Black Label Trading Company - Super Deluxe Robusto Box Press 2025
Smooth and strong
Solid cigar, notes of dark fruits, dark chocolate, and french roast coffee. Bit of a tight draw, required a couple relights. Construction was the only downside. 4/5 all in all. Exceptional flavor.

Black Label Trading Company - BLK WKS Studio Killer Bee Petite Corona
Earthy and strong
On first light I got a nice earthy and almost vegetal note. As the stick progressed I still got that earthy note with an added sweetness in the background with some coffee and roasted nuts coming to the front. Highly recommend

Rojas - Breakfast Tacos Maduro
Pretty good
Flavor was predictably good, construction was ok. Slight bitterness throughout, but not unpleasant. Would be a good cigar to give to your friends who don’t normally smoke but want to try something different.

Oliva - Serie G Maduro Special G
Abbreviated maduro
Very nice short smoke. Typical maduro. Oliva is exceptionally consistent.

G. L. Pease - Triple Play 2oz
Smooth and spicy
A nice sweet and savory blend with a good bit of oomph. Spice comes through especially strong on the retrohale. Solid (almost) all day blend. Overall more balanced than what I expected.

Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged 2oz
Satisfying English blend
Almost overpowering bourbon tin note made me question whether this was an aromatic or not. On first light got a bit of the bourbon, but it mostly plays around the edges of the blend instead of taking center stage. Plum pudding lives up to its name by providing a nice spicy and sweet smoke. Highly recommend. Note: bourbon note is VERY present when smoked in a briar. I originally tried this in a meerschaum and the bourbon note was present in the background

BriarWorks - Country Lawyer 2oz
Nice and spicy blend
Reminiscent of a nice mild-medium cigar. Spicy with a touch of sweetness, stays fairly well lit. Doesn’t change much throughout the bowl. It’s not an everyday smoke, but it’s pretty well repeatable. I find it works well as a fall blend and pairs nicely with chai.

G. L. Pease - Montgomery 2oz
Solid VA
Nice clean tobacco taste. Burns a bit hot, but doesn’t generally bite hard.

Warped - Saint Espresso 2oz
Excellent aro
Tin note was that of a fairly sweet latte. Got slight coffee notes during the actual smoke, but mostly got a lightly sweetened burley/cigar taste. Room note was excellent. Paired great with a cup of coffee, shockingly enough
