I went digging through the humidor today and had one of those moments where I couldn’t make a decision. Them I saw the G.A.R. label staring back at me. I haven’t had a cigar from Gran Habano in awhile and they always seem to be top-notch when I do so I decided it was going [...]
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 [...]
If you haven’t had or heard of Padron cigars by now, it’s time to climb out from under the rock and give them a try. They are easily known as one of the best non-cuban cigar manufacturers around and have been around since 1964. They don’t go after huge variations of lines but instead keep [...]
First off, this review was written 100%, and photos were shot 100% on the iPhone. I didn’t have my laptop or camera so I decided to try to see if I could do a whole review using my phone. So…What I am trying to say is…Don’t make fun of my crappy pictures. I know this [...]

Cohiba is the pinnacle of Cuban cigars. Almost everyone you talk to about Cuban cigars will mention Cohiba as the brand they know. They’ve always stood for high quality and excellent smokes, usually with a full-bodied appeal. The Cohiba brand was a one-trick pony for a long time but in the not so distant past [...]
It seems that lately I’m seeing La Aurora and Miami Cigars all over the place. There’s been quite a few top quality releases from them and I’ve been eagerly chasing them all down. They are making a big splash in the online community, especially with Twitter and their recent release of the La Aurora 107 [...]
Today’s cigar comes from a name that is well known in the world of cigars. He was the mastermind being the La Gloria Cubana line which exploded in popularity in the 90′s and still holds a strong following.
