Earlier this year, I had an opportunity to try out the La Jugada Prieto by Moya Ruiz Cigars. I was extremely surprised by how much I enjoyed the cigar. It is actually one of my favorite San Andres Maduro cigars, right behind the Undercrown and Ortega Serie “D”. In my review of the Prieto (See […]
Well here we are again with the final set of 3 in Ortega Cigar Company’s Wild Bunch Series. It seem like it was just yesterday that Eddie and I were talking about how big the undertaking of making 12 different blends in one year would be. This will be the final set of 3 cigars […]
I trust that you had a very relaxing, cigar filled Thanksgiving! Today, I bring to you a Quick Draw of the AFR-75 Edicion Limitada by PDR Cigars. Since PDR Cigars’ website looks as if it has not been updated since 2012, I had to do a little searching to find some information on this cigar. […]
Recently I wrote a review of Romeo y Julieta’s first Nicaraguan Puro cigar to ever hit the market the “RyJ”. I was a great stick, and I personally enjoyed it. While these cigars are starting to hit shelves across the nation, we at Casasfumando.com wanted to get these in the hands of one lucky person […]
We are already diving right into the winter weather here in the desert. 30 degree temps and even a bit of snow. Braving the cold I set out back with an Oliva Saison to celebrate the change in weather. The Good Stuff: Oliva’s Saison is a vintage style blend. Meaning, each year the blend may […]
Thanksgiving is quickly approaching with less than six days to go. I have already made a few trips to different shops around town to load up on my cigars for next Thursday. I look forward to lighting up some stogies with my step-dad, brother, and couple of my good buddies….yes, Tony is included in the […]
Romeo y Julieta have officially released their first all Nicaraguan cigar. The words “Nicaraguan Puro” are almost always music to my ears so I could’t wait to take these out for a spin. The great staff at Altadis USA sent us over a few sticks so that we could share our thoughts on the blend […]
In mid-October, Michel Malek, Executive Vice President of Felix Assouline Cigars, reached out to me to see if I would be interested in reviewing their cigars. Mr. Malek filled me in on the company history, as well as the cigars he would be providing to sample. This was the first time that I had ever […]
We’re experiencing another perfect weather weekend here in El Paso. High’s of mid 70’s and lows of high 40’s. Perfect. And the perfect way to enjoy perfect weather is out on the patio firing up a cigar and having a drink. This week my choice is Drew Estate’s new Nica Rustica paired with Boulevard Brewing […]
Fall-like weather has finally found its way to El Paso and I am not complaining at all. With the temps in the low 70′s during the day, it is perfect cigar smoking weather. However, the change in seasons has caused my allergies to go crazy! Being a little under the weather this week with a […]
