Cohiba Puro Dominicana Robusto

This cigar has some great potential, but I think it could have used a bit more humi time. Draw was a bit tight and burn was a not great. The flavor profile on the first handful of puffs was a bit off, but it did open up after a bit. Unfortunately when it hit the final third it kept wanting to go out and with the tighter draw I didn't have luck keeping it going. Make no mistake though, this cigar has some shinning moments...I just wish they lasted longer.

Carlos Torano Master Churchill

Had the privileged of smoking the 'Master' by Carlos Torano, and this stick has easily soared into my top Cigar slot. Not only was it a beautiful looking cigar with its dark, Ecuadoran Habano wrapper, but it was one of the most unique cigars I've ever smoked! Right away I picked up on the chocolaty floral and dried fruit notes that blasted me out of the gate. The cigar was very smooth with only a slight spice through the nose. The only thing I wasn't fully impressed by with this cigar was the burn. I did have to touch it up after most ash drops, but I would be interested to see how this changes with some added aging time. I will be buying more of these despite them being a bit harder to track down. I suggest you do the same!
