Humidor Short Dog

Another My Father Classic. Why My Father Classic? Because this producer knows how to leave a mark on a smokers mind. Most of their smokes come with something slightly different than any other producer does. Not sure how they do it but this one is also like that. It is just....different. Enjoyed it for about 80 minutes. Very well produced and the right consistency to produce easy tokes and an easy burning experience. Ash resistance is also spot on. Creamy yes, tasty yes and plenty of smoke yes but NO - this is not what this cigar is about. Neither about the great mixture of soils, leather, roasted coffee, roastend nuts and old hay. It is about hard to identify woods, dried exotic fruits and even some flowers that I simply cannot pinpoint. It is distinct in that sense, but very hard for me to know what to make out of it. Maybe it feels somehow like a top of the line Alfa Romeo car. It's not a Benz or a BMW but Lord knows the way it feel on the road is simply...original and unique. Will I try it again? I'm not sure. Maybe I will. A bit afraid of it to be honest since it feels too complex for me. As for you - if you are a proper cigar smoker and haven't tried it yet - please do and please do review it - I am curious.

Another strong one from AJ. smoked it for about 90 minutes. Very well processed and it looks great too. There is not much point in talking about the wonderful way AJ process their cigars because they are tip top on this aspect. Box pressing is subtle comparing to the El Gobernador for example from the New World Order series, but still has the great draw of a nice box pressed stick. Flavour wise it is quite challenging to understand it right away because to me it feels pretty much complex. Plenty of smoke - creamy and even oily, but spicy and sweet at the same time. Rare mix. Some old hay can be felt wrapped in serious wood, soil and leather flavours, all bumped by the choco-coffee feel that accompanies each toke from start to finish. All in all it feels like those evenings of fine wine tasing. It just takes a while to get used to the more subtle ones. I will definitely have it again and if you hadn't yet- go ahead. Maybe not the best for beginners since it is a pretty punchy smoke. Price wise... I'd say okish considering the market today. If it was like 20% cheaper it would have been a real blast.

The Dark Knight of smokes. Smoked it for about 100 minutes. Rolled like it should be and consistent enough to deliver nice, smooth tokes with plenty of smoke. Even burn with a slight creamy, peppery and toasty smoke - all at the same time. Rare combination. Aroma wise there's a bit of everything on the rough, dark sides. Coffee, leather, soils, wood, chocolate and leather. Sounds like a lot but the mixture is very well proportioned. All in all it felt like a good trekking trip. Relaxing yet demanding. Yes I will smoke it again and YES you gotta try it if you didn t already. Also decent price for what you get. Can't go wrong with it. Maybe if you are a beginner this shouldn't be your first one since it's not the lightest out there.

A dark looking and tasting stick. Yummi. Enjoyed it for about 2 hours. Hard to smoke because the consistency is incredibly thick. Had to stick it a few times from the bottom to be able to draw some smoke out of it. Too bad because otherwise it looks and feels great. Well rolled, even burning and a creamy, tough smoke. Dark, tough aromas. Coffee first. Chocolate, nuts and soils second. some leather and even hints of dried fruits here and there and some wood. All toasty too. A delight for the tasting buds. All in all it feels like eating game somewhere up in the mountains. Tough, not easy to digest but definitely a tasty experience. I'll try it again for sure although I have to say for this price it could be produced better in terms of consistency. Maybe mine wasn't the best of the batch. And yes I recommend you should try it too if you are into full, potent flavours.

Meh. Smoked it for about 80 minutes but it was hard to truly enjoy it. Very well processed, decent consistency and also decent burn but... something was missing. It also looks good, but the taste is straight dull. Yes there's wood, pepper, toasty leather and some soil...even some nut flavour. Creaminess too, but somehow the spiciness didn't mix well with the creaminess for me. It felt like trying to put too much stuff into one thing. Like a doner with too many ingredients or a pizza with too many toppings. In the end it's hard to have a good taste when you mix too much. Price is ok for the construction and quality but there's much better smokes out there at this price level though. So no I will not be in a rush to try another one.

A bit of this - a bit of that - a very decent cigar for 3.80. Smoked it for about 45 minutes. It burns fast because it's airy, so it has a weak consistency. The quality of the tobacco is low to medium but definitely enjoyable. Draw is good, burn is pretty even, but it burns fast. The sour-toasty feel wraps the other aromas like wood, old hay and some soil. Nothing special whatsoever. All in all it feels like a cheap T-Shirt. It's doing its job, but it just doesn't really feel like you're looking forward to wear it again. Will I smoke it again? No. If I'll ever be in financial difficulties - for sure. Should you? You can try it - but if your budget for smokes is limited then absolutely yes go for it because for a budget smoke it really is pretty good.

A delicious smoke, but there is no way in hell this is worth 17 Euros. Let me tell you why. Smoked it for about 100 minutes and yes - it is gorgeous. AJ manages to impress with every New World cigar I've tried. Rolling is top notch. You just can't get it any better. Consistency is there and the tobacco is pure quality. Burning is good and ash resistance is there. Plenty of creamy, even a bit oily smoke with each toke and tough, punchy aromas from soil and leather to toasty coffee and peppery wood - all there. Even hints of grass and some dried fruits. A true delight to enjoy. All in all it feels like chilling in a high rise rooftop pool in Dubai - you just feel like you're getting what you deserve - some quality time. But. And there is a big but. Many other New World cigars are cheaper (El Gobernador for example) are cheaper - not to mention some top Joya de Nicaragua which are still cheaper but if not better at least the same quality. So yes it is too expensive. I will smoke AJ with pleasure anytime and also smokes from the New World series, but this one is too pricey for me. Still - if money is not an issue - goe for it for sure. Quality is A++ and the shape and rolling technique are tip top. If you want to see it "in action" - check "shortafella" on insta to watch short unedited films about how the cigars really look like.

My kind of smoke. Enjoyed it for about 90 minutes and loved each draw. Well rolled. Great consistency. Burns just right and the amount of smoke is really good. A bit creamy, but more toasty and spicy. Wood is there, nuts, chocolate, coffee, leather and soil. Tough flavours and punchy tokes, yet the premium tobacco makes it feel good and not bothering. All in all it feels like having the job you like - demanding, challenging, but pleasant and with meaning. I will smoke it again for sure and price is decent for the quality. And if you haven't tried it yet - you should. Not the best choice for beginners, but if you are darting go for it.

Oh wow what a smoke! All the good flavours in one excellently produced stick. It's not a huge size but smoked it for 90 minutes plus. That's because the consistency is excellent. Tobacco is condensed, but not in a way you cannot smoke it. Rarely bump into such a well rolled cigar. Excellent draw and amount of smoke. Creamy, full of flavours - from types of wood to forest grass, nuts, chocolate, coffee, leather and forest soils. All toasty and everything in just the right amount. All in all it feels like a top quality meat barbecued in open air - hard to have it better than that. I will smoke it again yes. Because of the flavours - the flavours - the flavours. And you should absolutely give it a try. Not the cheapest but hei.... this is serious quality right here.

One of my favourite cigars I have ever tried. An absolute gem. And yes it is expensive for the size, but it's a heavyweight champion. Let me tell you why. Not a big cigar but it lasts. Enjoyed it for almost 2 straight hours. From its looks to how it feels in your hand and tip top quality of label - this cigar screams quality like few do. The rolling and consistency are absolutely impeccable. Hard to believe you can do better than that. Taste wise it is a coffee lover's paradise. And what makes it even better is that it is not sweet neither sour. Just a burst of coffee and dark chocolate all in super creamy and even oily draws, full of smoke and consistency. Very easy to smoke and the burn is perfect. Also the ash resistance is top level. All in all this one reminded me of the first time I moved into a very nice flat and felt like a king. It will become a permanent resident of one of my humidors and even though it's not cheap - it absolutely deserves every cent spent. And yes you should totally smoke it if you haven't yet. Joya - hats off. Excellent job. If you want to see it "in action" - check "shortafella" on IG to watch short unedited films about how the cigars really look like. Peace and love!

Now I am not a cigarillo smoker by nature, but this one is definitely quite a smoke. Lasts for about 10 minutes if you are not in a rush. The production quality is absolutely top notch. Even the packaging is premium and it just feels right to the touch and to the eye at the same time. Fruity. Grassy. There's also nuts, toast, soil. For me this only makes me want to smoke the real deal which is a cigar. All in all it feels like a tease. Like a small tasty appetiser. Feels like something that makes you want more. Price wise considering the quality I feel like this is a steal. Absolutely worth it. Yet - like I said - not a cigarillo person here but if you are - you should absolutely not skip this one. Peace and love!

What a smoke. A classic. Although I prefer the box pressed versions, it is hats down a true beauty. Smoked it for about 90 minutes. very hard to beat in this price range. Excellent production from rolling to consistency, burning or ash resistance. All A++. Taste wise it comes with a full array of tastes. Full of smoke, all creamy and ranging from types of wood to nuts, coffee and chocolate, all toasty a bit, and also you can experience various types of soils in the aromas. Absolutely delightful. All in all it feels like my favourite snack. There are other snacks - some better some worse some more pricey and premium some less but no matter what I try - my favourite snack is my favourite snack. And this is what it is for me with New world Order series in general. Absolutely THE smoke for a cigar smoker. Yes I will have it again over and over and if you've never tried a New World Order - you must be kidding me.

Coffee and wood. Yummi. Smoked it for about 70-80 minutes and absolutely loved it. Production wise it is impeccable. From rolling to consistency there is no flaw whatsoever. Draw is easy and nice, burn is even and ash resistance is good. Taste wise, wood and coffee and nuts are kings here, with hints of soil, leather - and all a little it creamy. It is a bit on the strong side of things - but not bothering at all. Very easy to smoke. All in all it feels like a bicycle that just got out of service after a winter of sitting in the rain and cold - smooth and enjoyable. Will I smoke it again? Yes I will. And so should you. Good job, Camacho. If you want to see it "in action" - check "shortafella" on IG to watch short unedited films about how the cigars really look like. Peace and love!

Quite a smoke indeed. Price though...even reduced and it's a lot considering options these days. Smoked it for about 90 minutes. Production quality is absolutely great. Perfectly rolled, top notch consistency and plenty of smoke. Not super easy to light and the burn not super even - but that is not a problem. Taste is a mystery. I think I need to smoke at least one more to fully be able to describe the array of aromas. Strong, concrete flavours of different soils, leather, toast, coffee, nut and various woods. Even a bit peppery. When I say soils and woods I mean quite a lot of them. Hard to identify. And that is amazing I have to admit. Still - all in all it feels like a business class for the price of first class. It is tip top but not an unforgettable experience. And you can get those for 25 Euros easy with other smokes. Will I smoke it again? I think I will yes. There's unfinished business here. Should you? If you have the plata - clearly worth a try.
