Overall, a great cigar. I'm really glad I had the opportunity to try this one through this GC because I may have overlooked this one. I will definitely be ordering more of these in the future and wi... Read More

This G6 cigar is the frontmark vitola first created and perfected by George Rodriguez for his new Rodrigo Boutique Blend line. The goal for creating the blend of brand of cigars was to offer a flavor... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Mike (mb2456)
As I have said before, this cigar reminds me of another cigar I really enjoy, Brickhouse from J.C. Newman but with a little more spice. I really did enjoy this offering from Rodrigo Cigars. The 60 r... Read More
Rodrigo Boutique Blend G6 November 2011 87
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Armin (kola)
Overall, this is a first class cigar in appearance, burn, and flavor. My only wish is that the draw had allowed for more smoke. The flavors were tantalizing from beginning to end, and I wanted more ou... Read More

Overall this cigar was very enjoyable on both occasions. The first cigar was accompanied with Dr. Pepper, and the second one which I smoked a week later was accompanied with Dr. Pepper and Rum. Not s... Read More
Rodrigo Boutique Blend G6 November 2011 87
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Jason Sherlock (Jackal)
I was very happy with the flavors of these sticks. They are much larger than what I normally smoke, and they took around two to two and a half hours to smoke. I would like to try these again in a ... Read More
El Rey del Mundo Reserva Salado Cabinet October 2011 85

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Nathan (nwb)
Overall, I rather enjoyed this cigar but it lacked any true "Wow" factor. The construction was good and flavor enjoyable, but I was expecting more complexity. With all that being said, I would smoke... Read More

When I initially pulled this cigar from the cello wrapper the cello had some nice yellow staining indicating it had some good rest. It had a very attractive appearance that said smoke me. The cigar wa... Read More
El Rey del Mundo Reserva Salado Cabinet October 2011 90
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Corey Mayo (cmmayo)
Give this cigar a chance to build in strength and flavor from its initial smooth, sweet flavor profile. It is worth the wait. This is a well-made cigar with a little more to offer in the way of flavor... Read More

First, thanks to Bob Cordell for sponsoring this review and selecting me as one of the reviewers. I am a die hard ERDM fan but I found this stick to come up a little short in the flavor department. T... Read More
El Rey del Mundo Reserva Salado Cabinet October 2011 86

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Don Miller (DonM)
The flavors of this cigar were enjoyable but never gave off any complexity. A little disappointing in the draw initially but it opened up. I enjoyed the cigar, being milder to medium and consistent,... Read More
Jersey Joe's Torpedo Sumatra September 2011 84
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: southernpacifico (southernpacifico)
Again, the construction, burn and ash was the fore front of this cigar. The draw and a slight metallic taste was the down side of this cigar for me. The draw and smoke volume did come around while sm... Read More
Jersey Joe's Torpedo Sumatra September 2011 77
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Horrido (horrido)
I found this cigar to be visually appealing with its construction, but the only thing wrong on the almost perfect construction was the large vein running two thirds the way down the length, which othe... Read More
Jersey Joe's Torpedo Sumatra September 2011 82
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Chip (cocon)
The construction was very good. Great care was taken in the making of this stick. The pre-light aroma was slightly mis-leading in relation to the flavor while smoking. Overall not a bad smoke, may no... Read More
Jersey Joe's Torpedo Sumatra September 2011 90

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Chris Robinson (hardeveningsuburb)
I enjoyed this cigar very much. The burn was maintenance-free, the ash was firm and the smoke was tasty, well balanced and smooth. The construction was quite good, aside from the minor tears and the... Read More
Jersey Joe's Torpedo Sumatra September 2011 85
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: C.H. Timberlake (rumrunner88)
This cigar offers some good complexity and a pretty decent change from beginning to end. Construction was quite good, and I believe would correct itself with some more humi time. This lasted a little ... Read More
Camacho Liberty 2011 August 2011 85
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: (ratboy)
Like its predecessors this Liberty is a well constructed smoke. It has perfect construction and burned beautifully but when it comes down to it, it didn't deliver on flavor and that's what I'm always ... Read More
Camacho Liberty 2011 August 2011 85
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Eddie (BlackIrish)
When I think of Camacho, I think of big, full-flavored cigars that deliver a nicotine punch, like the Triple Maduro, the Coyolar, the Corojo. This year's Liberty is different. It's lighter, more del... Read More

I enjoy Camachos, particularly the Liberty series, and this stick was no exception. Construction was perfect, and the pre-light was near perfect. Only the absence of an aroma from the wrapper kept i... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Kevin (wescat)
I am admittedly a Camacho fan; I greatly enjoy both collecting and smoking the Liberty line. I have had my share of them, from 2005 to present. I like the 2011 Liberty a lot, it is a very smooth cigar... Read More
Camacho Liberty 2011 August 2011 91
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Nathan (nwb)
I've been fortunate to smoke every year's vintage since 2005, and this ranks near the top. It is different than the 2005 and 2009 - more mellow and creamier at the core. Unlike those years, I see th... Read More

Nice complexity to this full bodied stick. I really enjoyed the first and second third. The flavors were smooth and had a lot of depth. The dense chocolate/berry taste is what brings attention to thi... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Billy Ibach (billy82)
The name says it all. From the band to the final puff I was in its spell and it did not let me go. For me, there was a lot of complexity thoughout the whole cigar and it always kept changing on me. ... Read More
La Sirena Original (Pepin Blend) Divine July 2011 85
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Neil (Shukpaw)
I don't know why this one started out so bad. It ended up being worth it. Without the bad start this could have been a very good cigar. Maybe it needed more humidor time. The construction was amaz... Read More

This was a very enjoyable stick. It looked good, smelled good and tasted good. My biggest draw back for this one was the draw: it was to tight for my tastes and I feel like it limited smoke production... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Jason Harris (jharrisx5)
My overall impression of this cigar is that it is very good. I didn't do any research in advance, to purposly not slant my opinion, so I was not sure what to expect. While I rate this a 90, I have t... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Wayne Foran (Herfin' Chef)
This was not my first Crusader nor is it going to be my last. From it's near flawless construction to it's wonderful tasting blend. This is a medium bodied cigar lovers dream. It's not the most comple... Read More

I love the flavor of this cigar. It is subtle in some ways but that is part of what makes it so good. When you are really paying attention to this cigar the complexity it displays is pretty impressi... Read More

This was a very good but not a great cigar. Esthetically, it was among the most attractive sticks I’ve seen. Quite simply, it was built beautifully, and it lasted a long time. The smoking charact... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Wes Leach (87North)
Over all, I thought this was a pretty good smoke, although, I must admit that I'm not the biggest fan of the 60 ring as 15/16 of an inch is just a little more than I usually want to take on. In this ... Read More

This is a very nice cigar. It is also a very large one. It took over 2.5 hours to smoke in total, enjoyable through and through. 84 points and it would have been a solid 3.5 stars for me. However ... Read More

I don't normally smoke cigars this big; I prefer smaller rings and don't often have two hours to devote to a cigar. I worry, too, that cigars this big will be boring. But, despite its size, I li... Read More

All in all I thought this was a nice smoke. I guess I had expected a bit more strength simply because the wrapper was so dark, but I wasn't disappointed to find that it was a more even-handed smoke t... Read More

Don’t let the creaminess fool you: This is a full body smoke! If I were doing a blind taste test, I would have sworn this was a Cuban cigar. It seemed to have all of the same characteristics, flav... Read More
