El Rey Del Mundo - Natural Rectangulares
橘子皮苦涩|Bitter & astringent orange peel
烟气少 整体清淡 前面很淡的木头味 这种木头味还有一种酸腐陈年的味道 像是弗吉尼亚版本的白利群 有点橘子皮苦味 ,中间就是橘子皮涩味 橘皮精油苦味,舌头又干又涩,抽不到标放弃了,不建议 Low smoke, very mild. Starts with a faint, sour-aged woody note—like a Virginia-blend version of 'White Liqun.' Tastes a bit like bitter orange peel. Mid-way, it gets even more bitter and astringent, making my tongue feel dry. Couldn't find any redeeming qualities, so I'm giving up. Not recommended

El Rey Del Mundo - Oscuro Robusto Largo
食之无味弃之可惜
开头有一点甜,很快变为深坚果味,坚果越来越黑暗,会出现一些说不明白但是不好抽的味道,不过这些味道都很淡,烟气从头到尾都很空洞无味,寡淡的同时又有恶心的感觉,属于是清淡口和重口两头不讨好,不推荐 It kicks off sweet but turns into a heavy, dark nuttiness. As you progress, you get some weird, funky off-notes—they're faint, but definitely not good. The smoke itself feels hollow and lifeless from start to finish. It fails to cater to either the mild-smoke crowd or the full-bodied crowd. It's a 'no' from m

Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening

新草枫糖甜,陈年之后有红枣,酸奶,蜂蜜的丰富气息,烟气柔顺,劲大 When fresh, it has a prominent maple syrup sweetness. With proper aging, it develops a complex profile—notes of red dates, yogurt, and honey. The smoke is incredibly smooth, yet packs a strong punch.

Daughters & Ryan - Three Sails
便宜但是一般|affordable but nothing special
虽然这是一种手卷烟丝 但是我认为用斗抽会好一点 卷烟只会抽到淡淡的橘子皮味和一点点苦 塞烟斗里面起码还能柔顺一点 对标三十块钱的烤烟水平吧 和贵州陈皮爆珠接近 Although it's marketed as rolling tobacco, I find it smokes much better in a pipe. When rolled as cigarettes, it just tastes like faint orange peel with a hint of bitterness. In a pipe, however, it’s noticeably smoother. I’d rate it on par with a 30-yuan pack of flue-cured cigarettes, somewhat similar to the Guizhou 'Chenpi' (aged tangerine peel) capsule cigarettes.

El Rey Del Mundo - Natural Reserva Salado
甜坚果味 | Sweet & nutty
味道上没什么复杂的 淡甜和坚果 后面坚果变浓 有一点焦油味 但是整体还是很好抽的 推荐 就是茄衣太薄 容易破 品相一般 The flavor profile is pretty linear: light sweetness with a nutty core that builds up as you go. There’s a hint of tar, but it’s still a very pleasant smoke. The only downsides are the thin wrapper that’s prone to cracking and the mediocre construction

My Father - La Gran Oferta Lancero
老爹经典风味
黑胡椒感 木味 坚果味 混合,中间胡椒感降低,烟气变醇一点,后面焦油加剧,强度中上,不差,但是也算不上特别香,适合喜欢浓郁大烟雾的 A blend of black pepper, woody, and nutty notes. The peppery sensation subsides in the middle, while the smoke becomes slightly mellower. Towards the end, the tar intensity increases. The overall strength is medium-to-full. It’s decent, though not particularly aromatic; it suits those who prefer a bold, full-bodied smoke.

Zino - Nicaragua Toro
玉米甜
烟气简单柔和干净,很清淡,主要是清甜和很淡的坚果,中段坚果变浓郁,后面出现了苦杏仁味,但是甜感一直在线,苦甜组合还是可以抽的,适合清淡口,但是劲小 The smoke is clean and simple, very light. It starts off with a subtle sweetness and a hint of nuttiness. By the second third, the nutty notes become more pronounced, then it shifts into a bitter almond profile toward the end. However, the sweetness stays present throughout, making that bitter-sweet balance actually quite enjoyable. It’s perfect for those who prefer a milder profile, but it’s definitely on the weaker side in terms of strength.

Caldwell Cigar Company - Yellow Cake 2026 Robusto
低于预期
开头一厘米是香甜和油脂感,一度有奶油蛋糕的错觉,后面就是苦杏仁味了,茄衣特别苦,只是不辣并且油脂感还在线所以还能继续抽,综合价格拉完了 The first centimeter is all sweet and oily, I even got a fleeting illusion of creamy cake. But after that, it just turns into bitter almond. The wrapper is incredibly bitter; it’s just that it’s not harsh and the oils are still there, so I’m pushing through. Overall, considering the price, it’s a total letdown.

Arturo Fuente - Brevas Royal Maduro
不适合清淡嘴
主要是甜,一点点坚果,和马杜罗的暗黑厚重香料味,有点像是往酱油里面放糖,味道不错,但是很重口 I’m getting a lot of sweetness, a hint of nuttiness, and that dark, heavy Maduro spice. It’s almost like soy sauce mixed with sugar—really good, but definitely a palate-wrecker.

Oliva - Serie V Lancero
拉完了
我不知道你们是怎么抽出来这些味道的,我只能抽出来苦味和烟草辣味,奥利瓦质量连年下降,有这个钱抽点老爹茅不行吗,起码不苦 I don’t know how you guys are pulling those flavor notes out of this. All I get is bitterness and pepper. Oliva's quality has been going downhill for years. Why spend money on this when you could smoke a My Father instead? At least it’s not bitter.

Tatuaje - Series P Nicaragua Robusto
和揽三一个味
感觉自己在抽低配揽三 胡椒是有的 后面的皮革也是有的 中间好抽一点点 It feels like I'm smoking a 'budget' version of the Range Rover 3. The pepper is definitely there, and so is that leathery note later on. It’s only really enjoyable in the middle section

My Father - My Father Blue Robusto
老爹一如既往的辣
烟雾量很大 前段是胡椒 可可 木味的综合 ,到中间胡椒变少 ,后面变成纯净的木味 ,前段太辣了,也就中后段好抽 味道其实还行 考虑到价格 有更多其他选择 It produces a lot of smoke. It starts off with a mix of pepper, cocoa, and wood, then shifts to a clean woody taste as the pepper dies down. It’s too harsh at the start, though—only the middle and final stages are enjoyable. The flavor is fine overall, but you can definitely find better alternatives for the price.

Aganorsa Leaf - Guardian Of The Farm Cerberus Lonsdale
强度很高 但是没有吹的那好 | ultimately overrated
尼古丁强度非常高 前段基本把我劝退了 舌头非常麻 很容易晕 但是风味上没有什么特别的 坚果味而已 后面还会出现不好的皮革塑料味 考虑到价格也不高 其实是很值得一试的 重口的人更适合 Very high nicotine hit—too intense for me at first. It made my tongue numb and gave me a buzz almost immediately. The flavor is quite plain, mostly nutty, with some off-putting leathery and plastic notes appearing later. Considering the affordable price, it’s worth a shot, though it’s definitely better suited for those who enjoy a stronger kick.

Curivari - Buenaventura Picadores Fumas 44
巨难抽
苦辣烟草味 抽不下去

Tatuaje - Reserva Petite Cazadores
太堵了
味是好味 甜 坚果 后面变成苦味 但是不是很难受的苦 就是堵得不冒烟

Curivari - El Gran Rey Prominente
巧克力
空吸有巧克力味 前段是浓郁的黑巧克力 油脂感 和泥土 中间是可可 略甜 有那么一点古巴的意思 可惜后面拉垮了 出现了木味 烧焦味 杂味 Cold draw gives a touch of chocolate. Starts off strong with dark chocolate, oily mouthfeel, and earth. The mid-section is cocoa-forward and slightly sweet, almost Cuban-esque. Sadly, it tanks in the final third, bringing out woody, burnt, and funky notes

Tatuaje - El Triunfador Favoritos
甜Sweet
甜 坚果 后面有一点杂气和木味 考虑价格 非常不错 Sweet and nutty, with a touch of funk and woody notes. Considering the price, it’s really quite good.

CAO - Moontrance Tubo
我不知道哪来的奶味
闻起来有严重的调味香草香精气息和轻微的发酵味,过鼻是香草味,吃味有蔗糖甜,坚果,越到后面甜味越少,苦杏仁味加重,最后两厘米出现皮革,表现还可以,但是考虑到调味雪茄和价格,并不推荐。并且很小很堵。 Smells strongly of artificial vanilla with a slight fermented scent. The nose is purely vanilla. Flavor-wise, it starts sweet like cane sugar with some nuttiness, but gets less sweet and more bitter-almond toward the end. Leather kicks in for the last two centimeters. It’s an okay smoke, but for a flavored cigar at this price, it’s not worth it. Also, it’s tiny and the draw is extremely tight.

Tabac de la Semois - Arduinna
过鼻有奇怪的甜巧克力味道
一支比利时小雪茄 做了预开口 前段有甜木头味道 中间略显无聊 甜味变少 可可味变多 后面甜味消失 保持可可味道和木头味道 不过烟气并不辣 还能抽 最后味道塌缩 出现皮革味道 最令人奇怪的是 这支雪茄的二手烟有甜腻的巧克力风味若隐若现 I smoked this pre-cut Belgian cigarillo. It started off with some nice sweet woody notes, though the middle was a bit dull—the sweetness dialed back and the cocoa took over. By the end, the sweetness was gone, leaving just cocoa and wood, but at least the smoke wasn't harsh at all. It got a bit messy at the very end, taking on a leathery taste. The strangest part? The room note was surprisingly sweet, with a distinct, sugary chocolate aroma wafting through the air

Arturo Fuente - Exquisitos
短小精悍
前段是淡的坚果木头味 烟气干净 略微甜 中段是浓郁的木头味 过鼻有微弱的温暖胡椒 和烤糊了的豆子味道 尾段有坚果烤焦了的苦味 木头受潮的霉味 是焦油堆积的后果 不难抽 整体像黄鹤楼升级版 抽吸时间四十分钟 能给到七刀的烟气水平 The initial draw offers a mellow profile of nuts and cedar, with a clean smoke and a subtle sweetness. Moving into the mid-palate, the woodiness intensifies, accompanied by a faint hint of pepper on the retrohale. The finish brings a slight char-like bitterness of roasted nuts, followed by a damp, musty wood note—a clear indication of tar buildup. Overall, it’s not an unpleasant smoke; it feels like an upgraded version of Huanghelou, delivering a smoking experience on par with a $7 stick
