Alacranes Habano 2000 Robusto May 2009 95
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Mike (mhuss)
I reviewed this Alacranes robusto H2000 back in September of last year. Since then, I was fortunate enough to sample other offerings of this brand. And I loved each of them. Then when Paul came cal... Read More
Alacranes Habano 2000 Robusto May 2009 94

I think Peter has a real winning blend here. Having smoked both wrappers in a variety of sizes and liking them both, I find the flavor and construction quite consistent. Based on the price of $5.50 -$... Read More
Isabela Miami Torpedo April 2009 82
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Eddie Naughton (BlackIrish)
A well-built mild cigar with some flavor, but one that isn't sure what it wants to be. The sweetened tip and knock-off band make me think that it's aimed at new smokers and poseurs, but the materials... Read More

Because I really liked the way this cigar felt and smoked, I found myself wanting to give it a higher score, but I was truly disappointed with the bitterness and therfore could not. Nonetheless, I eas... Read More

The first one of these I smoked was terrible, soft and really bitter. I had another one so I gave it another try. Im glad I did, it was alot better, this one was what you can expect from the brand Im ... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: G Scott Lewis (texlewee)
It was very hard for me to get past the sugar coated head. The sugar seemed to linger way too much and distracted me from the cigar itself. I understand the wish to throwback to the pre-Castro era, bu... Read More

Total 75 points. This cigar might be just right for another herfer, but it's not my cup of tea. I would never buy it. I will only smoke other sizes to review them, and only because I am getting them ... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Hot Stuff x (Hot Stuff x)
This is a very high quality, full-bodied cigar. Although very good, I would love to have some of these to place in the humi and give them a year or two of rest. I am admittedly a bit of a lightweight... Read More
Isabela Miami Esplendido March 2009 85
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: (SenorPablo)
In general I found this cigar to be enjoyable. I think it could have ranked a bit higher if it didn't have the sugary sweet cap that lasted nearly half-way through the smoke. This had very little ag... Read More
La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial #3 March 2009 86
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: BlackIrish (BlackIrish)
I'd enjoyed some regular LADCs and knew that CA had given very high marks to the Edicion Especial robusto, so I was looking forward to this smoke. Overall, I was a bit disappointed. I expected grade... Read More

CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Ken Kelley (Ken Kelley)
I really didn’t have a clue as to what to expect from this cigar as it is the first La Aroma de Cuba I’ve ever smoked. I’m a Nicaraguan tobacco fan so the slight sweetness was a real hit for me... Read More
La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial #3 March 2009 64

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Bob Cordell (Bob Cordell)
This cigar is a radical departure from the cigars that usually dwell in my humidors. The natural wrapper isnt at all like the Montes, CAO's or Romeo's that I usually stock in the lighter shades. It tr... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Peter (junglepete)
This is a cigar made for Ashton by Pepin Garcia. It deems a wrapper grown by the Oliva Tobacco Company and filler grown from Cuban seed. Now there is a combination that can't help but produce somethin... Read More

CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Rich Fry (lowpro75)
I was really looking forward to this cigar because I am a fan of the regular Aroma De Cuba line. In the end I feel this cigar never quite reached its full potential. I feel that I know what the ciga... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: G Scott Lewis (texlewee)
Transition in a cigar is normally a good thing, and is a telltale sign of a good cigar. I can't credit this cigar with that kind of accolade. The cigar transitioned from very poor, to tolerable, to f... Read More

This was a very nice smoke. It was medium in body but had good flavor and outstanding construction. This was my first experience with this cigar and now knowing what I know will be smoking many more o... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Trenton Puckett (Twinky)
Overall this was a pretty good smoke. It lasted 1:20. The off and on bitterness realy hurt this one. The complexity was there, but not in abundance. I think that this cigar could have tasted better, b... Read More

I don't feel good posting this review in that I don't think the brand got a fair shake due to the tight roll and poor draw on this one stick. Unless the other reviews have the same issues, then I supp... Read More

I came to this cigar with high expectations and it met them. Construction is top notch, and the flavor is smooth, complex, and delicious. With so many hyped cigars falling short, it's a nice change ... Read More
Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic Maduro February 2009 87
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Mike (mhuss)
The Hemingway Classic maduro is a tasty and delicious cigar. But it seemed to have lacked that extra punch of aroma and flavor, therefore putting it among the cigars that are ever-so-slightly above a... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Peter (junglepete)
All in all a great smoke that lasted the better part of 2 hours. I enjoyed it very much, but expected the flavors to be a little more on the robust side than the naturals. The level of complexity was ... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: G Scott Lewis (texlewee)
This cigar was a classic, as its name implied. All the flavours one might expect from a maduro were there. Chocolate, earth, barnyard, and light hints of pepper. The cigar finished as strong as it sta... Read More

This cigar is almost perfect, well made, great burn, great draw and very tasty. Its complex enough for veterans but easy smoking and never harsh for beginners. The complex flavor of aged tobacco, leat... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: (stogie_foggie)
Overall, this cigar had a smooth, earthy taste that I enjoyed over the usual spicy cameroon wrapper of the AF Hemingways. The combination of the milder blend and maduro wrapper made for a rich taste,... Read More
