There always seems to be a few brands that evade me, mostly because I live way up here in the Great White North and the selection on non-Cuban cigars is lacking. Through various trades and gifts I always try to track down as many different sticks as I can to try new ones… but there’s [...]
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 [...]
Ever feel like lighting up something special “Just because”? I know it’s nice to have a special occasion and enjoy a special cigar, but today I said “Why Not?!”. Everyday is special right? It’s sunny and warm today, that’s special enough! So here we go, a My Father Limited Edition 2010. Not long ago I [...]
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 [...]
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! [...]
Look who’s on time again. I’ll tell you who wont be next week. Daniel. Slacker is getting some much needed R&R fishing time in. Must be nice! While he is prepping the good ol’ finishing pole, I was firing up another cigar that has been burning a hole through my humidor. Viaje’s Oro Reserva #5. [...]
Trying something different over at Casas Fumando today. It’s a brand I rarely smoke and the only time I really smoke it is when I get it in a sampler or gifted. I’ll be up front and say I have a general bias against these cigars. The main reason is two fold, one being I [...]
The Cuba Aliados line of cigars is produced by the Reyes Family Cigar company. At the head of the Reyes family is Rolando Reyes, born and raised in Cuba and emigrated to America when he was almost 50. He had a long history of cigar making and rolling from when he was very young. The [...]
So after a short time off due to a nasty throat infection I’m back in cigar smoking form and ready to tackle my next task. The cigar I’m smoking today is one I discovered locally through a herf I attended. After asking around online it seems some people have seen the name before but not [...]
Just as fast as the warmth came the cold has returned yet again. At least it was a nice break from this winter which has been unusually colder then normal. Tonight the temperature is supposed to dip down to about 7F. With this information in mind I decided to reach for a smaller vitola cigar [...]
