Room101 Farce It Is A Lonsdale
The length of this cigar is 6.5 inches, and it has a ring gauge of 42 and Lonsdale style. The wrapper, which is smooth and oily, comes from Ecuador and has an Indonesian binder at its core. Inside, it contains fillers with a mix of five different regions’ prized tobaccos: Pennsylvania’s bold leaf; Connecticut’s nutty notes; Dominican Republic’s cocoa hints; Nicaragua’s peppery punch; and Ecuador’s sweet spice. When you take the first draw on this cigar, it wraps around your taste buds in waves of sugarcane syrupiness accompanied by ginger snap cookies feel. As you keep going, the sweetness becomes more intense turning to a deep maple syrup flavor combined with smoky bacon undertones like those found in Sunday breakfasts.
From the moment you light up, this stogie delivers decadent sweetness reminiscent of molasses gingerbread cookies. As you progress, you get a nice hit of black pepper spice. As you reach the second third, the primary flavors transition to leather, espresso, and earth. The finish is woody with hints of caramel sweetness. Construction is flawless with a straight burn, perfect ash, and dense yet silky draw. Each puff bathes your palate in rich, lingering complexity.
Padrón Serie 1926 No. 48 Maduro
Handrolled in Nicaragua, this 6 x 48 Churchill beauty really brings the flavor fire. It all starts with a core of super-aged Nicaraguan long-fillers, wrapped in a luscious Brazilian Maduro wrapper.
Padron tobacco has a very strong flavor that I have experienced and it is because of the fact that it is well-aged which explains why Every puff coats your mouth with layered flavors of cocoa, almond, honey, and cinnamon.
The rich smoke shows how Padrón scaled up the blend while keeping the signature complexity and refinement that makes the Serie 1926 so extraordinary.
First released in 2002 to celebrate founder José O. Padrón’s 75th birthday, this line was expanded in 2016 to honor the 48th anniversary of the Tobacconists’ Association of America with the No. 48 size. Originally only for TAA retailers, this lush Churchill is now a permanent part of the acclaimed Serie 1926 lineup.
Punch Diablo Scampere
The Ecuadorian Sumatra Oscuro wrapper is aged four years and appears darkened and textured upon first inspection. Below that is another quad-aged mix of Nicaraguan and Honduran Habano ligero leaves wrapped in a six-year-old Connecticut Broadleaf binder that is hearty. An indulgent spiciness with notes of wood, earth, and leather comes from blending tobaccos grown in these four countries together. This cigar is filled perfectly with double the amount of long filler from Nicaragua as well as Honduras
Once lit, it produces an earthy onslaught of rich soil, leather, and malty flavors. In the second third, there are hints of dark chocolate and nuts. The end brings stronger waves of black pepper, charcoal, and robust coffee.
Of all the powerful smokes in General Cigar’s portfolio nothing packs quite like Punch Diablo does. And it’s not just about strength either; this formidable nicotine kick has taken richness to new heights for any cigar under the Punch name so far. With every puff you take on a Diablo Scamp expect fudgy chocolates scattered with walnuts and espresso beans
Aladino Toro
This Honduran puro scored 93 points! The tobacco is grown by the Oliva family in Honduras’ Jamastrán Valley region, where they say this stick has pure Corojo seed genetics.
Lighting up releases warm, complex aromas, like a Middle Eastern stew made with exotic spices – something the cigar’s dull, matte wrapper leaf doesn’t hint at. Each puff bursts with flavors of bay leaf, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper over an earthy base.
Gran Habano La Conquista Gran Robusto
this bad boy is rocking a dual-wrapper combo! It’s packing an outer Mexican San Andrés leaf plus a Connecticut Broadleaf inner wrapper, perfectly complementing the filler tobaccos from Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic.
Lighting up you’ll instantly taste creamy milk chocolate, roasted almonds, and peppery spice. This stick is named after Columbus’ colonizing voyage to the Americas. It’s super oily with a shimmering copper glow. On the draw, it opens with cedar and nutty notes, followed by vanilla bean, cinnamon, and hearty whole wheat biscuit flavor
