Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single
by Staff
This small cigar measuring 4” length and 46 ring gauge is, in my opinion a fantastic short full bodied cigar. Absolutely perfect for those short breaks during a cold winter.
In the first part you can find lots of strong leathery notes. The smooth and creamy full bodied taste has hints of spicy black pepper.
The second part is much milder in comparison to first. More creamy with lots of woody notes and hints of sweet, but full flavoured white pepper.
In the third part the strength comes back with fiery black pepper and hints of distinctive ginger. Creamy and spicy, a lovely combination.
This cigar is getting very popular in these cold days. A fresh ginger tea or a slightly peated Stalla Dhu Islay whisky is perfect to enhance the spicy flavours. Or, you could pair it with a lovely sweet Stalla Dhu Speyside for a more balanced experience.

Last week I sampled the new Juan Lopez Superba RE16. Today I wanted to make a nice review of the regular production Juan Lopez No 2.
Juan Lopez No 2 is in my opinion one of the best Constructed Havanas. It has a lovely wrapper. (I Love them when they come with a dark wrapper) The construction in flavour is amazing.
The first part of this robusto 124mm x 50 is extremely woody (The regional edition one smells like nuts, this one smells sweet and woody) the first flavours are extremely lovely wood, and very sweet brown sugar notes.
The second part is very mellow on my palate, I can recognise a few small notes of almonds.
The third part is getting much more full bodied. Flavours are becoming very rich in sweet notes, some smooth white pepper notes, a bit spicy on my palate but just a little.
The draw is lovely. I cannot find any problems in this cigar. Wonderful smoke.
I would like to recommend trying this cigar with our two Stalla Dhu whiskies, if you like to combine flavours. For the first sweet part of the cigar, try our Stalla Dhu Islay; you can combine the sweetnes

Not a bad smoke was expecting a bit more after reading the reviews, didn't really live up to the star ratings that it has been getting, however the Draw was ok and ash stacked up nicley but felt the flavour was a bit lacking and not as smooth as i would like Not really my kind of smoke.

Partagas Shorts Cigar - 1 Single
by Staff
Partagas Short 110mm x 42 in comparisons with the other Partagas is more Medium strength, perfect to smoke it after work in winter with a nice expresso.
The first part of the cigar since the beginning I can fell lots of earth flavours, very woody and sweet.
The second part is more sweet and very leathery.
The third part is getting a bit stronger with black pepper notes with tiny spicy notes on the palate.
Is a nice 20-25 minutes smoke during this cold evening and perfect to be relaxed after work.

Bought this as my first humidor. Build quality is good for the price you pay. Looks nice on my cabinet. Plenty of space for all those cigars.
Fully recommend using 2 Boveda 84% Seasoning Packs to season, and then using 2 Boveda 72% Packs for maintaining humidity.
Definitely worth upgrading for the better digital Hygrometer.
Overall really pleased with this, but sure in time my collection will grow and I will require a bigger humidor.
Happy Herfing!
