Vegas Robaina Famoso
Smoked 31 July 2011. Box code LPM ABR 08; in humidor since 20 January 2010. This was far more like the Famosos that I’ve smoked and loved previously, but it was still quite tannic. Considering this was now over three … Continue reading

Partagas Serie D No. 4
Smoked 2 July 2011. Box code TEB AGO 08; in humidor since 12 July 2010. This particular cigar has changed my view on the D4. Previous experiences have been underwhelming at best but as it seems to have numerous fans … Continue reading
