Boxpressd Road Trippin'

Gran Habano

This cigar is about 18 years old, from before the name was changed to 3 SLS. Slap full of wood, leather, and spices. Construction was fantastic, leading to a clean draw and burn. All that age did this one justice,!

601

Consistent review, now with over 2 years rest on the box. A super smooth profile with a balance of pepper & spice. A very slow & level burn this time but the draw was just a little tight. Construction is firm as usual.

Plasencia

Repeat cigar, a year of rest this time. Full of spice with a subtle blend of nuts and honey. Insanely smokey with a clean pull. The draw was just about perfect. Unfortunately, this one didn't want to stay lit and needed several corrections.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

Consistent review. There's 2 years of rest time on this one. A very smooth & flavorful cigar with a great blend of chocolate, coffee, earth, and a touch of pepper. Absolutely perfect draw and very decent burn on this one.

Cigar Bundles of Miami

First time with this new blend, and it sure is interesting. The notes from all the various wrappers come through in full force. Sweetness, spice, pepper, grassy notes - all coming in and out of frame. The wrappers never unraveled, as the construction was done well. Smooth draw and a lot of smoke.

Tatuaje

This version of the Cojonu is a very smooth rendition. The profile is very creamy in general, with just a touch of making slice mixed in. Slight hits of chocolate appear at times. The burn is clean, and the draw is open.

Macanudo

An easy quick cigar with a well balanced profile of sweet coffee, a little nuttiness, and a blackened note of red pepper. The draw was super clean, but the burn needed a couple corrections.

Illusione

Consistent review, now with 2+ years of age on the box. Great construction and smooth draw. Flavor portrays woodsy & earthy tones with notes of dry cocoa. There's a chalky texture to the smoke. Very clean burn.

Warped

This is quickly becoming a consistent favorite. The flavors are primarily of super creamy tobacco with a blend of various baking spices. The draw and burn were both almost perfect due to solid construction.

Adventura

A very reliable, duplicate and consistent review. Creamy light pepper with a ton of smoke output! Extra notes of spice and wood also come through. The retro is smooth with a balanced tone of pepper. A perfectly even burn with a smooth draw due to solid construction.

Henry Clay

Continued review with a great deal of rest time. The profile brings out spiced cedar with creamy undertones. The draw is clean with a lot of smoke production. The construction was solid, while the burn remained perfect.

Don Pepin Garcia

An absolutely fantastic smoke! The flavor profile consists of bold cedar, leather, and well blended black pepper. The retro brings out that pepper without becoming harsh. The draw is open with a ton of smoke, and the burn is fairly decent.

Espinosa

After 2.5 years, it was time to try this one again. The first time around the blend was odd and made no sense. This time, the spicy mix alongside the candela seemed to be blended much better and worked very well. Burn was perfect, but unfortunately the draw was super tight no matter how much I used a poker.

Cavalier

Repeated review. Consistently, this would be rated higher but every one has burned very rough. At least the draw is open & airy. The profile consists of dark chocolate, leather, sweet vanilla, and a touch of clove.

Divine Leaf

Unlike the OG2 Red counterpart, there wasn't much flavor to this profile. What did exist was a very small amount of sweet bread with something nutty. Every now and then I would recognize a little baking spice, but all these notes barely existed. Although the cap end of the cigar looked a little rough, the draw and burn were very acceptable.

Rocky Patel

This cigar turned out to be better than expected. The overall flavor profile consisted of caramel and spice with some earthy undertones. The draw was open and produced a ton of smoke while the burn stayed even, needing no corrections.

Adventura

Consistent & nearly duplicate review of a very enjoyable cigar! Smooth notes of chocolate, leather, caramel and coffee come through. Added subtleties of toast and spice show up as well. Great construction and draw, with an incredibly even burn.

CAO

With about 15 months of rest, I believe this is my first time trying this blend. The flavor profile stayed the same the whole time, but was full of sweet toast and black pepper. The retro was more of a baking spice than any pepper. The burn needed a couple corrections, but the draw was very smooth.

Warfighter

Most of the cigar was full of spice and leather. The draw was open, as expected for lancero, while the burn kept waving all over the place. The longer the cigar burned, the more peppery it became.

601

Consistent review. The flavor brings strong red pepper with notes of cocoa, leather, and coffee. A very smokey cigar the entire way. An easy draw with decent smoke. The burn tried to run this time but corrected itself.

Fortaleza Y Libre

Consistent reviews. This one is a rather bold, smokey, and peppery blend. Notes of earth and spice pick up gradually the more you smoke down. The draw stayed openly smooth and consistent, but the burn needed a few corrections.

AVO

Slightly better than the last time I tried the XO. Flavor notes include leather, bread, and subtle slide. The draw was very smooth, and the burn was a little bit of this time, even though it was trying to run some.

West Tampa Cigar Co

This little guy had an overall dry powdery texture to the smoke, leading to flavors of earth and just a tad of pepper. The draw started right but soon opened up nicely. The burn would wave but self-correct.

La Barba

This was smoother than expected, which creamy notes of leather and wood. Pops of pepper would appear at times but quickly fade away. The draw was very open but the burn remained even throughout.

Mark Twain

The Country Squire

Second review. The construction is firm, but the draw was tight and needed some poker help. The flavor profile is nutty with a darker hit of coffee and earth. Black pepper comes through on the retro once the draw is opened up. The burn line stayed even until the last third.

Carlos Torano

Continued review. The profile remains of wood & citrus, with a little leather underneath. The draw is easy, and the burn was fairly decent. A more basic smoke that seems to stay reliable.

Diesel

A fairly simple cigar in terms of flavor, which mostly just included dark coffee and some saltiness. It was full in body but not particularly too strong. The draw was great, but the burn was absolutely horrible, needing corrections every inch to keep it from running fast on one side.

CAO

Repeatedly consistent review. Dry leather & espresso profile. The draw & burn were absolutely perfect on this one. Construction was solid as generally expected.

Oliva

Revisited after a couple of years. A dark and oily cigar, with deep bold flavors of earth and coffee. Nothing bitter like the last time I tried it. The draw was very smooth, but the burn did need a little help.
