Rocky Patel R4 Torpedo Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) As a big fan of Rocky Patel, I was really looking forward to sampling it’s R4 Corojo creation. Now, I normally tend to associate Patel sticks with robust, dark and full cigars that are generally on the stronger side. The Rocky...

Padilla Miami Torpedo Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) A relatively new comer to the cigar scene, the Padilla brand has already received accolades from well known cigar magazines and discussion groups. I recently enjoyed the Padilla Miami Torpedo and was impressed by what seems to be...

GrayCliff Vintage 1999 Robusto Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) I admit to knowing relatively little about the GrayCliff line of cigars, since, as you could imagine, they are rather rare in Europe. After getting acquainted with the cigars in the last few months, I can heartily...

Cusano Corojo '97 Torpedo Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) The Cusano Corojo '97 Torpedo has earned great marks from prestigious publications like Cigar Aficionado and others. It's also touted as "Dark and Spicy" on the manufacturer website. Since I have also heard them described as...

Camacho SLR Maduro Rothschild Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) I reached into the humidor this week and a relatively new addition came out, a Camacho SLR Maduro Rothschild. You may have noticed that Camacho has launched a new and zippier ad campaign in an effort to create a new...

Trinidad Reyes (Cuba) Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) With the exception of the Robusto Extra, which I found much too bland, monochromatic and linear, I have always enjoyed a good Trinidad. They are pricey, but here, in my opinion, you pay for something very special and very hard to...

Punch Punch (Cuba) Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) This week I moved on to a full-bodied cigar that has graced my humidor from the early days of my endless cigar search. I don’t always feel like smoking a power house, but when I do, the Cuban Punch Punch is a popular choice. I...

H. Upmann Magnum 46 (Cuba) (Photos) Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews Who can deny that the general quality of Cuban cigars has steadily declined over the years? At the same time, the American market driven non-Cuban brands have done the exact opposite. I maintain that it is entirely possible...

Romeo Y Julieta No. 2 (Cuba) Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) Going around from tobacco shop to tobacco shop, during my vacation in southern Spain, I finally managed, on the last day of our trip, to find an offering of Cuban leaf in down town Sevilla. Interestingly, they only had...

Zino Platinum Scepter Chubby Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) Every now and gain I’ll smoke a renowned and relatively expensive cigar and come away thinking that the stick is an absolute rip-off. One such disappointment, to the surprise of many of the readers of this blog, was the...

Cumpay Piramide Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) Happy New Year everyone! a belated one at that… well, you can't live in Spain and not make good use of the holidays by traveling around. I went way South to the Mediterranean coast, stopped over in Cadiz on the way back—picking up some...

Don Diego Aniversario No. 3 Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) Though I am definitely a full-bodied cigar kind of guy, I’ve always felt there is a time and a place for a milder cigar. Usually when it’s late at night, when in a crowded restaurant or just when I feel like having a cigar...

Rocky Patel Sun Grown Robusto Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) There is something about a Cuban cigar's wrapper that I find very distinct and appealing. They are generally buttery and come packed with a generous dose of chilli pepper that can be sensed from the moment the cigar is...

Cuba Aliados Robusto Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) I was getting ready for Monday night football and decided I would allow the rough looking Aliados Robusto that had been stabilizing in my humidor for about five weeks to keep me company during the game. I had read in several...

La Flor Dominicana El Jocko No.2 Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos) I had been wanting to review La Flor Dominicana El Jocko Number 2 for a while now, but had been hindered by the fact that the only way I can get them is by online order. I rarely buy cigars online and hate to wait so...
