Humidor Short Dog

Now this one goes directly into my top cigars humidor. Absolutely gorgeous smoke if you like it raw. smoked it for about 110 minutes. Processing and rolling is tip top and consistency is A++. A steal for the price really. It burns even, the smoke is creamy and plentiful and the ash building is on spot. Due to a hefty consistency it feels heavy and the perfect rolling technique makes it look indestructible. Taste wise it is a strong mix of coffee, wood, toast, some nuts and soil. Maybe not the best for beginners, but if you like serious smokes it is a must try. All in all it feels like the kinds of hard ons you had back in your 20s. Potency all the way. Will I smoke it again? Without a doubt. Should you? Absolutely. 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!

A smoke worthy of its name. Will tell later why. smoked it for about 90 minutes. Rolling is top class. Burn and consistency - both excellent. You feel the quality from its looks, label, touch, smell and taste. Speaking of taste and why it is worthy of its name - it feels like the smoke is judging you rather than you judging the smoke. Why? The subtle blends of so many aromas is quite a challenge for your senses. Almost like them testing you if you can detect it all. From coffee, chocolate, to lather, wood, soil ....you have it all. Toasty and just a bit creamy - this cigar feels like a classic father figure indeed. Harsh at times, yet soft and complex - teaching your senses to detect aromas. I will smoke it again for sure. Not cheap, but a good one. And if you never smoked it - I suggest you give it a try. Maybe too rough for beginners, but if you dare - go for it. Peace and love!

Oh wow what a delicious stick. Enjoyed it for about 100 minutes. Flawless construction, nice consistency, and great uniform burn. A cigar that's worth the money for sure. Strength is a bit above average but it makes so much sense with the large amount of creamy smoke. Taste wise it is a super neat blend of wood, a bit of pepper, grass, hints of dried fruits, chocolate and plenty coffee, some toast, hints of leather and soil. What a delight! All in all it feels like coming back home after spending a month on a different continent and you missed the food so bad at some point and now you finally eat your home cooked comfort food again. Bliss. this goes straight into my alltime favourite list also because of the price. And yes you should most def give it a try. Peace and love!

What a smoke. Strong. Punchy flavours. Took about 2 hours to finish it. Well rolled and great consistency. Easy to light and smoke but not easy on the senses for a beginner. Bit creamy, plenty of smoke and the flavour blend is hay, toast, grass, soil, with nuts being predominant. All in all it feels like wearing a beard with pride - striking, potent and determined. I d try it again for sure and you should try it once at least too. Peace and love!

A strong little mofo. Took about 70 minutes to dance with it. Looks great and the rolling technique stands up to the looks. Easy to light and smoke. Bit of uneven burn, but nothing to worry about. Expected a bit more from a special edition, but still good. Plenty of smoke and a nice blend of rough aromas - from hay to wood, coffee, toast and soil. I'd say the kind of smoke that goes well with a strong coffee or spirits. All in all it feels like a cozy evening by the fire in your grandparents old house during winter. A strong, yet warm and meaningful experience. Now will I smoke it again? Maybe just because it looks cool. Should you? Maybe...just because it looks cool. Peace and love ladies and gents.

About one hour and 5 minutes of...mediocrity. Not a bad cigar at all and for the price it is above many others in the price range, but... meh. It is well rolled, decent consistency, almost even burn and not too hard to light up. Smoke amount is so so...almost creamy but not really. Spicy but not too spicy. Too toasty but not too grassy to make it worth the tough touch. Get the picture? almost there but not quite. Still, it feels like one of those spontaneous intimate happenings that in time you completely forget because... it just happened and was enough spark to happen but...meh. Next. Will I smoke it again? Maybe, but kind of doubt it. Should you? You might like it if you like tough smokes. Peace and love ladies and gentlemen.

Now this is a really well done cigar. Tasty too. 8.5/10 - about 100 minutes of smoking pleasure. Very well built, impeccable burn, nice ash collection and plenty of smoke to enjoy. Taste wise it is not out of this world, but top quality indeed. Nice blend of strong punchy aromas of toast, leather, soil and some hints of vanilla even. Even the label is awesome. Somehow reminded me of some AJ Fernandez like El Gorbernador (which is less than half the price). Speaking of which - price is not justified though. Worth a try though. I d like to smoke it again - true that - but won't pay 20 for it. Should I recommend it? If you're good with money definitely worth a try. Peace and love!

Medium smoke. Duration 100 minutes more or less. Burns decent, tastes decent (chocolate, coffee, cream, soil, but of pepper) and decent construction. Really can't say anything out of the ordinary about this one. All in all it felt like the daily morning sandwich you buy on your way to work. Ok, but ...just ok. Will probably try others from this brand. Cannot recommend it or say don't smoke it either. Peace and love!

Paradisio indeed. Excellent stick. Not the best construction ever, but the tobacco quality and the aroma mix is high class. Chocolatey, slightly peppery, dried fruits, creamy and some leather in an awesome mix. Burning is not even, but not problematic. Draw is easy, the cigar is not super strong but the amount of smoke is just right. Duration approx 120 minutes. All in all it feels like a sexy plus size lady that knows exactly what she wants from you and you meet her in the right moment - when you know exactly what you want from her:) Will smoke again for sure and definitely am recommending it for at least one try. Peace and love!

A special occasion smoke for sure. This is my first Oliva cigar and although a bit pricy, it was a close to perfect smoke. Very well built, impeccable burn and ash collection. The amount of smoke is just right, and relighting was easy, with a constant uniform burn. I liked how they succeeded to mix the tobacco in a way that none of the aromas are too strong, yet neither is too weak. Soil, leather, coffee, pepper, chocolate and maybe nuts was the most clearly felt. All in all it felt like a car from the upper premium segment. You pay serious money for it, but the quality is not just for the eyes, but also for the other senses. Will I try it again? Will try other Olivas for sure. Do I recommend it? I'd say so - at least for one try. Peace and love!

Such a lovely surprise. Smoking time approx 120 minutes. Excellently built, good leaf consistency and great quality overall. Burns nicely from start to finish, ash collection is like it should be and the amount of smoke is just right. No problems relighting it and combustion was constant and uniform all the time. The smoke is mildly creamy, and the flavours are just in the right mix - non of them being too strong or too hard to detect. Chocolate, a bit sweet, nuts, wood, a bit of soil, coffee, toast and even leather. Gorgeous smoke for a good price. All in all it felt like a four star hotel that really delivers fully on those four stars and doesn't leave you wondering what exactly is it that you paid here for. Will I smoke it again? 100%. Do I recommend it? A clear yes. I am planning to test other Kanedas really soon. Peace and love!

I will keep this short because I don't feel it's worth to elaborate. Smoking time: approx 120 minutes. Good construction, decent smoke volume, mediocre creaminess and nutty-coffee-earthy-toasty aromas mixed in the most mediocre way possible. Not bad but definitely not good. For the price - no way. Even the reduced price is "meh" for the quality of the smoke. All in all it felt like entering one of those stores that always say BIG DISCOUNT - LAST SALE BEFORE CLOSING - but they are saying that for 3 years and you think you buy a premium product at a c heap price but you buy mediocre stuff at a mediocre price. Will I ever smoke it again? Hell no. Do I recommend it? You are not losing anything if you say pass to this one. Peace and love!

La Aurora Cameroon Robusto. Since I m a beginner - bought it by accident but was a pleasant surprise. Would I smoke it again? Absolutely. Many times? I wouldn't marry it for sure. What I liked about it was the feeling of consistency from the way it's made to the way it fills my mouth with just the right strength of smoke, aromas and spiciness. A bit of everything - but on the full, potent side of things. Could be cheaper, since it's nothing out of the ordinary and I've smoked cheaper ones with the same level of satisfaction. I'd say a good cigar for the plebs. For the people with flame in the chest. If I'd be a rich, bored with life and trying to hide my anxiety with benzos - I probably would go for something more... suave. Elegant. Easy on the tongue. - while this one is more of something that reminds one of the concrete jungle and everyday struggle. Peace and love!

A punchy smoke. Enjoyed for about 80 minutes. Production wise it is flawless. The label is thick paper, quality emboss and great design. Other cigar producers should learn from this one. Consistency also is what any cigar should have - dense and plenty. Smoke amount is great - and it should be, for the flavours are not a toy. Seriously spicy, coffee, leather is also strong and it is toasty. Soil, wood and grass are also present. All in all it feels like having a conversation with your favourite grandfather - the wise man. The tough but loving. The root of existence. Will I smoke it again? I might - although it is not cheap considering competition these days. Still a solid smoke. Should you?
