Review:
The España line is a favorite of mine from Quesada. They are unique in flavor and have a luring quality in the aroma. Construction is great, they burn well and smoke without effort. They have a lot of flavor and a mild-medium body. These are great in the morning or when I don\'t want something heavy on the palate but still want a cigar with a lot of flavor that isn\'t overly complex. The robusto size is just a classic. I\'d be happy to light this up at any time. Room101 LTD Namakubi

This is a fantastic short cigar that offers a ton of flavor and a unique personality. I\'ve had some of the original Roxxos for years now and they are still smoking incredibly well. Smokes without any effort at all and packs a well-rounded experience in such a small size. Sweet, spicy, medium body with a full aroma. J.C. Newman Cigar Co. Brick House Maduro

The Brick House maduro is a great cigar, especially for the money. It\'s loaded with flavor and character. It\'s fairly complex with noticeable changes in the aroma and taste as the cigar was smoked. IT had sweet and spicy notes with nuts and woody traits. It gradually built to a medium-full, full body. Great overall construction and a great value cigar. L’Atelier Imports Surrogates

For anyone that likes bold and spicy cigars, this is a great choice. It offers a lot of peppery spice in the nose, aroma and taste. This one is full bodied and will definitely leave a lasting impression that may not be ideal for a novice but appreciated by a more experienced palate. The aroma is rich and full, which matches the mouthfeel and overall character of this cigar. Black Label Trading Co. Santa Muerte

I really enjoyed this cigar as soon as I tried it. The pre-light smell was sweet and rich. The cigar felt solid in the fingers and had an effortless draw. It offered a lot of intriguing flavors and complexity. A spiciness dominated the mouth feel, which became creamier as the cigar was enjoyed. It went from a dominating spicy earthiness and revealed more sweet, nutty, cracker like notes as the cigar burned down. The body was present and well balanced with the flavor profile of the cigar. Medium-full overall with a lot of personality. Nat Sherman Sterling

The Nat Sherman Sterling is one of my go-to cigars when I want to sit down and appreciate a milder cigar. The robusto is a classic size, however the lancero is my favorite in this blend. The Sterling line is a bit pricey but can easily stand next to other mild cigars that are in the same price category. The Sterling line offers more of a earthy nuttiness, cocoa, as well as black and white pepper notes. They are well made with some complexity, balance and finesse. You can get a rich flavorful experience without the punch of a full bodied cigar. Padrón Cigars Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series

The 64s are no doubt an all time classic. They are just beautiful through and through from appearance to flavor to burn. Packed with full flavors and a medium-full body, these cigars deliver a well-rounded, full experience. Big earthy notes with cocoa and spices in the flavor and aroma. The intensity of the cigar builds but it is fairly consistent from beginning to end. Rich and hardy spicy character overall with a refined quality. Absolutely effortless to enjoy.

I loved this cigar from the first puff. It\'s an extra long lancero shaped cigar. I personally like smaller ring gauges, however, this cigar really stands out to me because of it\'s unique flavor profile and taste. The aroma has spice characteristics such as cinnamon, white pepper and nutmeg, with more nuts and cracker, toast-like notes coming through in the aroma.

These cigars have a distinct personality. They are rich in flavor and have great balance. Construction is top notch without any issues or effort needed. All P.G. cigars have a good amount of actual age to them. Meaning they were rolled and then aged for years. They are full of bright floral notes and have a nice, subtle spiciness and some sweet tones in the full aroma.

I can appreciate cigars that have floral like notes in the aroma and this one definitely had it. I\'d recommend it to anyone who appreciates that characteristic or even to lighter bodied fans that want a full flavored, unique experience. It was sweet, spicy and incredibly aromatic. The finish of each puff had a lingering sweet taste. The floral tones, black pepper spices and sweetness of this cigar always makes it stand out to me. This cigar ages incredibly as well.

As it\'s says above - This was a complex, full-bodied, full flavored cigar that left a lasting impression. The full character of this cigar set in quick and didn\'t let up in the flavor, aroma or body department. It had a lot of nuances, spices, flavors and aromas that developed as it was smoked.

Ever since the first time I tried a cigar from the Cabaiguan Guapos line, I\'ve been a fan. Just so many nuances in the flavor with sweet and spicy characteristics. The flavor and aromas dance all over the taste buds keeping you intrigued for the duration of the cigar. Flavors develop as the cigar is smoked and the body rounds out at a solid medium. Great overall construction, this is a cigar that has smoked well time and time again. J.C. Newman Cigar Co. Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino

An easy going mild cigar through and though with delicate flavors and a creamy texture. A great choice for those who like a mild body and lower strength in their cigars. These tubes are great to have and easy to share. Mombacho Cigars Tierra Volcán

This is a lighter bodied cigar with a pleasant, full aroma and slightly sweet tone. Great construction and effortless burn. Easy enough for a newbie, flavorful enough for those who just appreciate milder cigars with a great aroma. La Aurora Cameroon 1903

Just an overall well-made cigar that is packed with flavor and some kick. It has a nice spicy character but never overwhelmed the palate. I\'ve been able to age some of these and they do great with some time in the humidor. My Father Cigars La Dueña

I don\'t get around to enjoying milder cigars too often but this is one I kept reaching for when I was in the mood. There was a good amount of spicy traits in the flavor with a great smelling aroma that kept my attention. Dense and creamy body with milder strength. It had a smooth and easy draw and great burn.
