The first thing I noticed about the Davidoff Yamasa Robusto was its near-perfect construction. As you'd expect from a Davidoff product, the Yamas is a great looking cigar.

After cutting the end, the excellent craftmanship yielded a perfect draw, something that is a requirement for a great cigar. The cold draw flavors were citrusy, perhaps like a ruby red grapefruit. However, you can't (and shouldn't) judge a cigar before lighting it, so let's go!

Through the middle of the cigar, I found big, bold flavors. The rich Yamasa wrapper reminds me of the clay in the Red River that divides Texas and Oklahoma. The draw is perfect, and I very much enjoyed the first half of this spicy cigar.
Final Thoughts:
The Davidoff Yamasa Robusto is a cigar I didn't see coming. While Davidoff normally delivers cigars deep in the "mild" category, the Yamasa is anything but tame. In fact, in the final third, the Yamasa delivers quite a lot of flavor with tons of cedar, earthiness, and spice, and the creaminess I experienced in the first half of the cigar has all but faded away.
Additionally, the Yamasa is a testament to the craftmanship Davidoff is known for. There wasn't a single burn issue, though it wasn't razor-sharp. There were no tight spots. And, the draw was perfect for the entire time. The Davidoff Yamasa Robusto earns a CigarScore 5.

It's not every day I get to review a cigar that the community wants me to. But, after the September Luxury Cigar Club unboxing video, you guys asked me to review today's cigar, the AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro Lancero Special Edition.
After liberating the lancero from the cellophane, the wrapper had an aroma of cedar with hints of soy sauce. And, although the end cap cracked slightly under the pressure of the punch, the draw was perfect afterward.
Once I lit the Bellas Artes, the draw tightened up just a bit, but I could taste rich Nicaraguan tobacco that was leathery and spicy.
Through the first third of the cigar, the flavors of the AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro Lancero Special Edition were good, but not great. The construction appeared good, but the flavors weren't quite as premium as I'd expected going into this review. And, some additional cracks developed around the foot as the tobacco heated up.

Through the middle of the Bellas Artes Maduro, the burn was even, the draw was good, and the flavors evolved into a sweeter, more complex blend I really enjoyed.
Final Thoughts
One thing to note about cigar reviews is that you can't judge a cigar by only your first impression. Sometimes a cigar takes time to show you what it's made of. And that's the case with the AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro Lancero Special Edition, a cigar that grew into something I enjoyed.
That said, the draw was a little tight. The burn was almost perfect for most of the nearly 90 minutes I spent with the cigar. The label had a tad bit of excessive glue that stuck to the wrapper leaf. And, the flavors through the middle third were better than they were at the beginning and end.

Today we continue our series of blind cigar reviews, where our goal is to provide you with a totally objective, completely neutral review of a cigar. Ellory went into this review completely blind; that means without knowing what it is, who made it, how much it costs, or what's in it. To see the entire series of blind cigar reviews, click here.
One of the first things I noticed about the Kristoff GC Signature Series Robusto was its rustic but well-marbled wrapper. There was also a pigtail end and a closed foot – all things I often enjoy.
Something that I did notice about the wrapper leaf was how much lighter it was along the stem (timestamp 2:03). Since the moisture drains from stems last, this might be an indication that this leaf was not hung to dry for long enough.
After cutting the pigtail end, the draw was ok. The first flavors weren't terribly impressive and my guess was that this was a budget cigar.
Even after cutting the cigar a second time, the draw was still a little tight but I could get a decent amount of smoke. The flavors were okay and a little sour with hints of wood.

When it comes to cigars, is oily a good thing? And, if so, is oilier better? That's how todays' cigar, the La Flor Dominicana Cabinet No 5 Maduro Toro was described to me – “practically dripping in oil!”
Visually, the LFD Cabinet #5 did appear very oily. The cigar practically shone and there was a little oily residue that remained on my fingers. That same oily United States Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper also gave up the aromas that were leathery and musty.
While cutting the cigar was somewhat difficult, as soon as the Cabinet No 5 was lit, the aromas were fantastic and I could taste the Connecticut Broadleaf from the first puff.

Through the middle of the cigar, the draw was perfect and the overall construction was really good.
Regarding the flavors, there seems to be a clash between the broadleaf wrapper and the Dominican binder and fillers. Instead of a nice blending, they seem to be fighting for dominance. The wrapper seemed just a tad harsh and unrefined, and I wished that the Dominican tobaccos offered a richer molasses flavor than they did.
Final Thoughts
For the most part, the La Flor Dominicana Cabinet No 5 Maduro Toro I smoked was perfect. The burn was almost perfect, the draw was great, and the smoke time was worth the price.
However, the flavors could've been a little better. The United States Connecticut Broadleaf totally overshadowed the Dominican tobaccos in this cigar. Perhaps, with some additional aging, this cigar could have a nice blend of flavors instead of two separate experiences fighting for dominance.
This is a strong and bold cigar. If that's what you're looking for, then I think
