Arturo Fuente - Gran Reserva Spanish Lonsdales Natural
It's nothing special
This cigar isn't special, nor does it have any interesting, memorable qualities to it. That said, it delivers a smooth smoke with no off flavors, so it's perfect to use as an everyday cigar.
Cornell & Diehl - Bayou Morning Flake 8oz
Bravo
This blend is absolutely perfect for pairing with a cup of coffee and pancakes first thing in the morning — it's truly fantastic.
Arturo Fuente - Gran Reserva Flor Fina 8-5-8 Natural
Good taste
It's a really fantastic everyday cigar. I've bought well over 20 boxes of it. As my daily go-to smoke, it's totally one-of-a-kind and absolutely flawless. But it has one major downside: the wrapper is just way too rough. That's literally the only issue I have with it — other than that, it's genuinely perfect in every way.
Davidoff - Winston Churchill Belicoso (4 Pack)
Wonderful
This Davidoff is so damn good. It’s super portable, easy to toss in your pocket on the go, and the smoke is buttery smooth, not a single weird off note to be found. The only downside? The price, plain and simple.
Arturo Fuente - Hemingway Best Seller
Obsessed
This Arturo Fuente Hemingway Best Seller is absolutely fantastic. It’s a bit compact in size, sure, but I love smaller format cigars for exactly this reason — they deliver a far more pronounced punch, with a much cleaner, more defined flavor profile. Compared to larger ring gauge cigars, the flavors here open up significantly faster, and every note is way easier to pick up on throughout the smoke.
Oliva - Connecticut Reserve Lonsdale
I don't like this one
I really don’t like this Oliva. The wrapper is absolutely gorgeous, but the smoke has off notes and is harsh, not smooth at all. I don’t pick up any of the pepper notes it’s supposed to have—what it gives you instead is just a really terrible, acrid smokiness.
Mac Baren - Vanilla Cream 3.5oz
Good
Total banger, beautiful sweet profile, and for an aro, it’s incredibly smooth all the way through the draw
Orlik - Golden Sliced 100g
Not bad
Orlik is so overhyped these days. It’s a decent daily tobacco, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not nearly as good as people make it out to be. It’s just a solid alternative to Luxury Navy Flake or Escudo, and all this crazy hype is totally over the top.
St. Bruno - Ready Rubbed 1.75oz
It’s absolutely perfect as a daily driver
This blend easily deserves a 5/5 recommendation, but I’m only giving it a 3.5/5, and it all comes down to the price. It’s supposed to be a daily driver, but at $17.55 a pouch, it’s completely unfit for everyday smoking. At this price point, there are far better options out there, and no reason to settle for this.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Sweet Peach 50g
Beginner friendly
This blend is perfect for beginners, seriously, it’s absolutely ideal for anyone just starting out
Oliva - Serie V 135th Anniversary Edicion Limitada
It's not my choice
All I can say about this cigar is that it’s decent. It delivers a smooth smoke, and out of all the Oliva Serie V , this is my favorite. However, it lacks any real variation and can get quite monotonous, so it pairs best with a VSOP or XO cognac.
