D & S Cigars review

[Diesel Grinch]

Zemis Torpedo(6x56) $1.84 a cigar comes in a box of 6 for $11 at this size.

When I first took the cello off and had a whiff it reminded me of hay from a barn which I enjoyed. I made the cut using a V cut. On a draw before lighting I found it very easy like sucking air through a straw. I don't like it this loose. Taste was mild. This cigar didn't have a bad tasting tobacco just not a yum one. It was plain. Didn't make me want to spit so it wasn't cheap tobacco. Just mild. The ash lasted until an inch and half and when it finally fell off it broke apart easy when it landed. I was able to see into the cigar and it's a loose pack making for the easy draw. To me this would be a cigar to leave out for people who don't smoke but they just want a big cigar or to have a cigar which you aren't worried about throwing away unfinished. But at the price listed it's over priced. I would say it's more of a dollar or under cigar.

Colita Premium Box cigar Jibarito(6x48) $1.08 a cigar and comes in a box of 50 for $54 at this size.

This cigar had a nice tobacco smell to it and I made the standard V cut. The first draw was nice not loose like the Zemis. Once lit it had a mild taste and was nice. The ash lasted a little over an inch. The only problem I had with this cigar was that it didn't burn even up to an inch uneven. But all in all this is a decent value cigar. To me this cigar is a good one to hand to a mooching friend who is not into cigars but grabs one from you at times or again when you only have a certain amount a time and don't want to worry about putting it out unfinished. My only recommendation would be to change the name and packaging. As you seen Rick it's real close to Cohiba cigars.

Fuma Dominicana Especial Churchill(7x50) $1.16 each and comes in a bundle of 25 for $29 at this size.

The cigar looked good construction wise but after a whiff I had a flashback to my first days with cigars at gas stations and drug stores. I gave it my V cut and took a test pull. It was loose but not as loose as the Zemis. This cigar burned the most even of the 3 so far but the ash wouldn't make it to an inch. When the ash hit the ground it turn to dust showing the loose pack. It did put off a lot of smoke but was mild in taste and burn a little hot. I didn't really care for this cigar as my taste have changed from my first days and it wasn't for me.

Cubanito Churchill(7x50)$1.08 each and comes in a bundle of 25 for $27 at this size.

This was cracked but still looked smoke able. Smelled like the Fuma and I gave it the V cut. First draw was good. It wasn't loose but not tight either. Burn was close to being even but ash wouldn't last much more that a 3/4 inch. The ash didn't break apart on landing but while attached to the cigar the ash was split and didn't look nice and firm. Now on to taste. I didn't like the first inch and half at all. The middle became ok and then at the end it was back to being bad. I had a hard time finishing this cigar. I didn't like it.

Of the 4 cigars that I tried that aren't flavored the Colita Premium Box cigar is the only one I would consider. But I am on my way to become a cigar snob. On average my cigars last an hour and half maybe a longer. I like to sit back and relax so I tend not to smoke unless I'm going to have time to enjoy the cigar. This make me like a better cigar. If you have a tight budget and are looking for a "budget" smoke then you might want to try these.

Rich I would like to thank you for allowing me to do the taste testing and find your willingness to send out samples great. I wish the results where better but this was my opnion of them. The blends need work. Once again Thank you. I will smoked the flavored one next week and give my final review then.

Mojo (6x42) $1.58 each and comes in a bundle of 12 for $19 at this size.

Well I did it and smoke the flavored cigar. I am not a flavored cigar fan but a commitment is a commitment. I did promise to review Ricks cigars. I hate to say it but I think this was the best of the lot. Construction, burn, ash where all nice. The draw was right too. As to flavor I think it was the Natural one as it didn't taste like rum to me. It was a mild smoke and kind of neutral in taste. Other than thinking I should be hanging this from my review mirror it was fine. If you are into Flavored smokes then this would be a decent pick.

This is aout right on with what I thought these cigars would be like when I 1st saw this guys site. So far the only bundle cigar that I have ever found to be very tasty is the La Floridita. But they are what they are, bundle cigars.

I just bought a bundle of Consuegras and every other cigar has some nice taste to it. Your right though, you get what you pay for.
