Villiger San’Doro Claro Review
Sporting a gorgeous Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, this cigar appears near perfect. The seams are difficult to see and the cap blends nicely with the light brown, caramel-colored wrapper. Scents from the wrapper are dry hay and sweet tobacco. From the foot I smell dry hay, wood scents and a little tingle of pepper.

Alpha Cigar Absinthe Infused Connecticut Review
I toast the foot and get the heat rolling on this cigar with peaked expectations following the cold draw. The initial smoke is cool on the palate. Earthy notes, pine, and anise are most evident. The flavors linger nicely, not finishing too quickly.

Talamanca Machista Review
Visually, this is a beautiful cigar. Light brown in color, the wrapper was free of large veins with virtually invisible seams. Scents of cedar and hay emanated from the wrapper while the foot gave off notes of raisin, spice and cedar. After a perfect punch, draw was easy and tasted of vanilla, hay and mild cedar.

Vintage: LFD 2000 Series No 4

Fuente Opus X Oscuro Oro Review
Unwrapping this cigar, I’m trying not to get my hopes up about this experience. An interesting concoction of brown sugar, raisin, curry, and chili powder is presented on the foot. The wrapper is mottled, rustic, and features the infamous Fuente glue. A cold draw is intoxicatingly sweet with just a tingle of spice pinging the tongue.

Tatuaje Skinny Monsters: Tiff
The hay from the pre-light inspection comes on strong right away, joined by creamy sweetness on the draw with light black pepper on the finish. The pepper quickly makes its way up front, delivering small amounts of pepper throughout the draw and finish. The finish has been dry on several of the Skinny Monsters; it’s particularly dry on the Tiff.

Crowned Heads The Angel’s Anvil 2016
At approximately half an inch in, the Angel’s Anvil 2016 opens up and begins firing on all cylinders. Sweet notes of honey, chocolate, and floral components are tempered with an earthy base and a peppery finish that lingers between puffs. Our previously effervescent quality is replaced by a creamy, rich smoke.

Suriel Day and Night
First puff? A marriage of leather, cream, subtle hints of tangy earth, and an interesting citrus zing on the tip of the tongue. Very faint spice is present in the mouthfeel. Within moments, creamy leather with undertones of orange ride to the top of the profile. Silky smooth smoke, excellent burn line, and engaging flavors are my first few impressions of this stick.

Serino Royale Connecticut Review
This was my first cigar of the day and I paired it with a black coffee with some floral notes, not an overpowering coffee considering I am reviewing a Connecticut cigar. The wrapper offered me the scent of sweet hay and the cold draw offered a mild, dry hay flavor and the draw was very easy. Cant wait to torch this!

Cornelius by Cornelius and Anthony Review
Around the one inch mark this cigar begins to pop. Honey, cocoa powder, and nougat throw their weight into the ring in earnest, playing against the pepper and paprika tag team beautifully. Graham cracker and cream soften the sharper notes, making this cigar every bit as amazing as I remembered it. There’s just so much win here for Cornelius and Anthony.

Serino Royale Maduro XX Sublime Review (Prerelease)
Within just a few minutes, honey notes begin to rise to the top in a phenomenal display of sophistication. Mild spice tickles the back of the tongue and throat, but it’s something you have to look for. This cigar starts off very smooth, allowing you to really grasp hold of all the flavors without shying away from it. A retro hale emphasizes that book leather from the cold draw, as well as a convenient store style chocolate chip cookie flavor that I just can’t get enough of.

Tatuaje Skinny Monsters: Hyde
The Skinny Hyde comes out of the gate with toasted almonds, pepper, hay, breadiness, a hint of earth, and a bit of lemon citrus. The lemon comes across in the mouth and is accentuated by the retrohale. Cedar flavor joins in, and it gets creamier after about an inch.
read more
Tatuaje Skinny Monsters: Jekyll
The Skinny Jekyll starts out with hay and cream notes. There’s a bit of spice on the end, but it’s nothing like the peppery start I’ve gotten from the other Skinny Monsters. It’s a much lighter start than I remember from the full-size Jekyll as well. There’s a sweet tobacco flavor, some light toasted almond, a lot of creaminess, and light cedar notes. The creamy notes are sweet, reminding me of cream soda.

Tatuaje Skinny Monsters: Jason
Most of the Skinny Monsters have started with pepper blasts but the Jason was much milder at the beginning. There was black pepper, but it wasn’t the big blast I was expecting. Cocoa started weak and built through the first third along with a little bit of hay. Chocolate and cocoa came to dominate this third.

Mombacho Tierra Volcan Nicaragua Corto Review
My first impressions are of combination rough leather and fake handbag leather with a pinch of cocoa powder. Spice, absent from the first draw, crashes the party several moments later. Copious amounts of black pepper clear out my sinuses in a matter of minutes. Let’s do this thang.

Tatuaje Skinny Monsters: Frank

1502 XO Review
The pre-light aroma from the foot brings me back to Christmas morning years ago. I used to always get my Dad a box of Cherry Cordials (lame, I know) and the foot of 1502 XO is just like Cherry Cordials. The pregnant Domestic Engineer agrees and her nose is usually more accurate than mine. A cold draw is even more fascinating, imparting notes of the same cherry cordial but this time it’s alcohol infused.

Felix Assouline Ringo Bullet Review
Our CigarNoise crew had the opportunity to video chat with D’artagnan of Felix Assouline a few weeks ago. What I took away from it was lots of knowledge as well as an appreciation for what they do. Most of their cigars are box pressed because Felix prefers a box pressed vitola. Genius. Most of their current stock was rolled almost five years ago. Awesome. And lastly, the boxes on these cigars come are specifically designed to maintain a seal and be used as humidors. Excellent.

Foundation El Gueguense Corona Gorda Review
I’ve smoked this cigar a few times now, and I’ve been hesitant to review it.

Subsequent experiences with El Gueguense (The Wiseman) I found to be somewhat disappointing.

Caldwell Long Live the King Harem (pre-release) Review

Ezra Zion Makin Bacon Toro Review
When I saw the release in their Ezra Zion app, I was fairly hesitant. Oak, as suggested in their description, isn’t my favorite cigar flavor and toro isn’t my favorite size.

Black Works Studio Green Hornet Review
Last year, Black Works Studio released the Killer Bee. We had the pleasure of smoking one at Oveja Negra while in Esteli, and to date it remains what I’d consider an excellent entry level cigar into Black Label Trading Company. Whereas the Killer Bee uses Ecuadorian Habano accents in the cap, the Green Hornet variation uses candela accents as well as a candela closed foot. The cigar also seems to be roughly half an inch longer than the original Killer Bee.

Sons of Freedom Maduro Torpedo CDM Exclusive Review
Right out of the gate the Sons of Freedom hits me with a right hook of flavor: black pepper, dark chocolate, and a very rich black coffee that just covers my palate. Not even 3 draws in and the coffee flavor is taking over. It really is nice, though it reminds of the coffee my grandma would drink.

E.P. Carrillo Generosos Toro Review
Upon first inspection the cigar has a rather rustic look to it. The cigar has some noticeable veins on it and has a distinct texture to it.

Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark Review
Let’s begin with a little preface. I first burned this cigar two nights before Thanksgiving, and instantly fell in love with it. I remember the foot smelling of chocolate covered fruit, and the first third smoking much like that as well. Of course, I brought one home and expected to do the review today of an Eye of the Shark that had a few weeks rest.
Fast forward to yesterday – a friend located and shipped my 5 Eye of the Shark’s. Or, Eyes of the Shark. I opened these up and was immediately assaulted with bananas, banana bread, and the slightest hint of milk chocolate.

Edolara El Compartir Torpedo Review
A few weeks ago, we were chatting with Eduardo De Lara in the Virtual Lounge about his upcoming release of El Compartir under Edolara Cigars. As a member of the CigarNoise app (Edolara) and Instagram (@edolaracigars), we’ve been following his journey since mid September. El Compartir means ‘to share’. Accordingly, each box of El Compartir will be sold at the price of 12 cigars yet include a 13th. To share. And, although I’m not sure he’s finalized the pricing of these bad boys yet, what I remember was an unbelievable price point.

Cubanacan Hirochi Robaina 1845 Sublime Review.
I have to say this is a beautiful looking cigar. The wrapper is one of the best that I have ever seen, its nearly seamless, with only one large vein, and no mottling. The pictures I have taken really do not do this justice. There is a lot of tooth but its very well spaced apart and is individually quite large. The cap is very tidy and the closed foot is extremely well done.

Warped La Colmena Reina
Pre-light: The wrapper has a few splotches on it, and seems to be have been applied poorly in a couple places. No biggie though, as I’m reminded almost daily – these are handmade cigars. Shit happens. The wrapper is giving off an incredible aroma though! The Domestic Engineer says it reminds her of chocolate and cedar. I’m getting more marshmallow sweetness with white chocolate and the tiniest bit of cedar.

Although I have mixed feelings for Ashton’s San Cristobal line, I’ve only heard great things regarding the Ovation.

Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Review
This is one of those cigars that, upon first glance, sends mixed signals. Do I smoke it, or tuck it away in a vault somewhere? To quote lccj from the CigarNoise app, do I ash it or stash it? The Johnny Tobacconaut screams quality while promising a couple plot twists – and yet only 3,500 boxes were produced.

Padron Damaso Review
First impressions? This cigar is light in your hands – dainty, delicate, fragile, you get the picture. Not really uncommon to Padron cigars in general. The wrapper exudes a vegetable and hay aroma, with just a touch of sweet tobacco. The foot produces much of the same, with a roasted coffee sensation. The Domestic Engineer says it smells like, “…a barnyard animal. Like, if you were to go pet a sheep or something. Like wet sheep. Hay?”

Warped Don Reynaldo Review

Lost and Found Butter Review
First impressions? Opening the package of butter is way more fun that it looks. And it looks about as fun as finding a $100 bill you forgot you left in your pocket. The aroma is fairly interesting coming from the packaging as well as the wrapper and foot of the cigar itself. Up front, it’s very sweet. Smell it a couple more times and it reminds me of a puppy. Good stuff!

Warped Corto Review

Roundup: Damaso, Corto, Ogre, Don Carlos, Rothchildes
Here’s the conundrum: I’ve smoked a LOT of new cigars this week and didn’t have time to properly review all of them. Most of them. To compensate, I’d like to do a quick roundup each week of my thoughts on cigars that didn’t get the attention they deserve, but are notable nonetheless.

La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse
Normally I wouldn’t post this review, and I’d wait until I smoked another since my thoughts don’t align with several of my friends that I trust. But you know what? First impressions are important, and in today’s cigar lineup the average consumer doesn’t decide to smoke several of the same cigar before they form an opinion. Sorry Ashton, this one just doesn’t do it for me like the VSG.

Diesel Rage Review
Overall I’d say that the Diesel Rage starts and finishes really well, while everything in between is like a rollercoaster. Sometimes it’s greatly satisfying, other times it’s too bitter for my tastes. An argument could be made that it should be smoked slower to combat the heat, but it never got too hot. And at just over an hour and a half to experience it, I’d say it was a decent pace for this review.

Liga Privada T52 Review
Now that the first inch is officially ashed, the full-bodied Liga Privada T52 experience is converting nicely to a medium body cigar. Well, medium in the mouth yet full when blown through the nose. The coffee is back, regardless of drink, and it’s really reminding me of my favorite drink from the Sirens: Grande Iced Coffee with breve. Or, coffee with Half n Half over ice.

Enjoyed it with Friday and Clinton, and when you + 2 can’t come to a conclusion on how to describe it, you know it’s a cigar you need to take home and burn a couple more times.

Padron 1964 Review
This Padron 1964 has a few things going for it, namely draw and smoke. Normally I would think Padron is synonymous with perfect construction, but you can see the wrapper deficiencies. Lots of smoke and an incredibly easy draw are a plus though.

Don Chacho
A couple weeks ago I received a package with two Don Chacho stogies from Jose Santos, creator and owner. You can find him @Js.PremiumCigars on Instagram or hit him up here in the Cigar Noise community. Ever sense, I’ve been itching to pull them out of their rest period early and go to town! I resisted, much to my surprise, and now am ready to throw down!

Fuego Heat
So far I’m enjoying the hell out of this Fuego Heat. So much so that I’m willing to say Fuego Heat some more even though I’m baffled as to why J. Fuego would name something Fire Hot. Oh well, you make a cigar this damn good and you call it whatever you want!

CroMagnon Mode 5
Last week, I began my experience at Governor’s Cigar & Pipe the same way I do just about every time. I step into the humidor, take a deep breath, and then drool a little bit. Not overly much, but just the right amount of worship and inaptitude at being able to pick out just one of so many great smokes.

Camacho American Barrel Aged
Initially I thought it might be a little sweeter from the bourbon aging, but this Camacho American Barrel Aged is all about power! Like a muscle car, or a Rocky movie, or a Face Punch from Tyson!

Black Pearl Rojo
Today I’m reviewing the Black Pearl Rojo from La Perla Habana – a cigar that I’ve probably smoked 7-10 boxes of over the years. It’s consistently been a go-to smoke for along with some Nica Libre sticks, handy to give out or burn when you have a few minutes and just want something with a smooth draw and even burn.

CroMagnon Fomorian
The Domestic Engineer just joined me on the porch and she said this stogie smells different. Not good or bad, because according to her Cigar smoking isn’t an honored past time, but she can tell the CroMagnon Fomorian is unique. Whatever that’s worth to ya. 😉

Montecristo Espada
Here’s how I got saddled with this one: I walked into the humidor at my favorite Cigar lounge, and asked my favorite Bearded Ninja for something medium, complex, woodsy, and overall a badass follow-up. Said Bearded Ninja pointed directly to the Montecristo Espada, and it was game on.

Perdomo Sungrown
Definitely getting more and more spice as this Perdomo Sungrown keeps burning. I’m going to run the risk of sounding like one of those fancy schmancy cigar snobs by saying this is peppery. There, I said it.

HC Series Red
Lots of smoke, better draw, distinct corojo taste. HC Series Red is exactly what I wanted this Sunday morning.

Punch Signature
So far the Punch Signature is something that I would order again, especially if the next one is similar to this one. It’s got the right amount of sophisitication for my young (re: amateur) palate, as well as the desired strength and construction.

Cohiba Nicaragua
I wouldn’t say earth or dirt or something stupid because I’ve never tasted those, but definitely something earthy. That’s the Cohiba Nicaragua.

Ave Maria Divinia
Kind of reminds me of a milder, softer, gentler yet ridiculously smooth and flavorful cigar. Kind of like a cuban, or so my friends that don’t respect the embargo tell me. 😉

Perdomo Lot 23
This Lot 23 had a sweet taste pre-light, and had a generally awesome and mature taste when blown through the noise. The ash held pretty well, the burn was nice and even, and the point where I wanted to put it away was about 70% through the stick.
