Humidor Short Dog

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!

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!

A big cigar, but very easy to smoke. Airy - maybe a bit too airy for me and thus a fast burner. It was all gone in about 75 minutes. Aromas are not much, but the smoke is smooth and the quantity of smoke is plenty. A grassy-woody-taste with subtle creaminess which could go well after a light dinner or maybe even better in the morning with a coffee. I think this would go well with beginners since it's so easy to smoke. Not the best experience ever BUT for 4.2 Eur - the price performance ratio is excellent. I think I might give it some chances here and there in the future. For the price I definitely recommend it to anyone - especially beginners. All in all it's like the free sodas so many offices have for their employees. You would never be impressed by a Fanta, but when you are thirsty - a cold fresh Fanta feels A++ considering it's a cheap product. Peace and love!

If it would have been well processed - this could have been a gem. Let me explain. Smoked it for about 90 minutes, but it was a hustle. Poked it couple of times (it even cracked a bit at some point) in order to get a decent draw out of it. Looks good, but the leafs are way too condensed inside so not easy to smoke. Yet- Oscar delivers as usual something magical in terms of aromas. A wonderful bouquet of grassy-fruity flavours that is quite original and specific to Oscar cigars . Not sure where they get their tobacco from or what they do to it but it is unique in taste and flavours. Smoke is creamy too, a bit toasty here and there, with young wet soils flavours kicking in especially in the second part. Almost sweet, with young wood flavours mixing with the summer tropical fruity aromas in such a way that you can hardly find comparisons. All in all it felt like a wonderful trip somewhere like Thailand, but because of the hustle to draw from it - let's say it's a holiday where you stay in cheap places which are the bum part of the trip. Will I smoke it again? I think I will to see if maybe my cigar was not the best of the bunch, and I recommend it fully for the flavour and taste. Price wise it is also pretty decent, so no comments there. Peace and love!

A bit of everything at a price that's hard to beat! Smoked my smoke for about 90 minutes and I enjoyed it. Construction wise it looks great, but consistency is a bit weird since the burning was pretty difficult at times - but for a 7 Eur stick it is fantastic. Smoke is plenty when it's not clogged, and pretty creamy too. Very nice taste - where wood, pepper and grassy notes dominate the whole experience. Fruity vibes here and there, some nutty aromas too, coffee kicks in more in the second part and some soils can be also felt. More like muddy soils but in a nice way. Can't say it is a strongly flavoured smoke, so a bit of punchiness would have made this a pure gem, but still it is more than decent. All in all it feels like one of these cold winter days when you are in your warm house and enjoy the simple coziness of your place. So nothing outstanding, but for the price - an absolute must try. Hard to beat in the price segment so yes I recommend it for at least a taste. I will also try some more for these guys. Peace and love!

Few can beat a Maria Mancini in this price range if any. Smoked this beauty for about 70 minutes. As usual - Maria Mancini comes with fair smokes for the people. For the masses of smokers. No pretentious bull but not cheap in feel and taste either. Rolled more than decent, with a rough yet simple aspect, cheap paper for the label but with a gorgeous design and the classic Mancini image and easy to light and smoke. Consistency is more towards the airy side, but not bothering considering the price. Tobacco feels good, on the mid range of strength and surprisingly creamy. Taste wise it is the mix of wood with grass and nuts that run the show, but the slight toastiness and hints of coffee, dried fruits and leather is what really makes it a grogeous smoke. All in all it feels like a well done smashed burger. It shouldn t cost much but if well done - few things in life compare to it. Will I smoke it again? Absolutely. Mancinis are already in my humidor all the time if not this one another from them. Should you? Absolutely - especially if you are not swimming in money. Absolutely good value for money.

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!

One more gem discovered. Went directly in my allstar list. Over 2 hours of delicious and hefty smoking experience for a stunning price. This is a clear example in my opinion on how pricing should work for cigars. Rolled jsut right, consistency makes it easy to smoke while still having plenty of smoke, and the burning is even all the way. The taste expands on almost all palettes from slightly pepperish wood to toasty grass, nuts, chocolate, leather and various types of soil. Chocolate, nuts and toasty grass are predominant though. And it lasts and it lasts. All in all to me this felt like my mother's home made chocolate - from back when I was a little kid. 3 or 4 kilos of thick, cocoa buttery, hefty and delicious, cheap to produce but priceless in enjoyment. CAO did a great job here. This cigar is not a masterpiece BUT it is a lesson to cigar producers these day: offer great quality for a fair and affordable price. Will definitely order a few more for my humidor. And yes I fully recommend you have one too.

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 day to day classic. There were some minor issues with the superior layer exfoliating towards the end, but I am sure this was an exception, because I've smoked plenty Maria Mancinis and usually the construction is excellent. Smoked for about an hour. Like most Mancinis, this stick is a gem for its price. Creamy, light, easy to smoke, plenty of smoke though, with even burn. Tastes fruity, grassy, creamy. A simple smoke from taste perspective, but very pleasant and a great candidate for daily smokes. All in all it feels like your favourite spot on your couch. Warm, cozy, always delivering comfort. Would I smoke it again? Hell yes. Should you? Please do. Peace and love!

A delicious smoke from Flor de Copan. One hour of pure enjoyment. Not strong, although it is a Maduro - so good for beginners also. Tastes like a nice treat - bit of cream, bit of chocolate, bit of coffee, leather, with toast being the strongest. The shape is awesome and somehow the cone form makes it easier to smoke. Very well rolled and the consistency is spot on for this category. All in all it feels like your favourite restaurant coming up with a great new dish - making your dinner an experience while still feeling safe that you eat from the cook you know for so long. Will I smoke it again? 100%. Should you? 100%. Peace and love!

Now this is a good value for your money. Smoked it for about 90 minutes. Very well rolled, good consistency and excellent burn. Even the label is better quality than other much more expensive sticks. Then again - yes - it is not a top quality cigar. Taste wise it is dull, simple, with toast soil and wood present all the time and some pepper and little fruit hints. All in all it feels like those t-shirts that are cheap but you love them because they are good quality. Would I smoke it again? I will try other sizes for sure and again - very well done for the money but nothing special. So you can try it - it s absolutely worth it for the plata. Peace and love!

A small stick which leaves a grande' impression. Smoked it for about 30 minutes. Excellent price-performance ratio. Well rolled, nice consistency, perfect burn and easy to smoke. Ash collection is irrelevant to such a small stick anyway. Maria Mancini makes awesome cigars for great prices and this makes no exception. Tastes like coffee and nuts mostly, but has serious hints of leather, toast and even vaguely fruity (dried fruits). All in all it feels like the small moments of happiness in life feel like. For example a nice sunlight in the morning after a rainy, gloomy week. Will I smoke it again? 100%. Should you try it? 100%! Peace and love!
