Medium-Full Strength Cigar Reviews

My Father La Opulencia Toro – Bury the Leaf Every now and then you pull a cigar out of the humidor that feels less like “another stick to burn” and more like a standing appointment you set with yourself and forgot about. The My Father La Opulencia Toro was one of those. This one showed…
-
Perdomo Habano Maduro Toro – Bury the Leaf There are a lot of Maduros out there that look like midnight and smoke like punishment. The Perdomo Habano Maduro Toro isn’t one of them. This is a bourbon‑barrel‑kissed Maduro that shows up with toasted oak, coffee, and chocolate, then settles into a steady, everyman kind of…
-
My Father Blue vs. My Father La Lealtad – Bury the Leaf Some cigars are just cigars. Others walk into the humidor already carrying a storyline. My Father’s Honduran duo—Blue and La Lealtad—definitely fall into the second category. Blue was the opening salvo: the Garcia family’s first full production line rolled start‑to‑finish in Honduras, built…
-
My Father La Lealtad – Bury the Leaf Some cigars show up with expectations baked into the band. My Father La Lealtad is one of them. It walks in carrying three different stories at once: the Garcia family’s Honduran operation flexing again after Blue, that familiar ornate My Father branding promising craft, and an Ecuadorian…

My Father Blue – Bury the Leaf Every once in a while a cigar ends up carrying more weight than the ring gauge suggests. My Father Blue is one of those. It’s not just another Garcia blend with a pretty band; it’s the family’s flag planted squarely in Honduran soil, their first full production line…

La Aroma De Cuba Edicion Especial – Bury the Leaf Every now and then you light a cigar that feels less like a random pull from the humidor and more like a standing appointment you scheduled with yourself weeks ago. This La Aroma de Cuba Edición Especial No. 1 was one of those. It showed…

Rojas Street Tacos Al Pastor – Bury the Leaf There are cigars you light because you’re curious.There are cigars you light because you’re bored.And then there are cigars you light because, deep down, you already know exactly how this story ends before the foot ever sees a flame. The Rojas Street Taco Al Pastor landed…

Alec Bradley Pensado Toro – Bury the Leaf I have a confession. A fairly embarrassing confession, actually. I had absolutely no idea the Alec Bradley Prensado was a former Cigar of the Year. None. Not when I bought it. Not when it arrived. Not when it disappeared into the humidor. Not during the better part…
-
Crowned Heads Juarez Willie Lee – Bury the Leaf There are cigars you review. Then there are cigars that spend the entire evening reviewing you. The Willie Lee turned out to be the second kind. By the time this smoke was over, I’d spent nearly two and a half hours trying to determine whether I…

Trinidad Espiritu No. 1 – Bury the Leaf I broke one of my own rules for this cigar. Normally, a cigar arrives, gets logged, gets admired, and then gets sent to humidor detention for a proper acclimation period before I ever think about lighting it. That’s especially true when the poor thing has spent more…
