The Brittania Reserva: Cigar Review
smokinghotcigarchick.com Upon lighting the cigar, there was a lovely aroma right away. The first draw produced a creamy smoke with a buttery sweet finish and a subtle hint of spice.

Those are simply what they make me think of, and I couldn’t tell you for certain that is what they are. I bought this cigar during a Kristoff event several weeks ago and have been letting it rest in my humidor since then. I think a little time gives a better perspective for most cigars, especially when tasting for the first or second time and you are making your decision of whether or not this is a style for you.

have ever tryed the cheap but aromatic backwood aromatic?i buy r&j and cohiba robustos as well as other great cubans but the cheap ol backwoods are my favorite

Love to see you smoke a cigar. You look great smoking. Why don’t you do a long video of yourself smoking an entire cigar. Would love that. Thanks for everything. Its always a joy to watch a beautiful girl smoke a cigar.
