Quick Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente | Don Carlos Eye of the Shark

The Eye of the Shark comes with a mystique of its own. It is a slightly milder and crisper cigar than it's fellow Anejo shark. The construction is just as pleasant with a nice wrapper color and build. Again, this cigar was an amazing treat with a softer beginning to a leather and spice finish that never overpowered and never diminished. If you are able to find these at not outrageous prices do yourself the favor.

Quick Cigar Review: Nomad | Martial Law

This was a really good cigar, not overpowering, but lots of flavor. It changed quite a bit throughout the thirds, but was always balanced. Construction was superb with an even burn and tight but good draw, think Cuba. Glad I bought a box.

I would consider this above average. Definitely something that you could enjoy when you’re looking for something mild like a morning smoke.

Quick Cigar Review: Sindicato | Particulares #1

This was an great cigar. This is one cigar that you can’t judge based on appearance. This cigar ramped up quickly on the strength aspect but was never harsh. This cigar was a recent purchase and did not have much age on it. I am curious what aging would do to these. I enjoyed the flavor profile throughout, while the cigar didn’t drastically change the core flavors would come and go throughout. I will definitely be picking up a fiver.

Quick Cigar Review: HVC | Edicion Especial 2015 Toro

This cigar carried a bit more strength than I expected based on previous cigars from HVC. It has darker flavors which would make me lean towards smoking it in the evening or as a final cigar of a multi-cigar smoking experience. There weren’t many transitions, but that is OK as the cigars flavors were good. I wouldn’t recommend this cigar to a new smoker, but rather someone that is interested in strength along with flavors of earthiness, coffee and wood.

Quick Cigar Review: Viaje | Skull and Bones The Hulk

There's almost a sneaky level of nicotine that keeps building slowly the entire time. It wasn't enough to make me dizzy but I could feel that warm sensation in my stomach. The burn was pretty good but it was slightly wavy the entire time but I didn't need to touch up or relight it at any point so it had that going for it. The draw was snug but the smoke output was ample and had a creamy mouthfeel. There's not a crazy amount of flavors that will keep you guessing but the experience that it provides is very solid and almost the classic Nicaraguan experience I look for in this style.

Quick Cigar Review: Warped | La Relatos The First

I really enjoyed the La Relatos, there was enough transitions to really hold and make me pay attention to the cigar. The draw was a little tight, and if i wasn't reviewing it I would have used a draw tool, which I feel would work wonders. Really nice construction, it gave me about an inch and a 1/2 of inch before I felt I had to tap it off. Only one rel-light that I can remember, and the cigar last me almost 2 hours.
