Yes, I know, I slacked it last week. Well, not really. I’m actually working on a huge, crazy, campaign at work and I have been insanely busy. Sorry that it took me over a week to finally lay this review down, but hopefully The San Lotano Oval makes up for it! The Good Stuff: San Lotano [...]
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 [...]
So with Tony off prancing around in Chicago somewhere, I was left to pick up the slack and get this weeks early review in. He claims he went there for a work related “conference” but I have reliable sources telling me he was just wondering the streets aimlessly with a cigar in hand. If you [...]
First of all, don’t forget to “Like” us on Facebook. You could win a full box of cigars and other neat contests we have coming up! I have been dying to get the chance to smoke this cigar, and thanks again to the wonderful group over at smokingstogie.com, this time in particular Steve Valle, I [...]

Revolution Cigars is still a fairly new player in the cigar market but they seem to be making quite an impression. So far, the Paradigm is the sole blend in their line coming in 3 vitolas, Robusto, Torpedo, and the one being reviewed today, Box-Pressed Toro. They also recently announced that a new line will [...]
Abdel Fernandez had been involved in the cigar industry for quite a long time. He has been involved with many different companies such as Rocky Patel, Gurkha and Padilla as well as some small batch cigars such as the Man O’ War (You can read the reviews of that cigar line here: MOW, MOW Ruination [...]
Another one of Dion Giolito’s masterpieces is under review this week. The Cruzado. I have heard of these cigars, but most shops locally in El Paso, Texas don’t even carry Illusione cigars, so unless I was to receive these as a gift or trade, I probably never would have got my grubby little paws on [...]
I’ve had a Drew Estate EGG Maduro sitting in my humidor for a while now, just waiting for its turn on the chopping block. This week his day has come. This is a pretty interesting cigar.
