			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.smokehall.com/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-396" title="A new Review for December" src="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Por_Larranaga_Belicosos_Extra_Cigars_179-01.jpg" alt="Por Larranaga Belico Review" width="179" height="191" /></a>A few years ago, Habanos started doing something interesting with their brands that were not that prominent. They started producing Regional Exclusives for certain regions. The result has been a mix of hidden gems and dismal failures. One that stands out to me is the <strong>Por Larranaga Belicosos Extra</strong> produced for the Asia Pacific region. I have no idea what they consider Asia Pacific, but I was able to secure a few of this <a href="http://www.smokehall.com">cigar</a> and try them out. A nice little adventure from the norm of Cohiba and Partagas.</p>
<p>Until this release, I had never looked twice at anything from Por Larranaga. The name is too difficult to get right. Wannabe aficionados pretend to know how to pronounce it, but if they were being truthful, they have no more idea than I do.</p>
<p>The band of this cigar is really sexy. It has a very classy gold sheen, with raised lettering. Giving any cigar with the band automatic status.</p>
<p>The word I’d use to describe this cigar is “rustic”. Like Havana itself. It has a very blue collar outer leaf that doesn’t present glamour. The triple cap seems crude as well.</p>
<p><strong>Construction:</strong></p>
<p>From start to finish, I thought this cigar was very genuine. The taste was a cross between a Partagas Solomones, and a Cohiba Robusto. Not smooth at all, but not harsh at the same time. Hard to describe the interesting conflict in flavor. The cigar stayed lit, and burned somewhat evenly.</p>
<p><strong>Taste:</strong></p>
<p>As I said, a very genuine smoke. I had to drink coca cola to take the bite off my tongue as I smoked this cigar. I was reminded of butter, salt, and leather for the majority of this cigar.</p>
<p>Over all, I liked the cigar. I would have to be honest and say I would not buy a box of 25. But to mix it up, I would love to have this cigar every so often.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Mc-LE-08-Sub-10.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-366" title="Montecristo Sublime 2008" src="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Mc-LE-08-Sub-10-150x150.jpg" alt="Another one from the Montecristo family.  The sublime 2008." width="150" height="150" /></a>So last week I reviewed the <a href="http://www.smokehall.com/montecristo-4">Montecristo number four</a>, and this week I move onto the Montecristo Sublime 2008.  This is an easy cigar to praise. One of my favorites of all time. I remember when I first saw this cigar, it was big, dark, and serious. At a whopping 54 ring, a maduro wrapper, and a blend of tobaccos from the very best of vuelta abajo. I will never know why this cigar was not put into normal production.</p>
<p>I was in Havana for a long weekend with buddies when a friend told me I needed to try this cigar. I was staying in Vedado, so the closest Habanos shop was in the Melia Cohiba hotel. Luckily, the shop has a bar and lounge attached. At almost 20 cuc per stick, this cigar better be good. Anything less than excellent would have been considered a failure. We sat down and everyone ordered drinks. I always love a coke or capuccino with my cigars, some guys like scotch, rum, etc… The sugar cuts some of the bite a strong cigar puts on your tongue.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Presentation:</strong></span></p>
<p>Big, imposing, yet very elegant. A dark brown wrapper, smooth and oily. This cigar is sexy. It has a musky, sweet scent to it that gives you an idea of what is to come. Holding this cigar feels like sitting in the driver’s seat of a Ferarri. The only people who are not jealous are the other guys holding the same cigar.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Construction:</strong></span></p>
<p>There is a great deal of skill that goes into rolling a cigar like this. For starters, it’s a limited edition, but more than that, this is a special cigar. Even among the Habanos line, it stands out as something not everyone gets to have. Dark blackish brown outer leaf, clean cut, triple cap at the drivers end.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Taste:</strong></span></p>
<p>As I said, you already know before you light it it is going to be more than just a cigar. As you gather the cutter, lighter, and your favorite beverage in a form of four-play, you finally get to sit back and put fire to leaf. The predraw gives a hint of spice, but once you light it, it is all heavy cream. It lights easily for such a big cigar. The initial draws are a brilliant combination of roasted coffee, cream, dare I say cinnamon, and soft leather. Almost velvet. About five minutes in, the smoke maintains the heavy cream, coffee taste, but gets a little nutty. The draw on this smoke was nothing less than perfect in its resistance. This cigar is a master piece of flavor. It gradually becomes stronger, like hot tub water slowly getting to the right tempeture. Mouthful after mouthful of delicious coffee, cream, nuts, and leather impress you more and more. The burn is a little stubborn, but it is a small price to pay for such a quality smoke.<br />
This isn’t a cheap cigar, but a cigar like this should be copared with kobe beef, Louis 13 cognag, or a Ferrari. You are getting the very best, and it is slightly more expensive than cigars of far lowere quality.</p>
<p><strong><em>Try this cigar.</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/images1.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-359" title="Montecristo 4" src="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/images1-150x150.jpeg" alt="Montecristo number 4" width="150" height="150" /></a>Although I’ve never been into the Montecristo 4, I’ll try to give an objective review on a very popular cigar.</p>
<p>The Monte 4 falls between my two main preferences. I generally prefer either a very large ring guage, or a shorter cigar to give me a fix until I have more time to relax. This stick is neither of them.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Presentation:</strong></span></p>
<p>There is nothing special about the appearance of this cigar. It actually looks very plain and ordinary. The Colorado outer leaf is smooth, not really oily, nor does it have any type of sheen that would attract the unknowing smoker.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Construction:</strong></span></p>
<p>The construction of the Monte 4 is unassuming. Very modest, played down band. But fundamentally a very well build cigar. It usually is a bit firm to the touch. I would say this firmness is deceptive of how it smokes.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Taste:</strong></span></p>
<p>For the size of this cigar, it is deceptively strong. Full flavor comes from an abundant amount of smoke it provides for a small cigar. Dry, woody and just a little cream, almost salty. Lush is the word I would use to describe the way the first third smokes. It is still a medium smoke at this point.</p>
<p>As this cigar burns down to begin the second third, it starts to smoke a little warmer. It starts to get a little sweet as the nicotine concentrates into the remaining tobacco and creates a spicy bite on the tip of your tongue. I had to correct the burn just a little at this point, as it was starting to run. I never have very good luck with corrections, as it usually continues and distracts me from the smoke in my hand.<br />
The third section is more distinct. It gets a little hot, but that may be due to the corrections I’ve made, or over compensated. This cigar finishes well, despite thise inconveniences.</p>
<p>As I said, it’s a good smoke, but not much to my taste and the way I enjoy cigars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/large_partagas-2-5.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-357" title="5 Partgas 2's" src="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/large_partagas-2-5-150x150.jpg" alt="Partagas 2 review" width="150" height="150" /></a>I first smoked this cigar because it was a gift. A buddy of mine gave me a couple to put in my humifor. By accident, I grew to like it.</p>
<p>The Partagas 2 is as classic as it gets. It demands respect as both a full flavor cigar, and a well built frame that makes it easy to smoke.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Presentation:</span></strong></p>
<p>If I have to pick a word to desribe this cigar, it would be rustic. It has a dark tan outer leaf, a few very neat veins, and an amazing draw. The Partagas 2 has a nice sexy wrapper that is both oily, with that tobacco ‘dust’ that you find on great cigars. It’s pyramid shape makes it feel great in your hand, and it’s large 52 ring guage makes sure you’ll have plenty of smoke to occupy you in the process. When I cut this cigar and tested the draw, I was greeted with cocoa and cedar. A very dry, very mellow cigar.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Construction:</strong></span></p>
<p>This is a very wel built cigar, as I lit it, it took to the fire and produced and nice, even round orange start. At no point during the process did I need to correct the burn. The fullness of the flavor and eveness of the draw give you enough smoke that you don’t find yourself wanting more. Therefore, you can sit back and relax and enjoy this classic without worries. The last one I smoked was a little bit on the loose side concerning the draw. But not anywhere near loose enough that would make it burn too quickly. Once I cut it, the wrapper held intact and I did not need to adjust anything.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Taste:</span></strong></p>
<p>The word Partagas to me is associated with a certain flavor cigars normally come in. Aside from the Salomones, most Partagas cigars I have smoked have a distinct taste, much like the Bolivar. This cigar is potent with it’s smoke output and nicotene content. It has that peppery zesty flavor mixed with a little salt that makes for a very distinct taste.This cigar was no different.</p>
<p>I would have to say that the Partagas flavor is an aquired taste, but once you aquire it, it stays with you.</p>
<p>The first third gives you a heavy cloud of rich blue smoke, filled with that Habanos trademark flavor. I was able to draw effortlessly and get very thick mouthfulls of smoke. What a treat. The cocoa and leather notes become more pronounced as you near the end of the first third. The second third it stayed dry and gave me the beginings of a dry spell. A good dry spell. This cigar is a classic because it is consistent. As the second third came to a close, the smoke slowly became more and more peppery and salty. The massive amount of smoke that had poured through this cigar in the first two thirds were starting to alter the flavor of the last third. As the smoke began to get very spicy and a little less sweet.</p>
<p>I keep saying I’m going to make this cigar one of the utility smokes in my humidor, but I keep putting it off. Hopefully, you won’t…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/cohiba-maduro-genios-25.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-362" title="Cohiba Genios" src="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/cohiba-maduro-genios-25-150x150.jpg" alt="Cohiba Genios Review" width="150" height="150" /></a>The <em>Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios</em> was released in early 2007 in one of three formats. But is by far the most popular of the Maduro 5.</p>
<p>The Genios is a respectably sized cigar. With a 52 ring and just shy of the length of the Siglo 6. It has a dark and oily outer leaf and almost looks too exotic to smoke in regular rotation. The Siglo 6 is my favorite cigar, so this Maduro isn’t a big jump from what I’m used to. I would compare it to having a dark chocolate treat when you’ve been on a diet of milk chocolate.</p>
<p>For starters, the Box is damn sexy. A fine black lacquer finish. When you open it, you see the elegant dark, oily cigars lined up with the flush Cohiba logo, with a slight twist. This cigar is definitely for show and tell at your local smoke shop. It’s like pulling up in a new porsche.</p>
<p>Before you even light this cigar, the expectations are high from a packaging stand point. As sexy as it looks, it needs to deliver well to not disappoint. Fortunately, it does deliver. It’s pretty different than pretty much anything in the Cohiba line. But still quite elegant.</p>
<p>The pepper and spice are immediately present when you light it. It gives you a mouth full of strong, spicy smoke. This cigar isn’t for amateurs. It generally burns smoothly and evenly. Not too much of a kick, yet full body.</p>
<p>You always have to be cautious when a cigar is this full from the start. A shot of pepper and heavy wood are the first impressions it delivers. As the smoke burns, it gives you a peppery chocolate taste, keeping the earthy body the whole time. It doesn’t really get too over bearing as you would think a cigar that starts off so strong would. It mellows out about a third of the way down and stays complex until it gets down to the last part of the cigar, then it gets intense. Like I said, this is way too complicated of a cigar to smoke every day. I prefer to rotate it into a steady diet of medium cigars, or to treat myself when some event in life has gone my way.</p>
<p><strong><em>This cigar is not cheap.</em> </strong>Just as well, as the specialness would be ruined if you smoked it too often. What I really like about this cigar is that it improves quite a bit the longer you let it sit in your humidor. It seems the rest takes a little of the punch out and it becomes smoother, more mellow, and more depth to it.</p>
<p>Habanos has rarely had a Maduro that has done well long term the same as the Maduro 5 series. Usually, Habanos launches Maduros as a limited edition. But this cigar is a nice addition to the Cohiba line, as well as Habanos as a whole.</p>
<p>Because of the price point, and the strength of this cigar, and depending on your situation, this is the perfect share box to split up with a few buddies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/FireBrand1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-312" title="FireBrand1" src="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/FireBrand1.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="180" /></a>Firebrand electronic cigarettes brand distinguishes itself from others by using unique designs and exclusive technologies. Unlike other brands in the market, Firebrand produces quality centered e-cigs and accomplishes a unique design that will most likely attract those who like rough designs. By rough designs we mean that a Firebrand cigarette does not have a traditional cigarette design, but instead gives you an outlook complete with gun metal finishes mostly in black color.<span id="more-285"></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Design</strong></span></p>
<p>Firebrand offers both 2 part and 3 part construction design for its electronic cigarettes. The 2 part design consists of a cartomizer, while the 3 part design comes with a separate atomizer and liquid refillable cartridges. One of the best things about Firebrand is that each e-cigarette has a given name which makes the user easily connect with the e-cig according to his/her tastes. Additionally, the design also feels a little bulkier compared to other electronic cigarettes and especially a traditional tobacco filled cigarette.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Start Kits</strong></span></p>
<p>Firebrand offers a variety of starter kits for both of its 2 part and 3 part electronic cigarettes. Each kit comes with a basic and premium edition to suit your needs. Firebrand offers <a href="http://www.smokehall.com">three kinds of electronic cigarettes</a> which include the Diablo Falcon, Millennium Cyclone and the Millennium.

</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition to all the things that are offered within the starter kits, Firebrand also offers full 30 day money back guarantee.

Since there is nothing to lose, it’s a great idea to try out one of these.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Flavors</strong></span></p>
<p>Firebrand offers a huge list of different flavors to pick up from. If you are into trying different flavor or generally enjoy a lot of flavors to pick from time to time, Firebrand is a good place to start. Here is the complete list of flavors offered in Liquitine form:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tobacco Gold</li>
<li>Tobacco Fury</li>
<li>Arctic Menthol</li>
<li>Super Fuzz</li>

This brand consists of exclusively designed electronic cigarettes for women.

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Design</strong></span></p>
<p>One of the first things you will notice about Vapor Couture is its design. The electronic cigarette itself boasts a very elegant design that will please anyone who has an eye for style.

<p>In addition to its unique and colorful designs, Vapor Couture has also installed a crystal LED light on the tip of the battery. This crystal LED is available in different colors but the colors can only be chosen in combination with the battery designs. The LED light lights up when the cigarette is puffed on.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Starter Kits</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Accessories</strong></span></p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, Vapor Couture has a strong emphasis on style and is targeted at women who have an eye for style. The company has some very decent and high quality accessories that go in combination with your electronic cigarette. Here is a complete list of accessories offered by Vapor Couture:</p>
<ul>
<li>VC Clutch Bag &#8211; $44.95<br />
the VC Clutch bag is available in three different colors and is made with etched leatherette fabric.

Additional notches are provided to put in extra cartridges. A small pocket is also available that lets you hold your charger. A mirror on the side is also included. Additionally the clutch can also hold credit cards and other essentials on its outside pocket.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>VC Bracelet and Charm &#8211; $12.95<br />
the Vapor Couture Bracelet comes in four different designs to go with your electronic cigarette. The charm acts as a holder for your VC e-cig and can be worn over the wrist.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.smokehall.com/go/EverSmoke/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-321" title="EverSmoke4" src="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/EverSmoke4.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="182" /></a>Being a fairly new brand in the market, Eversmoke has earned itself quite reputation and is receiving great feedback from people who use this electronic cigarettes brand. One of the most striking features of the brand is its quality and design of the e-cigarette it manufactures. Eversmoke has done well when it comes to its customers by giving them a wide variety of flavors and starter kits to choose from. One look at the website of the brand gives you the idea how serious they are when it comes to producing <a href="http://www.smokehall.com">quality e-cigarettes</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-266"></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Design</strong></span></p>
<p>Eversmoke e-cigarettes closely resemble the traditional tobacco filled cigarettes. The company claims that its e-cigarettes are as close as you can get to a real cigarette in terms of taste and looks. The electronic cigarette itself is crafted with a two part design. Starting from the top, it contains a signature glowing orange crystal tip which lights up as you puff on it. The battery comes next which is available in three different colors and holds the logo of the company at the end of its tip. On the bottom, the atomizer is built-in on the mouth piece followed by the flavor cartridge and a silicon tip to give you a near realistic feeling of the real thing and prevent leakage of the liquid nicotine from its cartridge.</p>
<p>Since the e-cigarette is two part design, it is fairly easy to construct. This makes sure that every time you decide to change the cartridge, all you would need to do twist and turn the mouth piece and attach another one. Eversmoke also uses a technology called VaporMax to give a smooth feeling when you puff on the cigarette and produces maximum flavor at the same time.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Starter Kits</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.smokehall.com/go/EverSmoke/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-322" title="EverSmoke2" src="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/EverSmoke2-271x300.jpg" alt="" width="271" height="300" /></a>Eversmoke has a wide range of starter kits available for its customers.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.smokehall.com"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-368" title="Romeo &amp; Julieta Churchill 1875" src="http://www.smokehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/ROMEO_CHURCHILL-150x150.jpg" alt="The 1875 by Romeo &amp; Julieta" width="150" height="150" /></a>The Romeo &amp; Julieta brand was introduced in 1875. It immediately won awards and critical acclaim. Its brand exploded shortly after Jose Rodriguez bought it. Named after the tragic lovers in Shakespeare’s play, the brand gained instant recognition. This cigar specifically, named in honor of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_the_United_Kingdom">British Prime Minister</a> who was an avid cigar afficianado. Jose Rodriquez died in 1954, but this brand, and this cigar have survived him.<br />
As a smoke, this cigar is as classic as they come. Popular among occasional and experienced smokers alike. This was a pre revolution release, and it has been in style ever since. I’ve rarely heard any words other than praise for this cigar, and the brand as a whole. Nor have my experiences been anything but pleasant while smoking this cigar.<br />
The appearance of this cigar is smooth. A long, tan, lightly oiled wrapper with very few visible veins. It is soft to the touch, and the ring is classy and bright red. The smell is a sweet, almost perfume smell. Very distinct among Habanos.<br />
While being soft, yet firm, it feels like a cigar that has been constructed perfectly. With just the right amount of filling. It has the trademark triple-cap on the tip of the cigar. When it is cut, it cuts clean, showing the classic Habanos format.</p>
<p>The Churchill lights well, taking an even burn and a full, smooth first pull in the process. The draw gives the perfect amount of resistance, not too much work, not too much air. The fragrance leaf really comes out as you get under way. Giving you a very distinct flavor at the exactly precise amount of labor involved with a nice smoke. The aroma is a very particular citrus, mixed with leather.</p>
<p>It gets started very light; almost giving you the idea it will be an unfulfilling smoke. The amount of smoke it gives you seems almost filtered. But as it gets going, the taste gradually becomes more present and the result towards the end of the first third is a kaleidoscope of flavors. Mostly sweet. This reminds me of a dessert cigar with all its sweetness and coffee flavors. The coffee and candy type flavor is very pronounced at the end of the first third. Paying dividends for the patience you gave getting to this point. Like a piece of cake you get rewarded for eating your vegetables.</p>
<p>The middle section of this cigar is a treat, as it stays consistent with the end of the first third. Tasting almost like cinnamon toast. The caramel, cinnamonish flavors are slowly getting stronger. Becoming more robust. As it gets to the end of the middle section, it starts producing stronger, richer smoke. The smoke trail becomes a bright blue, and the nicotine content is more in line with a Cohiba. The medium, yet smooth body of this smoke is like dessert after a great meal.</p>
<p><strong><em>I’ve smoked 3-4 of this cigar in a day before.</em> </strong>Or a box in as little as 2 weeks once I get hooked on them. This cigar is priced very moderately for the premium Habanos line. A value to any afficianado.</p>

Very few long term smokers will doubt this cigar has earned its place among the top selling stogeys on the planet. Mostly because of the consistent taste. It is one of the most complex and tasteful cigars on the market.  I&#8217;m happy to share with you all my <strong><em>Montecristo #2 review</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Everything about this cigar gives it the look of regal simplicity. No fancy colors, no shiny band, just a simple brown, elegant label, and the most classic of looks, the torpedo. It starts with near perfect construction. It burns more consistently than any other cigar you can buy from anywhere, and the smoke it provides is true to its brand.<br />
There due tend to be some post cut unravelling issues from time to time. Usually easily fixed by licking the loose leaf.</p>
<p>The smoke begins a little on the mild side, giving a well balanced approach to cream and spicey character. It eases its way into a strong cedar and wood taste, all the while holding to its creamy nature. It gradually progresses into a stronger leather and earth flavor towards the end of this smoke. Supplying the strength to all those frequent smokers who until now were wondering when they would get the punch. And like many of the Montecristo line, it provides the balance of strength and smoothness that Monte smokers have come to expect from their favorite stogey.<br />
Few cigars are looked forward to from aficionados like th Montecristo 2. Many Monte smokers suffer from impatience while having this cigar in his humidor. It’s hard to honor a rotation when you have a respectable number if these in you humidor. Many long term smokers will suggest letting this cigar age, pulling them out sparingly to preserve the taste range in your box. Whether you wait or indulge, most would agree that any time is a great time for a Monte 2.</p>
