Casas Fumando

We’ve got an exciting review paired with a heck of a little contest sponsored by none other than out good friends at Bonita Smokeshop. We’ll begin with the review, so you know just what you are going to be getting. The Good Stuff: Most of you are already aware of Bonita Smokeshop, a great little [...]

I’ve actually been a non-slacker lately, kicking out another a review. Daniel will actually be going out of town this week and next on a much deserved vacation in Florida, where he will be soaking up rays, drinking real beer, and will not have to worry about being attacked by moose (mooses? moosi? meece?). So I, along [...]

Here is another installment from my recent Blind Cigar trade. Perdomo is one of those brands that, for me, has been one of the most consistent quality sticks at great prices. I always have a few Perdomo’s in my humidor. I did a review of the Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Maduro not long ago. If [...]

This cigar came to me as part of a sampler pack at a recent herf. I’ve had a few Gran Habano cigars before but never reviewed one. Overall I’ve had good experiences with them. Gran Habano is made by the very experienced hands of Guillermo Rico, a third-generation premium cigar maker who’s leafs have touched [...]

This is the first video review up on Casas Fumando! The cigar of choice to delve into the video world was a Jameson Cigars Declaration Iniquity. In the video I talk about the company, the pairings, the cigar, and of course my opinion. It is my first video review so be patient, I’ll improve them [...]

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. Damaso Padrón and his sons cultivated tobacco fields in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, in the 1800’s and began the legacy of the Padrón family name. Sometime later, [...]

I recently had the pleasure of running into a gentleman at a local herf. We started chatting about life and nothing special. Soon after he offered me a cigar I had never seen before. The wrapper had an interesting pattern, almost like something you’d see on a native totem pole. The brand was “Orishas”. I [...]

I have been under the gun as of late, and hadn’t had the chance to kick out all the reviews I would like, but I am still sticking to the promise of at least one a week. This week’s is Drew Estate’s infamous Tabak Especial Cafe Con Leche. Outside of mail order, I hadn’t been [...]
