Good call. I need to do some more research on these and try to get a sense of the blends. From what I've seen, almost every leaf of the cigar is "undisclosed" which makes it a bit tricky to order blind. Maybe the Byron 1850 No 1 (8 x 54) would make a good July 4th stick! 😅

Thank you. This is exactly the kind of recommendations I was keeping my fingers crossed for. I love the sound of the blend on the El Titan de Bronze -- right up my alley and added to cart. I've heard only wonderful things about the Viaje as well and will sleuth around for a single. The...

Hi All, I work kind of a weird job -- 10 months of mayhem and crazy hours in the office, and then two months of minimal work that can all be completed from home in the evenings. Unsurprisingly, I very much look forward to this two month hiatus and it keeps me going for the 10 month marathon...

Thanks for this review. I've been wondering what these cigars were all about. Like you, I don't usually have a great time with Conn Shade. Looking forward to hearing about the Habano.

I've had really good luck with the Vertigo Hawk. Lights every time, easy flame adjustment, holds a bunch of butane, and relatively pocket friendly.

Sorry to hear about this. I assume that some (if not all) of the cigars you ordered were Cubans and the waters are ripe with scammers for anyone looking for a quality Cuban cigar. Even those of us with good sense can be easily scammed. I've been on the hunt lately and this may be enough of a...

Went to my local b&m in search of a celebration cigar for MLB opening day that would last me at least most of the ballgame. This fit the bill but dented my wallet. No regrets after smoking it though. A really good cigar! Padron PB97 Natural

Ashton Aged Maduro this evening. A smoke that was once a classic and is now criminally underrated IMO -- especially if you enjoy a bit of Dominican funk.

I love those little Papas Fritas!

If you polled every cardiologist in America, you would get answers all across the board. It would be the same if you asked about drinking cola, eating fast food, alcohol consumption, etc. All of these activities are not particularly healthy for the heart muscle. How unhealthy they really are is...

Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Habano. Not necessarily touted as a super heavy blend but this cigar was recommended to me at a cigar shop as a nice "medium" option when I got back into smoking. It was not medium bodied. I actually quite liked the cigar but smoked it before bed and was hopped up on nicotine...

Thanks, guys! I'm really glad to have found this community. Wishing you all well.

The cigar piggy bank is empty.

Fun little smoke.

Sounds like you enjoy a Cameroon wrapper. Any thought to giving the Don Carlos a try?

The cigars arrived today in perfect condition and included a thank you note from Mr. Fuente. I'd say the Destino al Siglos are about a shade darker than the OG Opus X double corona on the left, but they do not appear as dark as the Oro Oscuro. I'm going to give them some time to settle into my...

Pretty cool experience today as Mr. Arturo Fuente Jr. personally called me to answer my question about the cigars. I actually missed him while I was in a meeting at work and when I called back he took the time to step out of his meeting to have a discussion with me. Not only did Mr. Fuente...

Nothing wrong with options!

After taking a look at the photos you sent, I found a review Destino al Siglo Shark release from a few years ago that has very similar branding to the sampler cigars. The article suggests that these are a Rosado version of the Oro Oscuro -- similar to the photo. It seems I may never find a...

I agree, Vivino is a pretty good source. If you don't mind spending some money and want a very dry red, Brunello de Montalcino Reserva is typically a good direction to look. It's drier and earthier than Cabernet Sauvignon. Poggio Landi Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva is one I've had a good...
