Review: Paul Stulac Miami Style

Stallone Alagan Review: The Experience
Score Justification: Both samples had some pretty severe construction issues. One tunneled to the point that it would not stay lit and the other required several touch ups.
Final Thoughts: This cigar had potential flavor wise, but construction really ruined the experience. The burn issues caused the flavors to become bitter, which is a real shame considering the flavor notes I got were enjoyable.  All that being said, I wouldn’t shy away from smoking another one. Maybe third time’s a charm?
Stallone Alagan Review: The Brand

Paul Stulac’s love for cigars led him to Miami two decades ago, where he found himself in the heart of the new Havana, Calle Ocho. After navigating through a few run-ins with shady characters, he met his partner, Guillermo. A year later, their cigar, White Blinding Light, was featured as the cigar to smoke by Robb Report. Despite some challenges in the following years, we discovered an aged batch of his cigars and instantly fell in love. Paul and I have been good friends ever since. A massive Miami Vice fan, Paul and his friends are organizing the show’s 40th-anniversary celebration in Miami this September. The cigar featured at this event is made at their factory, Las Villas, in Esteli, Nicaragua.
