halfwheel. On April Fools’ Day, we attempt to give a serious review to what could be considered a not-so-serious cigar or accessory. It’s a tradition that dates back to 2011 and the first collaborative project between Brooks Whittington and Charlie Minato, and in previous years it has included a 21-inch long cigar, one made with an energy drink infusion, a known fake Cuban Cohiba Diplomatic Siglo VI, and an NSFW lighter. This year, it’s a cigar that gets its name from one of the main people in one of the most talked-about shows of 2020, Tiger King. That person is, of course, Carole Bas...

Release Date: February 2021 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 The AVO Classic Belicoso has an interesting mix of matte and shiny colors; the wrapper and base of the band both fall into the former category, while the gold parts of the band make up the latter. The wrapper leaf is a nutty shade of brown with some darker hues around the veins. The seams—when visible—reveal what color variance the leaf can have, though they are nearly invisible on one sample, and the thickness of the leaf seems to play a role in that as well. There are also some sparkly spots on the wrapper, though I’m ...

Release Date: November 2017 Number of Cigars Smoked For Redux: 1 Thinking I may have stepped into Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, I stare at this rather small cigar for a few more moments than normal. Everything has been shrunk down—band included—yet it still reminds me of the bigger Liga Privada vitolas. The wrapper leaf is a mottled, earthy brown, with coloration that makes the seams visible. Even smaller veins seem to stand out on this size given the lack of visual of real estate for them to hide. The cap seems a bit oversized, looking like a hastily placed toupee, and leading me to wonder ...

Release Date: November 2020 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 The first adjective that comes to mind when I see the Perla del Mar Corojo Corona Gorda for the first time is rustic, due in large part to the combination of an old school-looking band and a box-press that a is very obviously rectangular instead of square. While silky smooth to the touch, the mocha brown wrapper is also almost totally devoid of any visible oil, and it is extremely soft when squeezed. The aroma from the wrapper is a combination of incredibly sweet cedar and leather, along with peanuts, milk chocolate, hay, tree...

Release Date: Feb. 8, 2021 Number of Cigars Released: Regular Production Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 Even with the somewhat thinner ring gauge, the wrapper itself has quite a bit of texture on it, which isn’t always obvious. I think that the aggressive box press probably helps to accentuate this feature as the cigar provides four defined panels. The aroma from the wrapper is medium-full and smells like many other AGNAORSA-made cigars before it. There’s a dominant mixture of red pepper and cocoa on top of some barnyard and acidity. The covered foot is a bit milder and provides le...
