Release Date: April 2021 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 I’m not sure if it’s just my slow normalization to larger ring gauge cigars or if it’s the use of two wrappers, but this cigar is deceivingly large. Once out of cellophane, the Banner / The Hulk seems a lot thicker than it did previously. The candela used here is a deeper shade of green compared to some other candelas, and it contrasts the brown wrapper rather well, something that is no doubt helped by the reds that the darker wrapper has. As I smell the two wrappers, I don’t pick up many of the classic signs of candela, b...

Release Date: March 10, 2021 Number of Cigars Released: Regular Production Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 It’s hard to miss the brightly colored band on the Rojas Street Tacos Barbacoa Robusto, complete with its sombrero-wearing, mustachioed skull figure. Underneath that band, the cigar looks good with a bit of tooth that provides some texture on the fingers, an even color of just darker than medium brown, and a fairly average vein structure. There isn’t a lot of oil to the leaf either by touch or gloss. The cigar is firmly rolled but far from hard, showing some give when squeezed...

Release Date: April 15, 2021 Number of Cigars Released: Regular Production Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 The Micallef Migdalia S.E. has what I consider to be the modern cigar look. It’s a bit darker than the classic cigar color, but it’s by no means a maduro—err, oscuro—nor Connecticut shade. The fit and finish of the packaging are very well done and I’m a big fan of the design of the bands. These three samples are some of the weirdest-smelling cigars I’ve smoked. The wrapper smells like peppermint, eucalyptus and some barnyard. It’s to the point that I wouldn’t be sur...

Release Date: February 2019 Number of Cigars Smoked For Redux: 1 Even though it’s only been about a year since I reviewed the Quesada 1974 Lancero, I can’t say I have many strong memories about it. Granted, it’s been one heck of a year, but still, I’d like to think that at least something would have stood out. That feeling only amplifies when I scroll through the original review and notice the word  Cameroon. Specifically, this cigar uses an Ecuadorian Cameroon wrapper, which somewhat explains its unique, reddish color, even though it doesn’t have the same roughness or splotchine...

Release Date: February 2021 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 From a visual perspective, the Plasencia Year of the Ox is an imposing sight, with its large size, bulbous foot and a golden brown wrapper that seems to glow in open shade. The wrapper is parchment rough to the touch and features a number of prominent veins, while one sample has a huge soft spot—more of a crater really—just under the secondary band. Aroma from the wrapper and foot is a combination of sweet cedar, earth, barnyard, generic nuts and slight cookie sweetness while the cold draw brings flavors of dark chocolate,...
