Review These - Reviews

[Corvin]

Had an opportunity to head out on Saturday night so I took my review sticks with me.

Both were torpedoes, the first looked Natural in color, the second was darker, I'm thinking it was Maduro in color.

The first stick (I smoked them in order) had great aroma and draw prelight. Once I lit it up there were hints of nut, I'd guess it was medium-full strength. I definitely enjoyed this one.

The second stick I lit after having a drink at the bar. I sat out on the patio and lit this one up. It appeared to have a maduro wrapper so I was expecting it to be a little stronger then the first, turned out that I was wrong. It seemed to be medium in strength. No real discernible flavors on this one, just some nice tobacco. I didn't really enjoy this one as much as the first.

I think that the first was the more expensive cigar. How did I do Dennis?

Nice job

Cigar #1: Bolivar Belicoso Fino from somewhere south of Florida

Cigar #2: Cuban Crafters Don Kiki Brown Label Torpedo.

#1 was indeed the more expensive cigar!

I did the same side by side comparison over the weekend, and came to pretty much the same conclusion. I did enjoy the DK Brown, but those BBF's are my all time favorite.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Smoked both of these on the deck last night. Had a nice thunderstorm while smoking the 2nd stick.

So here are the Reviews:

Review Stick #1

This was a toro sized cigar, it had very good construction, a bit veiny, and maybe a connecticut wrapper. The cut was really easy, had a very nice draw. Not too tight and not too lose.

This cigar had a pure white ash to it throughout the whole cigar. It gave off a medium amount of smoke. There was a sorta sweet taste to this cigar, I dont know how else to explain it.

It had a very good smooth and constant taste to it the entire cigar, down to the nub. It had a great burn the entire time as well.

I would guess this to be more on the mild maybe, maybe even mild-med.



Review Stick #2

This one was a torpedo shaped cigar. It was less veiny than the first. The construction wasnt as good as the first cigar, it looked like it stated to unravel as I cut it. But a quick lick of the finger and run down the side fixed that, and actually stopped it. Also the wrapper extended a bit beyond the filler and binder at the foot.

Again this cigar had a great burn throughout, my worries about it coming unraveled were quickly put to ease. This one had a smooth "woody" taste to it, and put off a medium amount of smoke as well.

The flavor stayed consistent throughout the entire cigar as well and turned out to be a very good cigar. And I would guess this to also be closer to the mild end of the spectrum.




I really enjoyed both these cigars, they each had a smooth wonderful flavor that just tasted great. But Ill have to go with cigar #1 as being the more expensive, based on the construction factor alone, since I cant find anything else to base my decision on btw them.

Thank you Corvin for letting me review these. Both these cigars were great, and I wouldnt mind smoking either again.

Sorry Miz, the first one was an 898 Collection Robusto, about $3 each, the second was a San Cristobal de la Habana La Punta, according to the Cigar review db over at top25cigar.com they're about $12 a piece, although here in Canada we pay a bit more for them

Anyway, glad you enjoyed them, the 898 is one of my morning go to smokes. Good reviews too

That was a tough one, both those cigars tasted and smoked great. The San Cristobal had a rougher look to it, and I thought I would have wrapper issues, thus I went with it as being the cheaper one.

Hmm, think Ill pick up some of those 898s.
