How do you spot a fake Cohiba


28th February 2006
The most often faked cigars are always those which are the most popular and expensive. Even in Havana, if bought in a reputable shop a box of Cohiba Esplendidos would coust you around $400.00 or a box of Cohiba Robustos around $250-300. One can safely sa… more »

Siglo II - Review by Monet


27th February 2006
I've just returned from a stay in The Bahamas with my good friends, Douglas and Nora Smith. Their hospitality was positively regal and the cuisine second only to the great feasts of Rome. However, the unquestionably highlight of this all-too-brief sojour… more »

Siglo III - Review by Monet


21st February 2006

Exquisitos - Review by Jason

An exquisite cigar! Gentle, smooth and full of flavour. The Exquisitos ranks among the finest cigars I have experienced. A pleasant, even draw which tastes wonderful all the way from the beginning to the end. A real pleasure! more »

Robustos - Review by Monet


17th February 2006
I've had a fair number of these over the last few years, though I've never actually paid for one and neither would I. Introduced in 1989, the Robusto enjoyed considerable popularity in the early '90s based predominantly, in my humble opinion, on the name… more »

Siglo I - Review by Monet


17th February 2006

Panatelas - Review by Monet


12th February 2006
Warning: This is not a cigar-smoker's cigar. That comment is not intended as a slur in any way, but the flavour is so mild and unchallenging that the Panatela should be categorised "For the non-smoker who's wife has just had a baby". more »

Esplendidos - Review by Jason


07th February 2006
It was alright, I mean an even burn but I wouldn't kick a $50 tart out of bed to get to it. The draw was shabby and dry, but perhaps that's because I'd left it in the car for a couple of days. I'll have another crack at the Esplendito if I get offered on… more »
