Scotty Review!!!

Isla De Cuba Cigars



I have to admit,I was a skeptic. I did NOT think the Isla De Cuba cigars were going to be all that great. I LOVE it when I am proven wrong!


Construction: Very well built cigars. The natural Connecticut and the Connecticut broadleaf maduro are both beautifully wrapped. The maduro being the prettiest....all oily looking.


Draw: I have smoked a half dozen of these rascals and every one had an excellent draw. So much so as to make for a nice slow smoke.


Burn: Nice and even. The only time I needed an adjustment light was when I tended to power smoke it ( I couldn't help it...they are really good).


Taste: These sweethearts are smooooooooooth. They are medium strength with a nice
spice and black coffee taste and a touch of cedar. The maduro was just a notch higher in strength.


Aroma: Not overly pungent,but very pleasing to my shnozzola.


Finish: YES!! I told you I finished SIX of them! Actually the finish was not all that lengthy,but had a nice spicy linger to it.


All in all,I found it to be an extremely pleasant cigar for a mere $7.00 . I also think sitting in your favorite...(favourite for my Canadian friends)..humidor for a while will make these cigars go up a
good half smoke ring. On that note,I am giving it a PRE-sit-in-your-fav-humidor "O O O C" three and a half smoke rings!



That's all for now. Summer is coming,YAY! So as usual........

SCOTTY REVIEW: ASHTON AGED MADURO

Today the reviewed cigar is a cigar smokers "Bentley". The Ashton Aged Maduro!
It is truly one of the finest maduro's available today. I may be very fond of strong cigars,but every now and then a special occasion comes along,and Ashton's are absolutely special!


CONSTRUCTION: Almost a work of art. Aged Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco wrapped flawlessly,all dark and oily looking. The ONLY thing missing was fire....and I had no problem supplying that!


BURN: It's burn was exactly like it's construction. Flawless.No re-lights needed. A nice even burn from start to stop.


DRAW: It never ceases to amaze me how a great cigar can be packed tightly with all of that fine tobacco,yet the sensation you get is much like drawing on an empty tube. A swimming snorkel should have a draw this good!


TASTE: With all of the hard core strength cigars I smoke,I have to admit it took a minute to relate to the almost delicate complexities of this cigar. Mild to medium in strength,this cigar just has this remarkable,
slightly sweet,woody,spicy almost cocoa like flavor. It has relaxation qualities that would seem to make Valium a part of the caffeine family.


AROMA: This smoke is very gentle on the nose. I would recommend one of these in a situation that called for "odor discretion". Chances are good that even people that HATE cigar smoke wouldn't have much to complain about. It's just a nice natural aroma.......about as intrusive as the smell of a toasty wood fire on a cold day.


FINISH: Its finish is much like its start. Mild but complex.


There are only a few cigars out there that really deserve top ratings( I mean TOP too)!
The ASHTON AGED MADURO gets all FIVE!! "O O O O O" smoke rings.


Well,that's it for now......and as always...
SMOKE 'EM IF YA GOT 'EM!

P.S. I would like to give Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard a salute and a handshake for his donation of 1,500 cigars confiscated in a drug raid to our troops overseas!
A great job and a great gesture in my book,Sir!

Cigar Party Tonight!!!!

Isla de Cuba Event Tonight!!

4-7pm
Please join on us Tonight to be one of the first groups IN THE WORLD to sample the BRAND NEW ISLA DE CUBA!
The President Darryl Lieser will be here with us to introduce this new brand of cigars! Manufactured in Central America, each Isla de Cuba is hand made using a proprietary combination of wrappers, binders and fillers, which gives the cigars a unique, smooth creamy body when enjoyed. The initial line of products will include 5 sizes: Corona, Robusto, Toro, Belicoso and Churchill. Isla de Cuba will come in both a Connecticut Ecuadorian Wrapper - Classic, and a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro - Aged Maduro. The Isla de Cuba Classic cigars will be enjoyed for their smooth, rich body. The Isla de Cuba Aged Maduro cigars will feature the same smooth flavor, with a stronger more full-bodied taste. 2008 will see the launch of four highly-anticipated new product lines from Isla de Cuba Cigar, Inc., each very unique in the taste they deliver to the cigar connoisseur!
