A creation from Christian Eiroa comes the Asylum Premium 6 x 66. By the way, if you haven't tried the Eiroa by Christian Eiroa, I suggest you get on that soon... you're missing out. I hope to review that cigar for you guys at some point. But I digress - the Asylum Premium 6 x 66 comes at us with a maduro wrapper from Nicaragua along with a binder and fillers from Nica (a Nicaraguan Puro).
1/3 - This cigar is a beast. Measuring 6 x 66 (thus the name), featuring a beautiful, oily maduro wrapper. As soon as you light up, you get sweet notes of chocolate blended with a leathery finish. With this cigar, you get a nice even burn, an exceptional draw, and a lot of thick smoke.
2/3 - Transitioning into the 2/3 portion of this cigar, I'm starting to pick up a change of flavor. Hints of soil are starting to blend in with the chocolate flavor you get at the beginning of the smoke. On the finish, you have earthy notes and some pepper. You really realize the richness of this cigar when you get to this point.
3/3 - Coming to the end of this cigar, the notes of chocolate are making a comeback. Accompanied by a peppery finish, we come to the end of the stick. The Asylum Premium 6 x 66 has a kick-ass flavor profile as well as great construction. Great cigar for a great price.
H. Upmann The Banker
In 1844, Herman and Carl Upmann traveled to Cuba to create a cigar that they could give to their important clients. Now, here we are in 2014, and this cigar has been recreated and released. This classic looking cigar from H. Upmann comes to you with a beautiful, shiny Ecuadorian Habano wrapper surrounding fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican. It has everything you need for a great cigar, now let's get this beauty lit up.
1/3 - The first few puffs you take of this cigar bring you an incredibly rich peppery flavor with a spicy almond finish. It's not an overwhelming spice, but overall, it is pretty strong. After you really get into it, the flavor already starts to change from the pepper to notes of creamy chocolate. The finish stays consistent through this section of the stick with the spicy almond flavors.
2/3 - About halfway through the cigar, we get yet another flavor change. Transitioning from notes of creamy chocolate to a coffee flavor with a spicy/toasty nut on the finish. The construction is flawless through this point of the cigar. You get a dead even burn, very easy draw, and good amounts of smoke.
3/3 - Alright, we're coming up on the end of the stick, unfortunately. The cigar ends with a nice, smooth nutty flavor combined with notes of leather, chocolate, and coffee on the finish. A nice way to end a phenomenal cigar from a phenomenal cigar company. I don't usually buy boxes of cigars, but this cigar is too good not to. If you haven't had one, pick one up here.

Rocky Patel Supter Ligero
If you've read any of my reviews on this website, then you know that I'm not one to go and promote Rocky Patel. It's nothing personal against Rocky, I've just never had a Rocky Patel cigar to go crazy about. Anyways, I was sent his new Super Ligero to smoke and review. This cigar, featuring a Habano wrapper and fillers from Nicaragua and Costa Rica, is like no other Rocky Patel available. Here's the inside scoop:
1/3 - When you get this cigar lit up, you get a very woody flavor right off the bat. The finish brings a smooth chocolate flavor with some spice that lingers in the back of your throat and on your lips. So far through the 1/3 of this cigar, the construction is stellar. You have a very cooperative draw, a dead even burn, and a lot of smoke output.
2/3 - Now that we're breaking away from the first part of the cigar, it's beginning to get sweeter. Not in a swisher sweet way, but more of a cinnamon kind of sweet. Blending with the cinnamon, is a nice oaky/earthy note. The spice on the finish has vanished, leaving us with notes of earth, chocolate, and a little pepper.
3/3 - Coming up on the end of this Rocky Patel. Very enjoyable thus far. The initial flavor has not changed much, but I can't say the same about the finish. On the finish we have a very musky pepper flavor. Blends beautifully with the woody/cinnamon notes. A great cigar - I recommend picking it up if you can.
