Powstanie Broadleaf Perfecto Review
Up for review today is the Powstanie Broadleaf Perfecto, a cigar that hails from the RoMa Craft factory. I can’t say I knew much about these cigars before smoking them. Thankfully, Halfwheel has some good backstory: The cigar is called Powstanie—poh-shan-yah—which is the Polish word for “uprising.” That theme extends over to the logo which was […]
La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Reserva Maximo Review
Pepin Garcia has been created legendary blends for others as well as himself for quite some time now. When the La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor came on the scene sporting a Mexican San Andres wrapper that showed many what flavors quality Mexican wrapper can deliver, the cigar was met with praise and became a staple […]
Davidoff Florida Selection Review
What’s better than a cigar and a book? Answer: a Davidoff cigar, and a fantastic piece of religious writings (Wellsprings of Faith: The Imitation of Christ / The Dark Night of the Soul / The Interior Castle pictured above). Today we review a very special cigar: the Davidoff Florida Selection, a 2018 Davidoff release that features […]
Warped Serie Gran Reserva 1988 Review
The Warped Serie Gran Reserva 1988 is the newest release from Kyle Gellis and Warped Cigars. Like other Warped cigars, this blend has been positively received by many reviewers, and I honestly can’t think of a release from the company that hasn’t. Still, this is a unique release. For one, it has only been released in one size […]
Broken Top Bourbon Review
A few weeks back, my wife Catherine and I traveled out to my home state of Oregon to see my family and childhood friends. We spent the first day in Portland doing nothing but sampling coffee shops and interior design studios (I know, I know). The rest of our trip was spent with family down […]
Aberlour 16 Year Double Cask Scotch Review
When I first got into single malts years ago, sherry-influenced whiskies were mostly off my radar. As my palate developed and I realized I enjoyed them, Aberlour became a quick go-to. It is, after all, a distillery known for its sherry cask matured single malts (and at a great price point too). Of course, price […]
John Drew Rye Review
John Drew Rye is the second John Drew Brands spirit reviewed on Fine Tobacco NYC. We recently reviewed the Brixton Mash Destroyer, a rum/bourbon blend which is a damn nice dram, if a bit eccentric. The John Drew Rye isn’t quite as ambitious an undertaking as the Mash Destroyer. It’s aged four years in “Specially […]
John Drew Brixton Mash Destroyer Review
If you’re a cigar smoker reading this review, you’re probably here because you heard that Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate has gone into the spirits business and you want to know what he’s up to. For non cigar smokers reading this review, Jonathan Drew revolutionized the cigar world in recent decades, first with his Acid […]
