Aganorsa Leaf - Guardian Of The Farm Cerberus Toro
I am SCARED of this cigar
The Cerberus Toro is a nice cigar, although maybe a little too much for me, I can totally see its intended audiences—the nicotine vets. Construction is great, nice brown colored wrapper, and a cool band, however the guy who constructed my particular cigar seem to put way too much glue on my band, it strangles the cigar body so tight that it literally left a ring on the wrapper after I took the band off. Now before I get into the flavors, I want to talk about strength. It is the strongest by far, ranked just above the Cain Daytona, but the damage it’s done to me way overtakes the other brands. Normally, my body has two ways of reaction to a strong cigar. Head feels dizzy, or I get an urge to take a dump. The Cerberus caused the latter. The urge was so strong, I had to literally go take a number two mid-smoking, which has never happened in my previous cigar smoking journey. And the reaction was so robust, the guys at the neighboring stalls had to verbally confirm that I was okay. That’s why I couldn’t really focus on the flavor, the only thing I remember now is that it’s got this strong wheat flavor. Spicy, not sweet, and no other tastes.

Montecristo - 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua Toro
Full Stars
This is a cigar that you know will be good as soon as you see it and hold it in your hand. The look—perfect, the taste—complex, and the price: I’d say it’s reasonable and worth every penny. The construction of this cigar is almost perfect, the band is beautifully shiny, and the wrapper has this nice Matte texture that’s nice to touch. Flavors are carefully layered, with leather, coffee, chocolate, and this Cuban-like taste taking turns to hit your senses. It also produces a great volume of smoke, strength moderate to high. Great cigar, will buy more.

Arturo Fuente - Exquisitos
CRAZY
It’s small, sure, but don’t be fooled by the size, it is a flavor fest. Try it, and if anything goes wrong, you know it only costed a Big Mac.

El Rey Del Mundo - Cafe au Lait
Not Quite My Tempo
It’s got an okay start, but tasted funny in the middle part. It is densely packed for sure, however the whole thing just felt like as if I was smoking an extra large cigarette, mediocre at best, nothing special or memorable. Not worth the $4.7 price tag.

Arturo Fuente - Brevas Royal Maduro
The Bomb
The Brevas Royal Maduro is easily the best budget stick out there, with flavors that can humiliate some $10-$15 ones. It hits smooth—coffee, chocolate, oats are its main profile, and the head is the best bit, in my personal opinion. Definitely buying more.
