My first thought of the Byron Petit Poemas was,
Holy crap, this cigar is tiny and it costs $20?!

Cigar smokers are honest folk who like holding onto their hard-earned money, so when United Cigars wants to sell me a stick of tobacco for twenty-bucks, I think it should be good.
That said, the Byron Petit Poemas is a beautiful little cigar. The wrapper is a medium brown color marbled with flecks of darker brown, and it's quite pleasant to look at. Putting the torch to it, the cigar lit easily, though it did start off with a tight-ish draw.

Final Thoughts:
Yes, the Byron Petit Poemas is a tiny cigar. Yes, the Byron Petit Poemas is expensive. And, yes, the Byron Petit Poemas only lasted just over an hour. But, is it worth the $20 price point?
The burn was pretty dang good. The flavors were very nice and the cigar smoked and felt very premium. However, the draw was tighter than I would have liked, despite having chopped the end off perfectly with my guillotine cutter.
In the end, the Byron Petit Poemas is a good cigar worth enjoying at least once. Because it's so expensive (yet quite luxurious), the Petit Poemas earns a CigarScore 4.

I love getting great cigar deals. And today, I'm smoking a cigar from this sampler, the Alec Bradley Medalist Toro.
After cutting through the cap of the Alec Bradley Medalist, the cold draw was fantastic and offered up hints of very sweet honey. Once the cigar was lit, the aroma of the smoke was like that of bread and it was almost doughy. After lighting the cigar, that doughy aroma reminded me of sourdough bread.
During the first few minutes with the cigar, the Alec Bradley Medalist Toro was very smooth and it had a great flavor to it. Also, visually, the Medalist looks very much like an Atabey cigar, and that's likely due to both having a Costa Rican wrapper leaf.

Through the middle of my time with the Alec Bradley Medalist Toro, the flavors were good. I tasted creaminess that, when paired with coffee, was almost like a vanilla latte.
Despite having to retorch the cigar to even up the burn, the draw was good, and the burn did even quite a bit in the final third.
Final Thoughts
For the most part, the Alec Bradley Medalist Toro is a good cigar. Despite having a slight burn issue, the Medalist was quite enjoyable. Plus it comes in at a great price.
The flavors were light and occasionally sweet with hints of vanilla. And, overall, I really enjoyed the 75 minutes I got to spend with this cigar. The Alec Bradley Medalist Toro earns a CigarScore 4.

Most people have no idea what's in a cigar. Most people, mistakenly, think cigars are no different from cigarettes.
And it's because of this misunderstanding that we find ourselves in our current political environment where the taxes on cigars are skyrocketing. So, today, I'm going to pull back the curtain and show everyone exactly what's really inside a cigar.

Cigars are amazing things. They're little works of art, hand-rolled by experts who've spent years learning their craft. When compared to cigarettes, a cigar is like a dry-aged filet mignon, and a cigarette is like cheap bologna that's been dropped on the floor, picked up, rolled up, and stuffed in a cardboard box.
Cigars are organic. No chemicals ever touch the tobacco leaves. No insecticides, pesticides or anything else will be found on these leaves. Additionally, no chemicals are ever added to the leaves as they're being rolled into a cigar. Cigars will go out if they're not puffed on; no chemicals have been added to keep them lit.
PLANTED
Cigars are made completely by hand. An expert plants seeds directly into the soil that has been cared for.
The ground has been treated and tilled to have the right amounts of vitamins and minerals crucial to the success of a healthy plant.
PICKED
After the tobacco plant has soaked up plenty of natural sunlight and grown to several feet tall, someone cuts off each leaf to let it dry, age, and ferment.
AGED
During the aging and fermentation process, the leaves are kept in stacks, called pilons, so they can dry out and so any minerals added to the soil are drained from the tobacco.
After several months (if not years) of aging, the leaves are organized and sorted by color and flavor.
BLENDED
Then, a master blender (much like a master winemaker, a.k.a. a vintner), samples leaves to see what recipe he or she wants to create.
Like a chef in a gourmet kitchen, the blender collects his ingredients. Unlike a chef in a kitchen, a master blender of cigars use

Some mornings beg for coffee and cigars. And that's the case today, so I decided to grab the J. London Gold Series Lancero out of my humidor and give it a smoke.

The first thing I noticed about the cigar was that it was very light. I also noticed that there were tiny green spots or smudges on its Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper.
After cutting the end with my guillotine, the draw was a little tighter than I would have liked. However, on the cold draw, the flavors were of lemon and grass, and I expect the J. London Gold Series Lancero to be a very light and mild cigar.
But, once the cigar was lit, I was greeted with wonderful aromas and I greatly enjoyed the smell. And, despite a slightly constrained draw, I was able to fully taste the cigar and get plenty of smoke on each puff.

Well, about 30 minutes into the cigar, I realized my first (visual) impression of the J. London Gold Series Lancero was wrong. This cigar is not super-light.
In fact, it's full of flavor. There were hints of creaminess combined with lemon and grass.
Final Thoughts
The J. London Gold Series Lancero is both expensive and unique. The construction of the cigar was really nice with a great burn and a decent draw.
Regarding the flavors, I could taste that citrusy lemon flavor the entire time. And, while I didn't totally love that flavor, you might.
While the J. London Gold Series Lancero is moderately expensive at $21, the time I spent with it was enjoyable. So, the J. London Gold Series Lancero earns a CigarScore 5.

Not every cigar shop has house blends, but some do. So when Bradley Reith over at Zeal Cigars in Phoenix, Arizona asked me to review some of his house blend cigars, I said, "I'm in!"
Today's smoke is a blend Bradley made himself. It's the Zeal Cigars Got Your Six Gordo, and it's a somewhat rustic-looking cigar with a barber pole wrapper made up of three different tobaccos. The initial flavors after cutting are very nice and the draw started off great.

Brand: Zeal Cigars House Blend
Line: Got Your Six
Size: 6 x 60
Cut: Guillotine
Light: Torch
Price: $8
Wrapper: Cameroon Maduro, Ecuadorian Connecticut, Habano
Binder: Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, Honduras
Filler: Dominican Republic
Shop Zeal Cigars: https://click.cigarscore.com/zealcigars-gotyoursix
Final Thoughts:
Where some house blend cigars leave a lot to be desired, often falling short in areas of flavor, construction quality, premium look and feel, the Zeal Cigars Got Your Six Gordo does not. This cigar stands apart from other non-name-brand sticks.
But, does the Got Your Six belong with the premium cigars on the shelf?
The first third of the smoke had flavors that were mild to medium, and the flavors from the Habano wrapper seemed to have been muted. That is until the final third which is when the cigar developed a little bit of a kick and the notes of vanilla transition to pepper. However, there were some slight construction issues with the Cameroon and Connecticut wrappers.
In the end, I would smoke this cigar again. Thought it had a couple of minor issues (which could also be because of temperature fluctuations in my humidor) the Got Your Six performed well, and it earns a CigarScore 3.
