2001 BAUZA CASA GRANDES SINGLES

$45.00

Bauza is an old Cuban brand that was made as a non-export. In the 1990s, it was re-formulated by the Fuente family as a Dominican cigar. These cigars are part of my collection and have been aging in the same humidor for over 20 years. You may find a younger version of these on the market today but they won't be as matured. They are hand made and contain 100% long filler.

From Mike's Cigars:

Mike's Cigars is proud to have the exclusive distribution rights for Bauza by Arturo Fuente. The Fuente's are the First Family of Cigars and they have been producing the Bauza Cigar for well over twenty years! With its Ecuadorian Sumatra Sun-grown leaf and Dominican filler, the Bauza was one of the first non-Cuban brands to receive a 92 rating by Cigar Aficionado Magazine. With a spicy yet soothing aroma and creamy delicate flavors of coffee and nutmeg, it’s no wonder Bauza was a favorite of Carlos Fuente Sr., the patriarch of the Fuente dynasty!

2002 MONTE ALBAR GRAN CORONA TUBULARES SINGLES

The beautiful wrapper complements the Dominican long-filler extremely well. It’s a medium-bodied smoke with spicy, expressive, earthy aromas, and hints of grass. Note a touch of peppery spiciness in the flavor that extends all the way through to a smooth, dry finish.

2012 PADILLA LA TERRAZA 80TH ANNIVERSARY ROBUSTO MADURO SEALED BOX OF 20

$150.00

That’s one dark wrapper on the La Terraza Maduro. “Maduro” just doesn’t do it justice, it’s as black as a darkroom at midnight. And oily too. 

 

The Flavor

A pronounced, rich leather was the first flavor I encountered in the La Terraza Maduro. Variations in the draw firmness made the most significant impact on this third, with looser sticks tending to be a little sweeter and more peppery. But generally, this portion was a transition from the initial leather to chocolate with a raisin-like sweetness and little espresso.

 

In the second third, a savory, smoky quality appeared. A growing charred wood, chocolate and pepper kept things moving along with leather playing a faint supporting role.

 

By the time the final third started to burn, the wood and pepper had taken over the profile, with chocolate popping up occasionally just to make sure you weren’t missing it. Nearing the end, there was return of the espresso noted earlier.

2017 QUESADA 70TH ANNIVERSARY BELICOSO SEALED BOX OF 10

$175.00

MQ 70 is magnificent, showcasing endless complexities. It is somewhat difficult to sum it all up, as the flavors seem to hit every angle of the palate; much in the same way you’ll find with many Cubans. The cigar manages to offer a contrasting experience, with dark and robust notes (toasted nuts and leather), delivered through a delicate, light, and clean overall impression. It’s the subtle touches that add to the overall profile, such as a bright and salty sensation from the raw tobacco against the tongue. The smoke is best enjoyed through the retrohale, begging the smoker to retain each puff within the back of the nostrils and even upper throat (occasional, slight inhales are advised) for a moment or two longer than you’re accustomed to—soaking up every morsel of flavor within the smoke’s inherent oils.

 

MQ 70 does require fairly frequent puffs to keep the smoke flowing. This occasionally amounts to overheating, producing darker flavors that aren’t entirely unsavory: dark chocolate, anise, a cold, menthol-like sensation, and a touch of harshness. With touchups, though, flavors come springing back from the dead, turning simplistic notes like dark chocolate into a more tangible experience of a Milky Way Midnight Dark chocolate candy bar.

 

Past the halfway point and beyond, flavors come in the form of toffee, honey, and flowers; eventually transitioning to charred wood, anise, various chocolates, marshmallow sweetness, and (eventually) dark and ashy harshness.
