Quorum Classic Churchill Review (Cigars)

Just cause its budget doesn't mean its bad....



Part of head/wrapper cracked when I snipped it. Slobbered the crack and waited a few hours to see if it would stay put. It did and I still powered on. Had a snug draw but it still produced lots of smoke. Toothy wrapper. Decent construction for a budget stick, except for it having a thin wrapper.



Another one noter. Not complex but still semi enjoyable. Really revved up in strength near the end. I wouldn't recommend this cigar due to the thin wrapper. It may have just been the one I had though.

Notes: Classic tobacco, Slightly tangy earth, Very slight bitter cacao



Rated 4/10

La Tradicion Cubana's Jose M Losa 1902 Torpedo Review (Cigars)


Damn this was a great cigar. I smoked it after a couple cups of coffee and had nothing while smoking it.




Construction was top notch. Wrapper was beautiful. It's an very strong cigar. It's blend is amazing though. I hate when really strong cigars don't have good blends. This has been my favorite cigar of the year so far. It's pretty syrupy with a thickness on the throat. I would drink something next time I have one. I recommend this cigar if you like Dominican cigars or strong cigars in general. I was impressed.




Notes: Spice, Caramel, Bold Coffee, Bitterness, Black Pepper, Red Pepper,  Syrupy Chocolate, Molasses, Chocolate Fudge Pop

Coronado By La Flor Toro Review (Cigars)


I loved this cigar




With that being said, I hadn't had one in many years. So I thought this weekend I would give one a shot again. Construction was great. Draw was great, The wrapper reminded me of an old leather bag.

Notes: Wood, Spice, Leather, Slight bitterness, Red Chilli Pepper, Cream

Arturo Fuente Curly Head Natural Review (Cigars)

Budget cigar review.






Having smoked quite few Curly Head Maduro's in my time, I thought I would try the Natural tonight. Construction was good for a 3 dollar cigar. Draw was perfect and smoke output was really good. At the half way point the tar started to build up at the tip so I ended it with two inches left.

Notes: Cedary Woodyness, Bitterness, Creamy, Nuttyness

El Titan De Bronze Redemption Maduro Toro Review (Cigars)

I have been waiting a while to try this cigar.



When I finally did I was a little disappointed. This cigar was GOOD and almost great. The first thing I noticed was the wrapper was pretty damn ugly. The caps held on every well but they were also ugly. It had a nice change at the half way point. The flavors mixed together and the cigar got alot stronger. Taste's like alot of cigars that are on the market.

Notes: Bitterness, Cedar, Woodyness, Slight Cream, Coco, Spicy Chocolate

Target's Archer Farms El Salvador Buena Vista Whole Bean Review (Coffee)



DAY1: Auto dripped: Not overly strong. Sweet notes, Chocolatey, Smooth, No acidyness, lite Almond

DAY2: Auto dripped:  Full on citus party, A tad acidy (not bad).

DAY3: French pressed:  Sweet notes, Chocolatey, Smooth,

Feels so good have a good coffee after that horrible dog shit GEVALIA coffee. The colour of this coffee when brewed is beautiful . I wish I could swim in a pool full of this stuff (sometimes). Honestly not a big fan of Target but, Every coffee I have gotten there has been great so far (Organic/\Direct Trade).

Strangely enough holds it flavor pretty well while cold (Took and sip and forgot how much time went by).

La Tradicion Cubana's Sabor Cubano Robusto Review (Cigars)



While this kinda reminded me in some ways of cigars, I have had in my past. I was really impressed by this cigar.



Draw was a tad tight but, still produced good smoke (It could have been so much more though). It really had a Dominican taste overall. Construction was great. This cigar is really worth trying. The blend is different and I enjoyed something that wasn't like everything else.


Notes: Soil, Earth, Bitter Chocolate, Vegital, Buttered toffee, Salty lips, Spice, Pepper, Burnt Coffee

Daily Smoke: Intemperance BA XXI Ambition (Cigars)




I dry boxed this cigar 24 hours. Draw was stelller. I feel bad about reviewing the sampler without trying this cigar first (I thought I had). This cigar was pretty damn great. Notes: Citrus, Yeasty Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Black Liquorice. The flavors at the end really married together nicely.

I wanna buy a five pack now haha..

ROMA Craft Tobac's Intemperance Volstead Sampler Review (Cigars)




Being a major fan of ROMA Craft Tobac's Cromagnon line I was really looking forward to this new line of cigars. I have also tried they're Adrian's line and really enjoyed it. I wanna review this as a sampler and not each cigar. (I did not let these cigars rest, burn lines were decent so I didn't think they needed it)

Construction on both lines was top notch as with all ROMA's products. The draws were mostly good except a couple had tight draws which I ended up clipping a little more and they were great after that. These are a hand made product after all.

The (Ecuador Connecticut) line was in the Medium range while the (Brazil Arapiraca) was more of a Full smoke. The (Ecuador Connecticut) line was a nice change of pace from the Dark/Full cigars I mostly smoke.

The (Ecuador Connecticut) line also had a tad sweetness on lips from the wrapper and once and a while I would get an citrus like tang while smoking. There was also some cinnamon in there too which was refreshing. Most of the notes are the same in the two lines. Construction on both lines was top notch as with all ROMA's products


 The (Brazil Arapiraca) lines had a little bit of saltyness on the lips do to the gorgeous wrappers.







Notes: Buttered Toffee, Leather, Pepper on the throat, Milk Chocolate


These cigars are really good and almost great. The (Ecuador Connecticut) line is great if you want a change of pace from alot of cigars on the market currently. The (Brazil Arapiraca) line is worth trying if you want something premium but, Not that different from other cigars on the market (the chocolate, pepper and leather).

I was honestly hoping for something a little more from these guy's. I guess that's mostly cause I loved the Cromagnon line so much (give it an try if you love full cigars). I did really enjoy both lines alot though and I would reccomend them to an  friend or somebody at a cigar shop. I'm gonna buy more for sure. For the price point they're are at it makes them a good cigar to try out.

Oh and by the way here's my Cromagnon face haha (Not my real face)
