Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Depute

Posted on 2009/12/20 by Dave

More reviews here. Smoked Saturday 19 December 2009. This was a little tight on the draw after using a punch on it so I clipped the top with my Palio. Unfortunately, I managed to damage the wrapper so I ended … Continue reading →

La Flor de Cano Preferidos

Posted on 2009/12/20 by Dave

Further reviews here. Box code was CBNISU (December 1998). I took this out for a work party (Friday 18 December 2009) as I wasn’t going to have time to sit back and contemplate complexities. I had difficulty getting smoke from … Continue reading →

Por Larranaga Petit Corona

Posted on 2009/12/15 by Dave

Partagas Short

Posted on 2009/12/09 by Dave

More reviews here. A single from my local shop, smoked on Tuesday 8 December 2009. I was insanely tired when I smoked this, so I feel it unfair to comment really. I have another sitting in the humi to compare.

Nica Libre Torpedo

Posted on 2009/12/05 by Dave

I must admit I was surprised by this. The first NC I’ve smoked that didn’t remind me of a head shop. Been in the humi since 17 September 2009 and smoked Saturday 5 December 2009. Pre-light this smelt quite rich. … Continue reading →

Cuaba Divinos

Posted on 2009/12/05 by Dave

More reviews here. Received these in this delivery and they’ve only been in the humidor since then, so I’m not going to consider this representative of the cigar. That said, what an interesting cigar! Had a can of cold Sprite … Continue reading →

OK so this is not the most exciting thing you’ve ever seen on the internet, but I really want to tell you about it. Nulight sell these daylight-simulation bulbs at a very reasonable price and unusually, they have them all … Continue reading →
