CLE Asylum 13 Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Rennie
it's a wonderful thing its not trying to be a Cuban.
on pure constructive level its a light draw with a ferm build that dose not require more than normal attention for light draw cigar.
flavor well that all subjective so for a reference inset applicable as it is down to person taste but it has spice with some heat.
id say a nice rum and with soft drink of your taste.
well built and enjoyable everything else is personnel preference

Im fairly new to the cigar scene but i must say that these lovely little sticks are one of the best ive tried up to this point . Very smooth smoke easy going with a strong coffee taste coming in about half way in all in all a great stick for the price will be buying more for sure

Wish I'd left this in the humidor a little longer. Heard a lot of good things about this little cigar and keen to try it. Great start cut beautifully and lit perfectly square. After the first quarter though I started to have some issues. A lot of heat in the middle and a uneven burn causing a couple of re lights!! It had a great flavour and definite complexity with some rich woody spice coming through. Will love to buy a couple more and leave them to mature a little.

A really delicious short smoke, the best small cigar I've ever tasted. The quality is always good, good construction, even burn, excellent draw and great rich aromas. A rich and powerful little fire cracker of a cigar...it has become a firm favourite of mine for a quick 15 minute quality smoke.

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
