Davidoff has been long renowned for the mellow-bodied, Connecticut-wrapped masterpieces like Aniversario, Gran Cru, and Signature, but with their full-bodied experiment of Davidoff Nicaragua, they pushed themselves into uncharted territories. Davido...
It's pretty evident that the team over at Drew Estate is constantly experimenting and no series of releases showcases this sentiment better than the Liga Privada Unico Serie. Bold and full-bodied, yet surprisingly elegant, the blends from the Unico ...
The intent of the original Guardian of the Farm release back in 2016 was to honor the unsung heroes of AGANORSA's tobacco farms - the dogs who valiantly protect their prized fields. A collaboration between AGANORSA and Kyle Gellis of Warped, Guardia...
It's really hard for me to consider Warped as a "boutique" brand nowadays, which ultimately can be considered a ode to the success of the brand over the past decade. They started out small, as all companies do, but with top notch blends and a modern...
I don't know Dion Giolito personally, but from what I can gather from reading and talking to people around the industry about him, is that he is truly a student of tobacco and cigars. As a lifelong fan of the brand, Giolito purchased OneOff back in ...
Hello everyone!Summer is rapidly approaching! It is personally my favorite time of the year. What kind of cigars are you all looking to try this summer? Here are the ones I want to try while relaxing poolside, or on a balcony looking at the ocean:-Vi...
Anyone who is anyone knows Tatuaje for their industry defining limited edition releases like the Monster Series, Cohetes, and Pork Tenderloin, but their core lines, like Havana VI, that have built the company into the giant that it is today, always ...
I've been a fan of ADVentura for some time now, so when the opportunity to bring in this exclusive size of The Explorer came around, there wasn't a second thought. The Explorer has always been my favorite blend from the brand, and when Henderson Ven...
Whenever I do any kind of review on a cigar (even if it's short one like this), it's typically not my first time smoking the blend. In the case of Wildfire The Single though, this was the first opportunity I had gotten to smoke this cigar, so I real...
After a fierce and competitive competition, we can now crown our inaugural Cigar Mania Champion: Aladino Cameroon! It was a tough road as it was pitted head-to-head against some of the industry's most beloved blends like Liga Privada H99, Dunbarton ...
....and I wanted to say thank you for being huge supporters of Viaje! Y'all are my new go-to for all things Viaje and soon-to-be my one stop for all things Warped. Cheers!
Almost every year since 2016, Viaje has released their Birthday Blend to celebrate the company's owner and founder, Andre Farkas - something I don't recall seeing any other cigar brand do. This year, Viaje Birthday Blend was released in two differe...
Welcome to Cigora’s first annual Cigar Mania! We have picked 16 of our favorite blends, ranked them 1-16 (based on our staff’s consensus rankings), and smoked them head-to-head in win-or-go-home fashion, where only one cigar could come out on top as...
Right off the light, dark cocoa is very evident. Very smooth for a cigar loaded for bear. If you're having it for breakfast, it's got a nicotine kick that if you paired with coffee, will have you shaking in the shower when reaching for the body wash....
Maybe it's not the flashiest or cleverly designed cigar that Viaje has put out, but I can confirm that Private Keep Lemon delivers everything that I want and expect in a cigar - solid construction, nuance, and the perfect balance of sweet and spicy....
I know I tend to be pretty dramatic when it comes to cigars, but Fiat Lux is undoubtedly the best blend in Luciano's portfolio at this point in time. To take it even one step further, it's easily one of the best Sumatra-wrapped blends in all of ciga...
The line is similar to the more famous sisters in the Deadwood family. Having never smoked other Deadwood's (Leather Rose, Sweet Jane, Fatt Bottom Betty & Crazy Alice), I didn't really have a reference point but overall I enjoyed the cigar, like the ...
ADVentura has been able to solidify their position as a major player in the boutique space of cigars with blends like The Royal Return King's Gold. The combination of Henderson Ventura's blending expertise and Marcel Knobel's ability to build and ma...
Hello everyone!Just wanted to ask if anyone tried any new cigars recently? I got the chance to try the RoMa Craft CroMagnon this weekend and I highly suggest trying it if you haven't already!
It's funny how fate works.Just last week somebody was asking me if I had smoked the Romeo black, and I told that person that I used to smoke a lot of them a long time ago and for some reason I stopped smoking them.I was digging through one of my misc...
For me, Leaf by Oscar Sumatra may very well be my favorite blend of the series. It was rich, and sweet with nuanced notes of caramel, cinnamon, cedar and roasted pistachios that provided a medium to full bodied experience that was brimming with flav...
If you can go back in time to when you smoked your first cigar, knowing what you know now, having tried as many different cigars as you have as of now, would you say you are happy with the first cigar you ever smoked? Personally, I still smoke the fi...
What is your favorite sampler you've tried and loved (or just browsed through) on Cigora? I really like the beginner cigar sampler.Great variety -IMO
I am generally very partial to Connecticut blends and mild smokes, but I want to venture into the bolder tobacco. Any suggestions?
Whether you're sitting in a lounge, cleaning the garage, or running HDMI cable, smoke the best cigar you can.If you prefer a $2 cigar, that's fine. If you prefer a $10 AVO, that's also fine.It's hot inside the new lounge, so I didn't want anything bo...
Just going over my weekly knee exercises and enjoying a Don Pepin Garica Blue Generosos. Don Pepin has made some amazing cigars over the years, but I always go back to the classic blue. It's an $8 Nicaraguan Puro that smokes like a $20 cigar.So, you ...
I was looking at the New Years sampler, which cigar is your favorite in this haul?
It's not often that I come across a cigar I've never heard of before. It's even more rare if that never heard of cigar is affiliated with the Oliva Tobacco Family, Raul Disla, and the NACSA Factory. But here I am, smoking the Lattitude Zero. A $5 ish...
With winter upon us, I find myself outback smoking much less frequently. I have a decently shaded patio with outdoor heaters, and I live in the desert, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t get cold. We hit 26 degrees just last night. During the colder ti...
