Perfecto!

I'm excited about finally receiving my "Perfecto sampler"

I already like the size and shape and am looking forward to sampling the product.
More when I've smoked a few!

Explorer Robusto

A good little cigar!

I bought this cigar because I was looking for a smoke that I could complete on a break at work. At just 5 inches, this fits the bill for a 20-25 minute break.

As with all of the Thompson Explorers that I've tried, it is a good everyday smoke with a mild to medium flavor. My only complaint is that the band (and the additional "habano" band) are too heavily glued and make removal a little bit of a pain.

I'm guessing that these will continue to fill my humidor until I retire.

Your Rating: 4 stars
Headline: Great cigar

I received some VS Cabinet 99 toro cigars as a part of a sampler. I really like this cigar and in the Churchill size. This is my new standing order for my 250 Club!
I have generally enjoyed the Maduro wrapped cigars, but this Connecticut leaf wrap is really good. Great flavor. Great aroma. Whatever size cigar you prefer, order these Cabinet 99 cigars!

My Review of VICTOR SINCLAIR EXCLUSIVO SAMPLER 2-FER TORO

Originally submitted at Thompson Cigar

The Victor Sinclair Exclusivo Toro Sampler is a wonderful sampling of excellent mild to medium Toro cigars. These Victor Sinclair Exclusivo cigars display top shelf qualities that turn them into true humidor treasures. When they are offered as a 2-fer sampler, the result is an excellent assortment ...

Pros: Easy Light, Good draw, Even burn

Best Uses: Gift, Every day

Was this a gift?: No

In general I like the Victor Sinclair brand. I was surprised that I really enjoyed the Connecticut wrap Cabinet 99 as I am more of a Maduro fan. The only one that I wouldn't buy again was the Sun-cured.

This was a great value.

My Review of DON PEPIN GARCIA BLACK LABEL ROBUSTO HABANO

Originally submitted at Thompson Cigar

The beloved Black Label, a medium to full-bodied smoke that Cigar Insider awarded the prestigious 92 rating. The magical flavor of the Black Label leaves you finding Don Pepin Garcia's deft touch with tobacco entrancing.

5out of 5

Pros: Great Flavor, Undamaged Wrapper, Easy To Light, Well Constructed, Good Draw

Best Uses: Events, Special Occasions

Describe Yourself: Aspiring Aficionado

I received this as a part of a Premium sampler.
Easy light, easy draw, good strong ash, mild, easy flavor. Other than the cost being a little bit more than I care to spend for an everyday cigar (even with Thompson's great pricing), this would be a great everyday cigar.

I will definitely keep this one in mind for a future way to treat myself!

Pros: Good Flavor, Well constructed, Easy Light, Even burn

Best Uses: Every day

I really don't feel like I have experienced enough cigars to give a 5 star rating. I am more partial to darker wraps and bolder taste. However, this Connecticut wrap was exceptional. Good mild flavor to the end.
I bought it as a part of a sampler, but will buy it on its own in the future. I'll be selfish with the few that I have now. My friends will have to wait until I have more of them before I share them!

Victor Sinclair Sampler

I'm excited to have received a Victor Sinclair Toro sampler pack this week. I haven't had a chance to try any of them yet, but am looking forward to it. I am especially looking forward to trying the natural leaf wraps. I have always preferred the darker wraps, but really like the other VS cigars that I've had. I'm hoping that I like the lighter wraps that they put out.
