For over a year now, I've been dabbling in Cuban cigars and groups geared exclusively around Cuban Cigars. These guys are some of the most knowledgeable people I've met. They are serious about their cigars.
Yes, for some individuals, it is all about the prestige of Cubans. But to be honest, those guys don't tend to be as knowledgeable.

El Rey del Mundo Choix Suprême
Size - Hermoso No. 4 (5 inches by 48 ring gauge)
Wrapper - Cuba
Binder - Cuba
Filler - Cuba
Wrapper
The wrapper is a gorgeous Colorado claro (reddish tan) with thin veins. It is a delicate, thin wrapper and silky smooth to the touch. The triple cap is well applied. The cigar gives off a nice sweet and woodsy smell.
Construction
This cigar is solid and no soft spots are evident. The wrapper is uniform from head to foot. The triple cap holds up well to a guillotine cut, and the draw is a bit stiff but smokable. Prelight flavors are sweet, with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. The ash is a solid medium gray. A bit of a runner occurs halfway down the cigar, but a touch of flame helps it catch up.

I and a group of friendly like-minded spirits lovers often get together to enjoy some good food and – of course! – good whiskies. Over the course of many such gatherings, I’ve had the opportunity to sample whiskies I might not have otherwise tasted. In today’s article, I profile just a few of those whiskies that have, for various reasons, impressed me.

We flew into Las Vegas on a Friday morning and got a ride to the hotel. After a short unpacking and decompression session, we headed for the Convention Center to register, obtain our badges and get our goody bags. We then walked around the lobby areas waiting for the premier showing of Hand Rolled, a cigar documentary.
The movie started off with a history of the modern cigar business in Cuba under Batista, and showed how Castro’s revolution forced most of the families off of their farms. Because the state confiscated their farms and factories, many fled to other countries to pursue their business interests.

Every cigar smoker knows that the Davidoff Company stands for high quality, complexity and, yes, cost. When I was given the opportunity to review The Late Hour, I jumped at the chance. This was my first experience smoking a barrel-aged cigar, and it did not disappoint.
Davidoff ages the three-country blend of tobacco for six months in single malt Scotch whisky casks prior to the fabrication of the cigar. And the Scotch flavor can be noticed throughout the cigar, giving the customer a very unique smoking experience.
