Another notch in the Garo Habano belt today with the Maduro. You can read more about Garo Habano on their website (www.garohabano.com) and also take a look at the other reviews of this line on the site. The Maduro line comes in 4 Vitolas all in the 50+ Ring Gauge range and are [...]

My next Garo Habano up for review is the Centum. Out of all the samples we received this one was the most visually appealing to me because of the wonderful color on the wrapper and the antique looking band. The way the text is written sort of reminded me of an old carnival [...]

Steve Saka at Drew Estate was kind enough to have a few of these sent my way, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Again, I am a Liga Privada fanboy so just knowing that there [...]

The weather in El Paso, Texas has been rockin’ the last few days. Outside of the random bursts of rain, I have had the pleasure of soaking up some much needed sun. When the great weather starts to come into play, so does my outdoor cigar smoking enjoyment. Not wasting any time I jumped right [...]
