Cigar: Reposado by AJ Fernandez Size: Salomon (7.1 x 58) Wrapper: Habano Filler: Nicaragua Drink: None Pre-light: Nice looking wrapper on a very large unbanded cigar.

Oliva Serie V Liga Especial (Short Ashes)
Back once again, with taste buds that are still a little out of whack from a bout with allergies, I have for you a short video on the Oliva Serie V Liga Especial. This review was recorded outside in my yard (while seated to prevent dizzy spells as caused by my Camacho Coyolar review). Video […]
Camacho Coyolar (Short Ashes)
This past week I was sidelined by a blast of allergies, as a result I was unable to get my traditional Friday review done for you. Fortunately, before the allergies kicked in I was able to record a short ashes review of the Camacho Coyolar. Now that my allergies seem to be lessening, it looks […]

Casa Royale Crown by Don Pepin Garcia (Guest Review)
This is the description of the cigar per Holt’s website: “This cigar shares a wrapper leaf with Tatuaje’s prized Black Label. It certainly isn’t Pepin’s strongest blend but what it lacks in punch it more than makes up for with a complex and dizzying blast of flavors ranging from spicy earth and cedar to creamy […]

The thread was created by one of our regulars, schedel, and suggested that we create a new board for cigar shop reviews. After talking with Jerry and Brian, we decided that it would make a great addition […]
