constructed I’m smoking about 90% Cubans these days. On those days that I’m feeling like a little something different I’ll reach for a non-Cuban. This was one of those days. I noticed I had a few Tatuajes sitting in the bottom of the humidor and I realized that I had never smoked a Tatuaje. Today would be the day… I grabbed a brown label – it’s…

Brand Ramon Allones Name Small Club Corona Vitola Minuto Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuba Box Code AUB MAR 13 Date Smoked 02/28/2014 Paired With n/a Tasting Notes Excellent quick smoke. Complex for such a small cigar.

Brand Partagas Name Shorts Vitola Minuto Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuba Box Code ALT OCT 12 Date Smoked 03/05/2014 Paired With n/a Tasting Notes Very strong and bold. A great short smoke if you can handle the nicotine. It was Wednesday evening and I had a little time to kill so I decided to grab a Party Short out of the humidor. I inspected the cigar. It looked like so: A very nice looking smoke indeed. The construction seemed spot on as the cigar was very firm with no soft spots. The pre-light aroma was wonderful with tons…

Brand Hoyo De Monterrey Name Epicure No. 2 Vitola Robusto Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuba Box Code MME MAR 13 Date Smoked 01/31/2014 Paired With n/a Tasting Notes An outstanding first third giving way to “just ok” This past Friday I decided it was time to revisit the “Epi 2.” I have reviewed this cigar in the past and found it to be pretty good, but nothing near the rave reviews I tend to come across online. This particular sample is quite young – from March of 2013. With less than a year of age, how will this cigar perform?…

Brand Por Larranaga Name Petit Corona Vitola Mareva Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuba Box Code AME FEB 13 Date Smoked 01/25/2014 Paired With Leffe Tasting Notes A dependable everyday smoke It was a beautiful day yesterday so I headed out to the back yard for a smoke. I decided to grab a Por Larranaga Petit Corona (PLPC). I recently picked up a cab of these for those times when you have about 45 minutes to burn. The PLPC is an old-school looking smoke. The Por Larranaga band is very unassuming. Some may call it ugly, but I quite…

Brand Partagas Name Series E No. 2 Vitola Robusto Extra Country of Origin Cuba Wrapper/Filler/Binder Cuba Box Code Unknown Date Smoked 01/08/2014 Paired With Rum & Coke Tasting Notes A reserved, yet very enjoyable cigar with terrific aroma. I spent the last week up in Whistler which was incredible. I caught a couple days of huge powder which was KILLER! Anyway, I also had some spare time to smoke a Partagas Serie E No. 2. This was a very enjoyable stick which was light to medium bodied and low strength. The aroma was particularly nice on this stick.…
