Well folks, we’re getting closer…while not an “official” YQMA release, I recruited Walt as a guinea pig to try using a combination of software packages to test a split screen version of YQMA. Walt and I do spend about 16 minutes talking about NUB Cigars, SCHIP and our cigar adventures this summer. Our hope is […]
Oliva Serie V Liga Especial (Short Ashes)
Back once again, with taste buds that are still a little out of whack from a bout with allergies, I have for you a short video on the Oliva Serie V Liga Especial. This review was recorded outside in my yard (while seated to prevent dizzy spells as caused by my Camacho Coyolar review). Video […]
Camacho Coyolar (Short Ashes)

Rocky Patel Cuban Blend (Maduro)
My review of the Rocky Patel Winter Collection (2009) a few weeks back has renewed my love of Rocky Patel cigars. During this lovefest I discovered that I’ve never reviewed the Rocky Patel Cuban Blend. Similar to the Honduran Classic, the Cuban Blend is a Famous Exclusive…meaning you can only get them at Famous Smoke […]
