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 [...]

Illusione ~888~ Maduro

Today’s cigar is one I’ve been waiting to do for awhile. I think it’s pretty clear from some of my past reviews that I’m a pretty big fan of Dion Giolitto’s, especially his original Illusione line up. So when I heard there was going to be a few Maduro blends added to the lineup I [...]

Why I was MIA – Part 1

I’ve been missing in action lately so I thought it would only be fair to tell you all what I’ve been doing all this time. And since it’s a cigar website, I would have to mix in some cigar info too! haha. So here we are, back again in the Great White North. Apparently there [...]

Mobster Movie Themed Mystery Cigar Roundup – Part 1

I recently had the chance to participate in another round of blind cigar tastings with some great BOTL’s. The cigars I received came from Chris(a.k.a. Beaverc32) over in New York. He had a nifty little idea to name each cigar after a Mobster Movie, I liked the creativity there! I’m splitting this into 2 separate [...]

Illusione ’888′ Slam

On the agenda today we have a cigar I’ve been waiting to review for awhile. This particular stick was sent to me in a trade and I’m glad it was cause I had none left to review! lol. Seems I had smoked all the ones I had and forgot to save one for a review… [...]

Lack of time, guilt giveaway!

Daniel and I have been all sorts of crazy the past few weeks. We both took turns covering for each other as we always promise to get at least 2 posts up a week. Well, due to my never-ending work load, and the passing of my grandfather this week (no need for remorse, he lived [...]

Daniel’s Blind Review Challenge

As you may have seen in Tony’s post not long ago, I organized a Blind Review Challenge. Check out Tony’s summary of the mystery cigars he received here. Now it’s my turn to wrap up my trade with a review summary. I really enjoy setting these up. As Tony mentioned, it allows you to pick [...]
