Very nice cigar. Lots of campfire flavors, wood, a bit of caramel and chocolate. If it had a better draw it would be a real gem but even without the perfect draw on the flavors are really v…
Amazing construction, amazing draw. Great flavors immediately hitting you from the very first puff. You don't have to wait for anything to develop with this thing. Getting notes of wood, pl…
This is one of those stinkier funky or cheeses. It's got a lot of mold on the outside but that's safe to eat. I imagine some people wouldn't be able to get past the side of it and make us a…
The draw's a little bit tight. Not terrible though. I can still smoke it. Fortunately the smoke output is still really good. Starting off with a bunch of Woody notes. A hint of cardboard. L…
Not actually the original Amber ale as the can states. Not sure how they are justifying that label however, it's a fine. Amber ale. Flavors are not too overstated, smooth and refreshing. Wo…
I'm drinking it neat, it's got a sweetness to it, a little bit of an aftertaste comes through right after you sip it. It almost seems like it can taste some of the corn but not quite. Overa…
This is a pretty good sake. It's one of the sweeter cloudy sockies which I normally don't like as much, but this one really doesn't let the sweetness get too bad and the amount of solids th…
Pretty smooth, really easy to drink. Not a lot of depth but pleasant flavors. A little bit of honey and maybe vanilla. This would be a great first rye for someone who is looking to explore.
These are not my favorite sardines. I generally prefer them in olive oil instead of water, but on top of that there's kind of a stuffy taste to them. They don't have a fresh taste. I would…
Dry, lots of woodiness, very interesting flavor. Bright. A little bit lacking in depth. For the price you could do better though.
Good construction, great flavor right from the top. Woodiness, leather, fermentation. Motor oil. Off to an amazing start. 20 minutes in still great. Similar flavors as before. Draw and burn…
This is my first rum in as long as I can remember, but I've been reading the rum diaries by Hunter s. Thompson and inspired me to order a rum. Drinking it neat. Sweet, molasses taste to it.…
The Curry coconut taste is subtle but noticeable. The pieces of potato and pepper are very nice. Very small, and the quality of the sardines is good. There's the slightest hint of spiciness…
Decent dry. Very traditional cigar flavors at the beginning. Getting some cardboard flavors at the beginning. I'm 22 minutes in right now it just still tastes like cardboard. Just a sweeter…
There was some sort of plastic stopper when I opened this. I'm not really sure what that was for or why it was there. This is super strong and hard to tolerate, like the other absence I had…
Construction is good just like all padrons. Very nice velvety flavored smoke. Lots of rich flavors. This is about 40 a bucks a stick, I think it's worth it. In my opinion it's better than t…
Good taste. Really amps up after you take a sip, lots of caramel coming through. Honey too. Very good.
It's got a very earthy flavor. Earth Earth Earth. About 30 minutes into it, still earthiness is the one note I can really say this has although it's getting more complex and deeper and rich…
15 minutes in has a nice fresh citrus smell to it. Citrus and fresh cut grass. An hour in, it's not as strong as it was before, but still there. The cut grass smell is a big weaker, the cit…
A nice powdery smell. And some flowery smells in there as well but a little bit more silver than the powder smell. 35 minutes in and it's still going pretty strong. An hour in and still ver…
