The Aurora 107 line was released earlier this year to commemorate the 107 years of cigar making (see release announcement). The original release included three vitolas among which today’s Robusto; since then, they have added a Lancero and a Corona at this year’s IPCPR in New Orleans.

More info about purchasing Panacea cigars...

The Panacea Red is the second blend from the Flatbed Cigar Company. Billed as a bolder, more full-bodied blend their website tells us we can expect all the great flavors of the Panacea Black Maduro only in a fuller, stronger experience. Read about my experience with the Black Maduro here, and if you are unfamiliar with the Flatbed Cigar Company and Panacea cigars, check out my review of the Panacea Black Natural here. The Red changes things up a bit with the introduction of a Habano binder and plenty of Ligero tobacco. The wrapper is the same dark Brazilian Maduro that is used on the Panacea Black Maduro. The 560 is a big beefy cigar and the guys at Flatbed decided it needed its own band that is more appropriate for a cigar of this girth, “We also gave it a different style Black Label band better suited for a big-ole cigar.”

Thanks to Prometheus Cigars for providing this sample for review!

After having my first God of Fire several months back and finding it an absolutely heavenly experience actually worthy of the hype, I found myself quite excited to sample Keith Park's newest line. While several reviews touched on the Angelenos cigar line, they seemed rather sparse and far between. Wondering if I had gotten my hands on a yet to be known gem or simply an unsought after stick, I set out to find out where Angelenos cigars stand.

More info about purchasing Panacea cigars...

Panacea cigars are a product from the Flatbed Cigar Company. I gave a rundown of the outfit in my review of the Panacea Black Natural that I posted recently. Give it a read if you need or want to know more about them, or just visit their website. The Black label line was their first, initial release with an Ecuadorian grown Connecticut Shade wrapper. The line was quickly expanded to include a maduro-wrapped version of the blend. That is what I am smoking today.

More info about purchasing Arturo Fuente Hemingway cigars...

Even new cigar enthusiasts seem to know all about the legendary and elusive Hemingway Maduros and the Work of Art tends to be one of the most coveted of that group. Given that fact, I am not going to bore everyone with a lot of fluff on this review. If you don’t know about them, a quick Google search will tell you all you need to know. It seems like a lot of cigar smokers, especially the newer ones who haven’t had a chance to try these, go to great lengths to run the Hemingway Maduros down. If you haven’t had the pleasure of a Hemingway Maduro, the thing you need to be aware of is that they only come out twice a year. Just before Fathers’ Day and again just before the Christmas Holidays. Those are the times to be on the lookout for them.

More info about purchasing Panacea cigars...

I was recently contacted by a gentleman named Paul Bush, owner of the Flatbed Cigar Company. He asked if I had heard of and/or tried any of his cigars. He also asked if I’d be interested in trying them if I hadn’t. I informed Paul that while I had indeed heard of his cigars, I hadn’t yet had the pleasure of trying any of them. He generously offered to remedy that and he sent me a sampler of his cigars.

More info about purchasing Litto Gomez Small Batch cigars...

It seems like it’s been years since the last Small Batch release but it’s now here, the Litto Gomez Diez Small Batch No. 3! The first two Small Batch releases were some of the strongest and most flavorful cigars I have ever smoked. Litto Gomez does small batch cigars very well, so I was very eager to try this one!

This cigar has a beautifully oily sheen to it (thanks to selenium I hear). The wrapper is dark brown with reddish hues. It looks and feels like a leather cigar!

Guess what. It tastes like one too. :) The first few puffs are rich with leather and coffee, with a hint of cedar on the finish.
