Alec Bradley Project 40 Cigar Review
The name Project-40 is a fascinating name for a cigar, and if you hear it and think about somebody on their fortieth attempt to make a great blend, the name can be kind of misleading. It’s actually based on a study about human happiness. I believe it was called Project 40, where they determined that […]
CAO America Potomac Review
For a very long time, America was like the heartland of tobacco and grew lots of tobacco. Many cigars were even made right in the United States, but over time, a lot of that work has moved to Latin America, where they do a sensationally good job of making cigars. It’s rare now to see […]
La Gloria Cubana Esteli Cigar Review
La Gloria Cubana has an interesting phase in evolution as a cigar brand. These things used to be purely Cuban back in the day before the embargo. Surprisingly, after the US cut off business with Cuba, they actually moved to the Dominican Republic, where most of their cigars were made. Now, we got a stick […]

Partagas Yellow Box Naturales offer a great way to try some of Partagas’ top-notch blends. These cigars are known for their exclusive Cameroon wrapper, which adds a delicious smooth taste.

Partagas Legend Cigar Review
The connoisseur’s choice, the Partagas Legend Toro Leyenda cigar, is a testament to an already impressive heritage. Created for those who enjoy a more robust smoke, the Leyenda lives up to its name in appearance and taste.

Partagas Black Label Magnifico Review
Partagas is one of the original Cuban brands from before the US-Cuba Trade embargo. After the ban was signed and the US stopped importing cigars from Cuba, Partagas actually went and set up in other parts of Latin America. For that reason, today, there is a Cuban Partagas and non-Cuban Partagas, which makes cigars a […]
Plasencia 1865 Alma Fuerte Review
Plasencia is the name of a very powerful tobacco-growing family in Latin America. Most extensive growing operations in the entire world, nobody else can stand up to them. You haven’t heard of them up until recently; it wasn’t popular for tobacco growers to put their name on the cigar until AJ Fernandez started doing it, […]
MUWAT Review
Jonathan Drew himself blended the MUWAT line. The MUWAT cigar line is a collaboration between Drew Estate’s Subculture line and Joya de Nicaragua. While the cigars were a cross between Subculture’s blends and JDN’s classic flavors, the cigars are rolled in Joya de Nicaragua factories in Nicaragua. So, where did the name come from? The […]
Joya De Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Robusto Grande Review
After communist rule in Nicaragua hit the brand of Joya de Nicaragua, a lot of innovation and effort had to happen to revive the brand. For a bit of history, it’s good to know that Joya de Nicaragua was once a choice brand for US presidents with its Nicaraguan puro flavor. While known as a […]
Camacho American Barrel Aged Robusto Review
You know that you are in for a treat if you have tried a cigar from the famous Camacho brand. Because of the continuous innovation of this touted brand, fine old barrels for bourbon were used in aging the Corojo filler tobacco used in Camacho American Barrel Aged cigars. Barrel-aging seems like an excellent idea, […]
