Definition Prolific BP Maduro (Yellow Band) – Toro (Box Press) (6.5 x 54)
Is the Definition Prolific BP Maduro still as adept at generating the flavor and enjoyment as the Natural?
Hermanos de Armas Veiled Mutiny – Toro (6 x 54)
“Veiled mutiny” is a colloquial term for collective insubordination, mass protests, or silent disobedience that acts as a “cloaked” refusal to follow orders without constituting open rebellion. With my first, I felt like this cigar was really living up to its name with the burn issues.
Hermanos de Armas Descending Shadows – Toro (6 x 54)
In the military, descending shadows are small-unit tactical maneuvers where soldiers drop onto or infiltrate a target area. This type of activity is usually reserved for elite special forces. Is the HDA Descending Shadows elite enough to live up to the name?
Hermanos de Armas Cataclysm – Toro (6 x 54)
I dive into the first cigar of the HDA lineup. Does the Cataclysm pass muster?
Definition Big Iron (Silver Band) – Gordo (6.25 x 60)
In the Marty Robbins’ song, “Big Iron,” the Arizona Ranger kills Texas Red with just one bullet. Will the LACC Exclusive Big Iron by Definition Cigars take you out with a single shot?
Oliva Monticello – Robusto (Box Press) (5 x 50)
Monticello was Thomas Jefferson’s home. Why the fuck Oliva named a cigar after it? Nobody seems to know. Does it matter if the cigar slaps?
Tatuaje PCA 2025 Exclusive – Robusto Grande (Box Press) (5.63 x 54)
We dive into the 2025 PCA exclusive from Tatuaje. Retailers had to order it at PCA to get it. You just need to get it from them.
Gran Habano S.T.K. Black Dahlia – Corona Gorda (5.63 x 46)
The Gran Habano S.T.K. Black Dahlia is considered one of the OG’s of boutique cigars. How does it hold up to today’s offerings?
Ohana Nui Mo Olelo – Toro (6 x 52)
The LACC Collective Pack offered a rare chance to try an unreleased event cigar from Ohana Nui. Mo’Olelo means tradition and story, should this cigar become part of Ohana Nui’s story?
Foundation Tabernacle Knight Commander – Perfecto (6.75 x 52)
The Knight Commander was inspired by the Knight Commander of the Ethiopian Star of Honor, a title bestowed upon Nicholas Melillo for his dedication and commitment to Ethiopia’s rich cultural legacy.
