House of Emilio Month in Reviews - March, 2015

House of Emilio Reviews - March, 2015

"The Best of the Boutiques"

 

The Sultans of Smoke reviewed the Mia Dora by Emilio Cigars: 
 
"As previously mentioned, this was my first Emilio cigar and I really wasn’t sure what to expect. By the end of the smoke I was left extremely impressed and really enjoyed the experience. In my opinion, this is the type of cigar that fits perfectly into a rotation to serve as a stronger go to smoke. Good price point, damn good cigar, and I definitely recommend giving these a shot"

 Ben's Cigars reviewed the Ezra Zion FHK:  

"I am giving the Ezra Zion Honor Series FHK 9 Smoke Rings! This is a real treat, the flavor is fantastic and for the price you cannot compare this to another cigar in it’s price category! Get these, they are amazing, you will not be disappointed if you want flavor and quality."   Full review. 

Stogie Bink reviewed the Emilio Cigars Mia Dora: 

"Two inches in and the ash is still holding on strong!  The draw flavors remain consistent with the spicy/pepper note and a sweet tobacco.  The finish also continues the spicy pepper notes but adds in a baking spice near the end of the finish.  The baking spice stays on the palate the longest and the flavors are still holding strong at a medium body.  The draw remains perfect as did the burn line.  Construction has been excellent."

Cigar Memoir reviewed the La Musa Melete Lancero:  "The La Musa Melete Lancero is a lovely cigar with excellent construction and a somewhat unique profile that kept me interested throughout. The high point of the cigar for me was when the salty component made a brief appearance as the cigar hit its apex of sweetness around the middle-point."  Full review here


Blind Man's Puff reviewed the Ezra Zion Tantrum PA:

“Overall, this is a fantastic stick. I loved the progression of flavors with no two parts tasting the same, well constructed in a great size and shape. This is a cigar I will smoke again without a doubt."  Full review here.

The Cigar Authority reviewed the Nomad Cigars S-307: 

"Once we light the cigar there are notes of some pepper and earth. Smoking deeper into the first third, I am rather impressed with the chocolate/caramel like aroma that compliments the sweetness that emerges just before the second third of the cigar.

As we approach the midway point of the Nomad S307 a sweetness forms and is noticeable on the lips. It is reminiscent of a sugar cookie. I enjoy how the cigar has transitioned from a slightly bitter start to a sweet cigar that is medium in body. As the second third comes to a close the aroma of the cigar changes to that of a strong coffee."  Full review here

Casas Fumando reviewed the Guayacan Cigars Sabor de Esteli Maduro:  "Right off the bat the Sabor de Esteli stats off with some potent peppers and spice. Once the black pepper began to fizzle out the spice gained more grand backed by some plum, sweetness, brown sugar, natural tobacco and lots of deep oakiness and a sharp tartness on the finish."  Full review here

Cigar Coop reviewed the Nomad Cigars C-276:  "One thing that sometimes gets overlooked is how different each of Rewey's cigars are from a flavor standpoint. Each cigar in the portfolio has its own identity, and with his four lines, there should be something for everybody to enjoy. As I mentioned, the C-276 Robusto is going to deliver that fuller, but not overpowering cigar."

Covering Your Ash reviewed the 1502 Cigars Nicaragua: " Though I’m tempted to recommend the 1502 Nicaragua to novice smokers because of the extremely enjoyable flavors, I’m also hesitant because this cigar is sneaky-strong. And even though I’d only categorize it as medium-plus, you’re paying so much attention to the complexity and flavors that the power of this little stick catches you by surprise. In any case, it’s one that I’d like to have more often, and I think you just might as well."  Full review here

Robusto Cigar Babe reviewed the Emilio Cigars AF1:  

"My love affair with AF1 continues into the Final Third with a rich, chocolate taking center stage with a balanced mix of espresso & spice playing a more dominant role. I love the way AF1 commands attention. Intricate, dimensional, and smooth. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with this cigar."  Full review here


Seth's Humidor reviewed the 1502 Cigars Nicaragua:  
"When I enter into the second third of the cigar I find that the pepper notes continue to play a strong role in the cigar, and it is showing some more walnut flavors with some additional almond qualities. There is a nice french vanilla quality present, and it is pairing with sweet cedar and creamy qualities.

I am in the final third of the cigar now and it is showing a strong peanut flavor at the beginning, and finishes by showing some faint spice and pepper notes with heavy cream qualities. There are some cedar flavors present as well, and there is an herbal and slightly burnt/harsh flavor on the finish."  Full review here

Stogie Cigarski reviewed the 1502 Cigars Ruby:  
"As you progress to about the halfway mark, notes of cocoa and sweet hay intermingle with the pepper and provide a very nice bouquet which tops out at medium bodied.  The flavors culminate in a nice easy finish that had me smoke this cigar down until I was forced to put it down. 

 Great construction, nice evolving flavors, copious  amounts of smoke and a great finish make the 1502 Cigars Ruby a really outstanding cigar. Since smoking the initial cigars for review, I have gone on to purchase a box and would advise you to do the same."  Full review here
 
Stogie Bink reviewed the Emilio Cigars La Musa Melete Lancero:

"The draw flavor now has a creamy leather with a sweet tobacco note, accompanied by the slight pepper flavor and mild tingle sensation.  The finish still has the earthiness and sweet creamy flavor one draw, and the next a nice caramel note comes in a dominates the palate till the next draw.  The flavors are complex and there is a lot going on during the finish.  Every other draw the cigar will have the earth and leather, and completely switch back to the caramel note.  Also, a yeast and bread note comes in and out on the finish as well."   Full review here

The Sultans of Smoke reviewed the Emilio Cigars AF2: "Another solid blend by AJ Fernandez and a good cigar. The AF2 reminded me of other cigars blended by AJ including the Emilio Mia Dora, New World, San Lotano, and some of the Southern Draw offerings. I wouldn’t say the AF2 necessarily was on point taste wise with them, but the shades of AJ’s other blending feats was prevalent during the smoke. The value proposition with these is a factor as well, this is a damn good smoke for $6-7 and that took me from a borderline yes/no on humidor space to a solid yes. If you’re looking for a solid medium-full smoke at a great value, I would not hesitate to give the AF2 a shot"  Full review here 
 
Tiny Tim reviewed the Mia Dora by Emilio Cigars:  "The cigar ended much like the last segment; sweet cedar, brown sugar, roasted nuts, and coffee. The cigar was pretty much medium to full bodied. The black pepper was very good on both ends. The finish was toasted cream with some roasted nuts and lots of lingering black pepper. This has been a complex cigar with lots of changes. Dora should be very proud of the cigar Gary named for her."  Full review here

Stogie Bink reviewed the Nomad Cigars S-307:  
 
"With just over two inches left the flavors transition slightly on the finish.  The black pepper flavor and tingle still dominate the draw but is now being accompanied by a nuttiness.  The finish has the earth and leather and every few draws a slightly bitter bakers chocolate note comes in.  The bakers chocolate is faint, but present, and fades fairly quick as did the almond note in the last inch.  Burn and draw are still perfect and the body is still at a medium to full keeping the flavors on the palate long until the next draw."  Full review here


The Sultans of Smoke reviewed the Ezra Zion Cigars Eminence:

"The Eminence is pure chocolatey goodness. When possible I like to compare to other cigars so our readers have an idea on what to expect. I found the Eminence to be similar to the Crowned Heads Jericho Hill, Sindicato Maduro, and the Roma Craft Cromagnon Blockhead.
 
As I was smoking this cigar, I texted Drew with “Damn dude, this thing is good”. Simply put, this cigar was right up my alley and I really enjoyed it."   Full review here

Tiny Tim reviewed the Epicurean Cigars Carnavale:  "The flavors are, in order of prominence, sweet cedar, dry wood, cinnamon, white chocolate, and coffee. The finish is a toasted cream with a lot of lingering black pepper. The pepper has settled down into only a black. The cigar is medium to full bodied now.

I have enjoyed this cigar a lot. I like a cigar that has numerous changes. The dry wood played a big part in this cigar. The pepper was very good starting with red and black and settling into black."  Full review
