Miami Bound

Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2010 in World of CO

I may not be able to update the site for a few days, as I’ll be on a trip to Miami! We’ll see if I can squeeze something in but I have a feeling I’ll have better things to do ;) In any case, videos to come early next week!

Reyes Family Cigars Premier Gordo Cigar Review

This 6×60 double tapered stick is unique in that both ends are open, making the cut completely unnecessary. Luckily they designed it just right, and both the burn and draw were very good right from the start with no issues. Draw was actually on the loose side with just the right amount of resistance, something that surprised me given the small opening. Body was mild-medium with fairly simple flavors, having one predominant flavor at a time. They included sweet smooth leather, cocoa and tobacco, with a mild pepper and spice on the finish, which was short and fairly clean. Thank you very much to Reyes Family Cigars for donating this stick for review! Photography by BG Pictures.

Welcome to Cigar Obsession

Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 in Informational

Hi, I’m Bryan Glynn Editor of Cigar Obsession.  

This project is going to be a labor of love for me, simply taking you through my ongoing quest for the ‘perfect’ cigar. What I bring to the table is both popular and unique. Let me explain!

I am not an aficionado. I am not an expert. I am simply a regular guy who happens to LOVE cigars. I give honest reviews without the subjectiveness. Just the facts – how does it burn and what does it taste like?

I will be providing video reviews, from this exact perspective. I want to give everyone else the kind of information about each and every puro I encounter, that will help you decide if a particular stick is something that may appeal to you. Perhaps like myself, you are out to discover all the endless combinations of flavor, taste, aroma, strength, etc. Maybe like myself you also have an ideal in your mind that you hope to someday match to a particular stick.

I am fully aware that tastes range wildly. Both perceptually and chemically. What one person describes as full-bodied, another may consider mild! I will bracket my experiences, providing as many reference points as possible with my reviews.

My goal is to provide a complete review of the experience from start to finish, not simply a cursory reading of a stat sheet and a quick pan of an unlit stick or box. No, I want to convey the full sensations, exploring the nuances of each cigar fully.
