Quick Cigar Review: Victor Calvo | Habano Gran Robusto

Victor Calvo is a new brand, but Victor Calvo is not new to producing cigars. The company has been producing cigars for other brands for quite some time. This cigar has an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler. The Gran Robusto measures in at 5”x55 and carries an MSRP of $4.80.

"I really enjoyed this cigar. It was nowhere near a powerhouse, and that's okay, because the flavors were some of my favorites. It's definitely a recommendable cigar." -Ron (shuckins)

Blind Cigar Review: Charlie Toraño | Captiva Robusto

"Overall, this was a good cigar. If the pepper did not lodge in the back of my throat, I would have rated this cigar a notch higher. The pockets of perfume like floral notes, coffee and cream was excellent. I wish these notes held on throughout the cigar. The last third was a bit of a let down due to the lack of concentrated flavors as compared to the first and second third. If I was given the opportunity to smoke this again, I would hold onto it hoping age will cure the pepper." -Jiunn (jliu)

Quick Cigar Review: Aging Room | Bin No. 1 B Minor

This was by far my favorite new cigar from IPCPR this year and one of my favorites overall this year. This was so smooth and buttery and the flavors were always balanced and great. It had just the right amount of spice throughout. The flavor profile and aged tobacco flavors I found are usually unique to Cuban cigars. It was full flavored and complex with lots of transitions without being overly powerful. The price is a bit steep, but I will be buying a box of these, no question. I give this a personal score of 96 (Extraordinary).

"Overall the cigar was a pleasant smoke. The initial and final thirds were not up to mark, but the middle third was excellent with several changes in flavors and with perfect burn and draw. I will definitely try this one again to see if some time in the humi might get rid of the harshness in the very final third of the cigar." -Sandeep (Djangos)

"This has been a good cigar to smoke. Not overpowering, but with enough spice and pepper throughout to keep my attention and make it enjoyable. It has been a nice, relaxing, creamy smoke. This would be a great cigar for a beginner looking to get into cigars." -Wes (SosaCub4Life)

Quick Cigar Review: Perdomo | Bugatti Habano Epicure

The cigar was very good overall. Slight transitions during the smoke, which kept it interesting enough. The flavors were good and present enough that you didn’t need to search for them. I think this cigar would pair very well with coffee, so maybe a morning or early afternoon smoke. The performance was very good. I could see myself smoking another one of these.

Blind Cigar Review: Arandoza | White Robusto

"More pepper showed up as it neared the end, bringing both strength and heat to the cigar. The oak flavor faded a bit, taking the cocoa with it as the coffee and leather flavors moved toward the front and provided a great finish to the cigar." -Ron (shuckins)
