A boy, and his cigar..


Players Club by Don Diego was a very mild smoke, pepper, and earthy tobacco.. I sensed a small amount of cinnamon, and strong black pepper on my tongue. It has small veins, very light wrapper, however when I cut it, there were some cracks at the tip. Could be a bad cut job.. The draw was fair, slightly too loose. You can pick up this cigar here.

Very nice burn, easy going. Strong tobacco and earth flavors on my tongue, the retrohale was a strong tobacco taste and burned, but could be due to me being new.

Strong pepper prevails, over powering the tobacco flavor. It actually burns my lips, however is very enjoyable. I also sense small traces of sugar.. Is that also... Leather.?

Third Third:

The cigar is winding down, going back to the strong tobacco flavor, some small hints of cinnamon here and there along with leather. There is a slight sweet background.



Over all this was an enjoyable smoke. I paired it with some homemade peanut butter cookies, and all 23 flavors of Dr. Pepper. It was very good, and never got harsh. Huge clouds of blue-gray smoke, which was velvet smooth on my tongue. Leaves a mild taste on my pallet that I can't quite explain..

Taste: 24/25
Construction: 22/25
Draw/Burn:19/25
Smoke: 23/25


Total: 88

PS: The Flor De Olivia was cracked beyond repair, that is why its in the "ashtray" and the cigarettes are not mine..

Sounds good. I've always overlooked these b/c I figured at the price it was a $h!t cigar. But your review makes me want to try one.:tu Thanks.
