La Palina

Second review, now with 19 months rest. The first time last year, the flavor profile was quite odd. Flavor consists of earth, mineral and spice. This profile has smooth out quite a bit better than the last experience. However, the draw and burn were still nice with a lot of smoke output.

Padilla

First off, the draw is open and smoke output is insane. In terms of flavor, there's a strong blend of creamy maple, red pepper, and some earth. Some other spices lay underneath, but I couldn't pinpoint them. The burn only needed a couple minor touch-ups.

El Viejo Continente

Third review, now at 19 months rest. A decent budget priced cigar. The flavor consists of spice, leather, and a little creaminess. The draw was much smoother now. Burn still tended to waiver but only needed minor corrections.

Simple cigar that can change a little on each one. Basic profile of earth and pepper. A budget stick that smokes well for the low price. Although simple on flavor, it burns and draws well.

BDL

Repeated review, now with 18 months rest. It seems like this is the rest point where it's consistent. A smooth draw and perfect burn now. The profile consists primarily of sweet subtle pepper, with just a tad bit of wood coming through.

Caldwell

Not sure I'm gonna get any more of these. But I have enjoyed them.

La Palina

The Rosado variant has prominent notes of baking spices blended with some cocoa and leather. The draw was clean, producing decent smoke, with a perfect burn. A simpler blend that performed well.

La Palina

With 18 months of rest, this blend hit a new mark of flavor compared to the previous ones from this pack. The smooth flavor of leather and baking spice was increased. The draw had a slight resistance due to firm construction, but the burn was absolutely perfect.

Rocky Patel

This was a surprise. Normally not a rocky fan but was part of a sampler. Wood cedar and baking spice. Incredible construction burn and draw.

Oliva

Smooth start light for a Maduro very consistent draw. Used bullet cutter to burn a little hotter and did not affect the flavor.

La Palina

This is a much better cigar than anticipated. The profile is bold with dark chocolate and espresso notes, with a touch of some wood tones. The draw was smooth with a ton of smoke output, with a burn that stayed incredibly even.

Ozgener

The B50 is a short snack of a cigar. It's a sunny day in Seattle. With this spiced cigar and a great beer, it's feeling a bit like Maui. Recommended 👍 Good vibes, good times.

La Aurora

Simply fantastic cold burn perfect construction. Creamy goodness. I'll be stocking these going forward.

Aganorsa Leaf

Due to the budget quality of this particular smoke, it changes a little each time, although the flavor is generally of earth and pepper. This one was a little soft in construction so it smoked fast, but the burn actually stayed pretty decent.

El Viejo Continente

Unfortunately, there's really not too much to this particular blend in the line. The profile brings out a very subtle touch of wood, but there's nothing else until the very end where a little bit of baking spice appears. Although the construction felt soft, the draw was smooth and the burn was adequate. Unfortunately the lack of flavor brings this one down a bit.

La Barba

First time having the orange blend in the Ricochet line. The profile is an interesting mix - sweet fruit, cedar, and some earthiness. The draw was very smooth with a perfect burn. Although the flavor mix was odd, it was still a solid smoke.

H. Upmann

Consistent & reliable review. A smooth blend of wood, pepper, and leather. Bold without being harsh. A smooth draw and pretty consistent burn until the end. A simple cigar worth coming back to from time to time.

La Palina

Duplicated review, being very consistent after that one year of rest hit. Honey, cinnamon, spice, & cedar blended together very well. The draw was great, and the burn was very even throughout.

La Aurora

Normally a very reliable cigar, this one was a fluke with a terrible burn. I spent most of the cigar correcting a one sided deep run. Luckily, the flavor stayed as expected with a blend of coffee, wood, and leather notes. The pepper still came through on the retro.

Joya de Nicaragua

Good flavor but mild, with a hard draw. It could be a great everyday short smoke, but it’s missing flavor.

Repeated review. Rich tobacco and dark creamy chocolate are paramount in this one. Deep flavor stays while not becoming bitter. Very little pepper is noted. Great draw and the burn stayed decent with 2 years rest.
