Cala Cigars Gran Reserva A Robusto of jenky cosmetics, goodly mechanics, though dampening draw. Bright citrusy sour notes balanced cedar piquancy. A fusty natural tobacco drives as cocoa whispers.
San Lotano Oval The band brings to mind either a Vaquero’s belt buckle or a topshelf can of very authentically eye-talian tomato paste. I will give it a passing grade on this much: it is embossed and it is thick.
Caldwell Cigar Co. Murcias Especial Toasting the foot is a dance of leather and raisin led dried fruits. Some red pepper flakes. First hot pull is a stiff leather plate of raisins and dried cranberries.

Camacho Imperial Stout Barrel-Aged Veiny and not too tightly wound -- a lot like moi. It doth burn cleanly tough, and tightens up-on progression. Dense silvery ash. Retro-hale is a schnoz fulla wasps. Notes of Dark chocolate and fruit syrup with heavy peppercorn.
Man O' War Virtue Put yer toaster on low, insert Texas toast, slather with oleo. Sweet driving under-belly of caramel, light then thickening honey, yellow flowers. Hint of cardamon, dash of cinnamon sugar, and underneath that, a stewed green apple.
Illusione Rothchildes A rematch hath already been mentioned and too, seems begged. I just don't see it ending differently, lest a puncher's chance which dwindles by the quickening tick.
Xiphos NR Maduro "... Curly’s interest in show business grew as he watched his brothers, Shemp and Moe perform as stooges in Ted Healy’s act. After Shemp left the Healy act, Moe suggested to Healy that his kid brother Jerome was available and would make an excellent replacement for Shemp."
Ave Maria Immaculata Pale nuts mount -- which, gentlepersons, is how white babies are made. <rim-shot> Green nigh bite is subsiding. Artisan white bread is toasting. Cedar is getting at once more creamy and more roasted.
DAV Cigars Mestizo Stiffly-purposeful notes: peppery hardwood, coffee beans 'round charred earthen core. Slightly salted/sweet dried-savory far-undertones.
Felix Assouline Ringo Bullet A beautifully constructed, nice 'nuff performing box-pressed Robusto, bulging of richly black peppered roasted dark earth. Rather on a line, nuanced slightly by espresso woodiness.
