Indian Tabac Cuban Corojo Arrow
This was one of the first cigars I ever tried. I smoked the box, but kept one in my humidor to save for later. After about three months in the humidor, I pulled it out to finish it and write this review
Bahia Blue
I got the Bahia Blue in a sampler pack which promised that it would be “premium” but I was displeased with this cigar. It had a medium to slow draw (making smoking a labor). It is a mild smoke and it had what some reviewers call a “nutty” flavor, which many smokers enjoy. I actually thought it felt more like a mushroom flavor — or, maybe it was a wet papery flavor, like when you suck on notebook paper (not that I make a habit of sucking on notebook paper, but.… nevermind).
Puros Indios Viejo
I’m in a quandary with this cigar. As I normally do before writing a short review, I check other reviews online to see how others enjoyed it. I found a number of reviews that lavished great praise upon the Indios. However, my experience with the cigar was very poor. Since I am not an expert and fairly new to the hobby, take my review with a grain of salt and I will refer you to another review which really enjoyed it at About.com.
5 Vegas Classic
I bought this cigar in a sample pack of “premium” cigars for a nice cheap price. Obviously their premium-ness is suspect due to the cheapness of the bundle, but in this case I actually enjoyed the 5 Vegas Classic. It was one of the better ones of the bundle.
La Aurora Barrel Aged
Hand made in the Dominican Republic, this Barrel Aged cigar was described by the seller as “full-bodied”, “smooth” and “earthy”. I suppose I should expect, by now, to distrust all reviews by the seller and simply go by the maxim, expensive = better, for in this case I was sorely disappointed.
Miracles by C.S. Lewis
Miracles is not an easy book to read. I enjoyed it, I’m glad I read it and I even learned from it, but it was hard to grasp everything Lewis was trying to say. It was written more like a textbook on philosophy and reasoned thinking than an apologetic (which it most certainly was) and I found the going rough.
Free Cuba Cigar Review
After reading a glowing review about these cigars from a popular cigar catalog, I chanced to buy a large bundle of 60 since the bargain was so epic. Yes, yes, the rule of thumb is that bargain cigars equal lawn-mowing cigars, but the eternal optimist in me took the chance. Silly thing, optimism.
