Quick Draw Episode 16 – Montecristo Epic Premium Selection ’07

So I’ve been slacking lately, I know, I know… I’d love to say I was somewhere exotic climbing glaciers or diving the Great Barrier Reef or something, but it’s not that exciting. Just work, life, work, work and more work getting in the way of enjoying some fine cigars! But I managed to sneak in [...]

Espinosa Cigars La Zona Habano

A little while back I did a Quick Draw of the La Zona Connecticut by Espinosa cigars and it had some surprises in store for me. So I decided to save up my Habano versions of this line for a proper full review, and here it is today. On the chopping block is the Habano [...]

Fernando Leon Family Reserve

Now here’s a brand we haven’t had a review of in a little while. If you rewind a good chunk of time, you will see that at one point La Aurora was knocking out all kinds of new brands, including the very popular La Aurora 107 (which is still a very tasty stick). They followed [...]

Quick Draw Episode 11 – Espinosa Cigars La Zona Connecticut

So life has been kicking my butt lately and I’ve been super busy. Not to mention it has been less than ideal smoking conditions here, this week is the first time in about 3 weeks that we’ve gone a few degrees above 0C/32F. So I haven’t had a great chance to sit outside for a [...]

Rocky Patel Sun Grown

So we did get hit with a bunch of rain and wind over the last 3 days courtesy of Sandy that is kicking ass on the East Coast here. Last night was the worst here with Winds gusting over 100kph(60mph). Today seems to be a much better day and I wanted to pass on my [...]

Vallejuelo Robusto Gordo

Today’s cigar comes to me via a nice little package that was sent by one of our awesome readers over on the West Coast. A big thanks goes out to Jeff(a.k.a. jjo) for sending this one my way! And what is this cigar? It is the Vallejuelo! Now I have to apologize for a HUGE [...]

Quick Draw Episode 8 – My Father Le Bijou 1922 Box-Pressed Torpedo

So it has been an absolute whirlwind of a week here. My dog ended up in the hospital for 2 days and now she is on the road to recovery. It’s slow and steady and she still may require some surgery but only time will tell. Unless you have a pet of some kind, it’s [...]

Tatuaje ELO #3 2011

Here we go with today’s review. We actually had some interestingly warm weather roll in this week after the incredible deep freeze we had last week. Trouble is, I got sick earlier this week and now I can’t even go enjoy a cigar in the warmer weather. Bitter sweet, isn’t it? lol. Well, thankfully I [...]
