I took some time to sit down with the Excalibur Maduro #1 by Hoyo De Monterrey. The construction looked good except for a large vein running down the back side. Slightly toothy and very nice natural maduro wrapper. I was smoking this at Excalibur Cigar Club in Miramar (San Diego’s finest Cigar Bar on a [...]

The Romeo and Julieta Habana Reserve was a fine smoke. It started a little lack luster but ended up being a nice mellow smoke with minimal spice a nice woody/toasty overtone. The burn characteristics were great and the construction looked good. All in all a fine smoke. Be sure to stop by Excalibur Cigar Club [...]

This cigar was nothing but fabulous! I enjoyed it on my porch with a glass of water on a fine San Diego (Jamul) day. The construction was near perfect and the weight and density was just right. Very minimal veins and a smooth Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with a smooth cool drag. It started with a [...]
The Nubs always treat me well. This is the first time I have ever had one of the Connecticut wrapper variety and I must say it’s a nice change of pace. Velvety smoke with a nice toasty flavor. Not much spice and I have been fighting the drag but the burn is great and over [...]
