Camacho Liberty 2012 August 2012 92
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Corey Mayo (cmmayo)
Full of flavor, but not too powerful or spicy, this is a fantastic addition to the Liberty line. The construction is excellent, but the burn crapped out on me in the middle. The solid ash and appearan... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Kyle Whalen (kylepwhalen)
One of the problems I have with sticks nowadays is that they are all in a race to be full-bodied, full-strength. I was afraid this one would be no different, but I was pleasantly surprised. I can enjo... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Rebecca (Rebecca Silverwolf)
Overall, I liked this cigar. It was complex and dynamic in flavor, and the construction was top notch. I do think it would benefit from a little more age, as that might help mellow some of the harshne... Read More

I liked this cigar. It is not for the faint of heart. I smoked two of these for this review. I was feeling it by the end of both of them. I like a cigar that you can just go for it, and don't have... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Keith Crosby (Kckodiak)
First impression is that this is type of cigar you see in mobster movies hanging out of some "heavy's" mouth! I expected a lot more out of this but was not disappointed by any means. This is a hefty... Read More

I would put this in my list of the top five cigars I've smoked. I appreciate the larger ring gauges, yet I realize that a lot of you don't. I think in this case the large format allows the complexity ... Read More
A.J. Fernandez San Lotano Oval Robusto July 2012 80
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Emerson (McBryde)
I like AJ sticks and this one didn't do it for me. This smoke was unimpressive and I can't see spending that much money on this smoke($8 - $9). I didn't feel that it lived up to the hype of the cigar ... Read More

My initial post smoke thought about this cigar is it must be very young. I know that Wayne got them from AJ himself, so I tend to believe that he may have grabbed them off a very recent production. I ... Read More

Thanks for including me in this critique, Wayne. I enjoyed this smoke very much even though it really doesn't really fit my usual taste profile. However, that doesn't stop me from appreciating a well ... Read More
A.J. Fernandez San Lotano Oval Robusto July 2012 88
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Nathan (nwb)
Overall, I enjoyed this cigar, but it lacked the "Wow" factor for me. It is a flavor bomb and full in body, but it lacked complexity. With that being said, I would never turn one down and might pick... Read More

CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Anonymous Reviewer (Administrator)
This was a well-constructed ISOM cigar, part of a blind review, said to be from May of 2003. If so, I think it is possible that the cigar may have passed the point of where it benefited from extended ... Read More

Very subtle and smooth flavors and profile. None of which are going to just jump up at you and scream "I'm Here!". But they are there and blend wonderfully. Smell definitely added to this great little... Read More

Quesada Seleccion Espana Corona April 2012 91

This cigar is both creamy and spicy at the same time--something I like in both food and cigar choices. While the flavor lacks a bit for me, overall, this is a well-made, tasty cigar from Manuel Quesad... Read More

This cigar was originally intended to be sold only in Spain and the design of the double band speaks to that. Lucky for us someone screwed up, and North America now has access to it. This particular s... Read More

Great construction, an even burn, appealing presmell and appearance and a long, solid ash can't save a cigar with mediocre flavor. They put enormous effort into this creation, but fell short in the fl... Read More

I would not put this on the list of the greatest premium cigars ever made. It will not compare to the higher end sticks from companies such as Fuente, LFD, Tatuaje or Davidoff. However, it is by no ... Read More
