Smoked one of these on the back deck after grilling tri-tip last Saturday. The smoke pairs with rare beef better than any cigar I've tried. Coffee bean and dark chocolate, no harshness, and the coron…

From the critics

Dense earth and caramel meet hazelnut midnotes and warm cinnamon and clove. A malty, lightly grape-like sweetness lengthens the finish in a slim format that concentrates flavor.

Felt like the brand's love letter to itself, and the patient drinker is rewarded. Smooth, complex, generous on the mid-palate, with a sweetness in the third that wants company. A Tawny Port answered…

The first draws hit with concentrated intensity through the narrow foot, then the smoke opens and sweetens. Malted grain, creamy brewed coffee, and cocoa build progressively and read fuller than many cigars from the sam…

Aladino 85 Aniversario Reserva Toro is a lounge-friendly stick — approachable, well made, and consistent with what I'd read from the critics.

— Janet Bowers
From the critics

Comforting on the palate with marzipan-like nut sweetness and warm baking spice that carry into a long finish reminiscent of fresh cookies. The body reads medium and approachable without harsh edges.

Spent an evening with the La Aroma de Cuba Robusto. Draw and burn were both clean; flavor was in the ballpark of what the critic write-ups promised.

— Big Hank Morrison
From the critics

Full-flavored and chewy around a broadleaf-forward core: toasted peanut and chestnut lead, with licorice and a flinty mineral note adding contrast. The smoke stays dense from foot to nub.

The Rocky Patel Emerald Robusto impressed on construction. Flavor was a touch lighter than I expected from the scores but still enjoyable.

— Diana Reinholz
From the critics

Medium-plus in weight between mild and powerhouse: ground coffee, hickory, and soft leather trade places, with black pepper pinching the edges. The box-pressed format channels smoke in a cool, even ribbon.

Herf night pick: Angel's Share Reserva d'Chateau. Pepper up front, then cocoa and cedar. I'd grab another.

— Ethan Folger
From the critics

Softer than the flagship line: licorice, warm wood, and baking spice lead, leather hums underneath, and honey with a faint red-pepper prickle reminds you the blend still has spine.
