Release Date: February 2021 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 The CAO Arcana Mortal Coil has a couple of layers of shine happening; the copper on the band does a good job catching the eye, but the wrapper leaf has an impressive amount of oiliness to it that does that job as well. It’s an interesting combination of colors between the dark, meaty brown of the wrapper and then the black and copper of the band, one that seems to play better when the wrapper leaf is on the darker side of the scale. There’s a ton of tooth and a couple of small veins to the leaf, the former a bit more impre...

Release Date: September 2020 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 The first thing I notice is that the cigar appears to have a triple cap, which isn’t a common sight on figurado vitolas. Two of the three samples have slightly darker feet, I’m not sure if that’s an intentional feature or just a coincidence. I really like the way the band helps to bring out some of the reddish colors in the wrapper. Once removed from the cellophane, the cigar smells a bit like an old room filled with leather; there’s also barnyard, creaminess and some sweetness. The foot is much sweeter thanks to some ...

Release Date: Oct. 22, 2014 Number of Cigars Released: 1,250 Boxes of 20 Cigars (25,000 Total Cigars) Number of Cigars Smoked For Redux: 1 While the cellophane shows some signs of age, it’s not yellow, instead just a bit murkier. Once out of the cellophane, the cigar looks a bit weird. It’s not the prettiest shade grown wrapper you’ll see and there’s some noticeable discoloration towards the middle of the cigar. The aroma from the cigar is rather potent, at least for a few seconds, with barnyard, a cantaloupe-like sweetness and some rye bread. Interestingly, after about five seconds, ...

Release Date: January 2021 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 The majority of the length of the cigar is covered thanks to the combination of the red foil and the band, which is placed just below the halfway mark of the cigar. The two pieces are attached, though I can easily remove the foil from the band without any damage. The wrapper is dark—though certainly far from the darkest of Viaje cigars like Satori—and has a hearty feel to it thanks to a decent number of veins. The wrapper has a really funky barnyard smell to it along with some chocolate and creaminess. When smelling the foot...

Release Date: November 2020 Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3 If you’ve ever been to Miami or Tampa and perused the entire cigar retail scene, you’ve inevitably popped into a cigar shop that made its own cigars and had a bunch of unbanded cigars for sale. That is the first thing that comes to mind when looking at the Gran Habano Persian Queen Kiana Barber Pole LE; it’s eye-catching but lacks any sort of banding or attribution to a maker, which I always find to be a bit of a shame. The barber pole is familiar and distinctive, with about a 2-to-1 ratio of the darker Nicaraguan corojo...
