Golofina vintage cigar
I bought this a while back as part of a vintage cigar sampler. I believe the Golofina is a puro ie. rolled entirely from tobacco from one country; in this case, Jamaica. This particular cigar is believed to be from … Continue reading

I thought I’d give this a go as I’d heard good reports on the seconds ie. indistinguishable from the proper one. I don’t have a lot to tell you in all honesty. Construction and burn were good, taste wasn’t particularly … Continue reading
