Name: Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Espressivo
Country: Nicaragua
Shape: Box-Pressed
Size: (5 inches x 50)
Strength: Medium to Full

The Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Espressivo burned evenly and, for its size, produced a generous amount of smoke. It had a firm draw, and it lasted for about 60 minutes.

I paired the first third with espresso and sparkling water, the second third with a glass of Laphroaig Quarter Cask, and the final third with a glass of Port Charlotte 10. All pairings were successful.

It’s a nice cigar to have in one’s smoking repertoire.

Name: Partagas Petit Coronas Especiales
Country: Cuba
Shape: Parejo
Size: (5 1/8 inches x 42)
Strength: Medium

A medium-bodied, casual cigar like the Super Partagas that I enjoy. However, this one is smaller, and it only lasts for about 30 minutes. This makes it, in my opinion, more of a morning cigar. It’s a simple but beautiful smoke that goes well with coffee. I’d smoke it while driving, while running errands on Saturday morning, or after a heavy breakfast in a foreign country. I like to pair it with American coffee, but one can also pair it with a nice cappuccino.

Name: CAO Flathead V660 Carb
Country: Nicaragua
Shape: Box-Pressed
Size: Double Toro, Gordo (6 inches x 60)
Strength: Full

A big cigar, so big that its band reminds me of a flat-nosed truck.

Since it was my first time smoking it, I paired it with espresso and sparkling water, which allowed me to focus on what the cigar had to offer.

The Flathead V660 Carb is a full-strength cigar that should be kept out of beginners’ reach. With all due respect, they might not be able to handle it.

I smoked it in 90 minutes and loved everything about it.

Great construction. Even burn. Generous smoke. Beautiful ash. Bold notes.

Can’t wait to smoke another one soon.
