Ernesto Perez Carrillo is a name long known to work magic with his blending skills in his time with La Gloria Cubana. As many of you already know, he ventured off to start his own company not long ago and finally have his own name adorning his wonderfully blended cigars. In the short time the [...]
Today we are taking a look at one of the more talked about cigars this year, Jaime Garcia’s Reserva Especial Limited Edition 2011. The Limited Edition 2011 is similar to the Reserva Especial which was released last year (we actually chose this as one of our best cigars of 2010) but with a few tweaks [...]
This week’s review is one that I haven’t heard a whole lot of buzz about. It’s the est. 1844. A batch of these cigars were actually sent to me by one of you, our readers! If you are familiar with out comments section you’d see the name “JJO” popping up a lot more lately. Jeff [...]
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 [...]
You could win a whole box of Macanudo 1968! But, before getting to the contest, I figured I’d start this post off with a review of the contest winnings. Macanudo’s 1968. These were sent over to me from the great people over at General Cigar. Big shout out to them. They’ve been great supporters and [...]
I am braving the weeks of 100 plus heat, and 118 days of NO PRECIPITATION (it actually rained for the first time the day after I wrote up this review, you guys are good luck) to bring you another gigantic sized cigar review! Today’s review is one I know little of, It’s Emilio’s AF1 BMF. [...]
FINALLY some warm weather here in the Great White North. Let’s just ignore the forecast calling for a bit of snow this week and focus on enjoying the weather when I can. It was above freezing all weekend and I enjoyed a few cigars and spent some time outside, spring finally seems to be here. [...]
Tony has been crazy busy with work lately and has forgotten to remove my chains. So since I’m still chained to my desk I figure I’ll go for a hat-trick and put together my third straight review. I’m sure you all miss Tony but you’re stuck with me for now, so enjoy it! lol. Today [...]
One thing we don’t see too much of in the cigar world is Brazilian Puros. Sure, a lot of cigars use the Brazilian Maduro wrapper to get the rich cocoa and coffee notes but they usually bind and fill them with leaves from other countries. The Dona Flor cigar line is distributed by CigarFromBrazil.com (GVG [...]
So as I stated in my previous review, I have had a really bad case of gout lately. It’s going on 3 weeks now. I’ve been getting better, slowly, but I am not back to full steam yet. So bare with me. The combination of the pain and the unheard of snow and record low [...]
