I previously reviewed the Cosecha 149 and the Cosecha 151 is continuing the same theme of naming the cigar after the crop harvest number. The 151 is a Honduran puro as well. I enjoyed the 149 but felt it was lacking in flavor in the first half of the cigar. I like the idea of…

I have smoked a number of Quesada Cigars over the years and there were a couple of standouts from the past. I am partial to the Oktoberfest Limited Release, especially when paired with a nice dark beer. The Casa Magna Colorado was the first of the Casa Magna line and the Liga F (F stands…

The Micallef Blue is a follow-up release of the Black from last summer. I have smoked a number of Micallef Cigars over the years and I believe that they are severely underrated. I appreciate the business discipline that they follow in keeping a strong relationship with their customer base through communication and releases such as…

I like the idea of bringing the…

I will admit that the $13 price tag caught me by surprise, especially when Foundation decided to keep the Charter Oak branding. Naturally, I gravitated toward the Pasquale which revolves around the Connecticut Broadleaf seed. This line of cigars…

The Mule Kick is a cigar that I look forward to every year. I have hopes that one of these years it will match the greatness that was released in 2012. While I have written about Crowned Heads being a good limited-edition cigar brand in the past, I have found myself smoking mostly Crowned Heads…

The El Gueguense line was one of the first cigars I had from Foundation. I instantly fell in love with the medium-bodied blend and the company. If there was one cigar I would tell people to buy if they are just starting to smoke cigars, it is the El Gueguense in Corona. It is balanced,…

I have heard about Lampert a few times but if you aren’t completely in tune with the cigar industry, it is possible that you have not heard of this company. Lampert Cigars was founded by the lawyer Dr. Stefan Lampert. His first cigar line was MY CIGAR LAB and while on vacation he wanted to…

There have been a few cigars put out by Altadis by AJ Fernandez. These blends go all the way back to 2017 when the H.Upmann by AJ Fernandez was released with a sumatra wrapper. Then in 2019, the H. Upmann 175th Anniversary was released and was a highly rated cigar also by AJ Fernandez. With…
