This is very good, it's got kind of a smoky flavor especially on the retrohale. Complex. It seems like it's been aged a good amount of time. The draw is really good. I had to cut it up a li…
A very good draw, the flavor is kind of bitter but with an overtone of sweetness at the same time. Not particularly complex. It seems like you don't get a lot of the good stuff you get from…
Not super impressed with this so far, has a good taste but it's pretty subtle. Smoke production isn't great.
The draw on the cigar is pretty good, I can taste some nice fermentation on the tobacco. Getting to the second half of this cigar, same flavors but a little bit more bold now.
I would give this an eight or nine, very great trial very good flavors got that fermented goodness
Very good flavor and very good draw This is, all in all, a pretty great stick for the price. This is kind of what I think of when I think of Plasencia: sophisticated taste, particularly goo…
I do detect a little bit of spice to this, not super strong flavors but the flavors that are there are pleasant. The construction is decent though not perfect there's a little softness to i…
Nice and smooth. It has a good flavor to it I've had these before, and the construction is almost always great. The flavor is not top-tier but it's definitely better than average and pretty…
This is a pretty good cigar with a very nice draw, a little bit of bitterness on the tail end and a little bit of sweetness and creaminess throughout the whole thing at the beginning especi…
Imperial Stout brewed with blackstrap molasses and licorice, dry spiced with Cherry Bark and vanilla bean, 50% aged in Bourbon, wine, and new Oregon Oak barrels. The beer is very dark even…
Reconstruction like most of the Oscars cigars have. It has an interesting flavor that the other Oscars don't seem to have. I'm having trouble to come up with words to describe it. Somewhat…
Has a triple cap with different types of leaves but I couldn't get a good draw without taking them all off. Aside from that the draw is good as is the construction although it doesn't look…
The draw on the cigar is pretty bad. It takes 3 or 4 Puffs before you can get a decent amount of smoke on the inhale. When you finally get some smoke The Taste is pretty decent. It's a litt…
Alcohol by volume is 9%. This is one of my favorite Stouts. A deep rich flavor with a good amount of complexity to it. Has that good quality that Stouts get with a high alcohol percentages…
This beer is 9.3% alcohol by volume. There is a bitterness to this beer but it is mixed with a smooth flavor. Some hoppy flavor comes in right after the initial subtle bitterness. Overall t…
This IPA has a very crisp taste. It's not overly better, not really bitter at all which is a very unusual property for an IPA. Not a very strong aftertaste all the way it sits around for a…
I like the 15-year Reserve so much I wanted to go back and try the 12. This one has a bit more spice than the 15 year, and it lingers on the tongue a little bit longer and sharper. It reall…
This is very bubbly and very sweet. It reminds me of birthday cake oddly enough. It's a little bit too sweet period after drinking a whole bottle you wish you had something dryer.
After taking a draw my mouth explodes with flavors. There's a good amount of spice to the flavor but subtle notes of cinnamon and even vanilla which are strange things to use to describe a…
This cigar starts off with a ton of spice. It has a medium draw and a good amount of smoke output. Has a good amount of bitter flavor coming in with a spice. As I get a little further into…
