Neanderthal HN by RoMaCraft Cigar Review

The Neanderthal was first mentioned by RoMa Craft in 2014, but it wouldn’t see a release until 2015. There is a 4″ version called SGP that was once limited to two cigar shops in Texas. Today we look at the 5″ version called the HN and it contains 6 different filler tobaccos including an exceptionally strong variant of Double Ligero from Pennsylvania known as Green River Valley Sucker One. According to the guys at Romacraft the extra filler […]

Guardian of the Farm Apollo Cigar Review

A bit shy of two weeks ago we reviewed the Guardian of the Farm Rambo which I alluded to as being my favorite size of the line versus the review of today’s cigar which is currently the most popular. I promised at the time a review of the Apollo as a comparison to that review and a reader reached out to me on Facebook asking when this review would be written. So without further adieu we […]

Rocky Patel Vintage 2006 Churchill Cigar Review

There was a debate last week about Rocky Patel cigars on a popular Facebook group with basically a person asking if Rocky Patel cigars were over-rated and over hyped. Needless to say many people who buy into some of the social media hype surrounding cigars that make up a very small total of our industry didn’t buy into Rocky Patel. While not every blend is a winner, the Vintage 2006 is one of them. If […]

Padron Anniversary Presidente Maduro Cigar Review

My Friday’s are spent with one of the softest spoken, nicest gentlemen around who serves as the producer for The Cigar Authority podcast. Upon walking in to the office, Ed Sullivan announced that today we are smoking the Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Presidente Maduro. Not being one to argue, I graciously accepted his offer and the decision on what to smoke today was made. Cigar Review: Padron 1964 Anniversary Square Tube Wrapper: Nicaragua Binder: Nicaragua […]

Plasencia Alma Fuerte Nestor IV Cigar Review

At the 2017 trade show the Plasencia family decided to step into the limelight after making cigars for many superstars in the industry. Having 5 generations of experience dating back to 1865 in Cuba the company today makes 35 million cigars at their crop to shop operations in Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Panama. The name Alma Fuerte translates to Strong Soul and I first tasted the cigar in Miami at The Tank Brewing with national […]

JFR Lunatic Habano Short Robusto Cigar Review

When I first laid eyes on the JFR Lunatic all I was able to think about was the song Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider. Lunatic Fringe – we all know you’re out there. Can you feel the resistance? Can you feel the thunder? As for the brand it ranges from a 52 ring gauge all the way up to 80 ring gauge and as much as I was tempted to smoke the 8 x 80 bellicoso for today’s review […]

Oliva V Melanio Robusto Cigar Review

Around noon today a customer called up the shop to order some cigars and instead of ordering a box of his usually, he ordered a box plus one. However, he told me not to ship the cigar that he wanted me to smoke it instead. I told him I couldn’t do that, but he said if I shipped him the extra cigar he would just ship it back to me. As much as I want […]

Guardian of the Farm Rambo Cigar Review

Much of the fanfare has been around the Guardian of the Farm Apollo, and we will have a review of that in the near future. But having smoked all the sizes my first box purchase was today’s review Guardian of the Farm Rambo. While it would be easy to post the differences here I promise to have the other review up shortly. Not everyone will agree with me, but the Rambo is more in my […]
