Redux: Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Lancero
The Don Carlos Lancero is a cigar that I should like. Up until December 2011, the Don Carlos Lancero was a rather rare specimen reserved for Casa Fuente, Prometheus releases and other limited fashions that meant walking into a B&M and purchasing a box was out of the question. Truth be told, for the most [...]

Back in April of 2011, Andre Farkas of Viaje Cigars attended an event at Tobacco Grove in Minnesota.

Redux: Cain F Lancero
For those of you that don’t know… Back in December of 2010, I first reviewed the (then preproduction) Cain F Lancero. This is what I said over a year ago about this cigar: The interesting thing to me is how much in common, yet unlike the other Cain Fs this Lancero blend is. I always [...]

Redux: E.P. Carrillo Edición Inaugural 2009
Today we will be looking at the , a cigar I reviewed way back in August of 2009. This turned out to be one of those cigars people loved or hated for various reasons, but I loved the cigar back then, mostly due to the incredible balance and complex, albeit fairly light, flavors. Here is what [...]
Redux: Oliva Master Blends 1 Torpedo
It has been a while (i.e. 9 months) since our last Redux Review (of the Coronado Maduro, smoked while I was in Mexico), and I thought I would bring another installment to this series… This time, I wanted to do a Redux Review on one of the first cigars I reviewed after starting the blog [...]
Redux: Coronado Maduro Corona Especial
The La Flor Dominicana Coronado Maduro did not exactly take the cigar community by storm when it was released in mid-2009.
