CIGAR REVIEW - CHAVON WILL FILL YOU UP WITH SMOKE!
Tonight one of my latest acquisitions...
Chavon Dominican / Sun Grown Corona.
A very dark wrap as its name says it.
Dark wrap and short cigar yet very smooth and slightly spicy. Has a kick from the first puff and emanates a scent of wooden canella. Very interesting smoke, presentation and wrap quality are good.
Some major veins are visible but does not affect taste as much as other high vein cigars.

CIGAR REVIEW - ILLUMINATI CRUSADE NOT FUNCTIONAL (STOP THE HOLLY WAR)!
CIGAR REVIEW - I received this Illuminati maduro cigar ( Jack from Illuminati just emailed us and told us no maduro. I went on to match the ring and it's a medium bodied Crusade smoke) as a sample. The rep or owner (who ever you are) told me how close he was with Rocky Patel and how these cigars where from the same lines...
Well they are not. The smoking was difficult and had to over-punch the smoke to get draw. The cigar was very strong upfront and never took an ascending route like most cigars. It was sour and no wood flavors to it.
This smokes are not impressive whatsoever to us and we would like to know your opinion. I will have to smoke again and rewrite to make sure but first try was NOT good.

Regarding our reviews, our state of mind, our opinion and bluff in this industry....
YES, there is HYPE, there is lies, there is insiders publishing good reviews for others and there is ALSO --- HARD WORKING PEOPLE who really deserve a THANK YOU FOR GREAT SMOKES! There is also people like my guys and I who don't really care about pleasing this guy or that guy...
This message is our way to tell certain people on Facebook to grow up.
Some are trying to sell us with strange ideas... Some told us that we are biased, that rating cigars is subjective, that you CAN NOT down rate a cigar ( YES I CAN ) ( AND I HAVE A HUGE LIST OF BAD SMOKES COMING ).
I have followed ALEC BRADLEY for a few years now. I have recommended and shared thoughts about their cigars for many years as well.
I have had talks with brand owners & direct competitors of AB who thought they were a joke. I always stood by my position. I always thought they produced great cigars and that they were really freaking tasty!
People often laughed at me. Some told me they are NOT real cigar makers. Others told me you can't judge a brand around 1 cigar.
So today I am very happy to see that NOT only my co-writers & I were right but that this great brand and team is getting a WIN on everybody else....
Congratulations!
And to all those people who read us or care about integrity, well I stand behind ALEC BRADLEY as long as their Cigars are innovative and taste great.
CIA.
