Review: Aquitaine Blockhead (Preproduction)

Since the launch of RoMaCraft Tobac in January 2012, the company has quickly expanded into three full lines of cigars, each of which contain a number of event-only, limited availability cigars. The RoMaCraft Tobac website offers a good amount of detail about the Aquitaine, noting that the filler leaf comes from three separate areas of [...]

Redux: Intemperance BA XXI The Intrigue

A little over a year ago we provided an early look at the second release for Skip Martin and Michael Rosales’ RoMa Craft Tobac. To say the duos freshman and sophomore releases were a stark contrast is an understatement. Whereas CroMagnon is known for its grittiness and power, Intemperance is a line noted for finesse. [...]

Review: CroMagnon Atlatl

While at the IPCPR show earlier in the year, the folks at RoMa Craft handed us a sample of a new vitola they were playing with, the CroMagnon Atlatl or CroMagnon Lancero. While the Atlatls in both the CroMagnon and Aquitaine blends have been handed out at various events for the last few months, they have [...]

Review: Intemperance EC XVIII The Faith (Prerelease)

Last week, Charlie reviewed the Intemperance BA XXI The Intrigue, a new cigar from RoMa Craft Tobac. As was mentioned in the review, there were four vitolas in two different wrappers. Today’s review is of one of those other vitolas in the other wrapper, the Intemperance ECX VIII The Faith. Charlie did most of the [...]

Review: Intemperance BA XXI The Intrigue (Prerelease)

Earlier this year, Skip Martin and Michael Rosales announced the creation of RoMa Craft Tobac, the new parent of Martin’s Hava Cigar Shop/Galveston Bay Tobacco and Rosales’ Adrian’s/Costa Rican Imports. The pair first teamed up in 2011 for the launch of the CroMagnon, which had a rather successful initial launch, earning sixth place honors on [...]
