El Centurion Toro

The El Centurion Toro measures 6 1/4 x 50 with a rich earthy aroma to the smooth, dark tan wrapper. The El Centurion was released previously in 2007, but only releasing around 2,500 boxes. This time, the cigar will be a regular produced cigar, "...this time using four Nicaraguan seed varietals: Criollo, Corojo Habano, Sancti Spiritus, and Criollo 98 for the wrapper." 

When you get the cigar lit up, you get a smooth rush of chocolate/grass flavor with a minty earth on the finish. A strange finish, but still nice. The finish has no overpowering spice, but you can feel it creeping in. Through this point, the cigar has a nice even burn, a snug draw, and good smoke output.

The 2/3's point brings about the same flavors, except the chocolate flavors transitioned to the finish. You'll still get a grassy/moss flavor initially, then a chocolate/spicy finish. The cigar, through this point still has an even burn, good draw, and good smoke output. So far a nice stick.

3/3's to the end looses the earthy/grass flavors and brings in a coffee/chocolate flavor. The chocolate never leaves the cigar, it just transitions back and forth. The spice never made it's entrance, and the finish stayed chocolate/earthy. Another great cigar from My Father Cigars.

Room 101 305 by Camacho

The Room 101 305 by Camacho measures 5x50 with a nice, smooth medium tan Habano wrapper. The cigar has a sweet earthy aroma with a nice somewhat tight pack. This cigar features Honduran binder and Honduran/Dominican filler. This Room 101 specially blended by Camacho looks like a great stick, so let's get started.

When you get the cigar lit up, you get a very salty black pepper with a nutty finish. The strength of the black pepper, one would think that there would be a spice on the finish, but there is none at this point. So far we get a nice even burn, a great draw, and decent smoke output.

The 2/3's point brings sweeter flavors to the table taking away some of the salty flavors. At this point you start to get some chocolate notes. It's not the average chocolate flavor you find in cigars, it's more of a white chocolate. The finish is still relatively nutty with no spice. The burn has stayed even, the draw is still nice and easy, and still producing nice smoke.

3/3's to the end mellows out a lot of the flavor. At this point we are getting just a basic earthy flavor with the same nutty finish, but it's shortening up. Overall, a good medium bodied cigar. Easy to smoke, offering great construction, an even burn, a good draw, and good smoke output.

Diesel Unholy Cocktail

The Diesel Unholy Cocktail has a very nice, dark chocolate looking, soft wrapper. It features a somewhat loose pack, and a band located on the foot of the cigar. The cigar has a sweet, coffee/chocolate aroma to it. Originating from Nicaragua, I'm excited to get it lit up.

When you get the cigar lit up, you get a nice rush of black pepper with strong coffee notes coming in and out. On the finish, I'm getting a spicy, earthy creamy flavor. You notice right away how much smoke the cigar is giving you, which always adds to the smoking experience. The draw is nice and easy accompanied by a dead even burn.

The 2/3's point brings a few more flavors to the table. You start to get a spicy leather with a nutty finish. The spice is starting to mellow out, but it's still noticeable. Through this point, I'm still getting a nice even burn, nice draw, and great smoke output. So far so good.

3/3's to the end mellows out a lot of the flavors. The spice is not as strong as before, but it's still hanging out. The flavors are still about the same, I'm still getting a leathery/earth with a mild spicy nut on the finish. The burn on the stick was even the whole way through, the draw was great, and it produced a lot of smoke. Overall, a great smoke, thanks to @krynhamelink (Instagram), for sending me this cigar to review.

Rocky Patel Sun Grown Robusto

The Rocky Patel Sun Grown Robusto measures 5 1/2x50 with a slightly toothy feel to the dark tan, Ecuadorian Sun Grown Rosado wrapper (aged 5 years). The cigar features a mix of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Brazilian tobaccos (aged 7 years). Let's get it lit up and start reviewing.

When you get the cigar lit up, you get a very light, creamy, and sweet black pepper flavor with notes of peanut on the finish. There is a spice, but it's very mild, and it's moving in and out of the smoke. Through this point you get a semi-even burn, a tight draw, and good smoke output.

The 2/3's point brings a little more to the palate. A caramel flavor comes in to blend with the creamy, sweet black pepper flavor. A very unique combination. The finish is peppery, still with the spice moving in and out. Through this point, you still have a semi-even burn, the draw is still pretty tight, and the smoke output is great.

3/3's to the end loses a little flavor. The caramel falls off, but the black pepper stays. It's not so creamy anymore, it's more of a sharp pepper. On the finish, you still get pepper notes, but the spice has decided to stay for the end of the smoke. Overall, a basic, enjoyable cigar.

La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 54

The La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 54 measures 6x54 with a nice, toothy dark brown Jalapa Sol (Nicaraguan) wrapper. The cigar features Nicaraguan binders and fillers, and a medium loose pack. This cigar is new to La Gloria Cubana (2013), and it comes in three different sizes (6x54, 6x60, 6 1/4x64). Coming in around $6.25, this stick is definitely worth trying. Let's get it lit up.

When you get the cigar lit, you get a creamy, sweet black pepper flavor with a long, nutty finish. There is a spice on the finish, but it is very mild. Right away the cigar has a very easy draw, close to being "too easy", but it's not a problem. Around the middle of the 1/3 point, the flavor quickly changes from black pepper to an oily chocolate... but the finish remains the same. Through the beginning, the burn isn't very even, the draw is easy (as I mentioned above), but it's producing a lot of smoke.

The 2/3's point brings more flavor changes to the stick. You start to get a very creamy roasted nut flavor, with an earthy, almost metallic finish. It's a very unique smoke so far. You'll also start to notice a little salt mixing in on the finish. This cigar is filled with flavors... very enjoyable. The burn has evened itself for the most part, the draw gets a little tighter, and the smoke output is still producing a lot of thick smoke.

3/3's to the end does not bring as many changes as the rest of the cigar. The black pepper comes back in to play at this point, but the finish remains very earthy. I thoroughly enjoyed every puff of this cigar. Lots of flavor changes and a great price makes it easy to recommend.

La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial

The La Aroma de Cuba EE (Edicion Especial) No. 3 toro measures 6x50 with a smooth, dark tan, Ecuadorian wrapper that has a very rich earthy aroma. The cigar features Nicaraguan binders and fillers, and a very nice looking band. Now that we have the basic information down, let's get it lit up.

When you get the cigar lit up you get a very toasty, but sweet, rich soil flavor. On the finish you get a lot of cinnamon notes with a very mild spice. I've never picked up cinnamon in a cigar, so it was something new. The construction is flawless, accompanied by a very even burn, perfect draw, and great smoke output.

The 2/3's point brings a little change. The soil drops off leaving you with a tobacco/earthy flavor. The finish keeps the cinnamon, but the spice is intensifying. The burn has become a little uneven, but the draw is still perfect, and it's still producing a lot of smoke. A great stick through this point.

3/3's to the end doesn't bring many changes. The flavors are still very earthy mixed with the cinnamon on the finish. No spice at this point. The burn has evened itself out, the draw stays perfect throughout the whole smoke, and it produces a good amount of smoke. Running around $7, I highly recommend picking this cigar up sometime. Very enjoyable.

One Shot One Kill

The One Shot One Kill perfecto measures 4.5x38x54 with a nice, smooth, dark Nicaraguan wrapper also featuring Nicaraguan fillers. The presentation of this cigar is fantastic - a great band, perfecto shape, and a nice wrapper really add to this smoking experience. Created by Edgar Hoill, this cigar is new to the industry for 2013, and I'm excited to get it lit up for review.

When you get the cigar lit up, you get a sweet rush of dark chocolate with some coffee notes mixed in. Right away, the cigar is producing very rich, creamy smoke with leather/earthy notes on the finish. The construction of this cigar is flawless accompanied by a sharp even burn, smooth draw, and good smoke output makes the 1/3 point very enjoyable.

The 2/3's point, for the most part, keeps consistent with the 1/3 point. You're still going to get the coffee/chocolate flavors, but the finish changes just a little. The leather falls out of the finish leaving you with earthy notes, and a new spice that will linger in the back of your throat. The cigar is staying consistent with it's construction, and also keeping an even burn, a perfect draw, and great smoke output.

3/3's to the end of the smoke changes it up a little as you wrap up the smoke. The chocolate/coffee flavors die out/transition into a very rich tobacco flavor with some coffee on the finish. The spice doesn't last to this point, leaving you with a nice smooth end. A great new stick from Edgar Hoill... highly recommended.
