The flavors of the cold draw were reminiscent of whiskey or bourbon. And, after torching the end, the smell of the smoke was quite fantastic.

You should be able to enjoy a cigar of this size for about 90 minutes, but this cigar only lasted for about 60. I wish I'd been able to smoke it for longer.

The Oliva Serie V Double Toro is a cigar my father-in-law has been smoking for years and one that he swears by. And, since I frequently see them on Famous Smoke at 40% off, I bought box when I saw them on sale. So today, instead of just relying on the word of a friend, I thought we'd put the Oliva Serie V Double Toro to the test!00:00 Intro00:09 Welcome02:26 First Impressions04:02 Cigar Specs04:57 Smoking07:32 Final Thoughts09:06 OutroAfter using my v-cutter to snip the end, I found that I had a fairly tight draw. Regarding the flavors, the Serie V is undeniably Nicaraguan, but the Ecuadorian Habano wrapper adds some spice. However, the spice I get from these cigars like cinnamon, not peppers, so it's a nice combination of sweetness and spice. Additionally, I get notes of leather and other earthy flavors.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: OlivaLine: Serie VSize: 6 x 60Cut: Double V-CutLight: TorchPrice: $11.25Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano Sun GrownBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 105 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-oliva-serievThrough the first third of the Oliva Serie V Double Toro, I had a tight draw that I didn't like.

It looks like I'm going to have to suffer through a tight-ish draw.Final Thoughts:While this wasn't as good as the Oliva Serie V Double Toros I've had in the past, this one was still pretty good. Other than the disappointing draw, this cigar lived up to expectations (and past experiences) in every way.The Serie V has rich flavors of cinnamon and other spices that are balanced with earthy flavors that make up a really nice smoke. Plus it's hard to ignore the quality and length of smoke for the price, all from a premium cigar brand.

The Punch Chop Suey is kind of an ugly cigar. Not much attention was paid to making this lancero look perfect, but hopefully, what the Chop Suey lacks in appearance (due to the inch and a half long shaggy foot), the cigar can make up for in flavor!After using the v-cut (a.k.a "notch cut") to open up the cigar, the draw was a smidge tight. On the cold draw, I could taste tobacco that seemed a little green and under-aged.However, after torching the end, I could taste leather and cedar.

But, the stick I smoked had a decent burn.Although the Chop Suey isn't a bad cigar, it's not a great cigar either.

The Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro is a cigar that made it onto the CigarScore Top 10 Cigars Under $10 list, so when I had a chance to review the Connecticut of the same line, I took it.Cigar Taxes by State: https://www.cigarscore.com/states-with-the-highest-tobacco-taxes/Top 10 Breakfast Cigars: https://www.cigarscore.com/top-10-breakfast-cigars-to-pair-with-coffee/Perdomo cigars, a.k.a.

As a family business, we have held our prices and in many cases reduced them in order to be extremely competitive. "The Perdomo Lot 23 Connecticut Robusto is a budget-friendly cigar that I plan on comparing to the Perdomo Champagne, after all, they've got similar tobaccos inside. After punching the end, the draw of the Lot 23 was loose, and the flavors I could taste before lighting the cigar were of dried grass.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: PerdomoLine: Lot 23, ConnecticutSize: 5 x 50Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $6.50Wrapper: Nicaraguan Connecticut ShadeBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 62 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-perdomo-lot23Through the middle third of the cigar, the draw of the Lot 23 was perfect.

The Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto should be a true, luxury smoke. After all, it's a blend that won some "Cigar of the Year" awards a few years ago.The version of this cigar with the natural wrapper (as opposed to the Melanio Maduro) has a Nicaraguan binder and filler underneath an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that's marbled and quite attractive.After punching the end, the draw is impeccable. The flavors on the cold draw are grassy.It's worth noting that I've had some Oliva Serie V Melanios that had flavors of chocolate and caramel, while others have been mediocre in flavor. Consistency seems to be an issue with these cigars, and I plan on letting most of the ones I have left age for at least a couple of years.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: OlivaLine: Serie V, Melanio NaturalSize: 5 x 52Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $10.60Wrapper: Ecuadorian SumatraBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-oliva-serievmelanioWhereas the first third of the cigar had flavors that were just okay, the middle third is where the robusto started to shine.

I've had it on the Churchill vitola, but, I didn't have it today.However, the Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto that I reviewed today doesn't quite live up to what I know a Melanio can deliver. This robusto's draw was great, the flavors were good, and I had an even burn the entire time, but... I know it can do better. The first third of the cigar was not as good as the middle and final thirds, which are where the draw opened up and the flavors improved.Overall, this Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto was pretty dang good, but not perfect, so it earns a CigarScore 4.#CigarScoreTV #Oliva:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

As soon as I took the Diesel Grind Toro out of the cellophane I'd been keeping it in for the last six months, my first thought was that the cigar smelled a little sweet and a little funky.Upon examining the cigar itself, there was a poorly cut cap and perhaps a water spot on the Nicaraguan Habano wrapper.However, despite having a funky smell to it, during the first fifteen minutes with the Diesel Grind Toro, I'm met with a great draw, a mostly even burn, and flavors that make me think the leaves could benefit from additional aging.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: AJ FernandezLine: Diesel, GrindSize: 6 x 50Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $6-7Wrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 75 minutesShop Diesel Cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-dieselIn the middle of the cigar, at around the 50-minute mark, the flavors were ok.

But, at this point, I'm not sure whether or not I actually like the cigar.Final Thoughts:After smoking the cigar for about 70 minutes, I could finally put a finger on the flavors and what I thought they reminded me of - the Drew Estate Kentucky Fire Cured. Though I doubt their processes are the same, the Diesel Grind did taste like a milder, more muted version of the KFC I reviewed. The flavors seemed to have a charred brisket taste to them.While I didn't love the flavors of this stick, you might.

When it comes to the "classics," what comes to mind? Cars? Movies? For me, "classics" are cigars like the CAO Gold Robusto, a cigar that's been around, and one that helped put CAO on the map back in the 1980s.The CAO Gold has a classic look and feel to it. It's got a Nicaraguan filler with an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper to hold it all in. I'm not sure, but I'd suspect that CAO created this blend long before the Perdomo Champagne or the RoMa Craft EC XVIII were even thought of. And, to me, something that leads to or spawns other somethings is a classic.Regarding the smell of the cigar, before it's even lit, the CAO Gold Robusto smells very leafy. Even after torching the end, the flavors were green and light. My suspicion is that this cigar won't deliver the delicious flavor-punch of the Perdomo or the RoMa Craft mentioned above.Other Cigars Mentioned:Perdomo Champagne: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-perdomo-champagne-robusto/RoMa Craft Intemperance EC XVIII: https://www.cigarscore.com/cigar-review-roma-craft-intemperance-ec-xviii-brotherly-kindness/FUN FACT: Nick Perdomo made cigars for CAO in 1999 through part of the early 2000s.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: CAOLine: GoldSize: 5 x 50Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $7.09Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut ShadeBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 45 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-cao-goldThrough the first third of the CAO Gold, the flavors were very mellow, straight forward, and complex. They're not bad flavors, but I don't know if this cigar is going to deliver what today's smokers are looking for.Final Thoughts:Overall, the CAO Gold Robusto had flavors that were very Cuban-esque. That is, the flavors were of dried wheat and grass. If you're looking for the rich, bold flavors of the Perdomo or RoMa Craft cigars that also have Nicaraguan fillers with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, the CAO Gold cigar isn't it.Regarding the construction of this cigar, it was almost perfect. I got an even burn and a great draw through the entire smoke.The CAO Gold Robusto is good enough to smoke again, but it's not a cigar with which I'd fill my humidor. If you like rich, complex cigars, you should probably skip this one. However, this cigar is well made and not terribly expensive, so the CAO Gold Robusto earns a CigarScore 3.#CigarScoreTV #CAO:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

I received the RoMa Craft CroMagnon Fomorian as a gift from a good friend. I'd seen him smoking this cigar on several occasions, but it always seemed to fall apart on him because of the finicky candela wrapper. However, after receiving the Fomorian as a gift, I thought I'd review it for you.The RoMa Craft CroMagnon Fomorian is Hulk-green and has a unique and weird and interesting Ecuadorian Connecticut Candela leaf as the wrapper. On the inside, you'll find a Cameroon binder and a filler made up of Nicaraguan tobacco, as is typical of RoMa Craft cigars.Before pulling the Fomorian out of the cellophane, I noticed small cracks in the wrapper. I don't know what it is about these cigars, but they sure are troublesome. After punching then end with care, the draw was perfect. The initial flavors were a little sour, like green grass.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: RoMa CraftLine: CroMagnon, FomorianSize: 5 x 56Cut: PunchLight: TorchPrice: $7.50Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut CandelaBinder: CameroonFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 75 minutesGet 15% OFF RoMa: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-romacraftAs you can see in the video, the RoMa Craft CroMagnon Fomorian continued to fall apart.

I don't understand this cigar or why anyone would put themself through the headache of trying to smoke one. However, on the flip side, the flavors are okay.I think of the Fomorian like getting a whole lobster at dinner. They're both a lot of work to enjoy, and, at the end, you have to consider if the enjoyment was worth the effort.For me, the RoMa Craft CroMagnon Fomorian wasn't worth the effort, and I just don't get how people like this cigar.

Over the last year or so, we've smoked and reviewed almost every Plasencia cigar we could get our hands on. And today, we're diving into the Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto, a meant to commemorate the 146th crop the Plasencia family planted in Nicaragua.After taking the Cosecha 146 out of the cellophane, I immediately thought the cigar was very well made; it looked amazing. I was also greeted with a very fragrant cigar that smelled of wood and cedar. The v-cut provided a nice draw with a cold draw that might've had a tiny hint of citrus.In the first third, the flavors are spicey with lots of cedar flavors. And, after the cigar heated up, the draw became a little tight.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: PlasenciaLine: Cosecha 146Size: 5 1/4 X 52Cut: V-CutLight: TorchPrice: $12.00 - Good Cigar CoWrapper: Honduran HabanoBinder: NicaraguaFiller: Nicaragua, HondurasSmoke Time: 80 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-plasencia-cosecha146Final Thoughts:The Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto is a pretty good cigar. While I didn't like the Cosecha 146 La Vega as much as the Plasencia Alma Fuerte, I did like it much better than the Alma Del Campo.There were nice complexities in flavor with both sweetness from the Nicaraguan tobacco tempered with the smoothness of the Honduran filler tobacco, but with hints of spice from the Honduran Habano wrapper. The burn was even, but the draw was a little tight.Overall, the flavors were really good. In the final third, the flavors became more smokey and roasted as opposed to the cedar I tasted earlier in the cigar. I enjoyed the Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Vega Robusto, and it earns a CigarScore 5.#CigarScoreTV #GoodCigarCo:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

Adding Candela leaf tobacco to any cigar is always a bold choice. But, that's what Black Works Studio did in today's cigar, the Green Hornet.The Black Works Studio Killer Bee Green Hornet Robusto is just slightly smaller than your traditional robusto. Both its smoking end and its foot have candela tobacco in them, and the green leaf acts as a visual nod to the vitola (size) of the cigar, the Green Hornet.After punching the end and toasting the foot, the draw was very easy, and I was greeted with hints of the grassy-sour candela tobacco. In addition to the candela flavors, I can taste the distinctive tastes of heavily roasted tobacco that is common in cigars from both Black Works Studio and Black Label Trading Co (they're the same company).CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Black Works StudioLine: Green HornetSize: 5 x 48Cut: V-CutLight: TorchPrice: $9Wrapper: Ecuadorian Maduro and Ecuadorian Candela (Double Claro)Binder: Nicaraguan HabanoFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 62 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-blackworks-killerbeeFinal Thoughts:While I didn't especially like the flavors of the Black Works Studio Killer Bee Green Hornet Robusto, I must admit that the construction quality of this cigar is very high. I didn't experience a single burn issue, and the draw was perfect from the very beginning. The Green Hornet is a very well made cigar.However, I didn't really care for the flavors. As I mentioned before, all Black Works/Black Label cigars tend to have a charred or burned taste to the tobacco. Like Starbucks tends to burn their coffee beans, these two brands tend to burn their tobacco during the fermentation process. The actual process might be different, but the flavors of the end result are the same. Additionally, the candela tobacco's odd flavors complicate the mix.At the end of the day, the Killer Bee Green Hornet is a well-made cigar with flavors that might be right up your alley. A CigarScore 4 for sure.#CigarScoreTV:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

When I set out to do a cigar review today, I was somewhat disappointed when I remembered I didn't have a Liga Privada to smoke. However, my sadness was immediately expunged when I saw the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat on the shelf of my humidor. Not only is the Velvet Rat a Liga Privada, but it's also a part of the elite Unico Serie that's supposed to be some of the best cigars Drew Estate makes.12:02 - Drew Estate Liga A Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNLOr3y3HDMThe Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat is a great, but somewhat rugged-looking, cigar. It's got a pigtail tip and a dark, Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper that is marbled like a prime steak.After cutting the end, the draw was perfect and the cold draw flavors were like a roasted cocoa.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Drew EstateLine: Liga Privada, Unico Serie Velvet RatSize: 6 1/4 X 46Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $16.70Wrapper: Brazilian Mata FinaBinder: United States Connecticut River Valley stalk-cut & cured HabanoFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 65 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-de-ligaprivada-unicoserieIf there was a CigarScore Zero, this cigar would have earned it in the first third. There were multiple hollow spots that led to a terrible draw and almost no smoke.The entire first half of the Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat was a bad experience for me. Even the flavors were mediocre, and I could barely tell this was even a distant cousin of a Liga Privada cigar. As disappointing as the first half of the Velvet Rat was, I think I got a lemon.Final Thoughts:The first half of the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat I reviewed sucked. It was terrible, and, I hope, a fluke. The second half, however, was not so bad.In the final third of the Velvet Rat, the burn evened up, the draw opened up, and the flavors came back into the realm of what could be expected in a cigar of this brand and at this price point.Overall, the flavors I could get out of this cigar were kind of bland. The cigar was riddled with hollow spots and plagued by a bad draw. Had I not smoked and reviewed other Liga Privada cigars that I enjoyed, based on this stick alone, I'd never come back to the brand.However, I know Drew Estate can make better cigars. I plan on coming back to the Unico Serie Velvet Rat and reviewing it again in a series called "Second Chance Cigar Reviews." But today, the Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rat earns a CigarScore 2 and probably should've gotten a 1.#CigarScoreTV #DrewEstate #LigaPrivada #VelvetRat:::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

The Davidoff Nicaragua Toro should be an excellent cigar. After all, Davidoff is one of the premier brands in the cigar industry. And, after smoking and reviewing the Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro, I have fairly high expectations for the Davidoff Nicaragua - a nearly $20 cigar.04:15 - Unboxing Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8pPdte-ZXh0LmWljaG56gSL5GfhSX0po06:34 - Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCI3ZpqzkiUAfter cutting the end of the cigar, the cold draw produced flavors of wheat and grass that were very light. When lighting the cigar, the first flavors were classic Nicaraguan with hints of both spiciness and sweetness and just a whiff of leather. The initial draw is a little tight.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: DavidoffLine: NicaraguaSize: 5 1/2 x 54Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $19.50 Wrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-davidoff-nicaraguaThrough the middle of the cigar, the burn was a little uneven. The flavors were ok, and the draw was perfect. However, for a nearly $20 cigar, I was a little concerned about the value for the price since the cigar became soft going into the final third.Final Thoughts:The Davidoff Nicaragua Toro is a good cigar, but not a great one. It's a little expensive for what you get, and, for the price, I think it should smoke a little longer and have better construction. There were some minor issues where the cigar had an uneven burn.For me, this particular stick of the Davidoff Nicaragua Toro earns a CigarScore 4 - it's got some minor issues, but it's still a good cigar.#CigarScoreTV #LuxuryCigarClub :::::Find & Rate Where to Smoke Cigars at https://www.cigarscore.comCIGAR DEALS::::::Cigar 5-Packs: https://jo.my/mlunpiCigar 10-Packs: https://jo.my/8kfajfCigar Samplers: https://jo.my/oady8qBoveda Packs: https://jo.my/fbtwzr:::::Get CigarScore Emails - https://www.cigarscore.com/subscribe::::: SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cigarscoreTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/cigarscoreInstagram: https://Instagram.com/cigarscoreMy Music: https://www.ellorywells.com/soundstripe::::: AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: Hey, so, some of the links in my videos and descriptions are affiliate links.

I love it when people ask me to review a cigar. I love it, even more, when someone gives me a cigar to review! And the latter is the case with today's stick, the RoMa Craft Wunderlust Robusto.Typically this cigar is exclusive to the European cigar market, and it's unlikely you'll find it on any shelf in a lounge near you (that is until CigarScore goes international).After giving the end the old snippety-snip, the initial cold draw was practically perfect and the cigar had flavors that were might lighter than the dark, Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper might indicate, also with hints of cedar.Once the RoMa Craft Wunderlust is lit, the cigar provides plenty of smoke, and I expect to thoroughly experience this stick.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: RoMa CraftLine: Wunder|LustSize: 5 x 50Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $9.61 USDWrapper: Brazilian Mata FinaBinder: Indonesia BesukiFiller: Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, HondurasSmoke Time: 70 minutesSave 15% on Cigars: 'https://famous-smoke.7eer.net/AD9XKNOTE: It looks like the GPS coordinates 52.197398, 8.591870 found on the Wunderlust's label lead nowhere.

Probably the first thing I noticed about the Holy Braille by Chico Rivas after taking it out of the cellophane was how awesome the cigar smelled. The Dominican Habana HVA wrapper leaf was giving off a truly amazing aroma, and I was very eager to get into this stick.1:00 - Unboxing March Good Cigar Co: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG22rfXJ84cOn the cold draw, the Holy Braille delivers a tangy citrus flavor that's quite unlike the aroma of the wrapper. In fact, the cold draw flavors of the inside of the cigar and the smell of wrapper are quite different. After lighting the cigar, I could taste something familiar, but I wasn't quite able to place it.Doing a little digging, I found out that the Holy Braille is actually a Caldwell cigar, and that Chico Rivas is the blender.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: CaldwellLine: Lost & Found, Holy BrailleSize: 6 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.88 - Good Cigar CoWrapper: Dominican Republic Habano (2008 Vintage Habana HVA)Binder: Dominican RepublicFiller: Dominican RepublicGet 15% Off Cigars: https://famous-smoke.7eer.net/AD9XKFinal Thoughts:Honestly, the Lost & Found Holy Braille by Chico Rivas doesn't live up to the Caldwell brand that the company has painstakingly hidden on this cigars label.

Oveja Negra Brands is a company who makes both the Black Works Studio cigars and the Black Label Trading Co cigars. And today, I'm reviewing the Black Works Studio Killer Bee Maduro.I picked up the Killer Bee because it looks cool! This cigar has what looks like 5 caps, each a different leaf color (and probably type) to give the cigar a layered look like the body of a bee. The dark, Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper appears oily and delicious.After punching through all of the caps, the draw was perfect, and after torching the closed foot, I could immediately tell that the flavors were going to be very bold, like overroasted coffee.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Black Works StudioLine: Killer BeeSize: 4 1/2 x 46Cut: PunchLight: Torch MatchesPrice: $7.50Wrapper: Ecuadorian MaduroBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 65 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-blackworks-killerbeeFinal Thoughts:I was very impressed with the Black Works Studio Killer Bee Maduro.

I've had an interesting experience with Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust's cigars. While I've found them generally good, I've also found them unnecessarily expensive.However, over the past few months, I've had several friends recommend that I give the Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust Sobremesa Brulee a try. And, given my new found love of lighter cigars, I thought I'd smoke the Brulee today.The Sobremesa Brulee toro is an interesting cigar. It's got an oddly smooth but textured wrapper, that looks like it has tiny crystals on it. After torching the end and cutting the tip, I can immediately taste very sweet flavors that lead me to think this cigar has a sugar tip on it. We'll research that =) First impressions are flavorful ones!CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: Dunbarton Tobacco and TrustLine: Sobremesa BruleeSize: 6 x 52Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $13.45 - Luxury Cigar ClubWrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut ShadeBinder: Mexican MatacapanFiller: NicaraguaSmoke Time: 79 minutesBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-dtt-sobremesabruleeFinal Thoughts:Wow, the Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust Sobremesa Brulee is a wonderful cigar.

Perdomo is one of my favorite cigar brands. (Click BELOW for all Perdomo cigar reviews). When I discovered the Perdomo Champagne, my world was turned upside down and my perspective of lighter cigars changed.All Perdomo Reviews: https://www.cigarscore.com/tag/perdomo-cigars/09:24 - Hooten Young Gothic Serpent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv-0p6zlKtcSo, when I saw that Nick Perdomo and his team had blended a darker version of one of my favorite cigars, I knew I had to smoke it. Today we're diving into the Perdomo Champagne Noir Epicure, which is a cocoa-colored (ie. noir), much bolder-looking version of the Champagne than I've been used to.After cutting and lighting the Noir, the flavors were good, like those of chocolate cake, but the binder and filler tobaccos were so densely packed that I struggled to get a good draw.CigarScore Merch!: https://click.cigarscore.com/merchytUse coupon code  CIGARSCORETV  to get 15% OFF!Brand: PerdomoLine: Champagne NoirSize: 6 x 54Cut: GuillotineLight: TorchPrice: $8.75Wrapper: Nicaraguan Cuban Seed MaduroBinder: NicaraguaFiller: NicaraguaBuy This Cigar: https://click.cigarscore.com/fs-perdomo-champagne-noirFinal Thoughts:The Perdomo Champagne Noir Epicure is like the regular Champagne, but not.
