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 [...]
In light of today being Halloween, I decided to dig up another spooky pairing to celebrate the occasion. I’m not sure how Halloween is accepted in different parts of the world but I think it’s mostly the same in North America. The only difference is up here in the Great White North is that the [...]
Yes, it’s that time of year again, when all the little Ghouls and Goblins stroll the streets begging for candy. In light of the upcoming Halloween Evening I decided to try and find a cigar that would instill some fear into the readers. At first I considered reviewing a White Owl Grape or something similar, [...]
In case you missed it, last week I posted the first half of my little blind cigar tasting review with the Mobster Themed Mystery Sticks. Check out this link for the first half. I’m back home from vacation and quickly back to the grind at work digging through the piles of emails that have accumulated… [...]
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.

So I’m back from an awesome long weekend of fishing north of the city. Feels great to have some time to unwind and relax. Glad to see Tony wasn’t a total slacker while I was away! Nothing beats enjoying cigars in the middle of a calm lake under awesome weather and catching some tasty fish! [...]
I had some time earlier in the day to squeeze out a review so I needed something a little more mild and preferably something I could enjoy with a coffee. I looked through the humidor and selected a few milder sticks I thought would pair well then looked over our previous reviews to make sure [...]
FINALLY some warm weather here in the Great White North. Let’s just ignore the forecast calling for a bit of snow this week and focus on enjoying the weather when I can. It was above freezing all weekend and I enjoyed a few cigars and spent some time outside, spring finally seems to be here. [...]
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 [...]
Padrón is synonymous with great high-quality cigars, both on the premium and inexpensive levels. Most anyone who smokes cigars has tried or at least heard the Padrón name.
