Rodriguez Cigars isn't a brand I'm all too familiar with, but when I saw the Series 84 Maduro Torpedo in my subscription box from CigarClub.com, I was pretty excited to smoke it.00:00 Intro01:15 Welcome03:14 First Impressions04:01 Cigar Specs05:52 Smoking07:36 Final Thoughts09:28 CigarScore Reveal09:48 OutroCheck out CigarClub: https://click.cigarscore.com/cslp-cigarclubAs soon as I freed the cigar from the cellophane, I could immediately smell something amazing. The aroma of the Rodriguez Series 84 Maduro Torpedo was of leather and rich tobacco, and I was immediately impressed.After cutting the torpedo end, the draw was perfect. The flavors of the cold draw were reminiscent of whiskey or bourbon. And, after torching the end, the smell of the smoke was quite fantastic. Before I have even tasted the cigar, my hopes are high!CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Rodriguez CigarsLine: Series 84 MaduroSize: 6 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $9.95 - CigarClub.comWrapper: Nicaraguan Habano MaduroBinder: Nicaragua, EcuadorFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 59 minutesGet 15% OFF Cigars: https://famous-smoke.7eer.net/AD9XKThrough the middle of the cigar, the flavors were a combination of leather and milk chocolate with hints of spice.Final Thoughts:I found the Rodriguez Series 84 Maduro Torpedo to be a very pleasant surprise. Other than the crack in the wrapper, this cigar had great construction. Regarding the flavors, I was also surprised at how well this cigar pairs with coffee, after every puff, I could really taste the chocolate notes in my Pinon Coffee.My main complaint about this cigar is that it didn't last long enough. You should be able to enjoy a cigar of this size for about 90 minutes, but this cigar only lasted for about 60. I wish I'd been able to smoke it for longer.

The Oliva Serie V Double Toro is a cigar my father-in-law has been smoking for years and one that he swears by. And, since I frequently see them on Famous Smoke at 40% off, I bought box when I saw them on sale. So today, instead of just relying on the word of a friend, I thought we'd put the Oliva Serie V Double Toro to the test!00:00 Intro00:09 Welcome02:26 First Impressions04:02 Cigar Specs04:57 Smoking07:32 Final Thoughts09:06 OutroAfter using my v-cutter to snip the end, I found that I had a fairly tight draw. Regarding the flavors, the Serie V is undeniably Nicaraguan, but the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper adds some spice. However, the spice I get from these cigars like cinnamon, not peppers, so it's a nice combination of sweetness and spice. Additionally, I get notes of leather and other earthy flavors.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: OlivaLine: Serie VSize: 6 x 60Cut: Double V-CutLight: TorchPrice: $11.25Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano Sun GrownBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 105 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-oliva-serievThrough the first third of the Oliva Serie V Double Toro, I had a tight draw that I didn't like. To fix it, I used my guillotine cutter to try and open up the smoke, but my efforts failed. It looks like I'm going to have to suffer through a tight-ish draw.Final Thoughts:While this wasn't as good as the Oliva Serie V Double Toros I've had in the past, this one was still pretty good. Other than the disappointing draw, this cigar lived up to expectations (and past experiences) in every way.The Serie V has rich flavors of cinnamon and other spices that are balanced with earthy flavors that make up a really nice smoke. Plus it's hard to ignore the quality and length of smoke for the price, all from a premium cigar brand.

If you've never heard of Padilla cigars, welcome to the club. Before last year, I'd never heard of the brand that has actually been around and making cigars since 2013.01:41 - Padilla Finest Hour Review: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-padilla-finest-hour-oscuro-robusto/00:00 Intro00:03 Welcome00:45 First Impressions03:30 Cigar Specs05:09 Smoking09:12 Final Thoughts09:55 CigarScore Reveal10:34 OutroThe Padilla Series 1968 Black Bear Torpedo smells a little green at the onset. After cutting the end, the cold draw flavors were those of very high-proof alcohol, so much so that I wonder if this cigar's tobacco was aged in a whiskey or bourbon barrel.After torching the end, I was blasted with solid Nicaraguan flavors and shoe leather.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: PadillaLine: Series 1968, Black BearSize: 6 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.37 - Good Cigar CoWrapper: United States TBD BroadleafBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 75 minutesGet 15% OFF Cigars: https://famous-smoke.7eer.net/AD9XKNOTE: In the "wrapper" section above, I have TBD as the state.

However, even though the cigar didn't remain as good in the end as it started, the flavors were still pretty good.Because of the Padilla Black Bear's price, I think this cigar is worth taking a chance on. For the most part, the construction of the cigar was great. The draw was perfect and I never struggled to get enough smoke.  For these reasons, the Padilla Series 1968 Black Bear Torpedo earns a CigarScore 3.#CigarScoreTV #GoodCigarCo:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

In our search for the best cigars to pair with coffee, I stumbled upon the Drew Estate Liga Undercrown Shade, a cigar I've seen a lot of people talking about, but one I have yet to try.After pulling the Undercrown Shade out of the cellophane and giving it a big sniff, I could smell wheat and grass.

The Punch Chop Suey is kind of an ugly cigar. Not much attention was paid to making this lancero look perfect, but hopefully, what the Chop Suey lacks in appearance (due to the inch and a half long shaggy foot), the cigar can make up for in flavor!After using the v-cut (a.k.a "notch cut") to open up the cigar, the draw was a smidge tight. On the cold draw, I could taste tobacco that seemed a little green and under-aged.However, after torching the end, I could taste leather and cedar. During the first few minutes, the flavors were mellow with just hints of spice.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: PunchLine: Chop SueySize: 7 x 37Cut: V-CutLight: TorchPrice: $5.49 - Luxury Cigar ClubWrapper: Ecuadorian SumatraBinder: NicaraguaFiller: Nicaragua, Dominican RepublicSmoke Time: 63 minutesSave 15% on Punch: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-punchThrough the first half of the Punch Chop Suey, I enjoyed it. The flavors were semi-complex, and with a little sweetness. The draw was just a little tight, but not bad. The burn could have been better, but I didn't have to relight the cigar.Final Thoughts:While this cigar has a funny name and questionable construction quality, at the end of the day, the Punch Chop Suey is just an "okay" cigar. For the entire smoke, the draw was annoyingly tight, and, toward the end, the flavors toward became a little harsh. But, the stick I smoked had a decent burn.Although the Chop Suey isn't a bad cigar, it's not a great cigar either. Had I enjoyed the second half as much as the first, perhaps things (and the CigarScore) would be different.

The Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro is a cigar that made it onto the CigarScore Top 10 Cigars Under $10 list, so when I had a chance to review the Connecticut of the same line, I took it.Cigar Taxes by State: https://www.cigarscore.com/states-with-the-highest-tobacco-taxes/Top 10 Breakfast Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/top-10-breakfast-cigars-to-pair-with-coffee/Perdomo cigars, a.k.a. Tabacalera Perdomo is known for two things, making great cigars and being budget-friendly. Also, if you're looking for cigars aged in bourbon barrels, Perdomo has been doing that for years. It's the #PerdomoWay.NOTE: According to the Perdomo website, "Perdomo Cigars is the only cigar manufacturer to completely absorb the punitive SCHIP federal excise tax on all of its brands, and we will continue to do so. As a family business, we have held our prices and in many cases reduced them in order to be extremely competitive. "The Perdomo Lot 23 Connecticut Robusto is a budget-friendly cigar that I plan on comparing to the Perdomo Champagne, after all, they've got similar tobaccos inside. After punching the end, the draw of the Lot 23 was loose, and the flavors I could taste before lighting the cigar were of dried grass.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: PerdomoLine: Lot 23, ConnecticutSize: 5 x 50Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $6.50Wrapper: Nicaraguan Connecticut ShadeBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 62 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-perdomo-lot23Through the middle third of the cigar, the draw of the Lot 23 was perfect.

While the flavors were fairly mild and mellow, they were pretty good also, and there was no harshness until the final third. No bitter flavors presented themselves.The Perdomo Lot 23 Connecticut Robusto is a budget-friendly cigar that delivers a solid performance.

The Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto should be a true, luxury smoke. After all, it's a blend that won some "Cigar of the Year" awards a few years ago.The version of this cigar with the natural wrapper (as opposed to the Melanio Maduro) has a Nicaraguan binder and filler underneath an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that's marbled and quite attractive.After punching the end, the draw is impeccable. The flavors on the cold draw are grassy.It's worth noting that I've had some Oliva Serie V Melanios that had flavors of chocolate and caramel, while others have been mediocre in flavor. Consistency seems to be an issue with these cigars, and I plan on letting most of the ones I have left age for at least a couple of years.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: OlivaLine: Serie V, Melanio NaturalSize: 5 x 52Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $10.60Wrapper: Ecuadorian SumatraBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-oliva-serievmelanioWhereas the first third of the cigar had flavors that were just okay, the middle third is where the robusto started to shine. It was at about the halfway point where I started to get flavors of cream and caramel, even if they were just faint traces.Final Thoughts:I'm a little conflicted with this cigar because I know what amazing flavors of caramel, cocoa, coffee, and vanilla the Melanio blend can deliver. I've had it on the Churchill vitola, but, I didn't have it today.However, the Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto that I reviewed today doesn't quite live up to what I know a Melanio can deliver. This robusto's draw was great, the flavors were good, and I had an even burn the entire time, but... I know it can do better. The first third of the cigar was not as good as the middle and final thirds, which are where the draw opened up and the flavors improved.Overall, this Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto was pretty dang good, but not perfect, so it earns a CigarScore 4.#CigarScoreTV #Oliva:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

As soon as I took the Diesel Grind Toro out of the cellophane I'd been keeping it in for the last six months, my first thought was that the cigar smelled a little sweet and a little funky.Upon examining the cigar itself, there was a poorly cut cap and perhaps a water spot on the Nicaraguan Habano wrapper.However, despite having a funky smell to it, during the first fifteen minutes with the Diesel Grind Toro, I'm met with a great draw, a mostly even burn, and flavors that make me think the leaves could benefit from additional aging.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: AJ FernandezLine: Diesel, GrindSize: 6 x 50Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $6-7Wrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 75 minutesShop Diesel Cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-dieselIn the middle of the cigar, at around the 50-minute mark, the flavors were ok. I could taste some things I couldn't quite identify, but there were also hints of citrus, cedar, and perhaps, soy. The draw is incredible. But, at this point, I'm not sure whether or not I actually like the cigar.Final Thoughts:After smoking the cigar for about 70 minutes, I could finally put a finger on the flavors and what I thought they reminded me of - the Drew Estate Kentucky Fire Cured. Though I doubt their processes are the same, the Diesel Grind did taste like a milder, more muted version of the KFC I reviewed. The flavors seemed to have a charred brisket taste to them.While I didn't love the flavors of this stick, you might. It's not a bad cigar and it has a great price point with decent constructions, so the Diesel Grind Toro earns a CigarScore 4.#CigarScoreTV #AJF:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

When it comes to the "classics," what comes to mind? Cars? Movies? For me, "classics" are cigars like the CAO Gold Robusto, a cigar that's been around, and one that helped put CAO on the map back in the 1980s.The CAO Gold has a classic look and feel to it. It's got a Nicaraguan filler with an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper to hold it all in. I'm not sure, but I'd suspect that CAO created this blend long before the Perdomo Champagne or the RoMa Craft EC XVIII were even thought of. And, to me, something that leads to or spawns other somethings is a classic.Regarding the smell of the cigar, before it's even lit, the CAO Gold Robusto smells very leafy. Even after torching the end, the flavors were green and light. My suspicion is that this cigar won't deliver the delicious flavor-punch of the Perdomo or the RoMa Craft mentioned above.Other Cigars Mentioned:Perdomo Champagne: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-perdomo-champagne-robusto/RoMa Craft Intemperance EC XVIII: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-roma-craft-intemperance-ec-xviii-brotherly-kindness/FUN FACT: Nick Perdomo made cigars for CAO in 1999 through part of the early 2000s.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: CAOLine: GoldSize: 5 x 50Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $7.09Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut ShadeBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 45 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-cao-goldThrough the first third of the CAO Gold, the flavors were very mellow, straight forward, and complex. They're not bad flavors, but I don't know if this cigar is going to deliver what today's smokers are looking for.Final Thoughts:Overall, the CAO Gold Robusto had flavors that were very Cuban-esque. That is, the flavors were of dried wheat and grass. If you're looking for the rich, bold flavors of the Perdomo or RoMa Craft cigars that also have Nicaraguan fillers with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, the CAO Gold cigar isn't it.Regarding the construction of this cigar, it was almost perfect. I got an even burn and a great draw through the entire smoke.The CAO Gold Robusto is good enough to smoke again, but it's not a cigar with which I'd fill my humidor. If you like rich, complex cigars, you should probably skip this one. However, this cigar is well made and not terribly expensive, so the CAO Gold Robusto earns a CigarScore 3.#CigarScoreTV #CAO:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

I received the RoMa Craft CroMagnon Fomorian as a gift from a good friend. I'd seen him smoking this cigar on several occasions, but it always seemed to fall apart on him because of the finicky candela wrapper. However, after receiving the Fomorian as a gift, I thought I'd review it for you.The RoMa Craft CroMagnon Fomorian is Hulk-green and has a unique and weird and interesting Ecuadorian Connecticut Candela leaf as the wrapper. On the inside, you'll find a Cameroon binder and a filler made up of Nicaraguan tobacco, as is typical of RoMa Craft cigars.Before pulling the Fomorian out of the cellophane, I noticed small cracks in the wrapper. I don't know what it is about these cigars, but they sure are troublesome. After punching then end with care, the draw was perfect. The initial flavors were a little sour, like green grass.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: RoMa CraftLine: CroMagnon, FomorianSize: 5 x 56Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $7.50Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut CandelaBinder: CameroonFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 75 minutesGet 15% OFF RoMa: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-romacraftAs you can see in the video, the RoMa Craft CroMagnon Fomorian continued to fall apart. At one point, it seemed like the only thing keeping the cigar together was the paper label. If I'm being honest, I question the appeal this cigar has.Final Thoughts:After struggling with the Fomorian for 70 minutes, I don't get it. I don't understand this cigar or why anyone would put themself through the headache of trying to smoke one. However, on the flip side, the flavors are okay.I think of the Fomorian like getting a whole lobster at dinner. They're both a lot of work to enjoy, and, at the end, you have to consider if the enjoyment was worth the effort.For me, the RoMa Craft CroMagnon Fomorian wasn't worth the effort, and I just don't get how people like this cigar.

Today's cigar is one I've had before, but wasn't able to review initially.

Over the last year or so, we've smoked and reviewed almost every Plasencia cigar we could get our hands on. And today, we're diving into the Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto, a meant to commemorate the 146th crop the Plasencia family planted in Nicaragua.After taking the Cosecha 146 out of the cellophane, I immediately thought the cigar was very well made; it looked amazing. I was also greeted with a very fragrant cigar that smelled of wood and cedar. The v-cut provided a nice draw with a cold draw that might've had a tiny hint of citrus.In the first third, the flavors are spicey with lots of cedar flavors. And, after the cigar heated up, the draw became a little tight.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: PlasenciaLine: Cosecha 146Size: 5 1/4 X 52Cut: V-CutLight: TorchPrice: $12.00 - Good Cigar CoWrapper: Honduran HabanoBinder: NicaraguaFiller: Nicaragua, HondurasSmoke Time: 80 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-plasencia-cosecha146Final Thoughts:The Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto is a pretty good cigar. While I didn't like the Cosecha 146 La Vega as much as the Plasencia Alma Fuerte, I did like it much better than the Alma Del Campo.There were nice complexities in flavor with both sweetness from the Nicaraguan tobacco tempered with the smoothness of the Honduran filler tobacco, but with hints of spice from the Honduran Habano wrapper. The burn was even, but the draw was a little tight.Overall, the flavors were really good. In the final third, the flavors became more smokey and roasted as opposed to the cedar I tasted earlier in the cigar. I enjoyed the Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto, and it earns a CigarScore 5.#CigarScoreTV #GoodCigarCo:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

Adding Candela leaf tobacco to any cigar is always a bold choice. But, that's what Black Works Studio did in today's cigar, the Green Hornet.The Black Works Studio Killer Bee Green Hornet Robusto is just slightly smaller than your traditional robusto. Both its smoking end and its foot have candela tobacco in them, and the green leaf acts as a visual nod to the vitola (size) of the cigar, the Green Hornet.After punching the end and toasting the foot, the draw was very easy, and I was greeted with hints of the grassy-sour candela tobacco. In addition to the candela flavors, I can taste the distinctive tastes of heavily roasted tobacco that is common in cigars from both Black Works Studio and Black Label Trading Co (they're the same company).CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Black Works StudioLine: Green HornetSize: 5 x 48Cut: V-CutLight: TorchPrice: $9Wrapper: Ecuadorian Maduro and Ecuadorian Candela (Double Claro)Binder: Nicaraguan HabanoFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 62 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-blackworks-killerbeeFinal Thoughts:While I didn't especially like the flavors of the Black Works Studio Killer Bee Green Hornet Robusto, I must admit that the construction quality of this cigar is very high. I didn't experience a single burn issue, and the draw was perfect from the very beginning. The Green Hornet is a very well made cigar.However, I didn't really care for the flavors. As I mentioned before, all Black Works/Black Label cigars tend to have a charred or burned taste to the tobacco. Like Starbucks tends to burn their coffee beans, these two brands tend to burn their tobacco during the fermentation process. The actual process might be different, but the flavors of the end result are the same. Additionally, the candela tobacco's odd flavors complicate the mix.At the end of the day, the Killer Bee Green Hornet is a well-made cigar with flavors that might be right up your alley. A CigarScore 4 for sure.#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

When I set out to do a cigar review today, I was somewhat disappointed when I remembered I didn't have a Liga Privada to smoke. However, my sadness was immediately expunged when I saw the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat on the shelf of my humidor. Not only is the Velvet Rat a Liga Privada, but it's also a part of the elite Unico Serie that's supposed to be some of the best cigars Drew Estate makes.12:02 - Drew Estate Liga A Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNLOr3y3HDMThe Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat is a great, but somewhat rugged-looking, cigar. It's got a pigtail tip and a dark, Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper that is marbled like a prime steak.After cutting the end, the draw was perfect and the cold draw flavors were like a roasted cocoa.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Drew EstateLine: Liga Privada, Unico Serie Velvet RatSize: 6 1/4 X 46Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $16.70Wrapper: Brazilian Mata FinaBinder: United States Connecticut River Valley stalk-cut & cured HabanoFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 65 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-de-ligaprivada-unicoserieIf there was a CigarScore Zero, this cigar would have earned it in the first third. There were multiple hollow spots that led to a terrible draw and almost no smoke.The entire first half of the Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat was a bad experience for me. Even the flavors were mediocre, and I could barely tell this was even a distant cousin of a Liga Privada cigar. As disappointing as the first half of the Velvet Rat was, I think I got a lemon.Final Thoughts:The first half of the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat I reviewed sucked. It was terrible, and, I hope, a fluke. The second half, however, was not so bad.In the final third of the Velvet Rat, the burn evened up, the draw opened up, and the flavors came back into the realm of what could be expected in a cigar of this brand and at this price point.Overall, the flavors I could get out of this cigar were kind of bland. The cigar was riddled with hollow spots and plagued by a bad draw. Had I not smoked and reviewed other Liga Privada cigars that I enjoyed, based on this stick alone, I'd never come back to the brand.However, I know Drew Estate can make better cigars. I plan on coming back to the Unico Serie Velvet Rat and reviewing it again in a series called "Second Chance Cigar Reviews." But today, the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat earns a CigarScore 2 and probably should've gotten a 1.#CigarScoreTV #DrewEstate #LigaPrivada #VelvetRat:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

The Davidoff Nicaragua Toro should be an excellent cigar. After all, Davidoff is one of the premier brands in the cigar industry. And, after smoking and reviewing the Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro, I have fairly high expectations for the Davidoff Nicaragua - a nearly $20 cigar.04:15 - Unboxing Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8pPdte-ZXh0LmWljaG56gSL5GfhSX0po06:34 - Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCI3ZpqzkiUAfter cutting the end of the cigar, the cold draw produced flavors of wheat and grass that were very light. When lighting the cigar, the first flavors were classic Nicaraguan with hints of both spiciness and sweetness and just a whiff of leather. The initial draw is a little tight.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: DavidoffLine: NicaraguaSize: 5 1/2 x 54Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $19.50 Wrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-davidoff-nicaraguaThrough the middle of the cigar, the burn was a little uneven. The flavors were ok, and the draw was perfect. However, for a nearly $20 cigar, I was a little concerned about the value for the price since the cigar became soft going into the final third.Final Thoughts:The Davidoff Nicaragua Toro is a good cigar, but not a great one. It's a little expensive for what you get, and, for the price, I think it should smoke a little longer and have better construction. There were some minor issues where the cigar had an uneven burn.For me, this particular stick of the Davidoff Nicaragua Toro earns a CigarScore 4 - it's got some minor issues, but it's still a good cigar.#CigarScoreTV #LuxuryCigarClub :::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

I love it when people ask me to review a cigar. I love it, even more, when someone gives me a cigar to review! And the latter is the case with today's stick, the RoMa Craft Wunderlust Robusto.Typically this cigar is exclusive to the European cigar market, and it's unlikely you'll find it on any shelf in a lounge near you (that is until CigarScore goes international).After giving the end the old snippety-snip, the initial cold draw was practically perfect and the cigar had flavors that were might lighter than the dark, Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper might indicate, also with hints of cedar.Once the RoMa Craft Wunderlust is lit, the cigar provides plenty of smoke, and I expect to thoroughly experience this stick.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: RoMa CraftLine: Wunder|LustSize: 5 x 50Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $9.61 USDWrapper: Brazilian Mata FinaBinder: Indonesia BesukiFiller: Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, HondurasSmoke Time: 70 minutesSave 15% on Cigars: 'https://famous-smoke.7eer.net/AD9XKNOTE: It looks like the GPS coordinates 52.197398, 8.591870 found on the Wunderlust's label lead nowhere.

Probably the first thing I noticed about the Holy Braille by Chico Rivas after taking it out of the cellophane was how awesome the cigar smelled. The Dominican Habana HVA wrapper leaf was giving off a truly amazing aroma, and I was very eager to get into this stick.1:00 - Unboxing March Good Cigar Co: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG22rfXJ84cOn the cold draw, the Holy Braille delivers a tangy citrus flavor that's quite unlike the aroma of the wrapper. In fact, the cold draw flavors of the inside of the cigar and the smell of wrapper are quite different. After lighting the cigar, I could taste something familiar, but I wasn't quite able to place it.Doing a little digging, I found out that the Holy Braille is actually a Caldwell cigar, and that Chico Rivas is the blender.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: CaldwellLine: Lost & Found, Holy BrailleSize: 6 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.88 - Good Cigar CoWrapper: Dominican Republic Habano (2008 Vintage Habana HVA)Binder: Dominican RepublicFiller: Dominican RepublicGet 15% Off Cigars: https://famous-smoke.7eer.net/AD9XKFinal Thoughts:Honestly, the Lost & Found Holy Braille by Chico Rivas doesn't live up to the Caldwell brand that the company has painstakingly hidden on this cigars label.

Oveja Negra Brands is a company who makes both the Black Works Studio cigars and the Black Label Trading Co cigars. And today, I'm reviewing the Black Works Studio Killer Bee Maduro.I picked up the Killer Bee because it looks cool! This cigar has what looks like 5 caps, each a different leaf color (and probably type) to give the cigar a layered look like the body of a bee. The dark, Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper appears oily and delicious.After punching through all of the caps, the draw was perfect, and after torching the closed foot, I could immediately tell that the flavors were going to be very bold, like overroasted coffee.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Black Works StudioLine: Killer BeeSize: 4 1/2 x 46Cut: PunchLight: Torch MatchesPrice: $7.50Wrapper: Ecuadorian MaduroBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 65 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-blackworks-killerbeeFinal Thoughts:I was very impressed with the Black Works Studio Killer Bee Maduro.

I've had an interesting experience with Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust's cigars. While I've found them generally good, I've also found them unnecessarily expensive.However, over the past few months, I've had several friends recommend that I give the Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust Sobremesa Brulee a try. And, given my new found love of lighter cigars, I thought I'd smoke the Brulee today.The Sobremesa Brulee toro is an interesting cigar. It's got an oddly smooth but textured wrapper, that looks like it has tiny crystals on it. After torching the end and cutting the tip, I can immediately taste very sweet flavors that lead me to think this cigar has a sugar tip on it. We'll research that =) First impressions are flavorful ones!CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Dunbarton Tobacco and TrustLine: Sobremesa BruleeSize: 6 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $13.45 - Luxury Cigar ClubWrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut ShadeBinder: Mexican MatacapanFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 79 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-dtt-sobremesabruleeFinal Thoughts:Wow, the Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust Sobremesa Brulee is a wonderful cigar.

Perdomo is one of my favorite cigar brands. (Click BELOW for all Perdomo cigar reviews). When I discovered the Perdomo Champagne, my world was turned upside down and my perspective of lighter cigars changed.All Perdomo Reviews: https://www.cigarscore.com/tag/perdomo-cigars/09:24 - Hooten Young Gothic Serpent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv-0p6zlKtcSo, when I saw that Nick Perdomo and his team had blended a darker version of one of my favorite cigars, I knew I had to smoke it. Today we're diving into the Perdomo Champagne Noir Epicure, which is a cocoa-colored (ie. noir), much bolder-looking version of the Champagne than I've been used to.After cutting and lighting the Noir, the flavors were good, like those of chocolate cake, but the binder and filler tobaccos were so densely packed that I struggled to get a good draw.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: PerdomoLine: Champagne NoirSize: 6 x 54Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.75Wrapper: Nicaraguan Cuban Seed MaduroBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-perdomo-champagne-noirFinal Thoughts:The Perdomo Champagne Noir Epicure is like the regular Champagne, but not.

Today we're doing something a little different and a whole lot crazy. Today we're doing the first-ever Cigar Battle here on CigarScore, and we're pairing two great cigars together to see which one wins.The contenders are two cigars made exclusively for Stogies World Class Cigars in Houston, Texas. See, the team at Stogies has an affinity for lanceros, so they tasked major cigar brands to make a cigar just for their South-Texas customers. And today we have two of those choice offerings, one from Tatuaje and one from RoMa Craft.Officially, their names are the and the H-Town Tatuaje Exclusive Series Lancero and the H-Town RoMa Craft Neanderthal OM Lancero, but we've shortened those names below and in the video.According to Stogies, the RoMa Craft lancero:"originates in Nicaragua. The strength is best described as Full with a standard shape of Lancero. Binder is Connecticut Broadleaf and wrapper influence is San Andres. Filler comes from Dominican and Nicaragua"And the Tatuaje Lancero:"originates in Nicaragua. The strength is best described as Medium-Full with a standard shape of Lancero. Binder is Nicaraguan and wrapper influence is Ecuador Sumatra. Filler comes from Nicaragua."And both cigars are $10. Since these cigars are about as similar as they could possibly be, I thought they'd be the perfect cigars with which to launch the CigarScore Cigar Battle!Let's go!CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: TatuajeLine: H-Town Exclusive Series LanceroSize: 7 x 40Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $10Wrapper: Ecuadorian SumatraBinder: NicaraguaFiller: Nicaragua-VS-Brand: RoMa CraftLine: H-Town Neanderthal OM LanceroSize: 7 x 38Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $10Wrapper: Mexican San AndresBinder: United States Connecticut BroadleafFiller: Nicaragua, Dominican RepublicCigar Battle Winner:Tatuaje H-Town Exclusive Series LanceroFinal Thoughts:Wow, what an awesome Cigar Battle! The H-Town Tatuaje Exclusive Series Lancero and the H-Town RoMa Craft Neanderthal OM Lancero, both really went head to head and each really delivered.Both cigars had great and even burns. Both cigars had great draws. Both cigars were full-bodied and full-flavored.However, since this is a cigar battle, there can be only one winner. For me, that winner was the Tatuaje.Whereas the RoMa Craft (in typical RC fashion) was pedal-to-the-medal from the first puff, the Tatuaje seemed just a little more nuanced and complex. The Tatuaje was also just a smidge bigger and took about 10 minutes longer to smoke, so it might be a little more value for your money.Stogies in Houston: https://www.cigarscore.com/places/texas/houston/cigar-lounges/stogies-world-class-cigars-westheimer/Fine Ash Cigars in Arizona: https://www.cigarscore.com/places/arizona/glendale/cigar-lounges/fine-ash-cigars-bar-lounge/#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

While I don't love all RoMa Craft Tobac's cigars, I can't deny the fact that they're always well made with a lot of attention to detail. And, with that said, there are some RoMa Craft cigars that I absolutely love, like the Intemperance EC XVIII series.0:43 - RoMa Craft Intemperance EC XVIII Review: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-roma-craft-intemperance-ec-xviii-brotherly-kindness/0:51 - RoMa Craft Saber Tooth: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-roma-craft-aquitaine-emh-saber-tooth/4:48 - RoMa Craft Intemperance BA Breach of the Peace: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-roma-craft-intemperance-ba-breach-of-the-peace/RoMa Craft makes a variety of cigars, most of them unapologetically bold. And today's selection is the RoMa Craft Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 1794 Bradford, which has a dark, oily, Ecuadorian Habano wrapper.On the cold draw, the flavors were slightly sweet and I tasted what I thought were hints of whiskey, so maybe this "Whiskey Rebellion" cigar was aged in a whiskey barrel. We'll see.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: RoMa CraftLine: Intemperance, Whiskey Rebellion 1794Size: 5 x 56Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.00Wrapper: Ecuadorian HabanoBinder: Indonesian BezukiFiller: Nicaragua, Dominican RepublicBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-rc-intemperance-whiskeyrebellionIn the middle of the cigar, somewhere around the 25-minute mark, I discovered a massive hollow spot in the cigar that caused some pretty major draw issues. A little further, perhaps after I burned through the hollow spot, the burn became quite uneven.Final Thoughts:Despite my excitement for the RoMa Craft Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 1794 Bradford, and the sweet aroma it put out, I didn't really care for this cigar. It was plagued with construction issues, a trait not typical of RoMa Craft cigars in my experience. I had to torch the cigar multiple times to get an even burn. That combined with the hole in the middle, and you get a poorly made stick.I may be getting soft in my old age, but I'm going to give the RoMa Craft Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 1794 Bradford a CigarScore of 3. Perhaps it should've gotten a CigarScore 2, but I may be more forgiving than I used to be. The construction was pretty bad, but you might love these bold, intense, oaky, charred flavors, and really enjoy this blend.#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

One interesting and cool thing about going to cigar events is that you sometimes get cigars you couldn't get elsewhere. And that's sort of the case with today's cigar, the Nomad Toro by Ezra Zion, a.k.a., the Nomad by Ezra Zion Cigars House Blend, which I got at Underground Cigar Shop's NFG 2020, in Fort Worth, Texas.On the cold draw, the Nomad Toro was so light, I couldn't pick up much flavor. However, after torching the closed foot, I was greeted with an easy draw and plenty of smoke.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Nomad CigarsLine: Nomad House BlendSize: 6 1/2 x 54Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.50Wrapper: Mexican San AndresBinder: Nicaragua, Indonesia, Ecuador, United StatesFiller: Nicaragua, Indonesia, Ecuador, United StatesSmoke Time: 70 minutesGet 15% off cigars: https://famous-smoke.7eer.net/AD9XKFinal Thoughts:Despite what the Nomad Cigars website told me, I don't think this Nomad House Blend has a maduro wrapper.

Some cigars are just, well, rare. They're event exclusives or their limited edition or something along those lines. Well, today's cigar, the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie A is a cigar so rare, I'm sure if you've ever even heard of it, it's been through pictures on your Instagram feed.01:28 - Liga Privada T52 Review: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-liga-privada-t52-corona-doble/09:16 - Fratello The Texan Review: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-fratello-the-texan/Info Page on DE Website: https://drewestate.com/?portfolio=liga-privada-unico-serie-cigarsBefore even cutting or lighting the cigar, the Unico Serie A smelled pretty good.

However, they took a risk and offered them up for sale. The lines were so successful that they went into production. I can see why. The Unico Serie A is a great stick.Although I couldn't find an exact or current price for this cigar, everything else about it led to a great experience.

A big cigar with a funny name - that's what we're smoking today. The La Aurora Hors D'Age 2018 (which means "beyond time") is a large-ish cigar with an Ecuadorian wrapper. It's a fairly limited edition cigar (only 6000 boxes of 15 cigars were produced), so it should be pretty good.06:46 - Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-davidoff-winston-churchill-the-late-hour-toro/06:52 - Plasencia Alma Fuerte Generacion V Salomon: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-plasencia-alma-fuerte-generacion-v/After lighting the end with my torch, the flavors seemed basic and straightforward, but also familiar.

Some cigars you choose; others, you don't. Today I'm smoking the Esteban Carreras Unforgiven Toro Grande, a cigar given to me by a friend. However, unlike some cigars I've been given, this Unforgiven was, well, given, by a friend who doesn't know a lot about cigars.01:06 - Estaban Carreras Mr. Brownstone: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-esteban-carreras-mr-brownstone-smack-toro/Oh well, time for an adventure. The Esteban Carreras Unforgiven Toro Grande is an okay looking cigar, but it doesn't look "premium." There's a little bit of extra glue carelessly forgotten around the label and end cap.After cutting the end, I got a good draw, though the cold draw flavors made me think that this cigar hadn't aged long enough. Once I lit the cigar, I got hints of angel food cake-like sweetness.Brand: Esteban CarrerasLine: UnforgivenSize: 6 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $9.20Wrapper: Ecuadorian SumatraBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 65 minutesSave 15% on Cigars: https://famous-smoke.7eer.net/AD9XKCigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Through the middle of the cigar, the burn was mostly good, the draw was mostly good, but the flavors... well, I wasn't enjoying them.

Cigars that you look forward to and ones to which you keep returning require something more - awesome flavors. There were flavors of underaged and harsh tobacco along with flavors of ammonia. I just didn't like this cigar.Due to bad flavors and what I felt was a rushed product, the Esteban Carreras Unforgiven Toro Grande earns a CigarScore 2.#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

Another cigar I've been seeing a lot about, the Umbagog comes from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, a company started by Steve Saka. And, in case you didn't know, Saka was the head guy for Drew Estate (and mentor to Nick Melillo), before he decided to strike out on his own.02:45 - Select Draw Cigar Cutters: https://www.cigarscore.com/SelectDraw03:04 - Get CigarScore emails: https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribeThe Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Umbagog Toro was sent to me by Good Cigar Co and comes in at around the $9 price point, a cost that's much lower than other DT&T sticks. On the cold draw, I tasted smokey barbeque.After lighting the end, the draw is absolutely perfect. The flavors are smokey with hints of cinnamon spice.

However, draw remained perfect and I think the Umbagog, though on the cheaper end of the DT&T product list, is still a very well made cigar.While there were some flaws in the cigar, at the end of the day, smoking it was an enjoyable experience that I wish had lasted a little bit longer for the size.

At the request of a viewer on YouTube, user "Don de Puros", today I'm smoking the Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 1 Toro. I think this might be my first-ever Trinidad cigar, and it's visually very impressive. The wrapper leaf looks great and it has some slight texture to it. However, the veins are dehydrated and pressed, and this cigar looks very tasty.After cutting the end and giving it a torch, the initial flavors are very spicey. The Nicaraguan wrapper delivers tons of spice, and I suspect that this cigar is not for the faint of heart. The draw has started off very well, and I've got high hopes for the Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 1 Toro.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: AJ Fernandez, TrinidadLine: Espiritu, Series No. 1Size: 6 x 54Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $10.15[/one_half_first][one_half_last]Wrapper: NicaraguanBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 85 minutesSmoke this Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-trinidad-espirituFinal Thoughts:While there were a couple of issues, overall, the construction of the Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 1 Toro was very good.The flavors of both spicey and sweet Nicaraguan tobaccos come through clearly, but the sweet is more apparent on the retrohale.

The Diamond Crown line of cigars from JC Newman are some of the most luxurious cigars around. As my friends over at Famous-Smoke say it,"these aromatic cigars are expertly handcrafted by Tabacalera A.

One of the best things about joining a cigar of the month club like CIGRco, Luxury Cigar Club, or Good Cigar Co, is that you get access to new and different cigars each month. And that's the case with today's cigar, the PSyKO Seven Nicaragua, that I received from CIGRco in September 2019.05:02 - Archetype Cloaks Robusto Review: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-archetype-cloaks-robusto/This cigar is a Nicaraguan puro, meaning all of the tobacco inside is from Nicaragua. The Connecticut wrapper isn't as dark as I'd expected, and I especially wasn't expecting the bold flavors I tasted as soon as I lit the cigar.On the cold draw, I tasted burning wood, maybe pine. The draw from the punch is just perfect, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the PSyKO Seven Nicaragua robusto has to offer.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Ventura Cigar Co.Line: Psyko SevenSize: 5 x 50Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $6.79Wrapper: Nicaraguan Connecticut 2007 Vintage DesfloradaBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 69 minutesSmoke it w/ me: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-ventura-psyko7nicaraguaIn the middle third of the cigar, the burn was almost perfect, and the draw was fantastic. Regarding the flavors, the PSyKO Seven Nicaragua is about as classic as they come. On every puff, you'll know you're smoking a Nicaraguan cigar by the delicious combination of both spicey and creamy tasting notes.Final Thoughts:In the final third of the cigar, some of the delicious flavors from the first part of the cigar became harsh and perhaps a little bitter.However, overall, the PSyKO Seven Nicaragua had a nearly perfect burn and perfect draw with a really tasty and delicious beginning and middle. Had that great experience that welcomed me into the cigar been the same experience that bid me farewell, this cigar would've earned a higher score. But, it didn't, so the PSyKO Seven Nicaragua earns a CigarScore 4.#CigarScoreTV #CIGRco:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

After trying the Last Call Maduro, I knew I also wanted to try the AJ Fernandez Last Call Habano. This cigar just looks great!The Last Call Habano comes from the AJ Fernandez factory in Nicaragua. It's short and stout, and it's a great looking cigar. Compared to the Maduro, the Habano has a medium-brown wrapper that appears to be very well made. The veins have been pressed, and the closed foot makes this cigar one I'm very excited about.0:36 Last Call Maduro Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65R_YGIfsUcAfter punching the smoking end, the draw was just a tad tight.

Back when we were living in Boston in 2019, I remember grabbing up the C.L.E Prieto. It was so enjoyable. The flavors were unique and the cigar left a lasting impression with me, so much so that it earned a spot in the list of Best Cigars of 2019. So, when I walked into my local lounge and saw the C.L.E. Corojo Robusto on the shelf, I picked it up with excitement!CLE Prieto Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izn2YgtjWd0On the cold draw, the C.L.E. Corojo Robusto has the same flavors of ginger that I remembered and which led me to pick this cigar up in the first place.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: CLE CigarsLine: CorojoSize: 5 x 50Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.70Wrapper: Honduran CorojoBinder: HondurasFiller: HondurasBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-cle-corojoFinal Thoughts:The flavors of ginger that I tasted in the cold draw were almost non-existent after lighting it up. However, that doesn't mean the C.L.E. Corojo Robusto was without flavor. It wasn't. In fact, this cigar has tons of flavor and lots of spicey notes throughout the entire smoke.Regarding the burn, it was perfect. As was the draw. While I didn't just love the flavors of this cigar, it was extremely well constructed and there was basically nothing to complain about. And, while the blend didn't hit a home run for me, the flavors might be perfect for you. For these reasons, the C.L.E. Corojo Robusto earns a CigarScore 5.#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

Not every cigar shop has house blends, but some do. So when Bradley Reith over at Zeal Cigars in Phoenix, Arizona asked me to review some of his house blend cigars, I said, "I'm in!"Today's smoke is a blend Bradley made himself. It's the Zeal Cigars Got Your Six Gordo, and it's a somewhat rustic-looking cigar with a barber pole wrapper made up of three different tobaccos. The initial flavors after cutting are very nice and the draw started off great.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Zeal Cigars House BlendLine: Got Your SixSize: 6 x 60Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8Wrapper: Cameroon Maduro, Ecuadorian Connecticut, HabanoBinder: Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, HondurasFiller: Dominican RepublicShop Zeal Cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/zealcigars-gotyoursixFinal Thoughts:Where some house blend cigars leave a lot to be desired, often falling short in areas of flavor, construction quality, premium look and feel, the Zeal Cigars Got Your Six Gordo does not. This cigar stands apart from other non-name-brand sticks.But, does the Got Your Six belong with the premium cigars on the shelf?The first third of the smoke had flavors that were mild to medium, and the flavors from the Habano wrapper seemed to have been muted. That is until the final third which is when the cigar developed a little bit of a kick and the notes of vanilla transition to pepper. However, there were some slight construction issues with the Cameroon and Connecticut wrappers.In the end, I would smoke this cigar again. Thought it had a couple of minor issues (which could also be because of temperature fluctuations in my humidor) the Got Your Six performed well, and it earns a CigarScore 3.#CigarScoreTV #ZealCigars #ZealTeam6:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

Sometimes a cigar sounds great, but you don't have a lot of time. That's the situation I found myself in the other day when I first found the AJ Fernandez Last Call Maduro.I didn't have my order of CigarScore hoodies in yet, so I didn't have warm clothes for smoking in. So, I found a lounge on CigarScore.com, drove there, and arrived with about 50 minutes left before they closed. When I was about to walk out of the humidor with a bunch of toros to smoke and thinking I might have to toss the final third of a bigger cigar when the shop closed, I saw the Last Call Maduro Geniales - a 4.5" cigar that might be perfect for the time I had.After cutting the cigar, the cold draw was very nice. Its flavors were of pine and an oceany-seaweed; it was very odd. The closed foot is begging to be lit, so let's dive in.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: AJ FernandezLine: Last Call, MaduroSize: 4 1/2 x 48Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $6.35Wrapper: Nicaraguan Pennsylvania BroadleafBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 75 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-ajf-lastcallmaduroFinal Thoughts:With just about an inch left on the AJ Fernandez Last Call Maduro Geniales, the cigar wasn't hot, the draw was good, and the burn was consistent and even. However, I don't know if this stick was as good as the one I smoked at my local lounge, but this was still a pretty solid cigar.Because this cigar has a great draw, great burn, and a great price point with pretty decent flavors, the AJ Fernandez Last Call Maduro Geniales earns a CigarScore 4.

This cigar is YUUUGE! Ok, it's not that big, but this Back2Back Connecticut is a 6 x 60 Toro Gordo of sorts, and it feels like a big, beefy cigar.While punching the cigar, I accidentally knicked the side of the cigar with the bottom of my lighter (the punch is on the bottom). I feel stupid, and I hope it doesn't negatively impact the experience. On the cold draw, I taste citrus and honey.Get CigarScore emails: https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribeThe CigarScore User Survey: https://www.cigarscore.com/surveys-quizzes/survey-for-smokers/Perdomo Champagne Review: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-perdomo-champagne-robusto/RoMa Craft Intemperance EC XVIII Review: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-roma-craft-intemperance-ec-xviii-brotherly-kindness/CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Davidoff Back2BackLine: ConnecticutSize: 6 x 60Cut: PunchLight: Torch MatchesPrice: $7.49 - Luxury Cigar ClubWrapper: Ecuadorian ConnecticutBinder: MexicoFiller: Dominican RepublicGet 15% OFF Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/famousIn the middle of the Back2Back Connecticut Toro, I tasted roasted honey, hints of black licorice, and maybe even some Honey Nut Cheerios. In the final third, I had puffs that were a little sour and sometimes bitter.Final Thoughts:The Back2Back Connecticut Toro is a big cigar that has a lot to offer but also has some drawbacks due to its size. I think this particular vitola (i.e. size) is a little too big, and I think a different vitola with a different filler to binder to wrapper ratio might deliver the flavor combination I was hoping for.While this cigar isn't my favorite, it's still pretty good. Though I might prefer this cigar from RoMa Craft or this one from Perdomo, I think the Back2Back Connecticut Toro is worth trying, just in a different size. Because I'd smoke this again, but would prefer a different size, the Back2Back Connecticut Toro vitola earns a CigarScore 3.#CigarScoreTV #LuxuryCigarClub:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

Yes, the Byron Petit Poemas is expensive. And, yes, the Byron Petit Poemas only lasted just over an hour. But, is it worth the $20 price point?The burn was pretty dang good. The flavors were very nice and the cigar smoked and felt very premium. However, the draw was tighter than I would have liked, despite having chopped the end off perfectly with my guillotine cutter.In the end, the Byron Petit Poemas is a good cigar worth enjoying at least once.

This is the second time a Diamond Crown Julius Caesar cigar has shown up in our reviews. The first time was when we reviewed the Diamond Crown Julius Caesar Toro, but that was back in February of 2019 and before we started CigarScore TV.Diamond Crown Julius Caesar TORO Review: https://www.cigarscore.com/review-diamond-crown-julius-caesar/Shop $12 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/tag/12-dollar-cigars/Shop $13 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/tag/13-dollar-cigars/So, today, we're diving into the Diamond Crown Julius Caesar Robusto. This cigar is beautiful. After cutting the end with my guillotine, the cold draw offered up floral notes that were very interesting. And, after toasting the foot of the cigar, the aroma was of cedar. Overall, my first impression of the Julius Caesar robusto was that this was going to be a great cigar.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: JC Newman / Diamond CrownLine: Julius CaesarSize: 4 3/4 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: Torch MatchesPrice: $13.24 - Luxury Cigar ClubWrapper: Ecuadorian HabanoBinder: Dominican RepublicFiller: Dominican RepublicBuy this Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-dc-juliuscaesarFinal Thoughts:For the first two-thirds of the cigar, the Diamond Crown Julius Caesar Robusto really tasted like a premium cigar. The draw was perfect. The flavors were complex and delicious. And I really enjoyed it.However, in the final third, the flavors became slightly bitter and a little harsh. Though they didn't have a major negative impact on the cigar, the flavors did affect the overall enjoyment of the stick. Also, there were a few burn problems that just shouldn't happen on a premium cigar such as one from Diamond Crown.At the end of the day, if you can grab a Julius Caesar Robusto at a great price, grab one. But, be careful to not overpay. Because I liked the cigar despite its flaws, the Diamond Crown Julius Caesar Robusto earns a CigarScore 4.#CigarScoreTV #LuxuryCigarClub:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

When I first heard of the Alec & Bradley Blind Faith, I was led to believe this was an amazing, ultra-rare cigar that I just had to try. So, when I found one in my possession, I was excited to see if it was worth the hype.This cigar is a collaboration between Alec and Bradley, the two sons of Alec Bradley founder, Alan Rubin. Though it still is an Alec Bradley (the brand) cigar, technically, this stick comes from a unique line just line any line from any other manufacturer.After punching the cigar, the draw was very tight. So, I punched it again, and that didn't help much. The Alec Bradley Blind Faith is supposed to be a great cigar, so let's find out!CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Alec BradleyLine: Alec and Bradley, Blind FaithSize: 5 x 52Cut: Punch / GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.95Wrapper: Honduran HabanoBinder: Nicaragua, HondurasFiller: NicaraguaBuy this Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-ab-aandb-blindfaithAfter just a few minutes with the cigar, the draw was so tight, I had to use my guillotine to open it up.

At one point, the only thing holding the cigar together was the label. However, the flavors were decent and of leather.Final Thoughts:My particular stick of the Alec & Bradley Blind Faith Robusto was plagued by problems. Uneven burn. A tight draw. And it wouldn't stay lit. And the wrapper cracked several times. This cigar's problems just keep adding up, and the sum is a pretty poor experience.Although I didn't like this particular stick, I think I would like to try another one and give it a second chance.

Before releasing in the United States, the Perdomo Factory Tour Blend was previously only available at the Perdomo factory in Nicaragua after you finished, you guessed it, the factory tour. However, the cigar was so successful for the brand that Nick Perdomo and his team decided to bring the cigar to market.So, after hearing about this cigar from the owner of a lounge here locally, I decided to give the Perdomo Factory Tour Blend Maduro Churchill a try.The first few puffs were really delicious. The wrapper was beautiful, and the mixture of Nicaraguan tobaccos lead to expectations of a wonderful cigar.After smoking about the first inch, the wonderful flavors that got the cigar started, began to fade. Through the middle of the cigar, the draw was a little tight.07:56 - Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut Epicure (Toro): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-perdomo-20th-anniversary-connecticut-epicure/Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage Maduro (Churchill): https://www.cigarscore.com/review-perdomo-double-aged-12-year-vintage-maduro-churchill/Brand: PerdomoLine: Factory Blend MaduroSize: 7 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $9.25Wrapper: NicaraguanBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaBuy this Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-perdomo-factoryblendmaduroCigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Final Thoughts:The first third of the Perdomo Factory Tour Blend Maduro Churchill was delicious. The middle third was ok. And the final third was disappointing. It was like all of the intention to detail went into the first half of the cigar and none was paid to how the smoke finished.While I didn't love this cigar, I suspect, based on my experience with other Perdomo cigars, that other vitolas might be better and the filler/binder/wrapper ration will improve the experience. So, if I can find one, I plan to buy and smoke an epicure (toro) of this same cigar.Because I didn't love the flavors, but because the burn and draw were decent enough, the Perdomo Factory Tour Blend Maduro Churchill earns a CigarScore 3, and I plan on having it again, just in a different size.#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigarsat https://www.cigarscore.com::::: More Cigar Reviews:CigarScore 5 Cigars (Best): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-5/CigarScore 4 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-4/CigarScore 3 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-3/CigarScore 2 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-2/CigarScore 1 Cigars (Worst): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-1/:::::Where I buy my cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/famoussmokePremium Cigar Samplers: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-premiumsamplers:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

I'm always up for a little friendly competition, so when a friend challenged me to find good cigars under $5, I gladly accepted. To find all cigars under $5 that we've reviewed, click here (NOTE: It's a small list).Today we're reviewing a cigar I used to smoke while in college, the Saint Luis Rey Reserva Especial Rothchilde Maduro. While it's a good looking cigar, it's not a cigar that costs a lot.On the cold draw, the tobacco had flavors that were very green. But the draw was perfect. So, can you find good cigars under $5? Let's find out!Cigars Under $10: https://www.cigarscore.com/top-10-cigars-under-10/Rocky Patel Edge Sumatra: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-rp-edgesumatraOriginal Fratello blend: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-fratello-fratello-classic-robusto/Brand: Saint Luis ReyLine: Reserva EspecialSize: 5 x 54Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $4.75Wrapper: Mexican San AndresBinder: NicaraguaFiller: Nicaragua, Peru, HondurasBuy this Cigar: 'https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-slr-reservaespecialCigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Final Thoughts:Although the Saint Luis Rey Reserva Especial is a cigar that costs under $5, it seems to be fairly well made. Though there were some burn issues, they quickly resolved themselves and evened out without me having to do anything.That said, the flavors are just ok. This cigar doesn't taste like it's been sitting in an aging room and maturing for any length of time. However, the flavors aren't harsh or bitter; they just seem green or immature. The flavors I do get from the cigar are of cedar, perhaps some floral notes, and grass. The aroma is nice, but the flavors just aren't doing it for me.But with a good burn and a great price, the Saint Luis Rey Reserva Especial Rothchilde Maduro earns a CigarScore 4.#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigarsat https://www.cigarscore.com::::: More Cigar Reviews:CigarScore 5 Cigars (Best): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-5/CigarScore 4 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-4/CigarScore 3 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-3/CigarScore 2 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-2/CigarScore 1 Cigars (Worst): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-1/:::::Where I buy my cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/famoussmokePremium Cigar Samplers: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-premiumsamplers:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

As soon as I took the Atabey Idolos out of the cellophane, I noticed two things. First, it's a tiny cigar. Second, it smells fantastic.Regarding the rest of the cigar, after using my guillotine cutter, the draw was just about perfect. On the cold draw, there was a recognizable taste that my palate couldn't quite place or define, but it was a little bit floral.But, I'm cautiously optimistic about this cigar - it's small, but it does carry a $21 price tag, so this better be good.04:13 - Acid Kuba Arte Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVJNp1FWmpY05:31 - September LCC Unboxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaocQ7Fti_Q16:34 - Plasencia Alma Fuerte: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-plasencia-alma-fuerte-generacion-v/Brand: AtabeyLine: IdolosSize: 4 x 55Cut: GuillotineLight: MatchesPrice: $21 - Luxury Cigar ClubWrapper: UndisclosedBinder: UndisclosedFiller: UndisclosedSmoke Time: 73 minutesGet 15% off Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/famousCheck out Luxury Cigar Club at https://www.CigarScore.com/LuxuryCigarClubUse promo code CIGARSCORE to get FREE shipping on your first order.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Final Thoughts:About halfway through the cigar, I was able to peel the label off without any trouble at all. Whereas some companies like to slap tons of glue on the label to hold it on, the paper on the Atabey Idolos came off easily.Regarding the flavors, there was no pepper or any spice, but there were hints of cinnamon, cedar. However, on the retrohale, there was a hint of spice that was pleasant.As far as the construction goes, the Idolos was an incredibly well-made cigar. Although the burn wasn't perfect, I was able to smoke right through any issues that arose and stems that might have been slightly more humid than the rest of the wrapper leaf.However, the flavors of the cigar were just okay. If the cigar tasted as good as it smelled, I'd have scored the Atabey Idolos differently, but they weren't. At the end of the day, the Atabey Idolos is a decent cigar at an absurdly high price point. For these reasons, the Idolos earns a CigarScore 3.#CigarScoreTV #LuxuryCigarClub :::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigarsat https://www.cigarscore.com::::: More Cigar Reviews:CigarScore 5 Cigars (Best): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-5/CigarScore 4 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-4/CigarScore 3 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-3/CigarScore 2 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-2/CigarScore 1 Cigars (Worst): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-1/:::::Where I buy my cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/famoussmokePremium Cigar Samplers: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-premiumsamplers:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

If you've been following CigarScore TV for any amount of time, you know I'm a fan of Fratello Cigars. So, when I had the opportunity to smoke the original cigar made by Omar de Frias, I jumped at the chance.The Fratello Fratello has a dark and rich-looking wrapper. With this blend of tobaccos, I expect this cigar to be medium to full-bodied with a fair amount of complexity and hints of spice.Brand: FratelloLine: FratelloSize: 5 1/2 x 52Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $8.30Wrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: Ecuadorian SumatraFiller: Nicaragua, PeruBuy this Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-frtlo-fratelloFinal Thoughts:After enjoying this cigar, I can see how and why the Fratello Fratello launched a successful brand for Omar de Frias. This cigar is delicious. It's complex. It's bold and spicey.However, if you don't like peppery cigars, you probably won't enjoy this one. But, with that said, the price is right for trying and sampling, even if you're not sure you'd love it, because there was a sweetness to the second half of the cigar that was very nice.There are so many things about this cigar that I really liked and I can't wait to smoke another one. For these reasons and because I'd recommend this stick to you, the Fratello Fratello earns a CigarScore 5.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigarsat https://www.cigarscore.com::::: More Cigar Reviews:CigarScore 5 Cigars (Best): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-5/CigarScore 4 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-4/CigarScore 3 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-3/CigarScore 2 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-2/CigarScore 1 Cigars (Worst): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-1/:::::Where I buy my cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/famoussmokePremium Cigar Samplers: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-premiumsamplers:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

Is Mr. Brownstone Under-Rated?The Esteban Carreras Mr. Brownstone is a new brand and a new cigar for me. But, after hearing good things about the Mr. Brownstone and then seeing it on the shelf at a lounge I found on CigarScore.com, I thought I'd pick it up and give it a try. It's hard work, but somebody's gotta do it!The Mr. Brownstone is packaged in an annoyingly difficult paper wrap, and it just might just take you several minutes to carefully extract the cigar inside.However, after you break a sweat peeling the paper off and you finally get to the cigar, you'll notice leafy aromas that might make you think of fall weather. On the first puffs of the cold draw, I got hints of cinnamon spice. The wrapper is dark and oily with veins that have been well dehydrated and pressed. Other than a somewhat tight burn, the Esteban Carreras Mr. Brownstone is off to a decent start.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Esteban CarrerasLine: Mr. BrownstoneSize: 6 x 52Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $9.20Wrapper: United States Connecticut Broadleaf MaduroBinder: Ecuadorian HabanoFiller: NicaraguaGet 15% off Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/famousFinal Thoughts:About half-way through the cigar, the draw opened up and I was able to really enjoy the flavors of the Mr. Brownstone. In the second half, there were more flavors of pepper and spice, but they weren't overwhelming. Additionally, I noticed hints of cinnamon and ginger. If you don't like any pepper in your cigars, you might want to avoid this one, but those flavors were not too strong.In the end, I enjoyed the Esteban Carreras Mr. Brownstone. The flavors were complex, the price was right, the burn was nearly perfect, and the experience was enjoyable. For these reasons, the Mr. Brownstone earns a CigarScore 4.#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.com::::: More Cigar Reviews:CigarScore 5 Cigars (Best): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-5/CigarScore 4 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-4/CigarScore 3 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-3/CigarScore 2 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-2/CigarScore 1 Cigars (Worst): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-1/:::::Where I buy my cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/famoussmokePremium Cigar Samplers: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-premiumsamplers:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

Cornelius & Anthony cigars are not any with which I'm too familiar. But, they've been around since 1866 (it says so right on the label), so I'm expecting a good smoke today!The Cornelius & Anthony The Gent Robusto is a great looking cigar, but there's a vein running down the wrapper that's cause for concern. After cutting the end, the underlying tobacco looks a little bit green. And, after smoking about a quarter of an inch, an uneven burn started to develop.Let's see how this goes...Brand: Cornelius & AnthonyLine: The GentSize: 5 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $9.68 - Luxury Cigar ClubWrapper: Ecuadorian RosadoBinder: United StatesFiller: Nicaragua, HondurasBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-corneliusanthonyCigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Final Thoughts:On one hand, the draw on this cigar has been great. However, the bad initial burn only got worse, and it was obvious this cigar wasn't properly dehumidified and aged.Overall, the Cornelius & Anthony The Gent Robusto is just an "okay" cigar with a great draw and a terrible burn. I didn't love the flavors and I didn't think there was anything special about this cigar or the blend.If you're going to spend time and money on a cigar, I want you to love it. And, because I think you should spend yours on other cigars, the Cornelius & Anthony The Gent earns a CigarScore 2.#CigarScoreTV #LuxuryCigarClub:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigarsat https://www.cigarscore.com::::: More Cigar Reviews:CigarScore 5 Cigars (Best): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-5/CigarScore 4 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-4/CigarScore 3 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-3/CigarScore 2 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-2/CigarScore 1 Cigars (Worst): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-1/:::::Where I buy my cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/famoussmokePremium Cigar Samplers: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-premiumsamplers:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

Continuing my search for the perfect breakfast cigar, I found myself grabbing the Camacho Connecticut Toro. Camacho is a brand I smoked often in the mid-2000s, but after noticing a fluctuation in quality control, I moved on to other manufacturers.But today, I'm smoking a Camacho I've never tried before. The Camacho Connecticut Toro has an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and a blend of Honduran and Dominican tobacco inside. Since there are no Nicaraguan leaves inside, I expect this cigar to be mild and smooth, perfect for pairing with my favorite coffee.Brand: CamachoLine: ConnecticutSize: 6 x 50Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.69]Wrapper: Ecuadorian ConnecticutBinder: Honduran CorojoFiller: Dominican, HonduranBuy this Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-camacho-connecticutCigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Final Thoughts:To be honest, the Camacho Connecticut Toro was a joy to smoke. The burn was perfect. The rollers paid attention to the details. The draw was good. Like I said, a joy to smoke. As I continued through the cigar, the flavors of roasted honey never got bitter and the cigar never got too hot.Because this cigar gets everything right, including a rockstar price point, the Camacho Connecticut Toro earns a CigarScore of 5, and I'm looking forward to enjoying the next one!#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigarsat https://www.cigarscore.com::::: More Cigar Reviews:CigarScore 5 Cigars (Best): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-5/CigarScore 4 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-4/CigarScore 3 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-3/CigarScore 2 Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-2/CigarScore 1 Cigars (Worst): https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-reviews/cigarscore-1/:::::Where I buy my cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/famoussmokePremium Cigar Samplers: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-premiumsamplers:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscore::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.
