Another Winner comes from 231 Rockhill Road
Cuban Stock has done it again!!! It has been a tiring year at CigarMayven.com. We had several challenges with our CigarMadness2016 contest. All of our reviewers were smoked out having to smoke and score well over 65 cigars in a short 6 week period. Speaking for myself, I took a few weeks off from cigars. And then cam back to deal with web issues that had developed while we were all busy...
Esteban Carreras- A Nice Smoke
It’s been quite some time since I enjoyed reviewing a cigar. Reviews over the past month or so have focused on our CigarMadness2016 smoking contest. Results of that contest should be posted within a few weeks to coincide with the basketball. It has been fun smoking and reviewing some great sticks. But it has left little time for other reviews. If you can’t sympathize because...
Headlines Cigars – A nice obscure smoke
Every once and a while I sort through my humidor. I go looking for sticks that have been put away for later review. In our review policy, we have a somewhat randomness to the order. Unless we are given something by a forend that we judge to be too good or bad, we generally don’t write immediately. Rather, we let the cigars rest gently in our humidor. From time to time we go...
A Cigar with an Impressive Vintage- Pressoir by Chinnock
It’s not often that you get to write nice things about nice people. But this cigar is made by a nice guy. Brian Chinnock, a wine maker from Napa Valley, knows about the land and cultivating products. So, it is only natural that after conquering wine Brian should turn to another passion, cigars. His terroir, previously reviewed, is a very nice smoke indeed. So, it is with pleasure...
Cuban Stock Exquisito Libertado Again
Back in November 2013 my compatriot reviewed the Exquisito Limitado by Cuban Stock and awarded it an overall score of 4.0. I recently tested the same cigar from Cuban Stock and we decided that another review could be interesting. Cuban Stock is actually Crown David Inc. doing business as Cuban Stock and the company was founded by Yaniv Levy back in 1995. As explained to me by Yaniv at the 2013...
An Exquisite Cuban Stock Exquisito
I’ve met a lot of cigar makers. Many are humble farmers. Many are mild mannered and soft spoken. All share a passion for tobacco. The owner of Cuban Stock has the passion for tobacco, but is in no way soft spoken or laid back. His challenge to me when we met at the recent trade show, “Smoke my cigars and tell you don’t like them”. But, I couldn’t meet...
