Scotty's Cigar Review - Isla De Cuba Cigars

Isla De Cuba Cigars



I have to admit,I was a skeptic. I did NOT think the Isla De Cuba cigars were going to be all that great. I LOVE it when I am proven wrong!


Construction: Very well built cigars. The natural Connecticut and the Connecticut broadleaf maduro are both beautifully wrapped. The maduro being the prettiest....all oily looking.


Draw: I have smoked a half dozen of these rascals and every one had an excellent draw. So much so as to make for a nice slow smoke.


Burn: Nice and even. The only time I needed an adjustment light was when I tended to power smoke it ( I couldn't help it...they are really good).


Taste: These sweethearts are smooooooooooth. They are medium strength with a nice
spice and black coffee taste and a touch of cedar. The maduro was just a notch higher in strength.


Aroma: Not overly pungent,but very pleasing to my shnozzola.


Finish: YES!! I told you I finished SIX of them! Actually the finish was not all that lengthy,but had a nice spicy linger to it.


All in all,I found it to be an extremely pleasant cigar for a mere $7.00 . I also think sitting in your favorite...(favourite for my Canadian friends)..humidor for a while will make these cigars go up a
good half smoke ring. On that note,I am giving it a PRE-sit-in-your-fav-humidor "O O O C" three and a half smoke rings!



That's all for now. Summer is coming,YAY! So as usual........

Scotty's Cigar Review - Ashton Aged Maduro

Today the reviewed cigar is a cigar smokers "Bentley". The Ashton Aged Maduro!
It is truly one of the finest maduro's available today. I may be very fond of strong cigars,but every now and then a special occasion comes along,and Ashton's are absolutely special!


CONSTRUCTION: Almost a work of art. Aged Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco wrapped flawlessly,all dark and oily looking. The ONLY thing missing was fire....and I had no problem supplying that!


BURN: It's burn was exactly like it's construction. Flawless.No re-lights needed. A nice even burn from start to stop.


DRAW: It never ceases to amaze me how a great cigar can be packed tightly with all of that fine tobacco,yet the sensation you get is much like drawing on an empty tube. A swimming snorkel should have a draw this good!


TASTE: With all of the hard core strength cigars I smoke,I have to admit it took a minute to relate to the almost delicate complexities of this cigar. Mild to medium in strength,this cigar just has this remarkable,
slightly sweet,woody,spicy almost cocoa like flavor. It has relaxation qualities that would seem to make Valium a part of the caffeine family.


AROMA: This smoke is very gentle on the nose. I would recommend one of these in a situation that called for "odor discretion". Chances are good that even people that HATE cigar smoke wouldn't have much to complain about. It's just a nice natural aroma.......about as intrusive as the smell of a toasty wood fire on a cold day.


FINISH: Its finish is much like its start. Mild but complex.


There are only a few cigars out there that really deserve top ratings( I mean TOP too)!
The ASHTON AGED MADURO gets all FIVE!! "O O O O O" smoke rings.


Well,that's it for now......and as always...
SMOKE 'EM IF YA GOT 'EM!

P.S. I would like to give Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard a salute and a handshake for his donation of 1,500 cigars confiscated in a drug raid to our troops overseas!
A great job and a great gesture in my book,Sir!

EVENT SCHEDULE FOR 2008

Attention Detroit Area Customers~

While other areas of the country may have the opportunity to smoke cigars 365 days a year....We know that here in the North country that the opportunity to enjoy our cigars becomes slightly diminished when it gets cold outside!

March 27
What a way to kick off the 2008 Cigar Factory Outlet Event Schedule! Only 1 time per year do we have the privilege of hosting an Ashton Event. For those of you that have smoked an Ashton, you know that this is one company that does not have to discount their cigars to sell them! However, on the 27th you will have the opportunity from 4:00 P.M. till 7:00 P.M. to purchase Ashton Product at 10% to 20
% OFF our already low prices! Tickets to this event are limited to only 50 Custsomers and there are only a few left....So call the Big Easy today as this event will be SOLD OUT very soon!

April 3
Sometimes when you have the right connections you get the inside track on something special before the rest to the World hears about it! On April 3rd from 4 P.M. till 7:00 P.M. that is exactly what is going to take place at the Cigar Factory Outlet! We will be one of the First Retail Stores in the country to introduce the world to the new Isla de Cuba Cigars! Only because of our close relationship with Cigar Dave, do we have this opportunity to host Daryll Leeser of Isla De Cuba and introduce you to this GREAT NEW CIGAR! In the coming months you will hear the General singing the praises of Isla De Cuba. In coming months you will see it featured and rated in the National magazines.

April 26
On April 26th from 4:00 till 7:00 we will be joined by our good friends from Altadis as they feature one of the oldest names in Cigars.........Te Amo! In it's heyday Te-Amo Cigars were the # 1 selling Premium Cigar in the United States. Over the years the brand underwent a number of changes and they were not always for the good of the brand. Over the past 2 years Altadis and my good friend Jim Colucci have made it their primary objective to restore the respect to this fine brand that it once enjoyed! The quality of Te-Amo and everything about them have been taken to the next level! On the 26th of April you will have the opportunity to experience the fruits of their labor as we Light up the NEW TE-AMO! The CFO will make sure to celebrate the Mexican Heritage of this fine brand by sponsoring a Burrito eating contest at 6:00 P.M.!
