Humidor Short Dog

A good smoke for sure. Smoking time: 75-80 minutes Well built, easy burn, great ash accumulation and pleasant creamy smoke. Hints of fruits, pepper, toast and a bit of grass. Too expensive for what it has to offer, yet the quality is where it needs to be. All in all - felt like this overpriced art pieces that are beautiful indeed, but there is no way you can understand the price. Would I smoke it again? Maybe - definitely will try more Perdomo. Would I recommend it? Maybe go for a smaller, cheaper version to see how you like it first. 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!

An interest blend of flavours - yet overpriced. Smoking time: 90-100 minutes. Very well built, super good combustion, decent smoke volume, but ash doesn't build too well, so you need to keep it close to the ashtray. Taste - good. Creamy, grassy, soil, slightly fruity and becoming more and more peppery towards the end - I'd say they all mix pretty good. The big problem: there is no way these flavour mix or the good (not great or perfect) construction would justify this price. All in all if you a snob - put your hands up in the air and smoke it like you just don't care. Felt like Jamie Oliver pizza in the airports. It's a decent pizza but come on gtfo my face with that price, man. Will I smoke it again? If you buy it for me maybe. Do I recommend it? Absolutely no. With this money you get a better smoke from any flavour mix you dream of. Peace and, of course, love!

Oscar, my friend, you are trying to seduce and then abandon me. After the awesome SuperFly it was time to try this one. Bit of disappointment. And oh how I was "appointed" by the leaf concept and artistic impression. So. Smoking time: 110 min more or less. Very well built, nice draw, good combustion, decent ash build and an array of flavours dominated by soil, leather and some hay. The cigar is done "by the book" and this makes it... boring to be honest. Very good don't get me wrong, but for the money... homie please. There's much more pleasant smokes at almost half the price. All in all it felt like the golden Nike 98 I bought when I was younger just to show off. They looked slick but were nowhere near as comfy as a good old air max 90 at half the price. Can you fizzle what I sizzle? Will I buy it again? Maybe if I get really bored (which is rare). Do I recommend it? Nope. Not at this price, Oscar. Peace and love!

Got this as a gift - part of a sampler. Smoking time: approx 100 minutes. I'll jump right into the matter: this beauty just became one of my favourites. Excellently manufactured, impeccable draw, nice ash build, great tobacco consistency and amount of smoke. Burn is very nice also. The taste: it's not a light cigar, yet it doesn't bother the senses at all, so even beginners could easily smoke it at least once. An array of grass, hay, leather, soil and a hint of chocolate - all mixed in just the right amounts - give this cigar a wonderful taste. Not cheap, but there are cigars 50% more the price who won 't get even closer to this one. Therefore a nice value for money too. All in all it felt like when you need a shirt and you go into a random shop and out of nowhere you just try one that looks great but the surprise is that it fits you so well and feels so right that you end up wearing it every other day even if you have 50 more in your drawer. Absolutely gorgeous smoke. Fully recommend it. I hope it will soon be available to purchase on cigharworld again. Peace and love!

After already reviewing the Belicoso, it was time for the Churchill and yes - also a great cigar. Maybe not as good as Bellicoso, but 100% worth every cent. You get a great smoke for the money. Smoking time: approx 110 minutes. A cigar well made, light to smoke, great amount of smoke, slightly milky - creamy, with a simple array of basic aromas: hay, grass, leather, frost mud. Great for beginners and also because of the price nice for an everyday smoke. Don't expect the ultimate cigar indulging, but hei for this proce range it is A++. All in all - it feels so simple and clean, just like when you were as kid and were pulling down your pants to pee in a field in the nature in the summer time. A simple thing to do, but a great occasion to stop from your wondering and take in the beauty of the day, taste the summer air and ... let loose:) I will smoke it again for sure and I recommend at least one try. 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!

An interesting mix of aromas in a very well made cigar. Duration: approx 110 minutes. Burns nice, the amount of smoke is perfect, the creaminess is just right, but the ash won't hold too long (which is not a problem). Mild strength and an array of aromas. Pepper is the strongest, but coffee, leather, grass, hay, forest mud - can all be felt either all at once or in different parts of the cigar. Goes great with a nice spirit drink. I'd recommend this one to beginners too. All in all - it feels like a nice meal cooked by your mother. It simply has everything you expect from a good smoke - but in a mellow, cosy way. Loved it. Will smoke it again for sure. Peace and love!

Simple, folk, cigar. Smoking time approx 70 minutes. Tastes good - nice chocolate coffee sweet aromas with a creamy smoke BUT Very bad construction. Turns off easy and the ash collection is a joke. Yet - for the price - and putting aside the frustration of having to light it every 10 minutes - it is a good tasty cigar. All in all - it is the kind of smoke you can indulge into after a long hard working day, at a fair price. This is why I call it a good folk cigar. Will I smoke it again? Probably yes. Do I recommend it? Yes. A tasty cigar for the price. Peace and love!

Fruits, nuts, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, honey, milkiness. All in one strong, beautifully made and super fly cigar. Smoking time: approx 110 minutes. From the first draw two the very last - I felt what I expect from a good cigar: aromas. Ash is not building very well and lighting it at first was a bit of pain in the ass because it was not lighting even, BUT the taste of it made me forget my small frustration pretty quickly. It starts shy - with hints of chocolate, sweetness and fruitiness - but as the smoke progressed, the chocolate and sweetness took over clearly. Amount of smoke is just right and it was creamy enough for my taste. A bit strong for beginners - but still worth a try for sure. All in all - it felt like back then when you were in your 20s and you had a very good night out clubbing - when everything went smooth from the access to the club to the chicas smiling at you because it's simply a gorgeous funky Saturday night out. I fully recommend it for at least one try. I will definitely smoke this one again more than once. A bit overpriced but hei... at least it's quite a smoke so fk it. Peace and love!

Oh wow what a pleasant surprise. Duration time: approx 75 minutes. You might take longer to smoke it, but I like it so much that I just couldn't stop puffing and enjoying. Very easy to smoke - a great choice for beginners - with smooth, creamy smoke (smoke volume not that great though) and the aromas. Oh my of my. Such breezy summerish aromas. Hints of fruits - getting sweeter in the second part - nutty and also chocolate and coffee towards the 2nd and 3rd part. Felt in love with it - so I will put it in my "The Shiznit" humidor. Also see it as a light day to day smoke - goes well with light drinks like juices, coffee, wine., All in all it felt like a nice evening with my sister over a nice glass of wine. Warm, cozy, relaxed and all sprinkled with giggles here and there. 100% recommendation for at least one try. Peace and love!

Another disappointment by Vega Fina -and I think this will be the last I smoke. Duration: approx 110 minutes. Maybe it was just my cigar, but construction was less than decent for the price. The draw side started to crack (just bought it and kept in the humidor for a few days) and towards the end it was hard to smoke. I had to put it out before it's time. Smoke volume and creaminess are great indeed, but the flavours are just a mix that for me doesn't work. It felt like an attempt to try too hard, which only results in a "nice try". For the price there's much much better options out there. I've smoked better ones at half the price, so Vega Fina my friend I think we will not see each other too soon nor too often. All in all it felt like those products you see on bulk sales Chinese websites - looking great in the pictures and "good" reviews - but if you order the product you will end up with some cheap plastic that's nowhere near what you thought it would be. From my side a big NO. Peace and love!

Oh wow, Maria mi amor! An exceptional day-to-day cigar. smoking time: approx 70 minutes. A little bit difficult to light up at first (unless you want to cut the starting tip) but oh my what a delicious smoke. First of all the cigar looks absolutely fabulous. Attention to details in every single aspect of it. Perfect built- carefully rolled - dense leaves - impeccable burn and excellent amount of milky white creamy smoke. It is lightish - very good for beginners too I'd say. The aromas are too strong, yet plenty. Slight grassy, creamy, coffee and chocolate and a honey sweet taste (not too strong). All in all this cigar reminded me of someone I never wanted to marry or bring home, yet wouldn't want to let go because of the coolness of the cat and the excellent chemistry. 100% recommendation for at least one try. This just won a place amongst my weekly smokes favourites. Will have at least one in my humidor from now on. Peace and love!
