Author: Rhonda Monique
April 23, 2009

Price: $56.00 for a box of 10

This incredibly well-made masterpiece from Villazon absolutely drips with flavors so rich that they had to seal them in glass tubes! Featuring a rich chocolate brown Sumatra wrapper grown in Ecuador on the world famous farms of the Oliva family, this bold cigar is a delight to the senses. Complex flavors abound as the Suntuoso is smoked through its entire length, and believe me, you will want to smoke every inch of this superb cigar until it burns your fingers.

WEEKLY CIGAR TASTE: JOSE SEIJAS SHORT FIGURADO

Author: Rhonda Monique
March 24, 2009

Price: $280.00 (Chest of 25)

Available at fewer than 200 tobacconists worldwide, the Jose Seijas Signature Series is a high end, small production cigar.

Despite being the factory’s most limited cigar, it is far from uncommon to find Jose walking the factory floors with a Seijas Signature Series burning in-hand. After all, it’s been his everyday cigar for some time now, hence the name. It is medium to full bodied with a complex mix of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian long fillers and is finished with an oily Sumatra wrapper. The result is a superior, ‘92’ rated handmade with savory, satisfying flavors.

TASTE THE ROYAL JAMAICA GOLD ROBUSTO

Author: Rhonda Monique
March 16, 2009

Box of 25: $75.00 This cigar has a unique flavor, due to the inclusion of the namesake Jamaican tobacco in the filler blend. The Jamaican flavor can best be described as sweet and creamy. But don’t mistake the sweetness for sugary sweetness. The flavor is less pronounced, but yet it permeates throughout the smoke. Sweet with spice hints. Between mild and medium-bodied. The cigar smoke provides a fantastic aroma, and the cigar itself is easy to enjoy.

With enough stories to cover several lifetimes, told through eighty-eight keys, Abdullah Ibrahim s Senzo reveals that his …uninhibited, intimate relationship with sound combines the sage wisdom of an ancient shaman with the insatiable curiosity of a little boy …[the pianist] not only catches up with his ancestors, the widely traveled nomad also finds himself.

    WEEKLY CIGAR TASTE: OLD HENRY ROBUSTO

    Author: Rhonda Monique
    January 19, 2009

    Old Henry RobustoThe brand boasts a fair amount of credibility because it’s made by none other than industry superstar Don Pepin Garcia. According to Holt’s, “Pepin outdid himself in creating this masterpiece and for the price you won’t find a better, tastier cigar on the market.”The classically sized Robusto (5 x 50) sells for $104 for a box of 25 or $26 for a five-pack—not exactly what I’d call value prices. But, given the Nicaraguan puro’s blender, expectations are certain to exceed those of the average house brand stick.

    It holds a predominantly earthy flavor with hints of clove, leather, and peppercorn, all of which is best when cocoa wafts in and out.
