Beanz: Leaf, Greenville, OH (2025)

06/20/2025

Smoking a cigar doesn't make you cool. But with the right sartorial choices, it sure can look cool. With the heat and humidity about to descend on the country, looking cool with your stogie is probably not high on your list of priorities. Shorts and a t-shirt will do you just fine as you hide in the shade (or air conditioning if you've turned your garage into a makeshift cigar lounge) and enjoy your stick from Beanz: Leaf. We have plenty of new selections to entice you, along with our older inventory which is aging quite nicely in the humidor. Stop in and buy a few for your weekend!

After too many months, hiding and skulking in this dark chamber or that dank garage, an aficionado gets a little tired of enjoying his cigar under cover. He wants to get out into the fresh air and muck it up a bit with his satisfying plume of blue-gray smoke. But this spring weather didn't get the memo that the cigar smokers are ready for weather that's not cool, dreary, and wet. Somebody with a direct line needs to reach out to Mother Nature and request a reprieve.

Until that time, a true aficionado will make do. And Beanz: Leaf is right there with him. We have plenty of new sticks on hand to satisfy your craving. Stop in and see us soon!

Something that never occurred to us until we saw this Louis Armstrong demonstration: A cigar can be an instrument. We have yet to try this ourselves, but we're kicking around the idea of starting a cigar band. We figure different styles of cigar could be fashioned into all kinds of instruments: a kazoo, a trumpet, and probably even a flute. This is virgin territory for us, and we're pretty excited to get the boys together to start making sweet tobacco-infused noise.

But this could be hard on a cigar. We recommend you leave this experiment to the experts. You can stick to just smoking your Beanz: Leaf cigar of choice and we'll conduct the musical experiment. And there's no time like the present to come in and peruse our latest selections. We might even play you a little ni****ne ditty as you shop.

It's time for mother nature to stop monkeying around and deliver us all some consistent springtime weather. After all, there are ci**rs to be smoked, and we're getting pretty impatient. True, we can rough it out and hide in the garage or under the eve spouts, but it would be so much better to lounge in the evening light and warmth and enjoy our billows of smoke in the midst of a light breeze and a comfortable conversation.

Regardless of the weather, however, the Beanz: Leaf humidor has plenty of new offerings to tempt your palate.

It's past time for the March installment of The Beanz: Leaf Aficionado of the Month. There's something about these late winter and early spring days that slows me down to a crawl.

For March, we featured Andrew Costa. Aficionado Sean and Aficionado Matt picked out the Prensado Robusto by Alec Bradley for the month's selection. Andrew's review of the cigar is offered to you below. Stop in to the shop to sample one for yourself.

Andrew's Review of the Presado Robusto by Alec Bradley:

I was recently invited to offer a review of the Alec Bradley Prensado. A fun challenge on two fronts: first off, I never really write reviews of anything, and I usually smoke lighter Connecticut ci**rs. At the same time, the ABP has a Nicaraguan wrapper, binder, and filler—and Nicaraguan ci**rs are usually my preference.

As far as presentation goes, I was smoking a Robusto (5-inch). Among its Maduro peers, it was not overly dark (remember my preference for lighter), and the cigar was generally well made. The removal of the band did not affect the wrapping, and as I smoked it, it did not fray. I smoked my ABP all the way down, and the cigar held together marvelously.

Now, as far as the cigar’s flavor, it was subtle to the point of being underwhelming. Yes, the cigar started with a bit of sweetness, then got earthy about halfway through, and it was consistent with the flavor it did have all the way to the finish. When I checked in with some other reviews, it was pointed out that the popularity of the ABP meant it was being produced fast—maybe leading to some diminished quality.

I am new to the cigar world, so I do not want to throw stones too quickly—and being underwhelmed does not mean bad. It means that, for a Connecticut smoker, I expected a little more of a “wall of flavor.” On the other hand, I was afraid of being overwhelmed, and that never happened.

The quality of the build and the consistency of this cigar make it a good value at $12–$13. I think those who prefer a darker cigar are going to know immediately what they’re getting into with this one, and lighter cigar fans can use the ABP as an entry-level cigar. If you’re anxious to try one—and I would recommend you do, to see if I got this one right—pop on over to Beanz and check with Sean. He’ll set you right up.

The Beanz: Leaf Cigar of the Month for March is the Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto. What follows is Aficionado Sean and Aficionado Matt's review for the month's selection.

This is a standout cigar that has earned its place among premium offerings. Its dark, oily Honduran Corojo wrapper, cultivated in the Trojes region, encases a rich blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran long-fillers, all meticulously box-pressed to perfection. Upon lighting, the Prensado delivers a robust flavor profile that commands attention. Initial notes of cocoa powder and vanilla intertwine seamlessly with undertones of cedar and subtle hints of dried fruit, creating a harmonious and complex taste experience. As the cigar progresses, a creamy caramel sweetness emerges, complementing the earlier flavors and adding depth to the overall profile. The construction of this cigar is impeccable, offering a smooth draw that produces thick, mouth-coating smoke. While the burn is generally consistent, occasional touch-ups may be necessary to maintain an even line. The finish is long and creamy, with just a touch of pepper to keep the palate engaged.

Notably, the Prensado received a remarkable 96-point rating and was honored as the Top Cigar of 2011 by Cigar Aficionado. The publication praised its stunning appearance and the harmonious blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos, which yield flavors of leather, chocolate, and spice, culminating in a long, lush finish.

The Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto is a rich and flavorful cigar that offers a complex and satisfying smoking experience, worthy of its accolades and recognition in the cigar community.

There comes a time in late winter when it's simply time for the cold weather to see its way out. A man can get a little unhinged waiting for those warmer days when a cigar can be enjoyed during his afternoon ride around the countryside. It is during this time that he is liable to turn to extreme measures to enjoy a stick. Let's hope you don't get too out there in your pursuit of the perfect smoke. But if you do, let a cigar from Beanz: Leaf accompany you on your adventure.

It's time for the February installment of The Beanz: Leaf Aficionado of the Month. If you'd like to be entered into the drawing to be The Beanz: Leaf Aficionado of the Month for March, please share this post to your profile (and make it public so that we can see that you shared it). If you're chosen, you'll receive a free cigar to review (an accompanying picture of you enjoying the cigar is a must).

For February, we featured Jason McGaffic. Aficionado Sean and Aficionado Matt picked out E.P. Carrillo's Short Run 2023 Robusto for the month's selection. Jason's review of the cigar is offered to you below. Stop in to the shop to sample one for yourself.

Jason's Review of Short Run 2023 Robusto by E.P. Carrillo:

Upon first glance this EP Carrillo Short Run 2023 Robusto has a feeling of elegance. Its scripted letters with the simple black yellow color palette seems like something you would smoke playing dominoes in old Cuba. Some cigar bands are garish and over the top to make sure you know exactly who made the cigar, but this one pronounces the maker with a grace rarely seen in more modern boutique ci**rs. There is no mistaking that EP Carrillo is responsible for this.

As I do with all ci**rs I am trying for the first time, I sit a moment and ponder the significance of the band design, what are they trying to convey? Does the band match the feel of the cigar? The size? The smell? Ah, there it is. The smell. This cigar smelled of leather and fresh hay. The gold leaves adorning the band match perfectly with the mental image of a field of golden hay on a warm summer day. It immediately transports me to my family farm in rural Darke County during the late season hay cutting. I suddenly remember playing in the hay lofts as a kid. My eyes are closed and I have a smile across my face holding this cigar to my nose. Good ci**rs taste and smell good, great ci**rs invoke memories. This, I can already tell, will be a great cigar.

The dry draw is more of the same but richer. The leather and hay comes through strongly now, there is an interesting earthiness now that wasn’t there earlier. The cigar tastes good on the lips. There is zero bitterness on the leaf. You can tell the cigar maker is meticulous about the leaves used for this cigar.

Rolling this cigar around in my fingers you find wonderful consistency in the feel. There are no soft spots or extra hard spots along the entire length. Now it's time to light ‘er up!

Toasting the cigar first, I noticed it toasts very evenly across the diameter. I know what you are thinking, this guy is just writing to write stuff now. I urge you to take this much time just once. To really investigate the cigar you are about to smoke. What you will find is that things like how it toasts can give you a premonition on how the cigar will burn later on. Ok, off the soap box and back to the cigar at hand. This cigar toasts quickly and evenly, and the first puff is wonderful. There is no change in profile other than to say that the earthy, hay, and leather notes just get more pronounced. It's fuller somehow. Suddenly I caught just the barest hint of cocoa and immediately I thought “I need a good cup of coffee ASAP”. Boy oh boy, was that the right decision. With the more savory flavor profile of this cigar, a coffee with sugar or a latte is a wonderful pairing. But the cocoa notes lend itself to being just as good a bedmate with espresso as it is with a latte. What I found really really interesting is that normally smoking this cigar you get almost no pepper, but on the retrohale? Look out. If you are wanting to spice up your smoke with this cigar, a good retrohale will bring out a strong pepper note, emboldens the hay note, and removes the cocoa completely. It becomes a different but equally wonderful cigar completely.

The flavor profile is full but not bold, if that makes sense. You are getting a complete story from this cigar but it is not beating you over the head with it. Medium is where I would place it on the traditional cigar flavor scale.

This cigar from the very first moment to the sad realization that I was finished was an absolute joy. I cannot recommend it enough. I have smoked thousands of ci**rs in my day, and very few do I consider opening the wallet for a box for one reason or another. I think I will order a box soon. I do have a bonus coming…

The Beanz: Leaf Cigar of the Month for February is the Short Run Robusto by E.P. Carrillo.

The E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2023 Robusto is a distinctive addition to the Short Run series, notable for its collaboration with Oscar Valladares in Honduras. This cigar features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers.

Upon lighting, we experienced a harmonious blend of cedar and molasses cookie, complemented by subtle hints of orange peel and mixed pepper spice. As the smoke progressed, flavors of coffee, pepper, cream, and hay emerged, with a touch of bread and leather adding depth. The final third introduced a fuller body profile, where the pepper receded, making way for a creamy coffee essence intertwined with cedar and a hint of leather.

Throughout, the cigar maintained a mild to medium strength, with a medium body that evolved in complexity. Construction was impeccable, offering a perfect draw with just the right amount of resistance, and a razor-sharp burn line that required no attention. The aroma was enticing, with light fruity scents from the foot and pleasant cedar notes from the wrapper.

Overall, this cigar delivered a smooth and light experience, free from bitterness, and increased in complexity as we progressed through the thirds. With plentiful smoke and flawless construction, the E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2023 Robusto is a must-have for any humidor.
