ACID 5

by GoodFellasCigars

Wrapper: Connecticut

Binder: Dominican Republic

Filler: Nicaraguan

Country: Dominican Republic

ACID 5 was released as limited line cigar to celebrate ACID”s fifth anniversary, made from Acid’s original stock of premium aged tobacco.  This aging treated the flavor very nice by making it incredible smooth and medium bodied but still packs a delicious amount of flavor. Like all acid cigars the ACID 5 is created with Drew Estate’s secret infusion process of infusing exotic oils to the leaf to create a one of a kind smoke. This process expertly crafted with the ACID 5 is apparent with its delicious sweet taste with a very slight hint of spice, a good amount of smoke and also not to be left out a velvety smooth Connecticut wrapper that completes the package. The draw is excellent, producing an abundant amount of beautiful smoke. The sweet spice flavors throughout do not waver except for the last inch and a half of the cigar where it becomes slightly harsh. Over all this is a very fine cigar that is highly recommended, especially if you like the ACID brand.

Nick’s Sticks Maduro

by GoodFellasCigars

Wrapper: Nicaraguan

Binder: Nicaraguan

Filler: Nicaraguan

Country: Nicaragua

If your looking for a great everyday, budget smoke look no further Nick’s Sticks will have you covered. Grown on the trusted farms of the Perdomo Family in the fertile Jalapa Valley of Nicaragua, these cigars have a dark, oily, triple-fermented Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper that encloses a Cuban-seed binder and filler. This is a medium to full-bodied cigar with an easy draw and an initial taste of pepper and an earthy flavor right after that. The first third of this cigar was a little harsh but, just before the second third of the cigar a hint of sweetness came on. By hitting the second third of the cigar the harshness went away then the sweetness became more clear with the flavors of cedar and chocolate came on still mixed with the earth and pepper flavor which made a small hint of a cinnamon. Finally the finish of this cigar overall stayed the same as the second third with the pepper dying down slightly but, not completely. Overall, Nick’s Sticks Maduro had a harsh start but it began to come together the farther I got down. This smoke has a great burn and a some what consistent  flavor throughout that I would recommended if you are on a budget and want a great everyday smoke.

New Cuban Edición Limitadas 2011

by GoodFellasCigars

Cuban cigar officials have just announced the names of this year’s trio of Cuban Edición Limitadas. Cuba broke the news at the start of the world’s largest cigar festival, Festival del Habano. The first of the three new cigars is The Cohiba 1966 Edición Limitada which is meant to celebrate Cohiba’s 45th anniversary. It has a 52 ring gauge and is 6.5 inches long which resembles the Behike BHK 52 and has a shape named cañonazo. Originally Cohibas were available to the Cuban government officials for their personal use and for diplomatic gifts. The last of the two highly anticipated cigars are the Ramon Allones Allones Extra and Hoyo de Monterrey Short Hoyo Piramides.  The Ramon is 5.5 inches long and a gauge of 44 and the Hoyo had a 46 ring figurado and is 5 1/3 inches long. These cigars are poised to to be the stars of the cigar world especially the Cohiba 1966 Edición Limitada. These cigars will be released later this year around the world except of course in the Untied States. If you happen to take a trip out of the US it will be worth your while to get your hands on one of these cigars when they are released.

Montecristo #1

by GoodFellasCigars

Wrapper: Connecticut

Binder: Dominican Repubulic

Filler: Dominican Repubulic

Country: Dominican Repubulic

The Montecristo #1 is a medium to full-bodied smoke that is made from a Connecticut Shade wrapper which surrounds a Dominican binder and filler. The initial draw of this stick was smooth with the burn really never having any problems all the way through. The first taste was mild, light, aged tobacco and leathery notes with a hint of salt. About half way through there were very light flavors of coffee and the finish had a light earthy tone to it. Overall this cigar was blandish but, don’t let that turn you off. This cigar is for more of a novice or a person that likes a smoke with a even burn, consistent flavor throughout that doesn’t throw them in a different direction, and that is more for the flavor of aged tobacco.
