Today I walked into my local cigar shop looking to make another fine cigar purchase. In the past I had walked past the Don Lino Africa each time the very beautiful glossy box caught my eye. Today it caught my eye enough, and I bought one of the Kiboko's. At first glance it was nice and oily, and shined in the light of the store. Unfortunately that was the best part of … Continue reading the story "Don Lino Africa Kiboko Review"
Liga Privada #9 Drew Estate Review
Length/Ring: 6 X 52
Shape: Toro
Wrapper: Broadlfeaf Ligero
Strength: Full
M.S.R.P: $11.00/Stick
My Rating: 4.50 Stars
This is one cigar that has been a long time coming. Drew Estate, the maker of such brands as Acid and Natural wanted to express his "real" cigar blending skills and crafted this beauty. I have had the privilege of being a tester for Steve Saka of Drew Estate who sent me 2 of these sticks.
On first glance you can tell the tobacco used was top notch. The cigar has a dark oily sheen and no visable large veins in the wrapper. Rolling it between … Continue reading the story "Liga Privada #9 Drew Estate Review"

I was lucky enough to be chosen by Christian Eiroa and crew to sample the brand new wonder that is the 10th Anniversary Camacho Corojo. I was excited when i saw the box sitting on the counter when i got home, the wife with her usual stare of "What did you buy this time?" I had to explain to her my status in the cigar community and how my taste buds were to about to be exploded upon by the wonder that … Continue reading the story "Camacho 10th Anniversary Robusto Cigar Review"

Shape: Robusto
Wrapper: Cuba
Strength: Full
M.S.R.P: $7.50/Stick OverSeas
My Rating: 4 Stars
I haven't smoked too many cuban cigars being that they are the "forbidden fruit" and all. This is one cigar that i am glad that i tried. It had a great razor even burn and produced thick clouds of smoke. The initial flavors were of leather and pepper. Just a hint of spice was noticeable, which was ok even though i like more spice than that. The cigar did draw kinda tight at first but loosened up upon smoking. The wrapper did … Continue reading the story "Cuban – Vegas Robania Famoso ’06 Review"

I know i haven't posted a cigar review in awhile but you can blame that on all the work i have doing on the Shop. The shop is now fully functional and carries a great selection of humidors, cutters, hygros, etc.
A few months back i had reviewed the RP Edge Maduro but since the Corojo and Maduro have such different flavor profiles i figured I would write a review for the Corojo as well. This cigar is blended with all ligero long fillers … Continue reading the story "Rocky Patel The Edge Corojo Torpedo Review"

This is a big cigar and I had no idea what to expect from it. This cigar is in the family of tobacco's blended by Felipe Gregorio. I had heard about this blender but never tried any of his stuff until now.
First off, this is not an expensive cigar. It can be had on cbid for around $2-$3 per stick. So at that price it was worth a go. Initial look over was very promising, this is … Continue reading the story "Petrus Reposado #7000 Review"
La Aroma de Cuba Monarch – Quick Review

Length/Ring: 6 x 50
Shape: Toro
Wrapper: Dark Natural
Strength: Full
M.S.R.P: $4.00/Stick
My Rating: 4 Stars
This is a great cigar made by Ashton. The dark, oily, Cuban-seed Honduran wrapper that holds in a full-flavored blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers are really pleasing to the palate. Upon the first glance of this cigar the band is beautiful and makes it look like Ashton pulled out all the stops. While this is not a VSG it smokes really well and has a great aroma. I tasted flavors of nuts with a slight butter backend. … Continue reading the story "La Aroma de Cuba Monarch – Quick Review"

Today we have the Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro Robusto for review. The cigar looks good and has a nice dark sheen maduro wrapper, it seems to be oozing with oils as well. There are a couple of big veins sticking out on the wrapper though, i was really hoping they didn't interfere with the burn. The pre light was nice and of toasty earth. I have smoked a few of these before but forgot what i was in store for.

Oliveros El Padrino Bugsy – Quick Review
Country: Dominican/Italy/Brazil
Length/Ring: 5.70 x 52
This cigar is a very dark Italian tobacco stick from Oliveros. I really had high hopes for this cigar, it looks great and the bands is one of the most beautiful bands i have seen. Unfortunatley i was not impressed with this smoke. The burn was bad, it had a flat one dimensional taste and just flat out didn't impress. I cannot recommend this cigar.

We here at IntheHumidor.com are going to start a new series of reviews called the Quick Reviews. In order to not get so technical and get to the point on whether or not we liked a certain cigar.
Today I have the Oliveros 1927 Toro. This cigar was nice when i pulled it out of the wrapper. The light up was great it had ample amounts of smoke and had a sweetness flavor to it. This really was a good cigar for the money. … Continue reading the story "Oliveros 1927 Toro – Quick Reviews"

This is a great cigar that i had heard so much about that i had to try them and give them a review. They are made by Jose Blano in the famous La Aurora Factory.

I had read numerous reviews for this cigar that stated all of the fine qualities that it posses and they were right.
On the initial light up i toasted the foot and surveyed the wrapper. … Continue reading the story "Pueblo Dominicano Series II Belicoso #3 Review"
