Carlos Toraño Tribute 2008 & Rocky Patel Renaissance
Same as the other post…a short video showing off the Carlos Toraño Tribute 2008 and high rez pics of the Rocky Patel Renaissance. I twittered some low rez pics so this post will give you a better look at both: In the past the big disappointment about the Tribute was that it was hard to […]
Esencia & CAO LX2
Wanted to share a couple short videos to give you a higher rez image of some of the cigars I Twittered about: I don’t know much about the Esencia cigar by Brother of the Leaf and Mark Aub (Palio Cutters). I know pre-IPCPR the guys at Dogwatch Cigar Radio were giving it high praise. The […]

Their literature tells the story of how Christopher Columbus (Colon) brought the tobacco plant back with him to Spain and how the Spanish Inquisition condemned tobacco referring to it as […]
