So with Tony off prancing around in Chicago somewhere, I was left to pick up the slack and get this weeks early review in. He claims he went there for a work related “conference” but I have reliable sources telling me he was just wondering the streets aimlessly with a cigar in hand. If you [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
NOT slacking this week, I’m bringing you a nice little pre-release sneak peek at one of two EP Carrillo’s new blends. The New Wave Connecticut. The Good Stuff: That Carrillo gang really wanted to stretch Connecticut blended cigars to a new level when the started formulating the New Wave Connecticut blend, hence the “New Wave” [...]

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 [...]
Today’s cigar comes from a name that is well known in the world of cigars. He was the mastermind being the La Gloria Cubana line which exploded in popularity in the 90′s and still holds a strong following. Ernesto Perez Carrillo was hard pressed to meet the demand that his popular line had produced. In [...]
Dona Flor is line of cigars produced by the Brazil Cigars & Tobacco Company. As you might guess, all of the cigars are made using 100% Brazillian tobacco from the Bahia region of Brazil. This region and country is most popular for their Maduro wrapper leaves. The company manages the whole growing process from planting [...]
I have heard many mixed review about Rocky Patel’s 1961 smoke. You either love it, or you hate it. I personally am not a huge fan of Rocky Patel cigars, but I will try anything once, and the salesman at my local shop seems to be pretty crazy about this smoke, so I picked one up. [...]
