More info about purchasing Griffin's Fuerte Robusto...

The Griffin’s Fuerte Robusto is a very decent cigar, it is mild enough to be had as a morning cigar with a cup of coffee but can also be smoked in the evening with a glass of wine. Creamy tobacco flavors with a little spice - a pretty nice bouquet. It is recommended to let this one sit in the humidor for a while for better results.

More info about purchasing Ashton Classic 8-9-8...

The Ashton Classic 8-9-8 was an experimental buy. I wasn’t overly impressed by the look of it, but it was the last one in the box and I was intrigued. It was a pleasant surprise. As a rule I’ve never been much of a morning smoker, but this will eternally be my early morning cigar now.

More info about purchasing Macanudo Maduro cigars...

Unlike the previous Macanudo reviewed on this site, the Prince Philip Maduro at least has some personality. It is not a bad cigar, yet it’s far from being a very good one.

More info about purchasing Montecristo cigars...

In the days to come, I will be publishing a few reviews of cigars that I smoked during my stay in Dubai, UAE. I must say that I was pretty disappointed when I found out that Cuban cigars there cost even more than in France (considering that a pack of cigarettes is 5 times cheaper). That’s why I only smoked one Cuban cigar and that’s the Montecristo No. 4. According to some sources, this is the most sold cigar in the world (I know for sure that this is the second best-selling cigar in France, behind the Partagas Serie D No. 4). It is considered as one of the big classics.

More info about purchasing Padron cigars...

The Padron 5000 was just added to the inventory of my tobacco shop. Of course, I have to try all the new items first. When the owner opened the box it was love at first sight. I just knew that this was going to be a good cigar. I wasn’t disappointed at all.

More info about purchasing Gurkha cigars...

Being a major fan of the Robusto format, I knew from first sight at the tobacco shop that I would be picking up one of the Gurkha Regent Robusto cigars. After trying it, I’m glad I did, though I kind of got mixed feelings on this smoke.

More info about purchasing Carlos Torano Exodus Silver cigars...

This is one of my “go-to” cigars. Its fairly cheap by the box, but if you try and buy it as a single stick its gonna cost you. I have seen these in stores for $6-$8 each, so save some cash and buy a box if you like em enough. The box comes with a humi-pack so you can be assured that your cigars will be kept at 69%, which is important because these gars are very sensitive to overheating due to low humidity.

More info about purchasing Rocky Patel Vintage 1990...

It is close to impossible to get Rocky Patel cigars in Europe, but fortunately my friends from the US sometimes bring me some interesting specimens. The Vintage 1990 line is getting a lot of coverage online and I was anxious to try it out.
