Cigar reviews Xikar HC Series Connecticut Shade Toro Cigar Review cigarobsession.com http This 6.5×52 stick offers a thin medium tan wrapper with a few medium and small veins, a double cap and even firm slightly spongy construction. The aroma is deep pungent tobacco. First light brings a slightly firm draw, mild-medium flavors of a slightly peppery, mildly sweet tobacco. The first third is a very smooth, mild leather with a woody aftertaste on a long finish. It’s very simple, smoke output is minimal and very consistent with a perfect draw and burn. The 2nd third progresses much the same, only adding a caramel to the end of the draw flavors and the finish. The last third holds the same flavors however body and smoke production rose significantly. Providing a rich flavorful medium body experience, the smoke was thicker and doubled in volume. Ending at 1:15 with about 1″ remaining it proved to be a very well constructed typical connecticut. Thank you very much to Xikar for generously sending this sample for review!

cigar reviews review www.cigarobsession.com Rocky Patel Connecticut Torpedo This 6.5×50 torpedo stick had a very soft supple wrapper showing the underlying leaves. Burn and draw were both excellent, with perfect performance all the way down. Flavors started out mild and grassy, progressing to a smooth creamy nutty flavor. Body was mild-medium with a very clean short finish offering a hint of spice on the tounge. Just over 1 hour to the band point, great for a morning smoke! Than you very much to Tinderbox.com for generously donating the stick for review! Photography by BG Pictures.

smooth, mild and even cigar. The last third is as enjoyable as the first. To be smoked slowly and enjoyed to the fullest. – Fred B.
Smooth, mild, with hints of cream, cedar, and notes of dry wood and leather. Peppery finish. The natural and the maduro are by far the best. Excellent with a good scotch. – Mark
Rated 85. This cigar has a good looking wrapper and it burs wiht a flaky ash. The draw is firm. It is a little creamy and dry, with notes of sandalwood and touches of cocoa and coffee. Medium to full bodied. – Cigar Aficionado, December 2006
This is a great smoke. The stubby size is a fooler,the 4.5 inch smoke still lasts about 35 minuets or more without burning out. Nothing worse than a cigar that wont stay lit if not puffed every few seconds. These are great for the money as well. Smooth with a meaty finish.Thick blue smoke with a lite smell for others. Try one. – Prince of Peace

Wonderful. 91 in my book. Silky smooth wrapper. Tasty complex flavor with bold cedar notes and a solid peppery spice through the nose. Woodsy undertones. The smoke produces a euphoric sensation in the frontal lobe and a satisfaction only common in Fuente Cigars. – Tyler C.
This is one of favorites in the Fuente line.This well constructed beauty is a sight to behold. Taking it from it’s, your sense’s are treated to the wonderful aroma of well aged tobacco sheathed in cedar, wow what a combination! This smooth tasting, medium bodied cigar has a wonderful tobacco and spice flavor with a wonderful aroma. A great way to treat yourself to a wonderful and relaxing hour! – Joe Mazloom
Rated 88. This well made cigar has a smooth even draw and a fine burn. It is creamy, rich and nutty, with notes of light wood and a touch of pepper. Mild to medium bodied. – Cigar Aficionado, February 2007
A great, small cigar. Mild and flavorful. Makes my afternoon commute a pleasure. – Billy
Perfect cigar for guests and amatuers that dont finish larger cigars. Yet they get to smoke a premium, mild, smooth, hand made dominican beauty. I also smoke them on short car rides or when i want a quick 10-15 minute smoke. Pick up a tin or 2 for your humidor! – benny
I haven’t tried many “little cigars” or cigarillos yet but this is definitely my favorite. Mild, smooth, creamy almost buttery flavor w/the slightest hint of cedar and even slighter sweetness on the ocassional puff. Also a little peppery as it nears the band, but again, this is slight. Quite a nice treat for a such a little cigar, great to enjoy when you’re on the go or just don’t have time for a full size smoke. The Arturo Fuente Cubanitos used to be my favorite of the small sizes but these have replaced them. I get a better draw with more smoke and they are also slightly cheaper than the AF Cubanitos (and a bit milder as well). I will always keep a tin or two of these in my humidor. – Jay In Phoenix
Smoke these all the time,a real treat for something so small(love the maduro also)I always start with an ascot they are so good.A great all round smoke,you can inhale if you want they are that smooth. – aussie shaun
Baron De Rothschild add your review
I just finished a Baron De Rothschild. I thought the Prince Phillip was good…well this smoke was even better!!! Very smooth, great draw, excellent taste to the very end. Will definitely be buying more of these. – Jay
As always a superb smoke. Smooth flavourful and just the right size for relaxing with over a drink and conversation. – Rob
Rated 87. A firm cigar with a firm draw. It has notes of wood and sweet cream and a solid tobacco flavor. Mild to medium bodied. – Cigar Aficionado, August 2006
Combining a Connecticut shade wrapper, Dominican fillers, and a unique binder grown in the San Andres Valley of Mexico, the Macanudo is fairly straight forward and light in flavor with a very short finish. Macanudo is the cigar that put General Cigar Co. on the map and has led to their unprecedented success. Still on top as the best seller, the name Macanudo is one of the most recognizable in world. No where else can such consistency be found in a cigar. This blend is ideal for those enthusiasts who are just getting started or those veterans who don’t like an overwhelming level of flavor or body in a cigar.
