So today I’m doing something a little different and something we don’t typically do. If you look through our list of reviews, you’ll see there are not really any duplicates but today I’m making an exception to that rule. Previously we may have reviewed different vitolas of the same cigar, usually when it’s a newer [...]
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 [...]
Just like Tony, I’m NOT Slacking this week! haha! And not only am I not slacking, but I decided to pick up a special stick to review for today. On the edge of my ashtray and ready to be lit is a Limited Edition cigar coming from the La Aurora factory, the 100 Anos (or [...]
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 [...]
Just as fast as the warmth came the cold has returned yet again. At least it was a nice break from this winter which has been unusually colder then normal. Tonight the temperature is supposed to dip down to about 7F. With this information in mind I decided to reach for a smaller vitola cigar [...]
If you haven’t had or heard of Padron cigars by now, it’s time to climb out from under the rock and give them a try. They are easily known as one of the best non-cuban cigar manufacturers around and have been around since 1964. They don’t go after huge variations of lines but instead keep [...]
I received this cigar just before Christmas from a fellow BOTL(Brother of the Leaf) named Joe (a.k.a. BlackIce). We had a Santa-Trade where he sent me a fantastic package. I decided to give this one a review since I’ve managed to get myself a couple but never reviewed them. Berger & Argenti seem to be [...]
Up for review today we have a special edition release from Pete Johnson of Tatuaje Cigars. If you haven’t been following Pete or Tatuaje, you should know that he has a successful line of both limited and regular release blends and he shows no signs of slowing down. You can review some of the other [...]
Today we have a very special and exclusive review of the first production cigar from the Maldonado Dynasty. I was recently lucky enough to be sent samples of this cigar, dubbed “The Mogul” from Paul Maldonado. After some chatting on Twitter with Paul I discovered he lived in Canada for awhile so we instantly had [...]
The Man O War line is the brain child of the Cuban born Abdel “AJ” Fernandez. AJ is now living in Nicaragua but used to work under the supervision of Cuban cigar master, Alejandro Robaina. After moving to Nicaragua, AJ began making his own line of cigars as well as blending for other companies. Some [...]
