La Aroma Del Caribe El Jefe Cigar at Fidel Cigar lounge in Antelias, Lebanon.

Have a Cigar: La Aroma Del Caribe Base Line El Jefe

Name: La Aroma Del Caribe Base Line El Jefe

Country: Nicaragua

Size: (7 inches x 58)

Strength: Medium to Full

A big cigar for a big night. My wife and I had friends visiting Lebanon, so we met at one of our favorite lounges. I wanted to smoke something that would last me close to a couple of hours, and that’s how I picked El Jefe.

I paired it with a glass of Havana Club Cuban Barrel Proof, and then I switched to a nice Gin and tonic.

El Jefe burned evenly and produced a lot of smoke. Strength-wise, it was somewhere between medium and full. I loved its aroma, and I could taste a harmony of notes, including medium-roast coffee, cedar, leather, earth, caramel, and walnut.

Will I ever light one of these up again? I guess I will.

Smoking a My Father The Judge cigar.

Have a Cigar: My Father The Judge Toro

Name: My Father The Judge

Country: Nicaragua

Size: Toro (6 inches x 56)

Strength: Medium to Full

Excellent. I really enjoyed smoking My Father The Judge. Great construction, great draw, and an even burn all the way. I paired the first half with a 12-year-old Scotch and the second half with a bourbon. I was satisfied with my choices.

Mosh Gorilla Toro at Mareva Beirut

Have a Cigar: Mosh Gorilla

Name: Mosh Gorilla

Country: Dominican Republic

Shape: Parejo

Size: Toro (5 9/10 inches x 56)

Strength: Medium to Full

Affordable, undemanding, fun. I liked the Gorilla branding. But the construction wasn’t perfect.

Although I did not love this cigar, I had a fun experience smoking it. Overall, I’d say it was okay, and I wouldn’t mind smoking it again.

I paired this one with espresso and sparkling water and smoked it until there was nothing left of it.
