Bolivar

One of my go-to cigars with 2 years of rest on it. The flavors bring aged tobacco with a touch of sweet cedar, clean spice, and notes of molasses. Firm construction, smooth draw, and a decent burn.

Oliva

Continued & duplicate review. 21 months rest now, and they've been really consistent since the one year mark. The flavor is full of nuts, sweet spice and pepper. The draw is smooth, the burn was very even, and the smoke output is solid.

Camacho

Repeated review with 20 months of rest. This cigar provides some sweetness while also full of coffee, chocolate, and wood tones. The draw was smooth on this one with a very decent burn line.

Camacho

Repeated review, just over 18 months of rest. A full strength cigar that provides some sweetness while full of coffee, chocolate, and wood tones. The draw was tight this time, but it still managed to smoke ok.

Diesel

Continued & duplicate review. Dark bold profile, full of coffee, black pepper, and spices. The tight clean draw still allowed a ton of smoke. Solid construction and elegant appearance. The burn did need a little help as before.

Camacho

Often repeated review. The flavors are always good, but this is one of the most inconsistently constructed cigars from Camacho. The flavor brings out leather and sweet pepper with a rugged appearance. The draw was smooth this time, but the burn was absolutely horrible and continued to run fast on one side needing many corrections.

Oliva

Continued & duplicate review. 16 months rest now, and they're been dead consistent since the one year mark. The flavor is full of nuts, sweet spice and pepper. The draw is smooth, the burn is fairly even, and the smoke output is solid.

I put off buying one of these for over a year because I thought the name was stupid. I still think the name is dumb but the smoke is just as enjoyable as what it’s named after and I am a lover of a good steak. Definitely plan on getting some more of these.

Diesel

Continued review. Super bold profile, full of coffee, black pepper, and various spices. The boxpressed feel enables a clean draw with a ton of smoke. Solid construction and elegant appearance. The burn wouldn't stay even, but it still smoked well.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

Repeated review, a very reliable smoke. The flavor is a steady blend of earth and spice. Construction is always solid, as the burn and draw remain smooth and even.

Camacho

Repeated review. A well blended profile of leather and sweet pepper. The wrapper appearance is rugged but smokes fairly decent. The draw was im smooth, and the burn only needed a couple touch-ups.

Camacho

Consistent review, just over a year of rest. A full strength cigar that provides just a touch of sweetness while being full of coffee, chocolate, and woodsiness. The draw was tighter this time than before, but it didn't hinder the flavors and it still burned well.

I've had this plan many times, but this may be the first time in the Gordo. Still mild at first, but the sweet spice gradually comes up to get your attention. There's a little earthiness that comes through with that spice mix. The retro is intense but remains smooth. Perfect draw and fast burn, but excellent construction.

Diesel

Continued & similar review. Super bold profile, full of coffee, black pepper, and various spices. The tight box-press format creates a clean draw with a ton of smoke. Solid construction and elegant appearance. The burn did need a little help as one side kept trying to run.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

Repeat review, with a slight modification. Perfect burn this time with a clean draw. Blended flavor of chocolate, coffee, earth, and a touch of pepper. However, there were some horribly bitter & fermented notes this time that usually aren't present.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

Been awhile since I've had this one. The mellow body provides an easy balance of coffee with subtle hints of sweet chocolate. There is no harsh bite and the burn was incredibly even. The draw was more open in this vitola.

American Viking

Great smoke with a leather flavor. Some pepper as well.

Oliva

Continued review, now with a full year of rest. This seems to be the consistency point. The flavor is full of nuts, sweet spice and pepper. The draw is smooth, the burn is fairly even, and the smoke output is solid. The box seems to have smoothed out for sure.

Camacho

Repeated review. A well blended profile of leather and sweet pepper. The wrapper appearance is rugged but smokes fairly decent. The draw was incredible but the burn refused to stay under control, needing multiple corrections, just like before.

Diesel

Continued review. Super bold profile, full of coffee, black pepper, and various spices. The box-press format enables a clean draw with a ton of smoke. Solid construction and elegant appearance. The burn had several runs this time that had to be corrected.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

Repeated review. Seemingly light-hearted at first, but the sweet spice gradually comes up to get your attention. There's a little earthiness that shines through as well. The retro is more intense than expected but remains smooth. Perfect draw and great burn, excellent construction.

Warfighter

Great smoke. Even burn. Maybe a faster burn than others but just right for a day tending the smoker. I got a leather flavor. I’m a new smoker so that’s the best I can detect for now. I enjoyed this cigar and will definitely purchase again.

El Rey del Mundo

Amazing cigar for the price!

Camacho

Repeated review. A well blended profile of leather and sweet pepper. The wrapper appearance is rugged but smokes fairly decent. The draw was incredible but the burn refused to stay under control, needing multiple corrections.

Oliva

Continued review, now with 9 months of rest. The flavor remains full of nuts, sweet spice and pepper. The draw is smoother now, the burn is fairly even, and the smoke output is solid. The box seems to have another out well now.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

Consistent review. A very steady smoke balanced with earth & spice. The draw is smooth but slightly airy, and the burn stays true. Clean appearance and solid construction. A reliable everyday smoke.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

Consistent review. DELICIOUS. Notes of toasted pepper and seasoning or spice. Rich tobacco stays true throughout the entire smoke. Straight forward flavors. Immaculate construction, great draw, and a pretty even burn.

Camacho

A well blended profile of leather and sweet pepper. Although this blend has a more veiny wrapper than the others in the "color core" series, it still smokes very well. The draw was incredibly and the burn stayed very even.

Camacho

Repeat review. A full strength cigar that provides just a touch of sweetness while being full of coffee, chocolate, and woodsiness. A smooth draw and burn creates an exciting smoke session.
