Team Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Todos Las Dias Mas Fuerte Thick Lonsdale
The flavor profile was darker and to my liking, and this vitola offering is a great addition to the line. I think the consumers who are fans of Todos Las Dias will really enjoy the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Todos Las Dias Mas Fuerte Thick Lonsdale, and I would say it is my favorite size as well.
Cigar News: Providencia Releases La Misión Lancero
The multi-country blend of La Misión starts with rich Honduran and Nicaraguan filler that is bound with a sweet Indonesian leaf all wrapped with a well-aged, dark Honduran Habano wrapper. As with all cigars produced by Providencia Cigars, the Honduran leaf used in La Misión is planted, grown, and harvested by Providencia Cigars on a private farm in Honduras.
Team Cigar Review: Factory Smokes Sweets by Drew Estate Toro
This Factory Smokes Sweets by Drew Estate Toro has everything going against it in the eyes of the premium smoker. A $2 cigar with a flavored cap. I thought the flavor profile was good through the first half of the cigar with peppery and creamy wood. Even the flavoring added to the cigar was kind of enjoyable.
Personal Beer Review: Coronado Early Bird
The Coronado Early Bird is a satisfying and enjoyable cold brew milk stout. The flavors are balanced, and the cold brew provides a rich creaminess that carries through the entire session.

Team Cigar Review: HVC First Selection Limited Edition 2018 Broadleaf Short Robusto
The HVC First Selection Limited Edition 2018 Broadleaf Short Robusto was a spectacular cigar and a beautiful surprise. It has been sometime since I have had a Connecticut Broadleaf over Nicaraguan tobacco blend that has smoked like this, and it makes me want more.
Personal Cigar Review: Casa Turrent Serie 1942 Torpedo
The Casa Turrent Serie 1942 Torpedo is one of those good cigars where it manages to deliver layers of rich flavor from the start all the way to the nub. Given that Casa Turrent grows the San Andres wrapper themselves, it should be no surprise that the cigar ends up being a good example of the San Andres flavor profile.
Team Cigar Review: Villiger La Flor de Ynclan Lancero Especial
The Flor de Ynclan release in 2017 was a great cigar, but they've managed to create a Lancero that represents a peak of flavor performance. There is no doubt in my mind the Villiger La Flor de Ynclan Lancero Especial is a cigar that is going to be talked about on every top list at the end of 2018.
Personal Cigar Review: Sindicato Maduro Toro
The flavor profile through the first two thirds seemed a bit hollow and thin. The final third was much fuller even though it wasn't really desirable. Nothing here in the Sindicato Maduro Toro really to capture my attention or want to revisit this cigar, but people should give it a try to determine their thoughts.

Personal Beer Review: Modern Times Orderville
The Modern Times Orderville is a solid beer in the hazy IPA category. Although it's not strictly sessionable at 7.2%, the flavor isn't overwhelmingly hoppy, and delivers a balanced citrus experience.
Team Cigar Review: La Barba Ricochet Robusto
Not only is the La Barba Ricochet Robusto a great cigar for the company, it's a great cigar in general and a fantastic Mexican San Andres wrapper offering. The flavors were terrific from start to finish and it had a great bit of transitioning while remaining complex throughout.
Personal Cigar Review: Debonaire Maduro Sagita
If you like dark wood and meaty flavors, the Debonaire Maduro Sagita is a cigar well worth checking out. I'm interested in trying some other vitolas to see if they have this same flavor profile. If so, I could see it being an enjoyable line.
