I just received these Legends in the mail and couldn’t wait to light one up. I know, I know… You’re saying “Daniel, you really should have left them in the humidor for a few days to ease their traveling woes,”.

“Evening Smoke” I haven’t visited The Edge camp for a few months, so lighting up this cigar was a pleasant and satisfying experience. If want best bang for the buck, The Edge is your ticket to pure cigar enjoyment. The construction was great: a thick, smooth Maduro wrapper with the perfect amount of oily moisture. This cigar was so tough that my first cut actually glanced off the cap leaving me with a partial cut. With visions of a ruined cap I proceeded cautiously ... Read Full Story

This Pinot lived up to its name. It was all things ironic. For starters it was a lot darker than most Pinots. No problem there. The letdown, however, was that this was a fairly straightforward wine with no complexities to speak of. It moved quickly through the beginning, skipped the middle and ended better than it started, but not by much. To be sure, it was smooth and did have some decent acidity at the end but not what I expected. There are many better Pinots out there in the $15-20... Read Full Story

I was given this cigar as a gift. I am so glad I didn’t pay for it! It actually started out okay. It looked fine and smelled normal, but it didn’t smoke well. For starters the draw was way too tight. I think my cheeks were sore the next morning. Add to this the terrible waxy feel in my mouth that it left. I can only describe as tasting soapy. If this were not enough, it began to get pretty hot in my mouth about halfway down. It is for this reason I give this cigar a 65 ... Read Full Story

“Everyday Smoke” After my last Gurkha Review, which was unfortunately poor, I’m pleased to announce a winner! The Black Puro was velvety smooth with a hint of spicinesses through the nose and on the tongue. I had remembered them as being a little more full bodied but this particular stick was a perfect lunchtime smoke.I was around 70° with a slight breeze on a beautiful day here in San Diego so the whole experience was just about perfect. This smoke was full of roasty f... Read Full Story

“Evening Smoke” I have had 6 or so of these Cienfuegos lurking in the depths of my Humidor for 3 months or so. I figured for variety’s sake I would break one out. The result of this experiment was remembering why they were lurking in the depths of my Humidor in the first place! All said and done they tasted fine but the burn was as erratic as a Jr Higher drinking Red Bull! This smoke started off promising as I inspected the wrapper and overall construction. the wrappe...
