Adventura

Consistent & duplicate review. 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.

Adventura

Second time smoking this one in the short belicoso. Smooth blend of nuts, chocolate & carmel-like sweetness. Very smooth overall, with a perfect draw, clean burn, and good construction.

Definition

An absolutely incredible blend from DC. The profile provides a massive hit of cocoa alongside wood tones and heavy baking spices. The construction is firm with a dark wrapper, giving a good amount of spoke output. Burn and draw were both very clean.

Diesel

Here's a fairly simple cigar, perfect for the times you need to multi-task. The profile brings out balanced spice and cedar, with not much hitting the retrohale. Construction was firm, smoke output was pretty decent, and the burn was absolutely perfect.

Apostate

This is a fun concept. No released info, as each blend could be a surprise. This one presented tons of cocoa and spice, with undertones of black pepper that never gets bitter. The draw was smooth, even in this smaller size, with a perfect draw.

Deadwood Tobacco

As expected from this line, the sweetened tip still exists. However, this was a darker version of the original that helped to pull back some of that sweetness. The construction was made very well. There were some good notes of cocoa blended in, but this is still not a cigar I would generally return to.

Eiroa

Such a dark oily cigar, reminiscent of dark espresso. There were added notes of black pepper & earth as well. Even in the smaller size, the smoke output was strong. The construction was done very well, leading to an absolutely perfect burn.

Asylum

Not my general cup of tea, but this cigar seemed to be made rather well. The sweetened tip was not overpowering, and the tobacco notes behind it were smooth. There wasn't much flavor to it though, not the burn was almost perfect.

Legendary Cigars

First time smoke here, acquired from PCA26. This is a milder smoke that performed quite well. The profile consists of a sweet bread, a little toast, and a subtle bit of spice. Almost nothing comes through the retro. The draw is clean with a fairly decent burn.

Linga Cigar

This is an absolutely odd cigar in terms of flavor. The profile is heavily floral and salty, with a zing left on the tongue. The floral notes are seriously overpowering. Construction is great though, with a very clean burn.

CAO

First time trying the Noche, and it is a dark out blend full of bold coffee notes. The profile is extended with a strong black pepper retro. There is a ton of smoke thanks to a smooth draw.

Adventura

Consistent review, a very reliable smoke! Dark chocolate and espresso are prominent in a very bold experience, with a clean burn and appearance. Smooth draw & firm construction.

Adventura

Consistent review. Heavy notes of wood, spice, and pepper are blended together completely from the first draw. The pull is smooth with an incredibly even burn throughout. The retro is smoother than would be expected. The burn was absolutely perfect.

Adventura

A very reliable, duplicate and consistent review. Duplicate review. Creamy light pepper with a ton of smoke. 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.

Jake Wyatt

The appearance is fantastic, as expected. The flavor is not the bitter grass that some candelas have. Instead, there were creamy notes of pepper and cedar. Unfortunately, this one kept tunneling and required constant relighting as the burn was rough.

Adventura

Consistent & duplicated review! Starting out with a hit of spice, the cigar gradually mellows down to a super smooth blend of sweet molasses with hints of coffee in the background. An absolute flawless burn with a very adequate draw.

Ohana Nui

Duplicated review! A solid and consistently repeated review. The flavor on this one is slap full of dark chocolate and graham cracker sweetness. There are no harsh notes at all, and the oily wrapper enables a super smooth draw. Purchased at NFG25.

Cavalier

This is a super creamy blend, with notes of toast and subtle spice. Although there wasn't a lot of smoke output, the draw stayed smooth with a decent burn that needed a couple minor corrections.

Eiroa

5 years of rest. From PCA 2021 - smoked at PCA 2026. The cigar is incredibly smooth, with floral and sweet spice notes leading the way. The draw was very smooth, but the burn needed a few minor adjustments. A good cigar worth relaxing with.

Ohana Nui

This is absolutely incredible! The blend is bold yet smooth, with deep notes of cocoa & cedar. Gentle pops of spice appear without getting bitter. The draw is very smooth with a great burn.

AVO

Although soft in construction, the burn stayed level enough to get a good consistent smoke. The flavor profile portrayed coffee, leather, and some cinnamon type spice. Not a great cigar, but a good one in general.

Colonel EH Taylor

Received at PCA, but I wasn't too impressed with this one unfortunately. Although the construction & burn was practically immaculate, there was almost zero flavor to the profile.
