Humidor Short Dog

Not a bad smoke. Had about 75 minutes of fun with it. Easy to smoke, lightish, well rolled (kind of too airy for my taste) and has a decent ash resistance to it. Taste wise it is sweet, bit creamy, fruity (dried fruits), with hints of chocolate, nuts and leather. for the price it is a decent smoke, but nothing out of the ordinary. Not even a bit. All in all it feels like your second coffee in a day. It does the job but won't surprise you like the first one. Would I smoke it again? Don't think so but I might try others from this producer. Would I recommend it? Yes I do - for this price it is worth a try. You might like it. Peace and love!

Not bad at all - although nothing special. Still - a decent stick for the price. Smoking time approx 90 minutes. Well rolled, with a decent consistency, easy to light and smoke, even burn and good ash resistance. Taste wise it is nothing out of the ordinary. Wood, cream, some hints of grass and soil. All in all it feels like a Thursday evening. You know tomorrow is Friday and that feels good - but you are not really in the weekend yet. Joya has much better smokes even for this price or a bit higher, so I don't think I will bother with this again. Would I recommend it? Maybe if you are curious but not specifically. Peace and love!

It's hard to go wrong with Joya de Nicaragua. And Antano Dark Corojo is here to confirm that. 80 minutes of smoking time. Excellent stick. Very well done, good looks, nice burn, easy to smoke although it's "dark". Tastes sweet. Coffee. Nuts a bit. Hints of fruits. Soil. Creamy and even better -an oily feel of the smoke and of the cigar too. Yummi. All in all it feels like an honest working person in a world of clowns, where every second person is a rapper, a CEO, an entrepreneur and so on. Fair smoke for a fair price. Great. Will smoke again and I fully recommend it. Peace and love!

Joya de Nicaragua never cease to impress me. It's slowly becoming for sure one of my favourite brands. Now don't get me wrong - it's not divine or exceptional, but for the price - they make really damn good cigars. Just the type you would like to indulge in on a daily basis. Now about the Red. 90 minutes smoking time. Excellently rolled. Perfect burn. Easy to smoke. Super creamy and with a decent ash resistance. The taste - a mix of grass, nuts, coffee, toast, soil and even hints of fruits - all tickling your senses with a creamy touch. Delightful. All in all it feels like when you were a kid back in the 90s and were playing your favourite computer game on a lazy weekend afternoon when the only thing that was disturbing you was your mother calling your lazy ass to eat something. Will I smoke it again? 100%. Am I recommending it? 100%. Also good for beginners since it is not too strong. Peace and love!

Joya de Nicaragua never stops to amaze me. Simple-decently priced - great cigars. Cabinetta Toro took me about 90 minutes to execute. Rolled like it should be rolled. Built like it should be built. A light cigar, easy to light up, with an even burn and good ash resistance. A bit too light for my taste, but delicious. Creamy, with changing pallets of aromas - starts a bit fruity, soily, leatherish and cream then evolves into coffeee fruit and grass and at the end it becomes a bit too sour with spiciness kicking in. Except the very end - it was awesome. 8/10. All in all it felt like when I was a kid and got my first bike. Awesome feeling, with some bruises here and there but at the end - no regrets. Would I smoke it again? For shizzy. Would I recommend it? 100% yes at least for one try. Peace and love.

To me- this is one of the "OG"s. 9.10 and hats off to the producers. A true everyday delicacy. Easy to smoke. Takes about 70.80 mins to finish it. Smoke amount is just right and creaminess is there just enough. Production wise all is done "by the book". Perfect burn, even, nice ash collection and now the taste. Simple-yet so so good. Nutty, slightly sweet, mixed with hay and wood. It makes me feel like I am a kid eating a nougat on the shadow of a tree in my grandfather's yard. Absolutely awesome smoke. I could smoke this one every day and I fully recommend it. Peace and love!

80 minutes of smoking. Looks big, but it's airy and uncondensed, so it burns fast and uneven. To be honest it even feels "cheap" in your hand. Still - not a horrible smoke. The draw is decent and the amount of smoke is not bad at all. A bit creamy too. Taste started pretty bad with dull blends of toast soil and hay, but ended up in the second part to be pretty good actually. The whole experience became sweeter and creamier. All in all it felt like a carousel ride in an old amusement park. 6/10. The original price of 19 is a joke, an d even the "reduced" 6.50 is at the top for what you get. Would I smoke it again? Negative. Would I recommend it? Nope. Peace and love!

Meh. A dullish smoke. About 80 minutes smoking time. Can't complain really, but there was nothing special about it. Built well, decent burn, easy to smoke. A bit creamy, leatherish taste, some hay and soil. Can see the point of smoking it once, but would be hard to see me having this in my humidor again. All in all it felt like those apples you buy these days in the supermarket. They look good but taste wise...absolutely nothing special. For me one time was enough. Could I recommend it? Not really to be honest. Too boring. Peace and love!

Not bad at all. 8.5/10. A bit too pricy for what you get but still a good stick. Smoking duration approx 70 minutes. Wood and nut are predominant. A bit of fruit hints and grass and mud can be felt too. Decently built and also easy to smoke. Nothing astonishing, but worth a try. All in all it felt like a weekend getaway. Not quite the full holiday but refreshing enough. Would I smoke it again? Not sure. Would I recommend it? For at least a smoke yes. Peace and love!

Amazing stick. Excellent smoke. Too bad it burns so fast. Smoked for about 45 minutes. I am starting to believe that AJ Fernandez will be at the top of my day to day smokes. Very well made, easy to smoke, easy to draw, creamy, with plenty of smoke and a mix of aromas that is simply...original. A bit fruity, a bit spicy, coffee, chocolate, hay, toast. It's all there combined to perfection. All in all it feels like a good night out when you are out of town and the right dosage of enthusiasm, mystery, fun and socialising is just right. I will try more from the Viva la Vida collection and I fully recommend this. 9/10 and if it would be at least 20% cheaper - a 9.5/10 easy. Peace and love!

Toasty, creamy, earthy. 8.5/10 and if it would have been a bit cheaper could have been an easy 9/10. A beautiful stick, with nice and good quality labels, which delivers on all fronts. Easy to light up and to smoke, constant even burn and great ash collection. Construction is a la carte and the taste - although nothing extraordinary - is decent enough to place this stick in the category of "everyday cigar indulgence". All in all it feel like my favourite breakfast. Nothing fancy, but consistent, tasty enough and hearty. I will try some other sticks from this brand for sure and I fully recommend at least one try for this one. Peace and love!

Now this is a stick. 8.5/10. 100 minutes of smoking time. Aroma wise it's nothing out of the ordinary but definitely a pleasant taste. Not too strong and a bit spicy when blown off the nose. Well rolled and a very good burn. Easy to light. Now the big plus: the amount of smoke. Oh my oh my it's like a chimney and that is absolutely great in my opinion. All in all it feels like those Italian pizzas. Simple, but 100% on point. I would smoke it again and I recommend at least one try. A bit pricy though for the overall quality. There's way tastier cheaper options. Peace and love!

A well rolled stick. Smoked it for about 100 minutes. Burn was even, easy to light, easy to smoke and it provides a great amount of smoke. Now the taste. Interesting combination. Felt very grassy-woody. That was a bit too much for me, but that is only a personal remark. If you like grass-wood-pepper in a strong punchy mix - this cigar is for you. The label can be improved (was impossible to take out without damaging the cigar a bit). Still - a very well rolled cigar for the price. All in all it felt like going to a halloween party with the Christmas mood in mind. I won't try it again since it's not my piece of cake but I would recommend it for sure if you like strong flavours. Peace and love!

Excellent. 9/10. Duration time approx 70 minutes. Perfectly rolled, burns like a charm and the amount of smoke is right. Now the good part. The taste is so...consistent. A blend of aromas that are not unique (pepper, soil, toast, coffee, wood) BUT the aroma is delivered in a clear, punchy way with each toke. You can also "taste" the quality of the tobacco with each draw. Creaminess? Plenty! Also the label is like a cigar label should be. Quality paper with beautiful design and emboss. All in all it feels like the airport lounge. You just feel treated right. Simple as that. Would I smoke it again? Yes. Would I recommend it? 100%. Peace and love!
