While Jeremy and Daniel are both out of town I spent the weekend at home, relaxing with a few great cigars and drinks. One of those great cigars happens to be the long awaited La Aurora 107 Maduro. The Good Stuff: La Aurora’s 107 has been a long time coming and I for one, didn’t [...]
At the end of January, I reviewed the Thurman Thomas Hall of Fame Maduro (review can be found here), which ended up being surprisingly pleasant, especially for the price. After a couple of months of rest in my humidor, I decided it was time to break out the Natural version of the Hall of Fame. [...]
Last week, I bragged about the beautiful weather El Paso has been experiencing so far this spring. One thing I failed to mention is the crazy winds we also experience this time of year that play havoc on my allergies. Since El Paso is a desert, winds mean lots of sand in the air, which [...]
So it seems mother nature and the groundhogs are pretty confused this year. We were having some nice cigar weather last week in the low 40’s and then this week we get nailed with a couple more days in the 0F range… Definitely not ideal weather to sneak outside and enjoy a cigar! But I [...]
A few weeks ago, I went through my cigar bands from 2012. There were three companies that I smoked more cigars from than any others by a widespread. The top three were Ortega Cigars, Drew Estate, and E.P. Carrillo. The majority of visits to the local lounge included a purchase of at least a stick [...]
Our good friends over at StogieBoys.com sent over a few Thurman Thomas Hall of Fame cigars to check out. Thurman Thomas played for the Buffalo Bills for 12 years where he set the Buffalo Bills rushing record with 11,938 yards and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007. In partnership with [...]
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 [...]
This week has been a blur. The week before? A blur. The week before that? You guessed it, a blur. I just can’t seem to get ahead of the game. But one thing I haven’t slacked it on it getting my reviews done. This week, one of Miami Cigar’s newest installments, the Añoranza. The Good [...]
Today’s cigar has been sort of a white whale for me and it’s funny because this cigar is pretty widely available. I’m not really sure why but I just wasn’t able to secure one to send north of the border. The reason why I was excited to try it was because I really enjoyed the [...]
So it’s been a little while since I’ve had time to do a full review. With all the things happening lately it’s pretty much been a blur for the last few months, but a fun blur! lol. So now let’s get back into the swing of things and start off easy with a budget stick [...]
