J&D Allure
I’m sure I met the cigar maker of J&D Cigars last year at the industry trade show. I just don’t remember. There were so many people to meet and so many cigars to taste. It was overwhelming. Thankfully, the cigars made by J&D Cigars are definitely memorable. I have previously reviewed the Temptation, and was as delighted with that as I am with this cigar. I am...
Pedro Martin Ruby- Precious
When Maria Martin left Comacho to go back to her own family business it was a signal that people would now begin to realize how good the Pedro Martin Family cigars were. Her father knew how to make cigars and she knows how to sell them. This is the second of the Martin Family cigars that I have smoked and I have been happy with both. This one had a particularly interesting flavor...
Debonaire – Interesting!
Debonaire Ultra Premium Cigars were intimately developed out of the passion to experience the perfect cigar at the hands of Philip S. Zanghi III, founder of Indian Tabac Cigar Company and Daniel Sinclair, founder of Durfort Holdings. Better known for its rum, this is a new venture into premium cigars. While the marketing concept of using a popular rum brand to ignite the brand of a new cigar...
Reserva Dorada
When I pulled this stick from the humidor I knew nothing about it. A little bit of research turned up some info. This is a bundle stick, coming in at less than $50 for a bundle of 25. It is made by MJ Frias who is known for flavored cigars. Nevertheless, I examined and reviewed this stick before knowing any of this info. Sometimes it’s best to just smoke a cigar and then find out...
Diesel – Lets an Old Man Feel Hip
I am a traditional sort of guy. Staid, conservative, New England through and through. So, I was surprised to like an upstart, edgy, hip cigar so much. It had been resting comfortably in my humidor since the summer trade show, and I finally decided to give it a try. This cigar is made by AJ Fernandez, who makes many other cigars most notably the Latano line. Given his many years of...
Head Hunter
I reached into my humidor one day and came out with a nice looking Belicoso. This cigar, with a light wrapper and a firm feel, seemed to call out to me. Unfortunately when I went to do some reasearch I was unable to turn up anything useful. Repeated calls to the maker, MJ Frias, went unanswered. This doesn’t make this any less a good cigar, it just makes it hard to find. I clipped...
