Rodrigo Cigars La Fortaleza Cinco 5

So I need to apologize for my absence lately, been getting overwhelmed at work and on top of that I managed to catch the flu. Even better, the temps here were absolutely insane last week with one day clocking in at -18 FARENHEIT! Yes, -18F! Pretty insane if you ask me! But I’m back this [...]

Illusione ~888~ Maduro

Today’s cigar is one I’ve been waiting to do for awhile. I think it’s pretty clear from some of my past reviews that I’m a pretty big fan of Dion Giolitto’s, especially his original Illusione line up. So when I heard there was going to be a few Maduro blends added to the lineup I [...]

Miami Cigar – Añoranza

This week has been a blur. The week before? A blur. The week before that? You guessed it, a blur. I just can’t seem to get ahead of the game. But one thing I haven’t slacked it on it getting my reviews done. This week, one of Miami Cigar’s newest installments, the Añoranza. The Good [...]

Why I was MIA – Part 1

I’ve been missing in action lately so I thought it would only be fair to tell you all what I’ve been doing all this time. And since it’s a cigar website, I would have to mix in some cigar info too! haha. So here we are, back again in the Great White North. Apparently there [...]

Quick Draw Episode 7 – Padilla La Terraza Capa Habano

HELLLLOOOOO Friends! I’m back! I can’t really say I’m happy to be back, I’d much rather be on a beach somewhere but I’m back nonetheless! I landed back in Canada on late Wednesday so I didn’t have much time this week for a full review or anything but I decided to put together a nice [...]

Padron Family Reserve No. 44

So this week I kicked off my new job! It’s been quite a whirlwind week but so far everything is going awesomely and the change was a great idea. Now on Monday I decided to do a little celebrating and squeeze in a review while I was at it. I peeked around the humidor and [...]

Morro Castle by A.J. Fernandez

Today I’m diving into a cigar made by the very popular A.J. Fernandez. AJ’s cigars and me seem to have a love and hate relationship. There are some that I absolutely enjoy and some that are just not quite my profile. So today I’ll be lighting up a Morro Castle Belicoso and see where the [...]

Viaje Late Harvest 2011

Today I’m hitting up a brand I don’t get to smoke too often. From what I seem to read they are probably the most limited boutique brand I seem to have come across. Even people residing in the US have trouble finding them due to the limited distribution. The brand I’m referring to Viaje, who [...]

Movember Fundraiser/Contest Winners!

Well Movember has come to a close and I think the results will speak for themselves. Aside from growing an awesome Snidely Whiplash-like stash, we were also able to raise a grand total of just over $600 to go towards cancer research! That’s pretty amazing! Let’s see what the final Mo’ turned out to be… [...]
