We are about to receive our first rain in a long time here in the desert. While the storms are brewing I snuck outside to enjoy the weather with one of Drew Estate’s Liga Privada Unico Serie Velvet Rats. The Good Stuff: This is only the second Velvet Rat that I have had the pleasure [...]
Well hello there! I took a few snow days of last week. That’s right, SNOW in El Paso. And lots of it! 6 inches to be exact. While we were thawing out down south Daniel was trying to stay warm with 7 degrees temperatures. Winter isn’t being kind to us this year, but that isn’t [...]
As the Casas household is already decorating for Christmas, I decided to sneak out back and light up a cigar. This week’s choice is the limited edition Daruma made by Room 101/Camacho cigars.

Wow, we have some rocking weather here in El Paso. We’ll be in high 60’s and into the 70’s all week. Wasting no time I ran right outside to bring you a review I have been waiting to get to, Jaime Garcia’s Reserva Especial Limited Edition 2011 Shade. The Good Stuff: I reviewed the broadleaf [...]

Plus the influx of drinks consumed this weekend weren’t bad either. Sun setting the weekend in style, I am brining you a very interesting cigar, Drew Estate’s [...]
