Some nice reviews, well done.

These next few reviews are in no particular order. I just took some notes on them and wanted to finally write some reviews.

[logan37]

Monarca size (6.5x46)
Wrapper: Nicaragua(natural)
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua

Drink: JW blue. (hey, it's an expensive cigar)

Construction was a perfect box press with no soft spots and the cap clipped off very clean. The wrapper felt rough(is that what toothy is?) and there were no large veins present.

The odor of the cigar was slightly sweet and earthy and the pre-light draw was clean. I toasted the foot and the cigar released a very pleasant sweet and nutty aroma. I puffed and tasted a lightly sweet walnut flavor that finished with a little spice. This medium bodied smoke produced a lot of thick, creamy smoke. About halfway down the stick the flavored turned a little bit spicier on the finish but still held the sweet nutty taste. The spice kept building as the stick burned down. The sweet/nuttiness became slightly stronger towards the end.

The ash was a light grey and fell off at about 2.5 inches. It burned pretty even the entire length.

Awesome smoke. This is a must try for anyone who hasn't yet. It's pricey but damn it's worth it for any (special) occasion. JW blue complimented this perfectly.

Nice review! Indeed one of those upper end sticks that lives up to its billing. Try the maduro if you haven't.

I have 2 Padron 64s in the humi. I guess that will be one of my smokes this weekend!

Thanks for all the good reviews.

Torpedo (6x54)
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Drink: Magic Hat #9

Construction was excellent. The wrapper was very dark and a had a very nice sheen but did not feel oily at all. The scent unlit was woody and sweet. The cap cut cleanly and the draw was smooth.

The Man O' War produce a nice amount of velvety smoke that smelled like dark chocolate and nuts. The taste was a robust blend of sweet, spice and wood. The draw was cool for most of it; it warmed up a little towards the end(nothing a little rest won't fix). About half way down the wood taste lessened and a new taste of almonds came out. The spiciness became stronger as the cigar burned down and woody taste came back for the last 1/4 of the stick.

The ash burned straight, held firm and turned a dark grey with black stripes randomly popping out.

This is very good cigar. I enjoyed this stick down to the nub.

Torpedo (6x52)
Wrapper: Maduro (I think it's Honduran?)
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: I don't know(I looked it up and it says "secret" on the RP website.)

Drink: Gin and Tonic with lime.

The construction was even throughout. The wrapper was very dark with a slight red tint. It was a little veiny but felt smooth.

Before lighting, the cigar smelled earthy and a little bit like cocoa. The pre-light draw was slightly resistant but nothing to worry about. After toasting the foot the sweet smell of cocoa came out. However, there was no cocoa in the taste of this creamy full bodied cigar. The cigar was so full of flavor that I could pinpoint exactly what I was tasting. It was spicy, it was sweet, it was robust. With all those flavors and the boldness of this cigar, it was surprisingly smooth. The finish had a little bite to it. Down the entire length of the cigar the flavors mingled at different levels. It was spicier at some points, then it became sweeter and then back to spicy. This was a very complex smoke. I'm going to have to try this one again in the future when my palate is more fine tuned. From the first puff down to the last, this cigar produce a generous amount of thick, bright white smoke that smelled much sweeter then the cigar actually tasted.

This stick burned very even and produced a darker grey ash.
