Tatuaje TAA Review | Highlight Cigars
http://www.highlightcigars.com/tatuaje-taa-review
October 19, 2013 By jason. It may not be a monster, but using the word “overlooked” when referring to the TAA or any Pete Johnson release is silly. Maybe La Riqueza never made it to Tat’s minimum buzz level. That one is a bit of a mystery. It’s a cigar that everyone loves and apparently nobody smokes. But we digress… let’s get on with the Tatuaje TAA Review! Essentially, the TAA sticks to the plain-and-rustic formula that’s served PJ well for a decade. Pretty hard to argue with. Right from the start this...

Camacho Diploma Cigar Review. December 1, 2013 By jason. Our perspective on Camacho’s 2013 marketing push is detailed here already. So we won’t go in to all the changes happening with the brand overall. Maybe because the Camacho name had become a little stale, we lack familiarity with the lines the company recently re-launched with new bands and in some cases new blends. This is one tasting we’re definitely looking forward to, so let’s just get to it! Here’s the HLC Camacho Diploma cigar review. The Cama...

AJ Fernandez Mayimbe Review | Highlight Cigars
http://www.highlightcigars.com/aj-fernandez-mayimbe-review
AJ Fernandez Mayimbe Review. October 24, 2013 By jason. First, it might be good to put this AJ Fernandez Mayimbe review in context. If you enjoy Nicaraguan cigars that are strong, dependable and most importantly cheap, you probably have a few AJ Fernandez sticks in your humidor. AJF brands like Diesel and Man O’ War are sold at Cigars International online properties where the cigar’s already-competitive prices are often discounted. Enthusiasts are now accustomed to seeing an array of AJ’s product s...

Leccia Black Review | Highlight Cigars
http://www.highlightcigars.com/leccia-black-review
October 10, 2013 By jason. Of the two new Leccia cigars, the Black is more aligned with its creator’s product history. While not exclusive to Leccia’s line, the fire-cured tobacco inside the Black 552 robusto sampled for this review provides that essential Leccia element some will call daring innovation while others cry gimmickry. The truth lies in the tasting. So let’s get on with the Leccia Black review! What’s most remarkable about the Leccia Black pre-light experience is the wood-smoke nose and...

http://www.highlightcigars.com/san-cristobal-revelation-review
San Cristobal Revelation Review. October 31, 2013 By jason. Ashton is behind some of the better DPG-sourced cigars on the market that don’t have a My Father or Tatuaje band. The newest of these releases is the San Cristobal Revelation reviewed below. A Sumatra-wrapped stick with Nica innards, the Revelation follows a formula enthusiasts acquainted with Pepin-made product will find familiar. The sumatra wrapper leaf shows even coloring and small veins on our slightly-pressed samples. The color and oil...

Padilla Studio Tobac Figurado. March 14, 2012 By jason. This tag-team effort from Padilla and Oliva's Studio Tobak specialty division is a limited edition release presented in a single format.

Joya de Nicaragua Rosalones Review. December 7, 2013 By jason. We made the decision to post a Joya de Nicaragua Rosalones review after watching Ben. Review the stick here. Previous to stumbling on that bit of SR web content, the HLC tasting committee (of one) knew nothing of this new-ish JdN blend. So what’s the story? Let just get on with the Joya de Nicaragua Rosalones review! Pre-light draws on the Rosalones produce a pure cigarette tobacco flavor. It’s a flavor that strongly resembles the s...The Joy...
