I enjoyed both vitolas equally. Both will pair great with the conventional Connecticut cigar pairing of coffee. Both will also stand well by itself, as the cigars provide good depth of flavors, body and finish for any time of the day. Robert Holt’s years in the making has paid off well especially for us flavor forward cigar lovers.
Factoring in the depth and intensity of flavors, full body and just a well executed version of a Connecticut Broadleaf, this is one of the best offerings of Tatuaje I have smoked.
Definitely approachable to any smoker and I would highly recommend that you pick some up. Not that it factors into the scoring, but the price is right and the smoke time is easy to fit in when you may be short on time or ideal weather conditions. Go get some.
A friendly Futuro battle between Kyle Gellis of Warped and Max Fernandez of Casa Fernandez. Who will reign supreme? Both using the same tobaccos, before smoking them, I wondered, “How different could they truly be?” Could different cigar sizes and ratios of the same tobaccos cause a noticeable difference?
This was a fairly sharp and robust rendition of Kyle's Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo blend. I'm interested in purchasing a fiver or tener to age as I believe this will be a great cigar to lay down.
C.L.E. Cigar Company is shipping the long awaited C.L.E. Chele and C.L.E. Prieto lines next week! These cigars are different from what Christian Eiroa, Founder and CEO of C.L.E. Cigar Company is known for. These are the first cigars from the C.L.E. Cigar lines that are made in Nicaragua.
Overall, this was a good cigar. In regards to Candela's, this was a very good cigar. With a medium to mild strength overall, this would be a cigar that I think anyone could enjoy. It's not too grassy like some other Candela's can be, so for those wanting to try Candela again, I would recommend this as a good re-entry point.
Given the new wave of semi-recently released Connecticut cigars, the Southern Draw is a strong contender amongst the competition. There is a great interplay of sweetness and spice that can be enjoyed in the morning, day time or even night time.
The immensity and honor of going to Nicaragua for the first time to feel the vibes, smell and touch the tobacco within all stages, crumbling the rich black dirt in my hands and converse with the community of our hosts and fellow brothers of the leaf are fond memories I will never forget.
The My Father El Centurion H-2K-CT line was released in July of 2015 with two vitolas, a Toro (6x52) and a Corona (5.5x48).
