Name: AJ Fernandez New World Navegante Robusto

Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Box-Pressed

Size: Robusto (5 1/2 inches x 55)

Strength: Full

A masterfully crafted, good-looking, box-pressed, Nicaraguan cigar. Out of a friend’s humidor. I knew it was going to be something special even before I took it out of the cellophane. It had a perfect draw, and it produced a lot of thick, creamy smoke. I paired it with whisky after a heavy meal and got notes of dark chocolate, earth, espresso, prunes, and wood.

It was a good night filled with laughter, drinks, great conversations, and clouds of excellent smoke.

Name: Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R Vitola Fifty-Four

Country: Dominican Republic

Shape: Parejo

Size: (6 1/2 inches x 54)

Strength: Medium to Full

A good smoke. Nothing to complain about here. This isn’t the best Arturo Fuente cigar that I’ve smoked, but it was a good one nonetheless.

I smoked it in the lounge and paired it with an espresso. I got notes of Crème Brûlée, caramel, wood, earth, and subtle hints of pepper.

The BOTL I was with smoked the same cigar, which, of course, made the experience more enjoyable.

Name: Mosh Puma

Country: Dominican Republic

Shape: Torpedo

Size: (5 7/8 inches x 55)

Strength: Mild

This is the second Mosh cigar that I try, and, if I have to be honest, I must say that the Puma is simply average. I liked the Gorilla better, but just by a little bit.

The Puma is an affordable cigar. It’s well-constructed, but it’s a little too mild for me and lacks complexity. It’s a cigar to be paired with lagers and pilseners. And that’s what I did.

I smoked it on the terrace while starting the charcoal grill.

It burned evenly and produced fine smoke.

Will I give this cigar a high rating? No.
Will I smoke it again? Why not. It’s not that bad.
