Team Cigar Review: Alec Bradley Double Broadleaf Robusto

Team Cigar Review: Alec Bradley Double Broadleaf Robusto

I really enjoyed the Alec Bradley Double Broadleaf Robusto, and I will definitely be smoking it again. I will probably gravitate towards the Toro and Gran Corona vitolas, but that is how I am with Alec Bradley stuff. Very rich and filling. Great winter cigar.

Team Cigar Review: Casa Magna Connecticut Robusto

Team Cigar Review: Casa Magna Connecticut Robusto

The Casa Magna Connecticut Robusto is a lovely Connectict that has those classic qualities while available at a great price. Not overly complex, but enjoyable. Might be too mild for some. This would be a cigar I would smoke in the morning and afternoon. An easy Connecticut.

Team Cigar Review: AJ Fernandez New World Dorado Figurado

Team Cigar Review: AJ Fernandez New World Dorado Figurado

I really enjoyed the AJ Fernandez New World Dorado Figurado, and it was a nice return to the New World line/brand. I thought it was a solid Nicaraguan puro that delivered an enjoyable flavor profile that was present throughout. Not overly complex, or showing a lot of transitioning, but an overall good blend. I prefer the Toro vitola offering, but a nice Figurado.

Team Cigar Review: Ozgener Pi Synesthesia

Team Cigar Review: Ozgener Pi Synesthesia

This Ozgener Pi Synesthesia is the old CAO Gold. I'm saying it right now, and I am standing on this hill. If Tim told me otherwise, I would say he was lying. While the blend is not the same, this is the modern old CAO Gold. It's a good blend, and I would love to see it with some age. Would love to smoke this blend in a Lonsdale to Rothschild format. Citrus notes with some cedar, pepper spice, coffee and earth.

Team Cigar Review: HVC Selección No. 1 Esenciales

Team Cigar Review: HVC Selección No. 1 Esenciales

This HVC Selección No. 1 Esenciales was a really good cigar, and a cigar I would come back to over and over again. A strong cigar that has a flavor profile to my liking as well. Wood, leather, earth and cocoa qualities. Lots of pepper. I would smoke these all the time. Bring it on first thing in the morning. With that being said, this cigar lingers on the palate after smoking. It is great to see some awesome corona gordas released in 2022.

Team Cigar Review: Cuba Aliados Original Blend Robusto

Team Cigar Review: Cuba Aliados Original Blend Robusto

I enjoyed the Cuba Aliados Original Blend Robusto, and love the price even more. Nice blend that was approachable at many times. Not overly complex, but what was delivered was really enjoyable. Solid from beginning to end.

Team Cigar Review: Howard G All Pro Series Leon Searcy Lil Searc

Team Cigar Review: Howard G All Pro Series Leon Searcy Lil Searc

I loved the flavor profile on the Howard G All Pro Series Leon Searcy Lil Searc, body and strength, and how it smoked from beginning to end. Smooth cigar with nice flavors. Core flavors throughout with some transitioning and subtle changes in complexity. Good construction. Tuna approved!

Team Cigar Review: My Father Le Bijou 1922 100 Años Limited Edition Corona Especial

Team Cigar Review: My Father Le Bijou 1922 100 Años Limited Edition Corona Especial

Finally, a limited edition cigar that smokes like a limited edition cigar should smoke. What a fantastic cigar. Balanced and beautiful. Great draw and burn. Best cigar I have smoked in 2022. I could go on and on about this My Father Le Bijou 1922 100 Años Limited Edition Corona Especial. Great size. The creaminess with the pepper, leather and earth. Amazing! Well done!

Team Cigar Review: Asylum Ten 11/18

Team Cigar Review: Asylum Ten 11/18

I enjoyed the Asylum Ten 11/18, and it is no surprise. You present me with a Honduran blend like this and I will be happy. It is balanced and has a profile to my liking. There are subtle flavors throughout, and it is focused around wood, earth, barnyard and cream notes. Nice body and strength with that as well.

Team Cigar Review: Ferio Tego Timeless Ten Years

Team Cigar Review: Ferio Tego Timeless Ten Years

I really enjoyed the Ferio Tego Timeless Ten Years, and I thought the cigar was balanced while producing lovely flavors. Burn was not great, but that was not an issue. Yes, it would help with the score, but that does not deter me from smoking more. Price might, but not the burn. Again, good transitioning and complexity throughout. Nice depth. Good blend for the company.
