| Illusione Ultra OP No. 4 |  | 05Venturer | 5/20/2018 7:06 PM | | Nice little box pressed smoke. Preflight aroma is just light tobacco(as it should). Upon lighting you are reminded this is a Nicaraguan pure with a blast of spice, along with the spice are notes of leather, wood & tobacco. Burn is wandering a bit but straightened out before a touch up is needed. Not much for changes thru the cigar but still a tasty little spice bomb. If your looking for a well made short spicy cigar I would definitely recommend this. Thanks to KidMontana for this cigar. | | Quorum Shade Robusto |  | Koop | 5/20/2018 4:11 PM | | I didn't know any better when I bought these. Got a bundle deal. Poorly constructed, bland, cut filler tastes like cigarette tobacco. I have 14 of the bundle of 20 left and won't smoke another one. | | Brick House Mighty Mighty Maduro | | tfkirk | 5/20/2018 2:47 PM | Brick House Mighty Mighty Maduro
Nice deep brownish colored and veined wrapper. The band is basic Brick House plain top wrapper followed with a second band with just Maduro written on it. Cold draw was earthy, woodsy and spice. 1st third had peppery profile with some coffee notes the retro-hale was spicy but not a hot pepper, lots of blueish smoke and a great holding ash that was a nice grayish white color. 2nd third still spicy pepper with more coffee, earthy, and woody profiles coming into the mix. Dead on burn still a solid ash with the retro-hale still peppery and again not overly pepper but a spicy pepper. Final 3rd ash is a strong I have to literately knock it off, flavors are holding the same as the 2nd third with a little more coffee, chocolate and spice flavor profiles coming through. Still a cool draw for such a big ring. The libations was 4 cups of coffee I'm not really a big ring type of smoker. I felt like the strength was medium to medium full I really thought it would be a full strength cigar due to the dark coffee color of the wrapper. I guess you don't judge a book by it's color theory. I would defiantly smoke this cigar again even though I'm not a 60 gauge type of smoker. | | Oliva/ Studio Tabac Serie O Toro |  | gitfiddl | 5/19/2018 6:55 PM | | I picked this up in a sampler a few months ago. It was a nice hearty smoke, with tastes of wood, some coffee and some pepper. The draw was perfect, and I'd probably given this cigar 4 stars, if it weren't for an annoying wobble in the burn line. | | RoMa Craft Tobac Intemperance BA XXI The Intrigue |  | DonM | 5/19/2018 6:15 PM | 1st that I have tried this one. What a great petit corona!
Excellent construction, perfect draw, straight burn.
The flavors started with a bit of pepper then onto some cocoa and coffee flavors. Medium to medium full flavored, this cigar is packed with flavor until there is nothing left. Box worthy, coming soon to my humidor | | Soledad Churchill |  | nathanw13 | 5/18/2018 10:08 PM | Had my first real disappointment here.
The beautiful dark wrapper smelled lightly sweet, with a hint of coffee.
The unlit pull was very weak, but I got a little of that coffee from it.
It lit up fairly well, and the first third was full of everything that the smell promised. It was creamy, had nice notes of coffee with a bit of hazelnut, and was relaxing in front of a fire. It burned a little uneven and it had a tight draw; the draw i fixed with a clean nail.
Then everything changed when the second third got going. Or rather didn't. The whole thing fell flat. It was like pulling burnt air. I purged it to no avail. I carried on with hopes that the flavor would return. But alas.
I got down to the last third with no sign of any flavor, and I ended it. I'll save the wrapper if I have another dark cigar develop a crack that needs repair. At least I only paid a buck for it. | | Padron 1964 Anniversary Principe | | Silverstix | 5/18/2018 8:32 PM | I like the Principe better than the other vitolas for some reason. A nice 45 minutes of quality smoking. This one was in my humidor for 7 months, and it performed beautifully.
Draw just a touch on the open side, burn perfect, and those rich Nicaraguan flavors coming through in spades. Bit of a kick of pepper at the start that you can feel in the back of your throat, a nice amount of heat that soon turns to classic Nicaragua cocoa. The spice is ever present but never overpowering. This is a great blend that a novice or a veteran can appreciate. For $8ish it’s a real good value for a high quality premium cigar. | | Punch (Core Line) After Dinner | | nathanw13 | 5/17/2018 10:05 PM | Enjoyed this with Rum over ice.
Light leathery notes on the unlit pull, slightly sweet wrapper.
First few draws came in really strong with the earthy notes. This gave way to a rich nutty/earthy mix, with what I'd call a 'sweet oats' flavor in the mix.
Late half/third developed a little spice, some cocoa, and some of that leather came back.
Overall good smoke - had to relight once about halfway through. A quick purge netted no loss in flavor. Would smoke again.

Smoke Output - 2/2 | | A.J. Fernandez New World (Nicaraguan wrapper) Gobernador | | tfkirk | 5/16/2018 7:57 PM | Great looking dark boxed pressed toro. Band is a grayish white with a red trim, looks like some kind of explorers possibly Columbus because or the ships (eyes aren't what they used to be) also a red ribbon with with a script AF on the foot. Pre. light easy draw and an earthy flavor. 1st third spot on burn, flavors of earth, nuts and some chocolate. 2nd third the burn is a little off nothing to correct at this point, flavors are earthy, nuts,and pepper on the retro hale. Final 3rd. burn corrected itself more spice but still nutty, earthy with some coffee notes coming through. Final thought a really enjoyable cigar, I would definitely recommend this cigar.
Strength was Medium Full to Full, I do really enjoy A.J. Fernandez Cigars. |
