Cigar: La Herencia Oscuro Fuerte

Cost: $6.00
Wrapper: Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro

Cigar Review – Oliva Master Blends III
Cigar: Oliva Master Blends III
Size: Torpedo (6×52)
Cost: $12.40
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Broad Leaf
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
This cigar smells spicey, with a prelight draw of strong barnyard and pepper. It’s beautifully box-pressed with a very nice, defect-free wrapper. The shape and feel of this cigar just scream about how well constructed it is.
The initial flavor is very powerfully influenced [...]

Review – Rocky Patel 1961
Cigar: Rocky Patel 1961
Size: Toro (6.5×52)
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
Binder: Honduran
Filler: Nicaraguan
Joe: This cigar has a great sheen to it, dripping with oil. There are a lot of color imperfections on this particular stick, but somehow, it works into the appearance. The band is gorgeous dual-band, one black in the shape of a tobacco plant, the other [...]
