Daniel is paying me back for having to fill in for me last week by pretending that he’s sick. So I am filling in the slacker spot. Actually, the poor dude has it pretty bad. He may not even be around next week. Someone send him a bigass cookie. I will be bringing you guys the [...]
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 [...]
I received this cigar just before Christmas from a fellow BOTL(Brother of the Leaf) named Joe (a.k.a. BlackIce). We had a Santa-Trade where he sent me a fantastic package. 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 [...]
This week’s review is a limited edition blend that I look out for every year. The Camacho Liberty 2010. I smoked a few of these cigars, but this one in particular was actually sent to me by our good friend Mike at Mikestogies.com. Mike was the man who actually sent over the sticks I did [...]
As you may have seen in Tony’s post not long ago, I organized a Blind Review Challenge. Check out Tony’s summary of the mystery cigars he received here. Now it’s my turn to wrap up my trade with a review summary. I really enjoy setting these up. As Tony mentioned, it allows you to pick [...]

It’s part of the Leon Jimenes group of companies which also includes the Leon Jimenes and the new Guillermo Leon line of cigars.

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 [...]
Yes I am on vacation this week and in true non-slacker form I am posting yet another review. The Moosi? are not attacking down here and the weather is great in Florida. Although the Pelican’s had me running a few times! Now only if a certain someone would learn how to be a non-slacker like [...]
This cigar came to me as part of a sampler pack at a recent herf. I’ve had a few Gran Habano cigars before but never reviewed one. Overall I’ve had good experiences with them. Gran Habano is made by the very experienced hands of Guillermo Rico, a third-generation premium cigar maker who’s leafs have touched [...]
