This is another one of those cigars that just seem to come out of nowhere. A couple of weeks ago, I had no idea Rocky Patel was even planning on releasing a double maduro. Most of my attention was focused on the new NUb cigars and the Camacho 10th Anniversary Corojo. (Neither of which I’ve […]
Using cigar scissors
With the recent review of Brian’s new Xikar MTX multi-tool it seemed like a good time to put together a short demonstration on how to use cigar scissors. Using your scissors: • Open scissors slightly and press against the head of your cigar • With downward pressure on the cigar close the scissors to begin […]
Camacho Coyolar Puro
Camacho Coyolar Puro Review Jason Shaffer – 3/6/2008 Yesterday I attended a Camacho tasting at my local B&M, “The Humidor”, on Wednesday evening. They had several “Baccarat” cigars to try, and a large selection of Camacho-branded cigars as well. I was speaking to the Camacho rep, Tom, and asked him to steer me toward an […]

CAO Black VR Totem
The CAO Black VR is a cigar I’ve had my eyes on for a while. The plan was that if I stumbled on them in a local B&M, I would make a point to try one. But as you may already know, you’re not likely to find these anywhere but a few online retailers. It […]
Cigar Desktop Images
As of late, I have been trying to add a sort of fun and artistic cigar photo to each review. The idea is to break the monotony that is the same simple picture of the band, over and over again. While taking some of these fun photos I came up with some that I really […]
Your Questions, My Answers (YQMA) Episode 28
