I had the broadleaf double perfecto recently, one of the tubed ones, and it was fantastic. This is one of those cigars that is hard to find in a romusto size, and the romustos cost twice as much as the toro. I sort of want to try the toro because it's so much less expensive, but it's 54rg, and that just gives me a lot of pause. That the toros are easy to get, and cost half as much, tells me that people really prefer the romusto.


82202 - Blind Cigar #2 toro from Huzza. This was an excellent cigar, Huzza. Thank you! I'm calling it the premium without even smoking #3 yet. I'll happily be wrong though. If this is some $6 cigar, I'm buying some pronto, storage space be dammed.

Smoked at church

82208: Room 101 Muzzle Loader Gordo 6 x 60
Beautiful Habano wrapper and impressive construction. Lots of barnyard on the nose and kickoff. Routine earthy and woody, second third the Dr. Pepper retro of dark Mexican ligero and spicy strength of Nic ligero show up w/nothing really breaking out. Final third body and strength increases but flavor profile tastes like non-descript Habano wrapper and dark tobacco twang. I had expected more flavor out of this. I will call it Habano yard ‘gar.

82209 Ezra Zion Tantrum with thanks to jeebling.

Box pressed lancero medium brown matte wrapper. Draw is medium. First light nutty, peppery, dry but sweet. Nice mix of spices on retro. Settles to a very pleasant sweet nutty creamy smoke with a little pepper and assorted spices on retro. There's a little ligero metallic tingle in there but it's faint. Turned a little less sweet and more earthy spicy with more ligero presence in the last 3" but overall quite nice.

This was an excellent cigar. Well made and I enjoyed it. Took it down to the nub. Strength went to 11 in the final bit. Looked it up and their description is pretty spot on. Starts off aggressive, chills out in the middle, then punches you in the teeth at the end.

82210 - Unclaimed Maduro robusto grande

82211 La Barba Red with thanks to jeebling.


Starts off fairly bitter. Wet cedar. Slightly astringent. Open draw. Inch in, less bitter, more cedar. Quite muted. Being a Caldwell product I didn't have high hopes, it's living up to my expectations. Burn issuescame up after 2". Multiple attempts to correct left me with one side burning fast, one side a 2 inch long spear of glowing red rock hard coal that never turned to ash. What little flavor was there has left and it fell into the firepit.

82212 La Gloria Cubana Wavell with thanks to jeebling. LGC was a go-to brand of mine back in my shpo days. I remember riding my motorcycle to the shpo and they were having a LGC event. That was in 2010 and the first time i smoked more than 1 cigar in a sitting. May be a trip down memory lane. Maybe not. I only smoked the dark wrapper ones. This looks like a habano.

Lit it up. Dry woody flavors. No memories here. Pleasant. Nothing to excite or disappoint. It's not bad. Typical General Cigar fare. I finished it.

82213 - La Colmena Black Honey belicoso

82214- El Septimo The Raphael

Who knows. Could be the premium, could be the yard gar 🤔

You’ll have to smoke that last one soon and post your reviews and I’ll let you know.

82215 - Tabernacle broadleaf maduro
After steak cigar

82216 La Herencia Cubana with thanks to jeebling. I don't have high hopes, I remember these being stupid cheap on cbid when I first came here. I did buy a LHC core branded cutter for like $5. But that's the extent of my knowledge on the brand. Low threshold for tossing this one but I'll try anything once.

Lit it, wide open draw. Dry. No flavors other than just like a generic burning tobacco. Theres smoke, a burn on retro, but that's about it. I'll give it an inch or so to bring anything to the table.

It did not. This one's going on the bad list. Dry generic burning tobacco.

82217 - Punch Dragon Fire

82218- My Father La Promesa 5.5x54

82219 Montecristo Perlado with thanks to jeebling.

First light is the usual CT shade notes. At 2" it's needed a touchup and a relight. Could use another touchup but I don't think I'll bother. It's a CT shade from General. I'll leave it crooked. Closing in on halfway it's still doing nothing special. Mildly sweet, inoffensive, unremarkable. I'd consider finishing it because it's not bad, but I'd like something that's better than not bad to close out the night. To be fair, a CT shade as cigar 4 or 5 of the day isn't fair either. But I have no desire to be fair to STG.
