I had hoped that I’d stay somewhat on budget in September. August I kind of threw my budget out the window with the Partagas 150 and the Avo 80th. One day into September it looks like the budget is all out of whack again. Today I bring you the La Aurora Preferidos Sapphire. At $17 […]
Stogie Spotlight: Dr. Stogiefresh

AVO 80th Anniversary

S.T. Dupont (Churchill)
