H. Upmann Magnum 48 Edicion Limitada 2009 (Cuban)

So the site seems to be back up and running smoothly. For those of you who don’t know, we moved servers last week which caused quite a few days where the site was unbelievably slow, or not accessible at all. But we are back! If there is anything out of place don’t hesitate to let [...]

Jose L. Piedra Brevas

The follow up on a busy last half of the week, the token Canadian is chiming in with another review for our wonderful readers! To celebrate the warm weather we’ve been having I decided to reach into my Cuban humidor and see what I could find. I ended up pulling out a Jose L. Piedra [...]

Quick Draw Episode 16 – Montecristo Epic Premium Selection ’07

So I’ve been slacking lately, I know, I know… I’d love to say I was somewhere exotic climbing glaciers or diving the Great Barrier Reef or something, but it’s not that exciting. Just work, life, work, work and more work getting in the way of enjoying some fine cigars! But I managed to sneak in [...]

Ezra Zion Reagan Honor Series

So we’re finally getting some warmer weather in the Great White North this past week. It hasn’t been too warm but at least a couple degrees above freezing is better than way below freezing? Either way, it’s given me some time to enjoy my cigars without worrying about hypothermia and frostbite! lol. This week I’ll [...]

Bolivar Royal Corona (Cuban)

So I’m reaching into my humidor today to dig up another Cuban for your viewing enjoyment. I bought a box of these a while back, probably about 2 years ago, but I couldn’t seem to find the box to pinpoint the exact date. I believe they are from 2010 or so, and it is none [...]

Casas Fumando “Average Joe” Top 10 of 2012

So here we are with the list Tony so graciously hyped up in his post earlier this week. It’s not going to be as impressive or fancy but it will be a list, and we all love lists! My plan here is just to go through some of the cigars that I’ve been re-visiting over [...]

Guantanamera Cristales

Reaching into my humidor this week I picked out something I’ve sort of been avoiding but I decided to have some fun and go for it out of curiosity. As far as the Cuban world goes, the Guantanamera Cristales are regarded as sort of the black sheep that are just there to lure in some [...]

Quick Draw Episode 9 – Trinidad Reyes (Cuban)

With winter on the horizon now is a good time to start stocking up on some of those shorter cigars that you can still enjoy before your hands fall off. Up here in the Great White North, we’ve already started to dip into the freezing temps and my polar bear parka is still at the [...]

Montecristo No. 2 from 2010 (Cuban)

So today I’m diving into the humidor to review something we’ve actually reviewed before. If you dive back into our history you will find a joint review that Tony and I did on a Montecristo No. 2 from a 2008 box. Normally I wouldn’t re-visit the same cigar again but I thought this was a [...]

Cuaba Distinguidos (Cuban)

It’s been a little while since we had a nice Cuban cigar pop-up on the review cycle lately so I decided to do something about that. I’ve had these cigars sitting in my humi for a little while and was waiting for a good time to light them up when there was some warmer weather. [...]
