The E.P. Carrillo Endure is the newest jewel from Casa Carrillo, wrapped in rare Meerapfel Cameroon and packed with Nicaraguan tobaccos, offering a rich and evolving flavor journey. While not the prettiest cigar, as is often the case with Cameroon wrappers, you can immediately sense its uniqueness in the aroma once lit. It opens with notes of sweet cedar, toasted oats, and white spice, then transitions into layers of walnut, raisin, clove, and sherry oak. The retrohale adds warmth with hints of spicy chocolate, cinnamon, and malted cocoa, creating a deep, aromatic profile from start to finish. Medium to medium-full in body, the Endure maintains excellent construction with a smooth draw and steady burn. As it progresses, subtle shifts introduce leather, French roast coffee, and a bourbon-barrel sweetness, making each third feel distinct. This is an exceptionally sweet cigar that rewards slow smoking and pairs beautifully with bold coffee or aged whisky. Picked on 07/17/2025

Being a fan of wines and cigars, a combination of both peaked my interests. A new brand to Neptune, El Septimo, brings an artisan twist to cigars with their aging process and choices in tobacco. The France Bordeaux collection stood out to me for being a mild 60 ring gauge with curiosity about the wine barrel aged flavors. The initial start and first third of the cigar was very smooth, creamy sweetness but not overwhelming, and a nice woody profile thanks to the barrel aging. The notes of the Bordeaux come through in the 2nd third. A dry yet sweet and citrus note was prevalent in the smoke with a deeper woody note and caramel like note. At the same time it wasn't overly sweet or sugary, it was the perfect balance similar to white wine where you want dry sweetness balanced by notes of the grape, this has dry sweetness balanced by notes from the tobacco. I believe the combinations from the tobacco used helped keep the balance in the variety of notes. The final third gives a proper finish, like the bottom of a bottle of wine. The woody notes become very rich, the sweetness fades away but the caramel/nutty notes stay. The citrusy dry notes that come half way in become almost palpable in the final third, you can taste the wine barrel notes on your palate carried by the smoke with a welcome soft pepper in the finish. I love a strong finish and this brings a punch with the oils and notes in the finale. I would recommend this to any cigar smoker as its a mild that transitions to a medium half way in, lots of notes thanks to their Bordeaux barrel aging and tobacco choice, strong finish, and beautiful construction. No issues smoking this cigar, thick ash that didn't fall once unless I hit it against the ashtray, and lots of smoke thanks to the large ring gauge which for a cigar like this you want so you can enjoy all the notes and complexity.

Aroma

The ESG Torpedo begins with a gentle kick of black pepper and a subtle tartness on the tongue. The pepper leads the way early on, especially through the first inch, but never overwhelms. Despite the spice, the smoke is impressively smooth and creamy from the start. It doesn’t take long to realize this cigar has something special — the aroma is rich, multi-layered, and unlike anything else. Hints of cedar and soft florals drift through the nose, both understated and refined. The ambient scent is particularly inviting. As the cigar transitions into the middle third, the profile deepens with earthy tones and a touch of lightly roasted coffee. The floral sweetness in the aroma lingers beautifully, though a dry, tannic finish begins to creep in — something that slightly detracts from the otherwise pleasant experience. The pepper fades into the background while the strength of the cigar subtly ramps up. The final third stays remarkably smooth, keeping its creamy character intact. The bouquet is truly captivating, with delicate notes of lavender or violet that never become overly perfumed. It’s floral, but expertly balanced. That said, the tannic dryness continues to linger on the palate, leaving my mouth feeling parched by the end. Still, the aroma alone makes the hour-long journey worth it. Picked on 07/10/2025

The Zino Nicaragua Short Torpedo is a powerhouse in a petite package—just 4? by 52, yet it punches well above its weight. Rolled with a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Semilla 56 Nicaraguan binder, and Honduran/Nicaraguan/Dominican long-fillers, it delivers a rich, layered experience. From the first light, you’re hit with peppery spice, cedar, and coffee, evolving into creamy leather and salted nuts mid-smoke. The finale? Smooth dark chocolate notes and a touch of sweetness. This slightly punchy stick has coffee and chocolate undertones that make it fresh and enjoyable, as well as a prominent note of wood. Despite its compact size, expect a satisfying medium-to-full smoke with depth and complexity that make every puff count. Picked on 07/10/2025

Not every cigar needs to make a grand entrance. Some win you over with quiet confidence—and that’s exactly what the Illusione Haut 10 Churchill does. It doesn’t rely on flashy branding or overwhelming strength. Instead, it focuses on balance, complexity, and a kind of subtle elegance that reveals itself slowly with each draw. This Churchill-size cigar is longer than your average smoke, but that’s part of the appeal. It gives the blend more time to evolve, and Illusione takes full advantage of that space. The first third opens with clean, focused flavors. Cedar, a touch of pepper, and a nutty, almost toasted quality that sets the tone. The draw is easy, and the smoke is creamy and dense without being heavy. What really makes the Haut 10 stand out is its balance. It leans toward medium-full in strength, but it’s never harsh or overwhelming. Newer smokers won’t find it intimidating, and seasoned cigar lovers will appreciate the layers it offers. As it burns, the profile gradually deepens. Hints of leather, espresso, and a bit of natural sweetness come in—nothing too bold, just enough to keep things interesting. Construction is excellent, as you’d expect from a cigar produced at the Aganorsa Leaf factory. The burn line stays sharp, the ash holds well, and the cigar smokes cool and steady all the way through. No touch-ups, no drama. A great pairing for the Illusione Haut 10 Churchill is a well-aged rum—something with depth but a soft, rounded profile, like Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva or Zacapa 23. The natural sweetness and warm spice of the rum complement the cigar’s notes of cedar, nuts, and leather without overpowering them. It’s a pairing that enhances the cigar’s creamy texture and adds a rich, smooth finish to the experience. Picked on 07/02/2025

I fell in love with this cigar just as Romeo fell in love with Juliet. The Kentucky Derby blasted my tastebuds with the intensity of a bull crashing through the gates before a rodeo show. As I lit up this cigar for my first puff I instantaneously tasted wave of toasty cedar balanced with a perfect amount of natural sweetness. All throughout the cigar there was a pleasant aftertaste of dried fruit (almost plum-like flavor). The Kentucky Derby also has a mouth-watering oaky aroma. The burn stayed perfectly even and the cigar never needed a touch up from my lighter. However, it was at this point I realized this cigar has a very tight draw. Despite this, I was still pleased with the amount of smoke this beauty produced. The second third of this cigar introduces a charming amount of nuttiness. The combination of the dried fruit, cedar, and nuttiness flavor notes creates a perfect concoction that boldly imitates the taste and smell of chestnuts over a fire. The final third of this cigar produces a woody finish that felt stronger than the previous two thirds (almost maduro-esque). A hint of spice begins to unveil itself throughout this third that greatly contrasts the remaining fruitiness this cigar had left. Overall, this cigar is fantastic. If you enjoy the nutty, cedar, and dried fruit flavor notes you cannot miss this one! Picked on 06/29/2025

The La Aurora Family Creed Fuerte Sol Robusto is a great short smoke for those looking for a nice chocolatey cigar. The draw is pretty smooth throughout and burns evenly with strong notes of cocoa, cedar, espresso, and black pepper. The strength builds up as you go but never gets harsh. The name "Family Creed" must represent how La Aurora has been making some of the best cigars in the industry since their inception in 1903. This is another worthy addition to their already excellent roster of stogies and a good representation of how great La Aurora cigars have been for over 121 years. Give this one a shot.

The 30th Anniversary Sun Grown Epicure kicked off with a really interesting mix of flavors. Right from the start, you could pick up natural tobacco, oak, earthy notes, some pepper, and a surprising sweet heat that tasted a lot like red hot cinnamon candy. At first, the natural tobacco stood out the most, but that didn’t last long—earthy flavors quickly took the lead, and a smooth milk chocolate note popped in, adding a nice creamy sweetness. Meanwhile, the oak, tobacco, pepper, and that red hot spice took more of a backseat but still added depth to the overall flavor. The pepper itself was pretty unique, with a mix of sweet chili and black pepper, and that combo came through clearly on the retro-hale too. As the cigar burned into the second third, the earthy and milk chocolate flavors remained the stars of the show. Those background notes—natural tobacco, oak, pepper, and red hot spice—kept hanging around and giving the profile some complexity. One thing that stood out during this part was that the pepper notes started to ramp up a bit. They didn’t dominate the flavor, but they definitely became more noticeable, especially through the nose. By the time you get to the final third, the flavor profile shifts again. Earth and oak become the dominant notes, giving the cigar a deeper, more grounded feel. The milk chocolate, tobacco, and red hot spice are still there, rounding things out and keeping it interesting. The pepper picks up a bit more in intensity during this last stretch, but it stays balanced and never gets too aggressive or overwhelming. All in all, the cigar offers a rich, evolving flavor experience with a nice mix of sweetness, spice, and earthiness from start to finish. Picked on 06/21/2025

This premium cigar, created by Steve Saka and crafted by Joya de Nicaragua, offers a mild to medium smoking experience, making it ideal for both seasoned smokers and beginners. Its wrapper is an elegant Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade in a honey hue, complemented by a Mexican San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. During the smoke, sweet and creamy notes of caramel, coffee, toasted almonds, cedar, and a hint of warm nuttiness emerge. Its profile is round and balanced, providing a pleasant experience that is smooth on the palate yet complex in flavors. When paired with a fine Cognac, the sweetness and spicy notes of the cigar are enhanced, creating a perfect harmony between the two. The cognac adds a warmth that complements the cigar's smoothness, while its fruity and spicy undertones enrich the sensory experience. An ideal cigar for those seeking a refined, sweet, and well-constructed smoke, perfect for enjoying during a leisurely afternoon or evening with a glass of cognac. Picked on 06/09/2025

This one I have been waiting for like a kid on Christmas. The Alma del Cielo is the newest addition to the Plasencia line and the first high-elevation cigar made. The name meaning “Soul from the Sky,” grown at Finca San Julian in Condega, situated at greater than 3500 feet above sea level. It is a Nicaraguan puro with a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper. Its dressed with a very familiar band but with a blue color. Construction was flawless and as perfect as a cigar can be. The cigar had no imperfections and required no touch ups as I smoked it. The first notes that jumped at me were cedar and a sweet almost molasses like flavor. The cigar was extremely creamy and a lot of natural sweetness which was pleasant and a welcomed surprise. Half way into the cigar the cedar notes took a back seat to notes of cinnamon and brown sugar, subtle but enough to be tasted and enjoyed. The last third of the cigar has a lot of earthy notes and wood notes returned and were very prominent with a touch of spice that I really enjoyed. Plasencia never disappoints and anyone a fan of the brand will love this cigar no matter your wrapper or strength preference, this cigar can be enjoyed by all. This cigar was unlike any cigar I've smoked recently and I will be smoking this again in the other vitolas in the very near future. A must try! Picked on 05/30/2025

It wouldn't surprise me if you have seen (or smoked) Crowned Heads' Juarez before, as it's been out for several years now. However, it WOULD surprise me if you've smoked the limited edition Bulldozer version of this historic blend, seeing how it was just released now in 2025. The Bulldozer is not your ordinary Juarez, as it tweaks the blend to add Mexican tobacco in the filler in addition to just the wrapper. This change ramps up the flavor in the Juarez Bulldozer to new levels of tastiness. This box-pressed gordo is rustic in appearance, with a pigtail cap and a black footer band. A quick whiff will provide you a smokey aroma, which is quite telling of what you're about to experience. After lighting, meaty notes of leather and chocolate flood the palate, with a nice touch of hickory on top and slight cashew notes. Although I normally twist pigtails off, I opted to straight cut this one, and the draw was immense! Wide open and easy, the smoke output was also extremely generous, filling the room with chewy smoke you could almost cut with a knife. Sporting a 58 ring gauge, the Bulldozer took its time burning, clocking in at around the hour and 15 mark. Medium-to-full bodied, this Juarez is not quite as powerful as you may initially expect, with lots of bold flavor but a forgiving strength overall, making this beast easy to tame no matter your experience level. At a price point under 9 dollars at the time of this writing, the Crowned Heads Juarez Bulldozer is what I call one hell of a value and belongs in everyone's humidor - no bull! Picked on 05/09/2025

Alright, if you don't know about the birthplace of this cigar then you definitely need to get acquainted. Rolled out of the El Titan de Bronze factory located on SW 8th St, the Partagas de Bronce is a special stick rolled by level 9 Cuban rollers! The craftmanship and superb construction leaves you amazed. With a beautiful white ash I was extremely impressed by how well made this cigar was. Upon first light I was met with strong notes of cedar as well as graham crackers. I was overall impressed by how much this cigar tasted like a cinnamon graham cracker. As I continued, those notes started to blend with some cocoa notes as well. You will also notice an extremely pleasant creamy and smooth consistency all they way through till the end. I was drinking a chocolate milk while enjoying this one which really pronounced the cookie notes I was experiencing. Overall regardless of it being a bit pricier then your average budget stick, I would gladly throw this one in your collection for special nights and special moments with friends and family! Highly advise you pair with a Caribbean rum instead of a chocolate milk like me - hopefully you aren't on the clock like I was when you light it up! Picked on 03/14/2025

A smoke for fans of medium to full bodied cigars, with a reddish-brown Sumatra seed wrapper grown in Ecuador that gives this stick a rich flavor of earth and spice. There is white pepper and cinnamon that comes not just from this wrapper, but also from the double binder Corojo and Criollo leaves. I rarely go for the thick ring gauges such as this one but in this case, it works. The Jalapa and Esteli fillers in the blend balance each other, one providing a creamy and smooth flavor and the other a bolder, more leathery and spicy flavor. This is a well balanced smoke that will satisfy your craving. Regardless of whether you consider it to be worthy of the Best Cigar of the Year award or not, I encourage you to forget the accolades and just enjoy this cigar for what it is: a damn good cigar!

Today's review happened by accident, but what an awesome mistake. I was trying to grab Kristoff's Vengeance (another great full bodied blend) and thought I was grabbing one of the rebranded versions. Instead, we stumbled into Kristoff's 20th Anniversary. I'd like to start by mentioning the entire Kristoff line is very approachable for price and is offering delicious opportunities in every strength bracket, even if this review doesn't sound like you I think there is a Kristoff that would fit in your rotation. Now to the business at hand. This cigar is rocking a nearly black Brazilian wrapper, Indonesian binder, and filled with Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania tobacco. For taste it was oaky and smokey all the way through with a light natural sweetness. While it did lead with a decent peppery bite on the first half inch (expected based on tobacco varietals) this mellowed out by the end of the first inch and turned silky smooth by the mid way point, for my pallet delicious transitions. Some dark coco notes were present throughout that became more pronounced further into the cigar as the rest of it mellowed. This build also hit the spot in terms of construction. Smoked this at work with all the days distractions and it never went out on me, never bittered, and took me almost an hour to nub this classic 5 x 50 robusto. Bold start, rich flavors, inoffensive bite, and a quality construction on an anniversary edition cigar that hit with a standard price tag, yes please! Medium bodied guys with an adventurous side willing to get through the first half inch and any full bodied smoker is going to find something to like about this cigar, enjoy friends!

The aroma de cuba has always delivered some great cigars. That tradition continues with the Noblesse Coronation. This cigar is packed with some great flavors. This medium body cigar has a great earthy, nutty flavor at the beginning. Some hints of chocolate is introduced also at the beginning. Thge draw is phenominal. It has an easy draw. Can not say that about alot of cigars. The aroma is welcoming too. At the half way point, those flavors at the beginning are still found. Some cigars would of changed a bit at this point. Not this one. The draw is still great. Toward the end of the cigar, I was not surprised that the cigar was still consistent. It did pick up a bit in strength to a medium full. Some hints of spice was also introduced. Not overwhelming. But enough to make the cigar enjoyable. Every flavor was still there. The earthiness, the nutty. The hint of chocolate was not too overwhelming. This is one cigar that you have to try. What I liked about it also, no aftertaste was left in my mouth. Like some cigars tend to do. And if you need to pair it with a nice drink, I would recomend a nice Glenlevit. The oak of the drink compliments it. Enjoy everyone Picked on 09/17/2024

The Ashton VSG Illusion is one of Ashton's most popular cigars, and it's not hard to see why. Handmade by Arturo Fuente in the Dominican Republic, this cigar sports an Ecuadorian 'Virgin' Sun Grown wrapper covering a Dominican binder and fillers. The cigar has a sweet chocolatey aroma and a little spice on the dry draw. The spice really comes through on first lighting it, with a subtle sweetness that underlines a bold peppery flavor. Working through the first third I noticed the spice die down letting that molasses sweetness come through. A wide open draw and some surprisingly big puffs of smoke for such a skinny lonsdale led me to the final third. The spice is gone all but for on the retro hale, notes of cocoa and leather on the finish make for a very satisfying finale. It's no surprise this took the number 15 spot on Cigar Aficionado's 2023 Top 25, it's definitely a stick every aficionado should smoke. The cigar lasted a little over an hour, perfect for a quick hit of peppery sweetness. I'd recommend a cognac to cut through that spice and enhance the sweet flavors of the tobacco.

This little perfecto surprised me. I was not expecting it to be bad by any means, but, being an inexpensive small cigar, I assumed it would be mediocre at best...something to smoke on while taking the dog around the block, etc. In actuality, it was excellent. While not being incredibly complex, it is well constructed and pumped out a decent amount of smoke. it also burned impeccably, and did not require any touch ups or relights, despite the foot starting out nearly as thin as a pencil. The flavor profile was somewhat typical for a Cameroon cigar....sweet, nutty, earthy, with subtle hints of cocoa / coffee. For just over $5.00, it is hard to say no to this little guy. AF Short Story fans seriously need to take note.... if your Short Stories are not available, or if you just feel like saving a couple of bucks.... this stick is for you. Try pairing with a Café con leche morning, noon or night and you will not be dissapointed. Cheers. Picked on 05/02/2023
