The Danes have a long history of cigar production. Nobel have been produce cigarillo cigars for years. These dry cured cigars use 100% pure tobaccos from a ****************(info to follow, data sheet at work). The Petits come in rigid card board boxes of 20. There are 3 varieties, The Dominican, Sumatra and Fine Sumatra. In [...]

AT LAST!!! Right the relaunch of Dunhill pipe tobaccos has been one of the most antispated tobacco releases of the year, only the Cohiba Behike has caused so much anticipation. Such a shame the Anglo American Idiot Tobacco Company or Brisitish American Tobacco as it is more commonly known, have not been in any hurry to [...]

I am a fan of the Santa Damiana cigars, BUT i must confess i have never had one of the smaller Panatella. The Corona/Tubulares Extra is my standard, im going to give the Churchill a whirl one of these days. So many cigars & tobaccos not enough time. These “Panatellas” are more of a TPC [...]

Now i have never really been a big fan of Upmanns, a little too light and lacking any UMPH.  But on Saturday as i cracked a tube open to cut a cigar for a customer i was a little shocked to see the cigar was very dark, and i mean Brazilian maduro dark! At first [...]

They still use old watermill to power the leaf along with other traditional techniques from the C18th. Ice Liquorice is a combination of Strong Menthol and Liquorice flavours.

I have been neglecting my blog again over the last 2-3 weeks. Been busy with blah,blah, etc, etc. But now im back. I haven’t had a big cigar for the past few weeks. So after Monday i thought it was time for some rich tobacco, i was planning to dig into the Cain 550 Maduro [...]

I have been waiting to try one of the Cains for a while. After the Oliva V (Ligero) caught my attention, a full Ligero should be something special! Ligero is the the leafs from the top of the plant, the leafs are thicker, smaller and packed full nutrients. I was going to dig on Saturday, [...]

After having tried on the smaller “Robustos” i was rather looking forward to one these. The Robusto (No3) was nice and smooth, i was hoping for something with a sweetish side from the Brazilian wrapper. Out of the 4 vitolas available on the UK market the Corona has taken off the slowest. Much like the [...]
