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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
With Christmas around the corner, I decided to order St. Nicks Stash for me and my husband to enjoy over the holidays! Im super excited to receive it! I think he will be pleasantly surprised as well!
People say that Connecticut cigars are just morning cigars. I disagree.Now don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a light Connecticut in the mornings like a lot of people, but this isn't just another shade cigar. Drew Estate created a shade cigar that has so...
Hi Cigora Community, hope everyone is doing well! I'm debating which cigar will disappear from the "humidor collective" this afternoon. Any thoughts?Friday Afternoon's ChoicesAsh well and often,Mr. Cru RoyaleCC: @gabriellepyne @KevinI @matthewp @Sand...
Had to take my time with a long smoke this evening to prepare for the madness that will be Thanksgiving morning as I try to get everything ready for the big feast. What is everybody else smoking?
THE GOOD STUFF:Caldwell cigars is the brain child of Robert Caldwell who is best know for his partnership with Christian Eiroa running Wynwood cigars. Last year the partnership had dissolved and Robert has since teamed up with Henderson and William V...
Has anyone tried the new Buffalo Trace Special F? Can't believe the tobacco was aged in actual Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels.
Jon Huber, Mike Conder, and Ernesto Perez-Carillo.That's all you need to know about the Crowned Heads Four Kicks Maduro to understand that this is an amazing cigar!
Im about to light up an Kings Gold this evening! HBU?
I smoke a lot of big brand stuff - CAO, Perdomo, Rocky Patel. I want to try some smaller batch brands, but don't know where to start. Any recommendations?
What are you smoking for Halloween?
