Name: Flor de Selva Maduro Grand Pressé

Country: Honduras

Shape: Box-Pressed

Size: (6 inches x 56)

Strength: Medium

If I had to choose between the Tempo and the Grand Pressé, I’d choose the latter. They are both great cigars, but the Grand Pressé is just a little bit better. Plus, it’s box-pressed.

Paired with a full-bodied Lebanese red wine, the cigar gave chocolaty and woody notes accompanied by hints of black tea, almond, and green pepper.

My conclusion is this: It’s good stuff…

Name: Casa Turrent 1880 Colorado Robusto

Country: Mexico

Shape: Parejo

Size: (5 1/4 inches x 55)

Strength: Medium

Woody notes accompanied by hints of dried figs and Himalayan salt. It’s a good cigar to smoke in the afternoon. Easy-going. Perfect with a cup of tea.

Name: Macanudo Inspirado Black Toro

Country: Dominican Republic

Shape: Parejo

Size: (5.5 inches x 54)

Strength: Full

A good-looking cigar that is peppery, sweet, and full-bodied.

Compared to most cigars out there today, the Macanudo Inspirado Black has certain characteristics and nuances that are quite uncommon. Its complexity makes you feel like you’re smoking an abstract work of art. Imagine smoking a Pollock or Kandinsky painting. That’s how it felt like. It wasn’t an average experience.
