My Favorite Sticks

Posted on Thursday, June 10, 2010 in Informational

I get several requests for ‘what are your favorites’ each week, so I’ve gone ahead and created a short list. This is by no means a ‘Top’ list, simply what MY personal taste favs happen to be at the moment. If you find yourself agreeing with the flavors I tend to get from sticks, I would suggest you try all of these!

In no particular order:

Arturo Fuente Anejo
CAO Black
El Primer Mundo Rosado
El Titan De Bronze Redemption Maduro
Mi Barrio
Old Henry
Padron 1964
Pinar Del Rio Seleccion Reserva Limitada
Esteban Carrera
San Cristobal Lancero
Sir Vin Cigars Merlin’s Magic

El Titan De Bronze Redemption Maduro Robusto Cigar Review

This 5×50 stick offered a dark chocolate, satin wrapper with a slight oil sheen and tooth. Very small veins and clean seams ran the length to a triple cap all packed perfectly. Draw was slightly firm with perfect resistance for an almost razor sharp burn all the way down, even after sitting for 5 minutes unattended. The smoke was extremely rich and thick with tremendous volume from the first 1/2″ down. Flavors were very rich and smooth giving the impression of nicely aged mature tobacco. The first third brought smooth tobacco with a slight sweetness and pepper, quickly transitioning to a light leather core and getting very creamy and smooth. Other flavors joined in later including a dry cocoa and a smooth creamy milk chocolate. Total burn time to the nub was 1 hour. Everyone NEEDS to try this stick, even if you think you don’t care for maduros! Thank you very much to El Titan de Bronze for generously donating this sample for review! Photography by BG Pictures.
