So after a short hiatus from both of us here is a fresh review for our faithful readers! In case you missed it, Tony was overcome with guilt and is now giving away FREE CIGARS! Check out the contest post here, it’s super easy to enter! I was reading through a history of our reviews [...]
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 [...]

Ernesto Perez Carrillo was hard pressed to meet the demand that his popular line had produced. In [...]

Today we have another vitola from the Hemingway line by Arturo Fuente. I actually reviewed the big brother of this vitola not long ago, the Arturo Fuente Hemingway “Best Seller”. Today’s vitola is called the “Short Story” and is the smallest vitola in the Hemingway line. The Short Story maintains the same wrapper, binder and [...]
