Cohiba is the pinnacle of Cuban cigars. Almost everyone you talk to about Cuban cigars will mention Cohiba as the brand they know. They’ve always stood for high quality and excellent smokes, usually with a full-bodied appeal. The Cohiba brand was a one-trick pony for a long time but in the not so distant past [...]
It seems that lately I’m seeing La Aurora and Miami Cigars all over the place. There’s been quite a few top quality releases from them and I’ve been eagerly chasing them all down. They are making a big splash in the online community, especially with Twitter and their recent release of the La Aurora 107 [...]
Anyone who reads this blog knows of my love for Drew Estate’s Liga Privada lines. When word started getting out that there was an unreleased blend out there, I was all over it, and lucky for me our good friend Jonathan Drew and Drew Estate were kind enough to shoot a few of these unreleased sticks [...]
This cigar came to me as part of a sampler pack at a recent herf. I’ve had a few Gran Habano cigars before but never reviewed one. Overall I’ve had good experiences with them. Gran Habano is made by the very experienced hands of Guillermo Rico, a third-generation premium cigar maker who’s leafs have touched [...]

After moving to Nicaragua, AJ began making his own line of cigars as well as blending for other companies. Some [...]
This is the first video review up on Casas Fumando! The cigar of choice to delve into the video world was a Jameson Cigars Declaration Iniquity. In the video I talk about the company, the pairings, the cigar, and of course my opinion. It is my first video review so be patient, I’ll improve them [...]
The final of 5 Garo Habano reviews has arrived, and we’re finishing it off with the Churchill sized Los Lectores. The Garo Habano website claims this cigar to be their throwback to the times of Cuban cigars with complexity and strength. The Ligero filler promises to make this cigar a spicy one and likely full [...]
Another notch in the Garo Habano belt today with the Maduro. You can read more about Garo Habano on their website (www.garohabano.com) and also take a look at the other reviews of this line on the site. The Maduro line comes in 4 Vitolas all in the 50+ Ring Gauge range and are all named [...]
My next Garo Habano up for review is the Centum. Out of all the samples we received this one was the most visually appealing to me because of the wonderful color on the wrapper and the antique looking band. The way the text is written sort of reminded me of an old carnival type of [...]
In today’s review we take a look at Garo Habano Fine Cigar’s second sample that was sent to us, the Aniversario X. The website (www.garohabano.com) doesn’t talk much about the reasoning behind the name but it’s probably safe to assume that it was released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Garo Habano which has been [...]
