Today I’m diving into a cigar made by the very popular A.J. Fernandez. AJ’s cigars and me seem to have a love and hate relationship. There are some that I absolutely enjoy and some that are just not quite my profile. So today I’ll be lighting up a Morro Castle Belicoso and see where the [...]
You want some free cigars? Of course you do! Go take some free cigars from Tony’s humidor, he’s giving them out at this link! For those of you who didn’t know, this past weekend was our Thanksgiving up here in the Great White North and the weather was downright awesome! We had gorgeous clear skies [...]
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 [...]
In case you are just tuning in, earlier in the year (or was it last year?) Brooks over at smokingstogie.com had sent me five blind cigars to review. I had a blast doing these and he really threw in the some curveballs. Well, he is back again sending me cigars #6 – #11 in the [...]
It’s been awhile since we’ve had a review of a cigar with the My Father name on it’s band. Not to be confused with a cigar from the My Father factory. If you’ve kept up with a lot of recent cigar news you would have noticed that the My Father factory in Nicaraguan is quickly [...]
I had some time earlier in the day to squeeze out a review so I needed something a little more mild and preferably something I could enjoy with a coffee. I looked through the humidor and selected a few milder sticks I thought would pair well then looked over our previous reviews to make sure [...]
So after a short time off due to a nasty throat infection I’m back in cigar smoking form and ready to tackle my next task. The cigar I’m smoking today is one I discovered locally through a herf I attended. After asking around online it seems some people have seen the name before but not [...]
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 [...]
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. Ernesto Perez Carrillo was hard pressed to meet the demand that his popular line had produced. In [...]
Recently I came home to find a bundle of joy awaiting on my doorstep. Not the same type of bundle of joy a large bird would bring, but pretty damn close. This leads me to this week’s review. The EP Carrillo Short Run. The Good Stuff: I didn’t have a whole lot of information to [...]
