Cigar News: Casa Cuevas La Mandarria Shipping

The newest cigar from Casa Cuevas, La Mandarria, is now shipping. La Mandarria translates in Spanish to "the sledgehammer" and references the tool used by burglars that stole the entire Casa Cuevas inventory of cigars earlier this year. The cigar was shown off at IPCPR and only 500 boxes were rolled.

"All of the flavors were crisp and even though it took awhile to get there the pay off was certainly worth it. I would certainly recommend picking up a five pack and would smoke this anytime it was offered." -Alan (Eulogy)

Quick Cigar Review: Warped | The Absurd

The relights kinda hurt this one for me. I think I had to touch up once and outright relight it four times which was weird because it would just go out the moment after I took a draw. The flavors were very unique and I can't recall the last time I had a cigar with this upfront level of cinnamon in the profile but my tongue feels like its been rubbed raw from the experience. It sounds a bit harsh but in actuality this is a fantastic cigar as far as the flavors and smoke output is concerned.

Cigar News: Casa Cuevas Announces La Mandarria

Casa Cuevas Cigars has announced a Limited Edition cigar called La Mandarria which translates to "The Sledgehammer". Three months ago the Casa Cuevas warehouse was broken into and nearly all their inventory was stolen. They got away with more than 25,000 cigars, including the planned Limited Edition Flacos which they were unable to release. The perpetrators used sledgehammers to break through the exterior wall, hence the name La Mandarria.

"For a mild cigar this one checked off many of the points I like from a fuller bodied and fuller flavored cigar. I feel this is a cigar for almost anyone to enjoy, and look forward to smoking one again soon!" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

Blind Cigar Review: Cattle Baron | Bull

"All in all this wasn't a bad cigar. It had some issues with the draw but if once you get that figured out it's pretty tasty. It's easy to enjoy while doing another things, but on its own, if you're trying to really enjoy just a particular cigar, I don't know that it would work. What I have another? Yeah, I'd have another, but I'm not going to rush out in stock up on them. " -Isaac M. (The Nothing)

"In terms of transitions or flavor profile changes this cigar really didn't have any. That's not to say it wasn't an enjoyable smoke though. The core flavors of pepper, cedar, sweetness, leather, and espresso worked really well together. I couldn't say that this cigar wowed me but it was a really nice cigar with just enough going on to keep my interest. Depending on price I would say you should definitely give this cigar a try.

"This was a good looking and good tasting cigar for me. It met all three areas of “like” and the only down side was the little bit of tightness in the draw. I would love to smoke this again and again." -Diana (ArmyRN)
