A few weeks ago, I went through my cigar bands from 2012. There were three companies that I smoked more cigars from than any others by a widespread. The top three were Ortega Cigars, Drew Estate, and E.P. Carrillo. The majority of visits to the local lounge included a purchase of at least a stick [...]
So I need to apologize for my absence lately, been getting overwhelmed at work and on top of that I managed to catch the flu. Even better, the temps here were absolutely insane last week with one day clocking in at -18 FARENHEIT! Yes, -18F! Pretty insane if you ask me! But I’m back this [...]
So today I’m bringing out another Rocky Patel cigar that was graciously gifted to me once again by my good pal Lou. It seems he’s making a consistent effort to try and turn me into a Rocky fanboy. Lou, I see your sinister plan, just thought I’d let you know! But I’m always up to [...]
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 [...]

Chances are, most of you are just rolling out of bed and looking for the best hangover remedy. Good luck with the headache, haha! And a friendly reminder, ONLY A FEW [...]
Ernesto Perez Carrillo is a name long known to work magic with his blending skills in his time with La Gloria Cubana. As many of you already know, he ventured off to start his own company not long ago and finally have his own name adorning his wonderfully blended cigars. In the short time the [...]
Tony has been crazy busy with work lately and has forgotten to remove my chains. So since I’m still chained to my desk I figure I’ll go for a hat-trick and put together my third straight review. I’m sure you all miss Tony but you’re stuck with me for now, so enjoy it! lol. Today [...]
