Humidor Short Dog

A punchy smoke, full of flavour and character. Black Market Esteli Diamond aint no joke. Duration: approx 100 minutes A strong, creamy and oily smoke with chocolate, toast and wood in the spotlight, this cigar gives consistency to each puff. Very well built and great amount of smoke, with a nice ash resistance and plenty of tobacco consistency. A bit expensive, but tasty and memorable. All in all it feels like that teacher who is tough, but teaches you something and builds you a bit. It's that something that deserves respect. I will definitely smoke it again and I also recommend it at least once. Peace and love!

A great value smoke. Duration: approx 80 minutes A wonderful blend of creamy smoke, coffee, grass, pepper, wood and a bit of nut. Built by the book, this cigar burns evenly and offers just the right amount of smoke. The ash builds decently and each puff is pure pleasure. Maria Mancini is already amongst my fav brands and its light enough that beginners can and should try it too. All in all it just feels like those early summer days when you got to the seaside for the first time and the air is warm, yet the breeze is chilly enough to have your senses woken and sharp. Lovely stick. 100% recommendation. Peace and love!

Flor de Copan is awesome in any size apparently. Same great creamy smoke with fruity-grassy-pepperish aromas, excellent burn and uniform ash building and the amount of smoke is just right. Smoking time - approx 70-75 minutes All in all - feels like hanging out with your all time best friend whom you trust with your life and you enjoy every second together. Full recommendation. Also the price is excellent for what you get. Peace and love!

Creamy - fruity - grassy - slightly peppery towards the end - what a great mix of aromas. Very well built, nice and even burn, good ash resistance and plenty of smoke. Just what I would smoke on an everyday basis. All in all it feels like spending time with the wife you love even after many years and it's still awesome. Flor de Copan is something I smoke often and never get bored of it. Also price is justified fully. Full recommendation. Peace and love!

Amazing little beauty. Creamy, fruity, medium-light smoke. Smoking time approx 30-40 minutes. Very well built and goes perfectly with coffee or a drink. Nice and even burn. All in all this one is like your favourite accessory. Good quality - does the job - easy to take and enjoy anywhere you go. Full recommendation - especially for beginners. Peace and love!

Excellent aroma blend, perfect creamy smoke amount, super well built, with nice ash building. Very good everyday smoke which is good for beginners too. See my other Maria Mancini reviews for more details. Fully recommended and price per value ratio is A++ Peace and love!

A day to day masterpiece. Already Joya de Nicaragua is my top brand when it comes to smoking them sticks. This one is light, super well built, with a nice, pleasant and mega creamy smoke, with a burn that stays consistent and also a very good ash resistance. Taste wise - it is just like the spring air when you are in love. A mix of light and serious aromas, which says one thing only: indulging. All in all it is that dish that you love and you could eat it everyday and still be in love with it. Also easy to smoke for the beginners and a great introduction to the cigar world. Would I smoke it again? Already did couple of times and will do for sure - might become one of my regulars. Would I recommend it? 100%

Absolutely no. Got this as a present, but if I would have paid for it I'd be even more disappointed. Smoking time: approx 2 hours. Hard to get it to burn. Burn was not even. Sucking from it was almost impossible without airing it up from the back a bit. Flavours? Some dull "classics" in a mix that says absolutely nothing at all. Smoke? Weak. Creamy-ish, but not quality creamy. Price? Crazy for what it has to offer. All in all it feels like those Versace T-Shirts from the Versus with a cheap logo on an even cheaper piece of cloth they bought in bulk from some second hand factory leftover somewhere in South East Asia. Result? Looking like a clown and paying extremely unjustified money for it too. Never again and can't recommend it to anyone. Maybe except a few that pissed me off one day at Rewe. That s another story though. Peace and love!

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!

Got this as a gift for my birthday. Bought from cigar world.de Reviewed most of them individually already. All in all a wonderful selection and a great introduction into the Joya De Nicaragua world. A great brand with lovely well made cigars. Tasty, light enough so even beginners can easily enjoy it. I have the feeling that it's cheaper to buy them individually, BUT the presentation is excellent. Nice wooden box and 4 A++ cigars make a perfect gift. 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!
