In keeping with my excellent non-slacker form, here is this weeks review right on time as it should be! Unlike some other people who claim to be too busy “working”… It’s no news to people keeping up with the cigar industry news that Miami Cigar has been turning out some awesome cigars and making a [...]
Today’s review comes courtesy of our friends over at Smoke Inn who are a wonderful sponsor for our little slice of the cyber pizza. Recently, Tony also reviewed their My Father Cigar El Hijo which was also part of their Microblend Series. This time we have an offering from Padron cigars. It is part of [...]
There always seems to be a few brands that evade me, mostly because I live way up here in the Great White North and the selection on non-Cuban cigars is lacking. Through various trades and gifts I always try to track down as many different sticks as I can to try new ones… but there’s [...]
While most of you south of the border were celebrating Independence Day on July 4th, us Northerners were actually celebrating Canada day on July 1st. The actual meaning behind these 2 days is pretty much the same since Canada Day also celebrates our independence. Back on July 1st, 1867 we united all the British colonies [...]

I decided to give this one a review since I’ve managed to get myself a couple but never reviewed them. Berger & Argenti seem to be [...]

My Father Cigars S.A. has a rich history in the Cigar world and a vast amount of blending experience in it’s ranks. The infamous Garcia family is behind this growing company and factory based out of Nicaragua. The Garcia family includes the well respected Don Pepin Garcia as well as his up and coming son [...]
In today’s review we take a look at Garo Habano Fine Cigar’s second sample that was sent to us, the Aniversario X. The website (www.garohabano.com) doesn’t talk much about the reasoning behind the name but it’s probably safe to assume that it was released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Garo Habano which has been [...]
