Romeo y Julieta Envy Amulet

Personal Cigar Review: Romeo y Julieta Envy Amulet

The Romeo y Julieta Envy Amulet had an average flavor profile through the first two thirds with a dry profile focused around toasted cedar, dry earth and black pepper. The final third dropped a level as the char appeared. Overall, I wasn't impressed with this cigar as the flavor profile was pretty mundane and didn't finish well. Not a cigar I'd see myself returning to.

Oliva Serie O Maduro Robusto

Personal Cigar Review: Oliva Serie O Maduro Robusto

The Oliva Serie O Maduro Robusto didn't start all that great with some staleness and carboard, but things came together in the second third with a nice combination of flavors, but then waned in the final half of the cigar. Not a bad offering, but not all that exciting either. This is a step above the Natural offering in the line, but I'm not sure I'd see myself coming back to it with any frequency.

Cigar News: Aganorsa Leaf Supreme Leaf Perfecto Announced

Aganorsa Leaf is proud to announce the latest size of Supreme Leaf—one of our most exciting and sought-after cigars ever produced. Using the same blend of entirely Aganorsa Leaf tobaccos grown on our farms in Nicaragua and packed in the same vibrant colors as the original production, Supreme Leaf’s seventh release will appear in a 6x54 Perfecto vitola.

Cigar News: Meerapfel Ernest Announced

In the late 1800s, Ernest MEERAPFEL left his family and the comfort and safety of his village of Untergrombach, to set sail and revolutionize the world of premium tobacco. In a similar way to the generations that came before him, Ernest traveled the seas and explored new territories to present the premium cigar landscape with a new sacred leaf.

Cigar News: Black Label Trading Company Bishops Blend Novemdiales Announced

Novemdiales is handcrafted at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua. It represents a revised iteration of the original Bishops Blend, by using a Pennsylvania wrapper with other slight revisions. Those that have grown to love this release will still recognize the distinctive flavors of the past with a fresh, nuanced perspective.

Personal Cigar Review: Kristoff Guardrail Robusto

Personal Cigar Review: Kristoff Guardrail Robusto

The Kristoff Guardrail Robusto started well, with an interesting combination of flavors. From the second third on, it dropped a level as the earth was a primary player and the supporting notes fell back. This was an interesting cigar to smoke with the Zimbabwe tobacco, but I'm not sure that I can pinpoint any specific influence it had on the blend. Interesting to try, but not something I'd really see myself coming back to.
