More info about purchasing Rocky Patel Drew Estate Java...

I had never had a Rocky Patel cigar before and was interested in trying one. The description of it included a dark wrapper with flavors of coffee and mocha. In fact Rocky Patel says that the wrapper is “gently infused” with Java. I prefer maduro cigars so I thought I’d try one.

More info about purchasing VegaFina cigars...

I initially planned to review another petit corona, but (I am getting used to it…) my local B&M ran out of those and I ended up buying a few VegaFina Short Coronas, since they were cheap and reminded me of my good experiences with the Robusto. Back home, I went to the Altadis website to get some more information about this stick and I was quite surprised to see that it was not even there and the cigars listed definitely had a brighter wrapper shade. After some research, I found out that indeed the cigars sold in Europe are completely different: instead of an Ecuadorian claro wrapper, a maduro oscuro from Brazil is used and the filler is Dominican/Peruvian (vs Columbian/Dominican/Honduran in the US). However, both cigars are hecho a mano in la Tabacalera de Garcia in the Dominican Republic.

More info about purchasing Camacho cigars...

Camacho Havana H2 is one fat and powerful smoke. It’s not as kick-a$$ as the Camacho Corojo Monarca, but they still are quite full-bodied. Regular cedary and spicy flavors make it a nice 40-minutes short smoke.

More info about purchasing Ramon Allones cigars...

RASS a.k.a Ramon Allones Specially Selected being one of my all-time favorite Cuban cigars, my expectations concerning its little brother were high. Perhaps I was unlucky, but unfortunately the Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas was far behind it. Please note that I didn’t smoke a whole box of these and this review is based on 4 cigars.

More info about purchasing Camacho Corojo cigars...

Camacho Corojo Monarca must be one of the most full-bodied cigars that I ever smoked. Its power is simply overwhelming, this toy might easily knock you down. Fine construction most of the time and the looks are also satisfying. A decent cigar overall.

More info about purchasing Padron cigars...

Padron 2000 must be my favorite everyday cigar. What I especially appreciate is its consistency - I am always getting a good draw, a regular burn, and a nice (although not too complex) pack of flavors. And impressive clouds of smoke that make me look like a ‘goodfella’…

More info about purchasing Arturo Fuente Cuban Corona cigars...

Arturo Fuente Cuban Corona is a decent cigar for the average cigar smoker, not too strong, not too lite, with just enough character to make it stand out among the other Arturo Fuente products.

More info about purchasing Macanudo Robust cigars...

Macanudo is one of the brands I was eager to try, since a lot of people are searching for “macanudo” here at Cigar Inspector. As soon as I had an opportunity, I got myself a few of Hampton Courts (tubos) for about 6 USD each. According to Leafy Times, the Robust line is the most interesting although I can’t say that I was impressed with this cigar.
