Humidor Short Dog

Tried this after the Shade Churchill. Smoked it for about max 1 hour and took my time with it. It burns fast - probably short fillers do so compared to long fillers? Nicely made with an even and easy burn - no flaws in construction and consistency. Same simple bouquet of aromas evolving around the chocolate-coffee-dark soils and some toasty feels, toasted nuts and some hay. Basic in flavours somehow but it does not disappoint. All in all I see this as a quicky. Maybe with coffee? Feels like a snack of cigars. Also for the price - nothing bad to say at all. Would recommend to beginners with the amendment that although it’s a proper cigar - it’s still a short filler so if you’re trying this as your first - don’t imagine you got the full cigar smoking experience. Peace and love!

Smoked this little one for about one hour. Felt like something you could smoke on a daily basis either with your coffee or late eve with a last glass of scotch. For the price it's a pretty good one. Decently rolled, ok burn, easy to light up. The creaminess is the best part of it, yet the flavours are not really kicking in. There's some wood, hay, some toasty leather and some soils, but pretty hard to distinguish which is what. All in all it feels like that decent train station cheap kebap when you had a few beers, are in your 20s and hungry - doing the job just well. Will I try it again? Not really. La Aurora has much much better to offer - for higher prices though. Still if you re looking for your next everyday smoke and aren't a moonboy, this might work so it's worth a try. Peace and love!

Smoked it for almost 2 hours, but after one and a half I was feeling done with it already. And no it is not a bad smoke. Neither too good to justify the length in my opinion. Looks solid, rolling seems decent and consistency is comsi comsa - as the burning was a bit problematic after the first third, having to re-light it every 5-10 minutes. Now for what truly matters. The smoke. A big plus is the creaminess. Flavours evolve around the fresh leather, dry soils, toast, coffee and chocolate. Nutty here and there and spicy towards the end - but not too much. There's some hints of European forest wood here and there and some hay, but those are hidden by the strong leather-soil mix. A folk cigar if you ask me. Works with anything. I had it with beer and wine, but could have had it with a coffee or a soda and would enjoy it just as much. Reminded me of the late 80s communist public swimming-pool ice-cream - nowhere near the first Michellin star but was doing the job perfectly in torrid summer days. Because of the size - wouldn t recommend it to a beginner, although it's about medium strength. For everyday smokers though - I think it is a very good smoke for the money. Peace and love, y'all!

If I'm not wrong it's my first Henry Clay and what a nice surprise it was. Lasted for about one hour which is decent for a corona. To be honest for me the aspect of it says nothing in particular - just an average looking cigar. Very well processed though and with great consistency. Easy to light up and smoke and that's exactly when I was blown away - the very first toke. Medium-light in strength. Creamy. A wonderful cocktail of aromas in the area of summer flowers and fruits, young wood, fresh grass, barely ripe hazelnuts, and soft flavours of chocolate, leather and light, post-rain soils. All in all it felt like getting out of your house right after one of the first summer rains that the earth missed and the smell of wet dust and soil tickles your brain in a healthier way than an erotic massage. Would definitely recommend this to beginners and all of you who like lighter smokes. I had it with a cold beer, but I can only imagine this would go excellent with a hard, black coffee. An absolute recommendation for at least a try and oh almost forgot. Price is top for what you get. Great job, Henry Clay. Peace and love!

What does the word value mean today anyway? Back in my dad and grandpa's days, products were built with one thing in mind: serving the purpose they were built for. And they did that pretty damn well. Yes, there wasn't such a variety as today, but... a thing well done was an everyday thing. Joya, in my opinion, never fails to deliver handy tools for our purpose: enjoying a good cigar. And yes, these Rosalones aren't anything in the cigar "haute couture" area, but listen up. This stick delivers on all fronts. And all for a decent price too. This, to me, is value. A nice tool built to properly serve its purpose - all for affordable plata. Very well rolled. Good consistency. Easy to light up and smoke. Even burn. No bullshit. Not super creamy, but a bit. Not punchy in flavors, but enough. Brown soils and European forest types of woods, late autumn hay, slightly fruity here and there, and hints of coffee and nuts make this smoke simply pleasant. All in all, it reminded me of my grandfather's shaving tools. He used them for decades and they were not luxury products, but they worked just fine. And I bet they didn't cost a fortune. Good job, Joya. As usual, you rock. So - if you want an everyday smoke for good money - go for it 100%! Peace and love!

What an elegant mix! Smoked this beauty for about 90 minutes and enjoyed it fully. Elegant label, great looking stick, with a pleasant smell and fruity-aromatic cold draw. Consistency is tip top and rolling technique is top-standard. Burns even, decent ash resistance and creamy from start to finish. A peppery feel accompanies each toke from the first few draws and intensifies towards the end. Even so - the stick is not harsh at all. Young woods mix well with exotic dried fruits flavours, fresh forest post-rain soils, young leather and hints of coffee and nuts here and there. A good quality smoke that feels like early summer at the tropics. The type of smoke that goes well with any drink and even water since it's providing enough flavour. One of the classics. Price wise it is fair for the top quality it provides. I've smoked sticks double the price that were nowhere near as tasty. So yes a full recommendation and yes I will smoke it again. Peace and love!

A very enjoyable stick. Smoked it for about 100-110 minutes. Simple label, simple looks - simple taste - but all done so well. Very easy to light up, nice relaxed draws, plenty of creamy smoke and an even burn even when it was smoked outside. The ash won't build up too much before falling, but for me this was never an issue. From the first draw I've felt before anything else - good quality tobacco. It is a light stick, with airy construction - which makes sense. Grass is the main aroma, with fruity flavours to back it up and hints of wood, light wet soils, a bit toasty and a background sweetness that lasts for the whole smoking experience. The flavours don't evolve nor disappear throughout the smoke, which for me is a non issue. When a stick starts well - I don't mind that goodness to last. And here that is the case. All in all it feels like a nice brain massage because there's nothing extraordinary about this cigar, yet the simplicity of it delivers pure, non complicated quality. Well priced in my opinion and I would recommend it with open heart to any beginner. This was my first Griffin's - but I will definitely try all their other smokes. And I can recommend it to anyone - especially to those who like lighter smokes. Good job with this one. Peace and love!

A wide array of flavours in a big stick. Smoked it for about 2 hours if not a bit more. Construction is good - which means nowhere near perfect but can't really complain either. There's room for improvement in the way it burns and ash resistance too. Draw was good though. Now for what truly matters - the taste. Oscar never cease to amaze me with the way they play with flavours. This one started with a burst of floral liquorice, then allowing the rest of the flavours to unwrap. Woody, some light soils, a bit toasty and even a bit peppery here and there, but the base are fruits and floral tones. Tropical fruits can be felt from top to bottom, and some summer flowers somehow stay in your moth as a slight aftertaste. There's some fresh nutty touches also here and there and very vague hints of chocolate and cocoa. The creaminess is there, but that's not the point in this stick and the average amount of it is somehow non bothering. All in all it feels like those summer intimate adventures one has when young - surprising, arousing curiosity, yet kinda sloppy and, well... somehow incomplete. Would I smoke it again? I think yes and for the money it is absolutely worth it. Almost forgot. It is a light smoke - so beginners are welcome to try also - just don't make an impression that this is what cigars in general are like:) So yes it's worth getting your hands on one of these. Peace and love!

A true celebration of life indeed. What a lovely stick. Enjoyed it for about 80 minutes and loved every toke of it! Construction is spot on - I would have maybe made it a bit more consistent with the tobacco, not that it felt in any way too airy. From the first toke I felt a burst of creaminess and a toasted/spicy mix of floral-fruity bouquet. There's coffee and chocolate in the background, but so well mixed with the fruity aromas like sour cherry and raisins. There's also a honey-ish touch to it and speaking of which - it is a bit sweet too, but not like sugar-dipped cigars sweet. More like a subtle, natural kind of sweetness. There is also a young hay flavour that tickles senses here and there and all these beautiful flavours and aromas combined just work beautifully. All in all it reminded me of my childhood, when my mom was cooking her "secret recipe" cookies and just the smell of it would drive a young boy nuts. The stick is a real treat and a refreshing pause in my case from what I usually like (more stronger, dark-raw flavoured sticks). Too bad I have noticed now it is not available anymore on cigarworld because for 15 Eur this is a gem. And I remember I have tried the Lancero version too last year and was also highly well impressed. So if it ever comes back ... let's get it boys and girls! Peace and love!

Wow, Drew Estate. You did it again. After loving the Undercrown Maduro some time ago - I've had the chance to experience this new toy and my senses were pleased once more. Smoked it for about 70 minutes. Production is top level - and the consistency, burn, draw and wrapping technique - should all serve as a YES example to all cigar producers. And yes the smoke was plenty - and creamier than expected considering the flavours - which was only a good plus. Coffee and chocolate are kings here - but don't expect sweetness which would have only ruined it. Brown fertile soils, forest wood, some toasty grass and hints of pepper and dried fruits make this a simple - but potent and raw smoke. Almost forgot about the leather - that is also present. A wide array of flavours dominated by coffee, but all mixed so well I would not change a thing. All in all it felt like a top smoke for a folk. I doubt one would be surprised by the depth and subtlety of it because there's not the case - yet the aromas are clear enough to leave a mark and not let this pass by as "just another smoke". I will have it again for sure and if you like stronger smokes with punchy coffee aromas - this is yours to try. Peace and love!

A gorgeous lady which wraps you in tropical vibes. Smoked it for about 90 minutes. The thick, well wrapped stick impresses visually - with the label serving as the cherry on top. Each time I smoke a "La Aroma del..." I am impressed by the beauty of the label. So old school. So visually striking yet elegant. Consistency is not very dense so it's pretty easy to draw and smoke. Lighting it up wasn't a hustle either and burn was decently even with minor corrections here and there. Now for the real beauty of it - the smoking. Plenty of smoke. Thick. Creamy. Fulfilling. and the aromas - of my - such a delight. Strong forest wood vibes all the way, mixed with fruity aromas, coffee, chocolate, nuts and crude grass. Hints of liquorice here and there and everything slightly toasted. One of the good things for me was the consistency of the flavours during the whole smoking experience. Even the last part kept the same mix of flavours without becoming bitter or sour. And for the price? An easy 8.96522 out of 10. Will I meet this lady again? You bet your ass I will. Should you? I think you won't be sorry so yes. Peace and love!

A very delicious stick for sure. Not very big but smoked it for about 90 minutes easy. Very well processed and excellent consistency. Burns decently even, but the minor burning imperfections are irrelevant when you feel your mouth filled by thick, creamy, almost buttery smoke full of medium-strong quality flavours. Fresh, wet, soils - crude nuts and smoked leather make an excellent blend. There's hints of coffee, chocolate, woods, grass and some dried fruits even. But quality in taste and flavour is there from toke one to the very last. All in all it feels like a good quality steak that's properly done and properly cut. Will I smoke it again? You bet your ass I will. Should you? Please don't miss it. It's rare these days to find such a gorgeous smoke that has a fair price. Peace and love!

Mucho beautiful and suave flavours. Yummi little smokes. Not a fan of cigarillos but damn these are good. For a short filler cigarillo smoking it for about 20 minutes is quite something. So yes it is super worth the money. Quality of rolling and consistency is there but since it's machine rolled of course it should be up to a certain standard. Very pleasant taste - with plenty of smoke, with some creaminess and spiciness to complete the experience. Hay, toast and grass are kings here. There's some hints of chocolate, leather very subtle and soils too. Excellent blend of flavours that makes me think of torrid summer days by the beach - the perfect mixture of hot air and hints of freshness from the breeze. Would order again when finishing this box and definitely recommend it to you also. A taste of Cuba for not so much money. Peace and love, beautiful kids!

Well guess what. Felt better than the same smoke in the Robusto size which I've tried about half a year ago. First impressive thing for the money is the full 2 hours and a half of smoking with very small pauses if any. Well rolled, spot on consistency, even and slow burn and plenty of smoke with each toke. Could have been more creamy for my taste. Now the important part - taste. Expected less considering how plain and dull I ve felt the robusto version but not much of an improvement. It's a medium+ in strength, with pepper and toastiness sprinkled in each toke. Humid forest old soils, rough humid wood and some hints of nuts, coffee and some dried aromatic fruits here and there. Leather is also present together with a bit of hay. Now look it's not bad but almost... dull. Yet - for the money and the duration - this can go well with a nice wine that'd save it a bit. All in all it feels like those Temu products. Cheap but good with decent quality but nothing out of the ordinary. Would I smoke it again? Not sure to be honest maybe I will. Should you? For the price it's definitely worth a shot - worst case scenario you think "meh - next" but looks like some find it a good smoke so... 50 50. Peace and love!
