Diesel Uncut

5/26/2015 Andrew All Summer Long Expert Pick

If you read through more than three issues of our catalog you know I have a rather large affinity for anything AJ Fernandez makes. One of his newest releases the Diesel uncut is one of my newest everyday smokes but they do pack a punch so I tend to leave these for my last smoke of the evening. As the name might infer the uncut has an unfinished foot resembling something like a turtle neck …

Savory Sumatrans

4/13/2015 Andrew Savory Sumatrans Expert Pick

The Cardinal series runs a bit of the stronger side yet the smoke is rather smooth. Even though this blend is light on spice the power is still there, so don’t let it fool you.

Oliva Serie 'V'

5/27/2014 Andrew Father & Son Duos Expert Pick

Why He Likes It: This Oliva blend is the apex of strength and beauty.

Gurkha Warpig

3/3/2014 Andrew Full-Bodied Fanatics Expert Pick

With a name like Warpig, I expected huge flavor right out of the gate. Instead, Warpig sneaks up on you with a slow, deceptive build. Smooth notes of a dark espresso hit you up front while more potent notes of black pepper, oak, and hints of cocoa are apparent through the finish. Truly a well-balanced blend, I like to battle this pig with a nice red wine as a complement.…

5 Vegas Series 'A'

8/26/2013 Andrew Mouthwatering Maduros

601 La Bomba

4/19/2013 Andrew New, New, New

601 La Bomba is the newest addition to the 601 line. Produced by Don Pepín García, this stogie is quite literally “the bomb.” Lots of ligero produces strong spice with a good measure of cedar along with some muddy espresso notes.

Man O' War Cigars Ruination

3/18/2013 Andrew Favorable Figurados

Ruination Belicoso is my all-time favorite cigar. I always have a mass of these in my humidor.

Try it yourself but be warned, you might fall in love with it as well. …

Drew Estate Natural

1/7/2013 Andrew Infused Cigars

Calling this cigar "Dirt" is more akin to calling a blonde bombshell "homely." She's dark but still light on her feet and incredible sweet; she's the kind of gal you can smoke in front of your mother as she'll like the aroma. Heavy with coffee and just a hint of earth make Dirt perfect for dessert. Instead of some decaf as a night cap, try Dirt instead. …

Ramon Bueso Genesis The Project

10/8/2012 Andrew Rich Robustos

The best new cigar of 2012. A Connecticut-grown Oscuro wrapper, Jamasatran binder, with masterfully chosen Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers melt perfectly together. Rich in oak and heavy enough on the bittersweet espresso notes that it's chewy with a good measure of spice to hold up to anything with which you'd pair it. …

5 Vegas Gold

2/27/2012 Andrew Mellow Monsters

A great new size! The fat 60-ring lends a subtle yet discernable and smooth, almost creamy characteristic.

1/9/2012 Andrew Cuban-Esque Coronas

Who said bigger is better? I'll tell ya what, this is where it's at, people. Diesel corona: just like its big brother but pint sized. Offering notes of leather and spice on an earthy background yet still smooth, this little guy will last you the better part of an hour if you smoke it properly. Give one a shot and see the greatness these fine coronas have to offer. …

Obsidian

10/24/2011 Andrew Christmas Wish List

Obsidian, for those who don’t know, is a type of black volcanic glass whose shards can be sharper that most any blade. The name suits this great perfecto as it’s draped in a deep, dark maduro with ash that falls as if it were cut with a knife. Starting off smooth and building in flavor, the strength is deceptive with minimal spice and mixed notes of peat, coffee, and leather. Light up …

Perdomo Reserve Champagne 10th Anniversary

Man O' War Puro Authentico

5/23/2011 Andrew Father's Day Favorites

Another winner from the man with the golden touch. This corona brings in similar flavors to Ruination — all in a nice little package. You'll find some extra spice in this lil' firecracker as the blend of earthy, peaty notes mixes perfectly with the leathery, cedar tones. The stronger, thicker tobaccos used for this flavorful blend also lend it a nice slow burn so it smokes like a robusto. …

Nub by Oliva

4/11/2011 Andrew Rothschild Extras

Loads of flavor in a little package. This guy is the pit bull of the cigar world and must not be underestimated! Great Cuban-esque flavor that yields a medium to full-bodied smoke with notes of leather, spice and wood. For as short as it is, it will last you the better part of an hour if not longer. Give this stubby lovely a try – it's more than worth the sticker price. …

La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte

2/28/2011 Andrew Maduros

This is one of AJ's finest. I know I say that about everything the man makes but it's so true – every one is a gem.

Partagas Cigars

1/3/2011 Andrew Test Of Time

One of the oldest but still one of the greatest in the industry. This classic blend is more reliable than Ole Faithful and never fails to disappoint.

This subtle blend is nice and smooth, slightly woody with a just a few notes of black pepper. For the price …
