This is a great video on how to properly cut a cigar. I’ll be posting more cigar tips and tricks videos as they come to me. Next We’ll be posting a video on how to smoke a cigar.

Gurkha – Master’s Select

Size: (6″ x 50) Toro Wrapper: Natural Strength: Medium Personal Rating: 4 Price: $6.00 per stick Smooth, creamy, and surprising… this is how I would describe this cigar. As always Gurkha has delivered another masterpiece in their cigar lines. There is some spicy to it and it’s pretty strong even though I rated it “Medium”. [...]

Olivia – Series G

Size: (5″ x 52) Wrapper: Nicaraguan Maduro Strength: Medium Personal Rating: 4.5 Price: $3.50 per stick For those of you looking for a smooth, flavorful cigar for not much out of pocket, I would recommend the Olivia Series G. The craftsmanship is wonderful with the wrapper having a nice oily sheen. This cigar burns great, [...]

Dunhill – Signed Range

Size: Toro (6.0″ x 50) Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo Strength: Medium to Full Personal Rating: 3/5 Price: around $10.00 Honestly for the price I was expecting more. I happen to try one of these because a friend was gracious enough to buy me one. For me, it became very bland very quickly. It started off spicy [...]

CAO – Brazilia

UnderTheGun here again with another review. I love cigars and hope that any readers of this blog take my reviews with that grain of truth I try to put to them. The CAO Brazilia is truly a cigar that I like to treat myself to when I get bored of the rest of my collection. [...]

If you ever need to unwind, and I mean really unwind, try the following recipe. Cigar Onyx Reserve or Romeo y Julieta Bully Drink – Single malt Oban Scotch 14 Yr. And the rest is up to you. A good steak dinner, have some friends over to enjoy these with you, or sit home alone [...]

Romeo y Julieta – Bully

As always Romeo y Julieta cigars are top shelf material. The Bully is one of my favorite stogies by this legendary company. They’re strong, they burn slow, and have a taste that did knock my socks off. Of course I was wearing house slippers at the time All in all this cigar is NOT for [...]

Vegafina – Hecho A Mano

Normally I wouldn’t find myself trying this cigar. I try to stick to the more well-known brands or at least well-known to me. I found myself strapped for cash, as usually around the first of the month, and craving a quality cigar. When I’m in this situation I don’t go for the Black N Milds [...]

CAO – Mx2

Full bodied, strong, and amazing. These cigars are not for the novice smoker. These stogies pack a punch! They burn perfectly and have a great chocolaty taste that I’ve come to love. With their thick smoke and great aroma you can’t go wrong. And just a quick side note, they go perfect with your favorite [...]

Gurkha – Turk

Though it’s a milder cigar, considering it’s by Gurkha, this is one amazing cigar that strengthens as you smoke it. It has a very creamy smoke and that great taste you can expect from Gurkha cigars. The first time I smoked one of these I had just finished a nice steak dinner and was blown [...]
