Christmas Corona Gordas, Day 12: Cohiba Siglo IV
For day 12, the last day of this series of reviews I have left one of my favourite cigars, the Cohiba Siglo IV. I was meant to smoke this cigar yesterday, however I decided to postpone this review for a day, as I was late sitting down and I didn’t want sunrise to find me [...]

The girls from El Laguito
If there is a cigar size that I could relate to a beautiful woman, that is without a doubt the Laguito No.1. Tall and slender, with a beautiful coiffure (I would rather not use the word pigtail in this comparison), the Laguito No.1 is a cigar that requires maximum craftsmanship.
