CI Legends Pepin Garcia Yellow Label (5.7 x 54). Smacks you in the face right away with a full fist of pepper. Settled down after an inch or so and got into the medium range with a lot more flavors. Developed a bit of a run around halfway. Eventually more or less corrected itself toward the last...

Perhaps instead of a whole forum that gets updated on each release, just a thread where people can post new cigar related resources to check out. I think anyone who listens to podcasts regularly is going to have some kind of feed (RSS, itunes, whatever) and is going to get updated on each new...

Yesterday's Oliva Serie G got me craving something from a box I have sitting in the humidor. Oliva Serie V Torpedo 2008 Maduro Especial. 6.5 x 52. This is a great cigar. Great looking and spot-on construction. I like the size, myself. Has anyone tried the ones from 2009 yet? As for this one, it...

Oliva Serie G 4.5 x 50 Robusto. Nice, rich African-Cameroon wrapper. Can't really go wrong with these. Really smooth, perfect draw and burn. And really hard to beat for the price. While I (like many others) prefer the Serie V, this is definitely a go-to smoke for me. It's well-liked here as...

Graycliff 1666 Presidente. Nice looking, dark maduro wrapper. The wrapper is from Jaltepec, Costa Rica and does add just a bit of extra sweetness that was easy to taste, but wasn't at all overpowering. Right in the middle, medium. This cigar seems to take quite a beating online, but that seems...

Puros Indios Special Maduro. Wasn't expecting much from these when I picked up a bundle, but they surprised me. Construction is really solid. Nice flavor, solid medium, nothing complex though and it doesn't change too much throughout the burn. I didn't measure them, but they look like 6x60, so...

My suggestion would be to get a sampler box from the online retailer of your choice. You can let each person pick what they want from the box and it helps to start the conversation about the cigars. i.e. "What interested you about that one?" Especially if you have a couple of family or friends...

Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro double corona. Couldn't find an actual review in the review forum, but it's a clear favorite. I definitely enjoyed it tonight, in spite of a couple of problems. The draw right up front was really tight. Thought it might be plugged, but it loosened up fine after a...

Padilla Signature 1932 Robusto. I enjoyed it and I thought the flavor was good. Enjoyed the last third best. This one got a pretty meh reaction on an earlier thread, but I think it's something I'll go back to. More pictures...

5 Vegas Miami. Haven't had one of these before. Picked up a deal on a 5 Vegas sample box. This one started really spicy. Mellowing out in the middle. Definitely an in-your-face flavor. Not burning really even, but not so bad it's causing a problem. And now it looks like it's evening up around...

Got some stuff in from cbid. Trying to try out lots of different things to see if I can find some new things that I like. I haven't had the Excalibur 1066 Black Knight before and I'm burning through one of those right now. I'm enjoying it. A lot more flavor than I expected. Not A Nice Person...

Ah, nice. My wife's from Bogota. I haven't been to Medellin. Though I mentioned once to my wife that I heard that the hottest women came from there, so I'm pretty sure she's been avoiding vacations there. Ha! We go to Categena every couple years though. I really enjoy the fishing out there...

In the north area. This B&M was on Calle 13, but there are some other good shops around. I have an apartment in the south area (near Kennedy) and there's definitely nothing there. I haven't found anything good in the center area (near Bolivar) either. What part of Colombia have you been in...

Hey all, I was down in Bogota over Christmas break and one of my favorite B&Ms and picked up some Puyanas. Since I'm a Monte fan and they have those on the shelf, I normally wouldn't grab anything anything else, but I thought what the hell, I'd give it a go. Flavor wasn't too bad, but it was a...
