"This cigar had many of the things I enjoy... great construction, draw, and burn with a wonderful medium-full bodied profile. The complexity of this cigar was fairly decent as well, ranging in flavors from leather, black pepper, cream, peanut butter, and malt made for a fantastic combination. All these fine attributes made for a smoke I'd pick up again, and so should you!" -John A. (Bostoneo)

Rocky Patel Premium Cigars (RPPC) has announced a new cigar only available outside the United States. The Rocky Patel Grand Reserve will be displayed at this week’s InterTabac Cigar Show in Dortmund, Germany, and will ship in October.
"This cigar was very enjoyable IF you take your time. Because of the looser draw, some cadence is required so it didn’t overheat and throw off flavors into the mix. Overall, the wonderful first and second third with a medium-bodied profile with various leather, earth, and peppery tobacco flavors as well as a myriad of other nuances that showed up. Getting into the last third was a bit difficult for me as this cigar started to turn full body mode and required a bit of constitution to finish. If you’re looking for some delicious excitement with a slap your mama in the face ending, this cigar might be just for you!" -John A. (Bostoneo)

·"I enjoyed this cigar. The cold aroma of maple leaves was unique, and the mix of caramel and cream and leather and maple and pepper and baking spices and sweetness was quite enjoyable, and changed frequently enough to keep me interested. Recommended." -Derek (StogieNinja)
General Cigar has announces a new line of cigars for it's CAO brand: CAO Bones. But it's more than just cigars, it's a celebration of dominoes, and dice.
"The first half flavors were similar but lacked much interest before some cedar broke through. The final third, however, offered up a nice richness of slightly burnt coffee with wood char and an oiliness to the leather on the finish. Perfectly balanced flavors that really elevated this cigar." -Gregg (McGreggor57)
"This was a winner from beginning to end. An abundance of flavors ranging from chocolate and cocoa to nutmeg and leather. Strength was medium throughout but not mild. I would definitely smoke this cigar again. And I would recommend this to anyone wanting to rethink lanceros. Extraordinary smoke." -Kevin J. (maninblack77)
