Bolivar Tubos No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
The Bolívar No.2 Tubos was a cigar I approached with a mix of excitement and caution, since the brand has a reputation for being fuller-bodied and more intense than some of the Cubans I’ve tried so far. Opening the tubo, I was greeted with that distinct Cuban aroma—earthy, woody, and a little sweet. The construction was excellent, with a solid feel and no soft spots. On the cold draw, I picked up subtle notes of hay and cedar, with just a hint of spice.
Once lit, the cigar wasted no time in showing character. The first third delivered rich, earthy flavors, backed by a peppery spice that tingled on the tongue. It wasn’t overpowering, but it definitely had more bite than, say, a Romeo y Julieta No.2. The smoke was thick and aromatic, with hints of leather and roasted coffee coming through as it developed. The draw was smooth, and the burn stayed mostly even throughout, needing only a small correction near the middle.
By the halfway point, the cigar settled into a satisfying balance of wood, cocoa, and spice, with a touch of sweetness keeping things interesting. Toward the final t

After much research and consideration, I decided to make the Adorini Chianti Deluxe my very first humidor purchase, and I’m glad to say the experience has been a rewarding one. Right out of the box, the presentation was impressive—well-built, elegant, and complete with everything I needed to get started. It came with a hygrometer, humidifier cap with fluid, and even an additional hygrometer, which I appreciated.
When seasoning, I used a Boveda seasoning pack along with a Boveda pack holder for the back of the humidor, which made the process very straightforward. To ensure accuracy, I calibrated the provided analogue hygrometer and cross-checked it against a calibrated Govee Bluetooth hygrometer. The analogue reading matched closely with the digital, giving me confidence in its reliability. Since then, both humidity and temperature have remained consistent, which has reassured me as a beginner.
In terms of capacity, I’ve found it comfortably fits around 50 robusto-sized cigars, and it could hold more if you lean toward smaller formats. The Spanish cedar interior feels solid and

This was a beautiful cigar. Very light on the palate at first, with an increasing dark chocolate taste as it went on. It usually takes me 50 to 60 minutes to smoke a Robusto. It took me 45 minutes to smoke this one down to the nub, testament to how much I enjoyed it! I bought a pack of three and I am very much looking forward to smoking the other two.

I've been having issues with some of these when first lighting the inside is burning way to fast compared from the outside by the time the outer layers are burning the middle has burnt down about a centimetre. Also because the middle is burning so fast I've been getting pin holes burn through the outer layer that has ruined the draw. But it has been pretty random I've smoked about half the box and three or four have been bad but the rest are good. So be prepared to be a bit disappointed with these

The Backwoods Authentic (Light Brown) Cigars - Pack of 5 are a cracking little pack to keep on hand. Each cigar lasts me around 20 - 25 minutes, and they’ve got that trademark sweet, aromatic flavour that makes them stand out. They’re not something I’d smoke every day, but as an occasional treat they really hit the spot.
For the price, they’re excellent value, and I always make sure I’ve got a pack in. They’re especially good for social nights, mates round for shooting some pool or gaming, and even the non smokers end up enjoying one. They’ve got that easy going, sweet taste that makes them approachable for just about anyone. A casual, fun cigar that’s well worth keeping stocked.
