Flor De Oliva Churchill Cigar - Cabinet of 25 by Richard

The Flor de Oliva was a pleasant surprise, considering it’s one of the more budget-friendly cigars I’ve come across. Right away, it delivered a nice balance of flavors: earthy, slightly sweet, with touches of cedar and nuts. The construction wasn’t flawless—there were a couple of uneven burn issues—but overall it smoked much better than I expected at this price. The draw was easy, producing plenty of smoke, which made it enjoyable to puff on. About halfway through, I noticed a more pronounced sweetness, almost like caramel, mixed with a bit of spice. It’s not overly complex, but it doesn’t feel boring either. The strength is medium, making it approachable for someone like me still learning what I like. Toward the end, it picked up a little more body, with more wood and spice, though it never got harsh. This cigar feels like a great daily option—affordable enough not to worry about, but flavorful enough to keep you interested. It’s not in the same league as some of the premium cigars I’ve tried, but it definitely punches above its weight. Rating: 7/10

Room 101 Farce Original Toro Cigar - Box of 20 by Richard

Room 101 Farce was definitely one of the more unique smokes I’ve had as a beginner. It’s marketed as a complex, medium-to-full-bodied blend, and that complexity really came through. On the first few puffs, I got this interesting mix of earth, pepper, and a subtle sweetness, almost like dried fruit. The flavors shifted quite a bit as it went along, which kept me on my toes. At times, there was cocoa and espresso; other times, more wood and spice. The construction was solid, though I did need one touch-up on the burn. The draw was easy, and the smoke output was thick and satisfying. I can see why people say this cigar has layers—it felt like it kept evolving, which was exciting but also a little challenging for someone new like me. It’s definitely not a one-note cigar, and I think that makes it worth trying if you want to push your palate. The strength built toward the end, with more pepper and richness, but it never got overwhelming. Overall, I enjoyed it, though I’d say it’s better suited for when you’re in the mood to pay attention.
