Last Saturday, January 30, the first edition of “La Lenta de España” was held, an event full of good tobacco lovers enjoying the experience of smoking… slow… as slow as possible!   [  ]

Last Wednesday we had an expected pairing between the KOLUMBUS K-Rojo Robustito and the armagnac Samalens V.S.O.P. More than a pairing, it turned out to be...   [  ]

The holiday season is upon us… time to flood the kitchen with enticing fragrances that’ll delight our guests; to gather around the crackling fireplace and tune our voices for a caroling session…   [  ]

In the nineteenth century there was a massive migration of Canaries to Cuba to cover the need for labor that existed in the sector. It is there, when the Canaries began to perfect the harvest of tobacco and rolling.   [  ]

We are pleased to welcome Kolumbus as a new member of the Quality “Luxury Spain Lifestyle” from the Spanish Luxury Association – Luxury Spain.   [  ]

When thinking in a good cigar, our mind inevitably leads us to American lands. To Cuba, to the Dominican Republic, to Nicaragua… However, there are premium cigars “made in Spain” among the best in the world.   [  ]

Kolumbus has reason to celebrate! We have entered in the prestigious ratings of Cigar Journal magazine, amongst the best Premium cigars with our KOLUMBUS K-Negro Piramide!   [  ]

KOLUMBUS, Canarian cigars brand, starred the first pairing in the new school year of the Noble Club of Fumadores de Córdoba, in the location of Sierra de Lucena, where in the Hotel Sierra de Araceli they received a warm reception…   [  ]

This is getting hotter than Niki Lauda’s seat. In the Pepinazo 2018 list, with three votes, eleven cigars share the position 38. I remind you that there are 561 valid votes, which have been distributed among 174 cigars, and having obtained…   [  ]

It has taken me many years to go from being a mere amateur to being immersed in a more active way in the world of good tobacco, and this has helped me reach high levels of enjoyment. And it is precisely this world one that least disappoints…   [  ]

Before we start talking about today’s cigar, we have to do one thing, stand up and clap to Marc Ripoll, Sergio de Suñer and Pedro de Ponte. To clap like crazy to whom decides to support the recover of the Canarian tobacco, for betting for Spain…   [  ]

On a Friday in the summer of 2015, Tropical Storm Erika, feared and longed-for, decide to take the path to Santiago de los caballeros, the capital city of the Cibao valley, to the Dominican Republic, where we were waiting, anxious and hopeful…   [  ]

The second edition of the golf tournament organized by The Ritz-Carlton, Abama, held on last Saturday, September 1 at the Abama Golf course, located on the…   [  ]

KOLUMBUS K-Rojo audio review by Chris Allen (@bigsixchris) and Cory Allen from @TheHotTicketPod.   [  ]

Suddenly, two brave young men appear, cigar lovers (there is the passion and the permission of Burkina to be manufacturers) that have faith in the Canarian tobacco, Marc Ripoll and Sergio Suñer, and create KOLUMBUS. The brand name has its…   [  ]

Just few months ago the Premium KOLUMBUS cigars originally from the island of La Palma, have began to arrive to the Spanish mainland with a clear commitment to…   [  ]

Something extraordinary happened again on Monday. Long time ago, when my daughter Ana was five or six years old and was more alive and clever than a squirrel, I caught her with a bottle of whiskey opened in her hands…   [  ]

Bob Finley, aka, Bob The Cigar Guy is by far one of the most entertaining cigar reviewers on the web! Click below to view his channel and review of the rare KOLUMBUS K-Azul from the Canary Islands of Spain!!!   [  ]

KOLUMBUS K-Rojo Piramide video review by John and Big Dan from @BackPorchCigarReviews.   [  ]

In these pages, we like to give a voice to those cigars introduced in the Spanish market. Particularly when these novelties speak our language and arrive thanks to the glorious climate of the Canary Islands. In the next few weeks they will take center stage in…   [  ]

A new cigar company is bursting with his own éclat, something almost unusual in the Canarian world, where the crisis and prohibitions have been and are the main protagonists of these last years with the closure of many cigar factories or ‘chinchales’…   [  ]

KOLUMBUS K-Rojo Piramide video review by Mike Simmons from @thecigararea.   [  ]

As I have once mentioned, in smoking cigars I particularly enjoy experiments with new exotic flavors. I always lit with great excitement a cigar which comes from a non traditional region of manufacturing or which is hiding in itself an interesting…   [  ]

There are neuroconections that through experiences we must take for granted: to check the accounting entries and to enter drowsiness, to read Eça de Queiros and to feel like to drink champagne. There is where you find also a necessary correlation…   [  ]

Smoking a premium cigar is, for many people, the equivalent to the pleasure of drinking a good whiskey or tasting an quality wine. From cutting off his head to blow it without swallowing the tasty smoke of a robusto…   [  ]

Next week, cigar lovers, we all have a new meeting at Club Puro Ocio. A new cigar tasting on Thursday November 3rd, between 7pm and 9pm. You will enjoy the company of Marc Ripoll and his KOLUMBUS cigars…   [  ]

There are stories that are well worth experiencing. It could even be that they all fit in a cigar or that the cigars are the means to put all the stories together, specially if someone believes that there is nothing like sharing a good conversation…   [  ]

It is a relatively young company, but it cannot be said that they haven’t maximized their time. What emerged as a question in a wedding (“Why aren’t there palmeros cigars in a canary celebration?”) led to the first tasting until finding the perfect…   [  ]

Buying cigars in the Canary Islands is cheaper than on the mainland (havanos up to 30% cheaper) albeit being difficult to find variety. You must get whatever you find. There are few well-stocked cigar shops and, those that are, have a…   [  ]

It doesn’t matter if you’re more into whiskey, rum, gin or vodka. Each drink has its good cigar. ‘Birds of a feather flock together’, we read on the blackboard at school, but they never taught us the end of the saying: ‘and each cigar with its drink’.   [  ]

The KOLUMBUS K-Rojo is very complex, and one of the most unique and naturally sweet tasting cigars I have ever had. Hailing from Spain, this is a delicious stick.   [  ]

He is as respected in the golf circuit for his victories (21 single titles and four Ryder Cup) as he is for his sense of humor. The Pisha, 52, married to an Austrian, understands the pleasures of life. Driving his Ferrari, a fresh chamomile and…   [  ]

The cold draw brought notes of cedar and a sweet oak-like taste to the palate. The first few draws had a very small hint of spice followed by a very deep hardwood cedar-like taste. After a view draws-closer to the 2nd 3rd, the spice…   [  ]

KOLUMBUS Premium Cigars are located in La Palma, Spain. All of their cigars are handmade and seasoned in Spanish cedar cellars. I was anxious to try these cigars, the pictures and description piqued my interest. The cigar I decided…   [  ]

Immediate notes of cedar, sweet toasty hints on the palate… almost marshmallow-like. The first few draws were extremely rich, with a mild spice and creamy finish. If you’ve followed my other reviews and instagram posts…   [  ]

I recently came across this cigar company on Instagram (follow me @smoothdrawreview). Their website is super classy and elegant. As soon as I saw the first photo of one of their cigars, I knew I had to get my hands on one.   [  ]

The new boom and the old nobility of tobacco in the island of La Palma, the great unknown in the cigar’s world. Secret connecting galleries between Cuba and the Canary Islands have been constant since Columbus stopped on their journey…   [  ]

A few months ago I was given a trio of cigars from the Canary Islands by the name of KOLUMBUS made in La Palma. I’ve already critiqued the blue label so I thought I’d let some time go by and review a different wrapper. This time I picked…   [  ]

Just as some background information, when we first started Cigar Sages, one of the first things that came about was our Instagram page. One of the first accounts we ran into was a page called KOLUMBUS Cigars, a company out of Spain making…   [  ]

We no longer want to commit to long-term pairings, so that is why we fear not being understood when we talk about cigars and Port wines. It is nevertheless a natural and lucky city council, a marriage that combines as well as…   [  ]

I save every band off of each cigar I smoke. And they are placed in an envelope in the order I smoked them. No notes, I have a good memory from the band (most of the time). This was my busiest year for trying new cigars. I didn’t count the…   [  ]

When Julian Jaynes came out with “The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind” (1976), it was a book that not only had a long title, but left an incredible impression on some of the great thinkers and writers of the day.   [  ]

As we said in the previous post, a gift is not something banal, so it may be time for us to consider giving cigars as a gift. However if you are a non smoker you may find yourself in the most absolute darkness. As we love to smoke and we…   [  ]

Among the novelties we found in the last few months, we can not leave out KOLUMBUS. It is very good news that the palmeros cigar market is resurging with cigars such as Finca El Sitio and these KOLUMBUS of which we talk today.   [  ]

I just now received from Spain (well, not just now, it was earlier in the day, and truthfully it was given to me by the UPS guy, but you get the picture) a gorgeous tripak of KOLUMBUS Premium Cigars from Managing Director Marc Ripoll. And I must say I am…   [  ]

We are witnessing these days the promising launch of Kolumbus, a premium cigar brand from La Palma, specially made for the international market. This initiative, along with some others in the recent years, serves to draw a hopeful map for…   [  ]
