CIGAR REVIEW - Gurkha Masterblender, a Blast From The Past
February 2012 - Posted by The Cigar Intelligence Agency
CIGAR REVIEW - This is not a novelty either but I really truly enjoy all productions from K. Hansotia. Gurkha's smokes are always well made, architecturally perfect vitolas and crafted with care coupled to a great packaging and a definitive tasteful package.
One of CIA's favorite brands and overall line.

CIGAR REVIEW - ROMEO Y JULIETA TUBO LIMITED EDITION IS AN ALTADIS SMOKE AND YOU CAN TELL
February 2012 - Posted by The Cigar Intelligence Agency
CIGAR REVIEW - It has a name, a look, a feel but not the taste or what was sold as a top of the line cigar (when I ear that from a Cigar Club owner I put my walls up) with astonishing flavors and virtues. Well I am bored as hell and I am not really into this type of hyped up cigars.
I thank a dear friend for the gift but I am really not behind this cigar due to its overpriced nature.
It looks great, it looks fancy, etc. But no thank you.

CIGAR REVIEW - BACK TO THE FUTURE WITH ALEC BRADLEY SCR
February 2012 - Posted by The Cigar Intelligence Agency
CIGAR REVIEW - This is NOT a novelty but I finally got a chance to take a look at SCR. It's a stronger smoke with more kick than most AB masterpieces. It's dry and goes straight to the bold flavor. It's not one of Alex Bradley's most complex and flavored smokes but it's fair game.

CIGAR REVIEW - ROLANDO REYES "CUBA ALIADOS" IS AN ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE
March 2012 - Posted by The Cigar Intelligence Agency
Regardless of what everybody says when a cigar is well manufactured and has a master behind it you can feel, smell and see the difference. This smoke is a complete architectural masterpiece from beginning to end. Draw is progressive and develops into a gigantic ash monster. Flavor wise this smoke is light, has wooden and fruit flavors yet remains subtle and discrete. Very pleasant cigar and we had a great time all together with a nice glass of Blue Label.
