So I’ve been slacking lately, I know, I know… I’d love to say I was somewhere exotic climbing glaciers or diving the Great Barrier Reef or something, but it’s not that exciting. Just work, life, work, work and more work getting in the way of enjoying some fine cigars! But I managed to sneak in [...]
It is that time of the week again for my weekly review. Man, time flies by when you are smoking great cigars! As Tony mentioned in his latest review of the Tatuaje Petite Cazadores Reserva, Tony and I made a purchase from Atlantic Cigar Co. of a box of Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial 2012. [...]
We had a pretty historical weekend here in El Paso. First, the world-famous Asarco smoke stacks where taken down to complete the cleanup on the smelter site. Then our city hall had been demolished to make way for a new AAA ballpark a block away from my work. It’s about time El Paso stepped it [...]
Last year, Tony and I attended Fox Cigar Bar’s Foxtoberfest in Gilbert, Arizona. It was an awesome event where we had opportunity to hang out with BOTL/SOTL and meet several cigar manufactures. Well, the 2013 Foxtoberfest has been scheduled and will take place October 19th. And yours truly will be in attendance. If you are [...]
I haven’t been around as much as I’d like to lately. Some of you may know, there was some issues with my father that needed to be taken care of. Thanks for all your support he is doing much, much better. That being said, I should be back to my normal routine, just in time [...]
At the end of January, I reviewed the Thurman Thomas Hall of Fame Maduro (review can be found here), which ended up being surprisingly pleasant, especially for the price. After a couple of months of rest in my humidor, I decided it was time to break out the Natural version of the Hall of Fame. [...]
I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend and if you celebrated anything such as Easter, Passover or anything, we hope you had a good time. I know I ate way too much and felt like a stuffed turkey on Sunday night! But luckily the weather was warm and I got to enjoy a few cigars [...]
Last week, I bragged about the beautiful weather El Paso has been experiencing so far this spring. One thing I failed to mention is the crazy winds we also experience this time of year that play havoc on my allergies. Since El Paso is a desert, winds mean lots of sand in the air, which [...]
I don’t know if I should call this a revisit, or just a quick draw. Eh, whatever. It’s a quick review of a cigar that I find no matter what, sneaks its way into my daily rotation. No one should really be a stranger to the Henry Clay given it’s past, and how long it [...]
As Northern cities around the U.S. still suffer from what is known as winter (at least temperature wise), El Paso has entered into spring with a bang. With the temps in the mid-80s, it has been perfect for cigar smoking, BBQing, and just hanging outside with family and friends. Since I have been spending more [...]
