Oak Glen Tobacconist

Dissident

With 17 months of rest, the flavors are now a little more pronounced. The aroma is still sweet, while the flavor notes are primarily of cocoa and toasted wood. Some baking spice comes through on the retro, which I did not recognize before. The draw is smooth and open with an almost perfect burn.

Aganorsa Leaf

A pretty simple cigar. The flavor starts out with a strong profile of nuttiness that allows baking spice to gradually build as it burns down. Although the burn line was perfect, the draw was incredibly loose and produced very little smoke. This caused it to need help staying lit.

Warped

This is a smooth but full little cigar. The notes consist of leather, wood, and spices. Although the burn tended to wave a little, the draw stayed clean and super smokey. A good quicker smoke.

Received this as a pre-release before the bands were in place. Starts of with that super grassy notes from the candela foot, then blends in with dark earth and bold black pepper. It stays spicy to the end. Soft construction, but the draw and burn stayed adequate.

Aganorsa Leaf

Repeated review. Might just be my favorite from Aganorsa. Incredible cigar, full of various notes including nuts, earth, and mild pepper. An aged tobacco tone remains present as well. Perfect draw and great burn.

Pretty consistent review here, with a profile full off wood, cocoa, leather, & earth. The draw remained smooth all the way, while the burn only need a couple minor touch-ups. A good bolder smoke.

Repeated review, this one with a year of rest. The profile brings out a smooth & sweet caramel flavor with a little woodsy taste on the back end. Clean draw and almost a perfect burn. Love the appearance representation of the name.

Aganorsa Leaf

Repeated and consistent review. This one had 9 months of rest time. The blend is super smooth with plenty of flavor, including wood, pepper, and spice. Solid construction creates a clean draw and even burn.

Dry in texture, this cigar brings out full bold flavors of leather, cocoa, and earth. Extra hits of black pepper really only appear on the retro. The construction presents a super sharp boxpressed finish with a smooth draw and clean burn.

Repeated review. The profile is full of earth, woodsiness, and sweet pepper. Oily to the touch and proper construction with a slight rustic look. The draw was super smooth this time, but the burn needed a few minor corrections.

Continued review. Smooth chocolate and spice with back notes of light toast. Very good draw and burn throughout. Unfortunately the wrapper cracked on this one, but it still managed to draw and burn decent enough. Something I have not yet experienced on this blend.

Aganorsa Leaf

Consistent & smooth blend. Notes this time consist of leather, sweet tobacco/wood, and some spice. Perfect draw and a very clean burn. Always a very clean appearance.

Black Works Studio

This is an incredibly appealing cigar due to its triple wrapper. The draw was super smooth and burn was flawless. In terms of flavor, notes of creamy white chocolate mix interestingly with a hit that reminds me of ginger spice. Such an intriguing cigar overall.

The cigar starts out smooth and gradually increases in intensity, bringing flavors of cinnamon, coffee, and the pepper that grows the more you smoke it. The draw is open with just the right amount of resistance and an absolutely perfect burn.

Second review. The profile is full of creamy wood tones with a smooth hit of black pepper. The burn was perfect with a very smooth draw, even thought it seemed spongy. Clean appearance.

Black Works Studio

This is a full flavored rendition of the NBK, where the barber pole creation allows flavors of wood, coffee, and cedar. Periodically, hits of citrus tones will appear as well. The draw is slightly tight with resistance but produces a lot of smoke. The burn did need a couple touch-ups along the way.

Black Works Studio

As the name implies, this blend portrays an intense amount of black pepper. Secondary notes of dark chocolate come through as well. The candela mix in the rapper doesn't really seem to show up much. Easy draw and even burn.

Dissident

Consistent duplicated review. This one is always a reliable cigar. Smooth chocolate and spice with back notes of light toast. Very good draw and burn throughout. The smaller size brings a little tighter draw but is still very acceptable.

Stolen Throne

An easy open draw, with notes of wood, leather, and spice. Although it burns quick, the smoke output is insane for the size. The retro is insanely spicy as well. Elegant appearance in general.

Second review. Still a smooth barberpole. The aroma is sweet, but smoking flavors still consist primarily of cocoa and toasted wood. Unlike the last one I smoked, this one is almost weightless like it's missing a leaf and has an over-airy draw. Somehow the burn stayed level.

Dissident

A fantastic cigar full of creamy wood tones with a smooth hit of black pepper. The burn was perfect with a very smooth draw. Clean appearance and solid construction.

This makes for an interesting barber pole. The aroma is sweet, but that does not translate into the flavors once it is lit up. Notes are primarily of cocoa and toasted wood. The draw is smooth and open with an almost perfect burn.
