All Cigars of the Week
A sweet-and-spicy little robusto with a full draw and even burn. Notes of citrus, molasses and toasted marshmallow are met with a bold earthiness as well as leather, cinnamon and clove.
In between the predominantly earthy, peppery pillars of this smoke are layers of coffee bean, leather and cedar. It’s dark and oily with a very flat head, even combustion and an open draw.
A cigar of subtle transitions and elegant sweetness. The burn is slow and cool, and the smoke is dense and chewy. Floral, cedar and sweet tea notes segue to show layers of caramel, vanilla and crushed peanut. The toasty finish hints of cinnamon and sugar.
The easy draw and even combustion of this toro delivers plenty of thick smoke. Initial notes of incense turn sweet and buttery, with an oakiness reminiscent of Chardonnay. Hints of marzipan, mint and brown sugar precede a subtle butterscotch finish.
The milk chocolate color of this cigar foreshadows the recurring cocoa notes that underscore the smoke. It’s rich with freshly-roasted coffee bean, slightly piquant in its spiciness and fruity as it hints of dried berries. The draw and burn are consistently even.
Bold and balanced with a meaty, nutty core that’s nicely detailed by sweet elements of honey, vanilla and a touch of marshmallow. Subtle undercurrents of cedar bring a pleasant woodiness. The draw and burn are even throughout.
Initial puffs of this long, thin cigar are intensely nutty with a sweet marzipan character, but wisps of black pepper and a roasted coffee usher in a rich finish that calls to mind chocolate-covered raisins. The draw is lush, and the burn, dead even.
This handsome, short belicoso is rolled in a slightly gleaming wrapper. The burn is even and the draw is open, showing a pleasantly woody, spicy smoke with an herbal element and a sweeter finish of dried dark fruit.
An unusually boxy perfecto with sharp edges and tapers at both ends. It draws and burns well, imparting a toasty, nutty smoke with notes of sweet tea and tangy wood.
Softly pressed with rounded edges and an exemplary burn and draw. Its sweet-and-spicy gingerbread character is bolstered by bold notes of espresso and chocolate. A delicious cigar from first puff to last.
