Who finished their Christmas shopping? I did! At least, I hope I did. After an exhausting weekend of shopping I decided to settle down with a nice Gran Habano G.A.R. Opium S.T.K. For those who don’t know, Gran Habano had recently formed a series called the S.T.K. series. The cigars in this special series are [...]
In keeping with my excellent non-slacker form, here is this weeks review right on time as it should be! Unlike some other people who claim to be too busy “working”… It’s no news to people keeping up with the cigar industry news that Miami Cigar has been turning out some awesome cigars and making a [...]
For the first review this week, I take a look at a cigar that made it’s debut at the IPCPR show last week, Drew Estate’s Undercrown. This was one of the few “talked about” cigars that made it’s release at the trade show last week. I did quite a bit of research on this cigar [...]
While most of you south of the border were celebrating Independence Day on July 4th, us Northerners were actually celebrating Canada day on July 1st. The actual meaning behind these 2 days is pretty much the same since Canada Day also celebrates our independence. Back on July 1st, 1867 we united all the British colonies [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
In case you missed it, we are giving away 10 samplers of the upcoming Para Jabon from La Aurora. Tony made a post about it earlier this week and the deadline is closing quickly. Read the post here and make sure to post a comment to get an entry, it’s that easy! If you want [...]
It’s been damn cold up here in the Great White North lately and my propane heater has definitely come in handy. As I write this now, we are getting a nice dumping of freezing rain which should make for an interesting drive home. I’m sure Tony’s is on his way to a nice warm afternoon [...]
Cohiba is the pinnacle of Cuban cigars. Almost everyone you talk to about Cuban cigars will mention Cohiba as the brand they know. They’ve always stood for high quality and excellent smokes, usually with a full-bodied appeal. The Cohiba brand was a one-trick pony for a long time but in the not so distant past [...]
