Personal Cigar Review: Partagas Y Nada Mas Robusto
Partagas

The Partagas Y Nada Mas Robusto had a pretty nice start as the crushed red pepper provided a nice accent along with the mustiness. The second third took a step down as the black pepper replaced the crushed red pepper and continued at that level the rest of the way. I was hoping for more of the first...

Team Cigar Review: Perdomo Legacy Shade Grown Epicure
Perdomo Ci**rs

I’ve smoked two of the Perdomo Legacy offerings, the Shade and Maduro, and both have been solid releases. Blends I would come back to in the future. The Perdomo Legacy Shade Grown Epicure delivers a nice flavor profile and amazing construction from start to finish. It is never harsh and has a nice...

Personal Cigar Review: Macanudo Gold Label 2025 Torpedo
Macanudo Ci**rs

The Macanudo Gold Label 2025 Torpedo had an average flavor profile throughout, focused around toasted cedar and earth. The construction paper didn't help or hurt the profile. Overall, just an average offering. It smokes smooth and has strength below medium, so a cigar that anyone could enjoy, it jus...

Team Cigar Review: JRE Aladino 85 Aniversario Reserva Toro
Aladino Ci**rs

Truly a wonderful cigar and well worthy of the great 85 anniversary. The JRE Aladino 85 Aniversario Reserva Toro showed great composure throughout the entire smoking experience (and yes even within the final third!). The flavors melded well, touching on sweetness, creaminess, spice, stone fruit and....
