Several months ago when CAO began advertising their X2 lines I became very curious and started to search them out at my local cigar shops. Unfortunately I did not have any luck finding one of the two sticks to try. After a few weeks of looking, CAO ran a quiz on their website which asked […]
Blast from the past
A good friend of mine was working on an old barn recently. While taking down some old plaster he wasn’t surprised to see wadded up newspaper stuffed into the walls as insulation. However, what did surprise him was the clipping he saw as he pulled out the first wad of newspaper. It was a cigar […]
La Aroma De Cuba
Thanks again to Carlos in NJ as this is another one of the many cigars he sent me a few weeks ago. When you watch the video you will see I was a bit torn by this cigar. I enjoyed the cigar and I’d recommend it. The problem is, I’m not sure if I’d remember […]
Rocky Patel Edge Missile
Here we have the Rocky Patel Edge Missile, weighing in at 5×48 and in a maduro wrapper. The Edge is available in both maduro and corojo wrappers, each in Toro (6×52), Torpedo (6×52) and Missile (5×48) sizes. Though I have no first-hand evidence, I have been told that these now sport a band on the […]
Jericho by Camacho
A few weeks back I got an email from C-Bid about a sampler of Jericho cigars. The price was decent (around $30.00) so I decided to place a bid. After a few days I got an email letting me know that I had won my auction and that I was the owner of a Jericho […]
Episode 2 – Your Questions, My Answers (Video)
We’ve received a nice amount of questions and comments and decided to put together Episode 2 earlier than scheduled and for the most part we got the logistics worked out but combining both of our recordings into one almost seamless recording really tested my limited video editing skills. In this episode Walt & I tackle […]
Vasco da Gama Coronas
Huge thanks to Carlos aka Boofa for his very generous care package he sent me last week. I gotta say, I enjoyed this cigar more than I thought I would. I actually thought the cigar would be harsh and I would label the cigar as a DNF. To my surprise I really enjoyed the flavor […]
CAO Criollo Pampas
The 4×40 CAO Criollo Pampas is a Nicaraguan puro with a Cuban-seed Criollo 1998 wrapper. This particular cigar had a very rustic looking wrapper that was obviously rather small given the number of turns it made around this short cigar, all capped off with a very nice looking pigtail. It had a very rich and […]
Odor Eliminator Comparison
A few weeks ago, I received an email asking me how I kept the odor of smoke to a minimum in my basement while smoking. My answer was that I use a typical box fan in one window to pull air across the room from another open window. As the air travels across the room […]
Rocky Patel Connecticut
First I have to apologize for the rush job on the video. I really wasn’t on my game tonight as it seemed all day long I was behind in everything I needed to do. Just the way it goes in my world of a father-to-be. The Rocky Patel Connecticut came up in discussion during my […]
