Asylum 13 Connecticut Sixty Cigar Review

Each week on The Cigar Authority podcast we step into the insane Asylum with odd and historic news stores that are too insane to be true or are they. So while researching this weeks segment, I reached for the Asylum Connecticut for two reasons. The first reason, I wanted something mild and the second reason, the band reminds me of Christmas. Cigar Review: Asylum Connecticut Wrapper: Ecuador Connecticut Binder: Honduras Filler: Honduras (Corojo, Habano) Length: 6″ Ring Gauge: 60 Size: Gordo The […]

Gilberto Oliva Reserva Blanc Cigar Review

This past weekend the cigar industry lost another legend with the passing of Gilberto Oliva Sr. Like many great cigar makers, Gilberto Oliva was born in Cuba. In 1964 he settled in Nicaragua after he left the island nation when Fidel Castro began seizing tobacco fields and companies. In 1995, the company created their fist cigar available for sale in the USA named Gilberto Oliva. In time the cigar name was shortened to just Oliva […]

Upsetters Para Al Sapo Candela Cigar Review

The Upsetters Para Al Sapo comes to us from Nicholas Melillo’s Foundation Company. Now granted, not everyone loves a green cigar, but this one doubles down as it is also an infused cigar that smells like pachouli as it sits on my desk. Cigar: The Upsetters Wrapper: Candela Binder: Nicaragua Filler: Nicaragua, Jamaica Length: 4.5 Ring Gauge: 38/54 Size: Para Al Sapo The Look: The Upsetters comes in a black box the reminds of Acid Cigars. This isn’t shocking as Nicholas Melillo worked […]

Warped Cigars Black Honey Cigar Review

The Black Honey from Warped Cigars was released in 2015 where it quickly sold out and became highly sought after by cigar collectors and cigar geeks alike. This year, Warped Cigars released the cigars in two stages. The first batch was released earlier this year, and the company held back on the rest to allow the cigars to get some extra aging.

AJ Fernandez Enclave Toro Cigar Review

This week on The Cigar Authority we will be smoking the Enclave by AJ Fernandez. Yes, tomorrow on the show we will be sharing our thoughts, but I’ve been asked by a growing number of people to put up a review of the cigar we are smoking the day before the show airs live. I’m not really sure why, but it’s as good of a choice as any on the Friday in December. Cigar Review: Enclave […]

Bandolero Traviesos Cigar Review

Bandolero is like the red headed step child in the sense that is often over looked and in the shadow of Atabey and Byron. All three cigars are made by Nelson Alfonso’s Selected Tobacco. According to Alfonso, “With a history dating back to the 17th century the Bandolero cigar reveals the secrets known to very few that was passed down from old tobacco routes.” Today we expose those secrets with our review of the Bandolero […]

The Casa Cuba was a new blend that was given to the factory by phone from Carols Fuente Sr. before he passed away in 2016.

Winston Churchill Robusto Cigar Review

Happy Birthday Winston Churchill and a huge loud jeer to Google for not having a doodle on their homepage celebrating the 143rd Birthday of one of the greatest leaders of the free world. What better way to celebrate then to light up the cigar named after him. Tonight I will further the celebration with some scotch and some Iron Maiden, specifically the song Aces High which features in it’s intro an excerpt from a Winston […]
