This video covers the Cigarfest event itself as well as some random banter from throughout the weekend. Unlike the first video where we were both pretty run […]
Liga Privada T52 by Drew Estate
I’m asked from time to time what I, Don “Cruz”ado a.k.a. The Great Torpedo, thinks about a particular cigar and when asked about the Liga Privada T52 by Drew Estate I would tell them that I wasn’t a fan of them. Historically, the Liga Privada T52 always seemed inconsistent. It was always one thing after […]
Tabacos Baez Serie SF Corona
When you make as many cigars as Don “Pepin” Garcia makes every year, the premium tobacco scraps really start to pile up. And what do you do when you have a surplus of short filler?

A Passion for Puro d’Oro
I’m sure by now most of you have heard of the new Puro d’Oro offering from the folks at Davidoff. Last night I was fortunate enough to be invited by Mike Copperman to cover a Puro d’Oro launch event at his shop, Bethesda Tobacco (a CRA Great American Cigar Shop), in Bethesda MD. I’ll let […]
Rocky Patel Decade Edicion Limitada Robusto
Just when you thought Brian has reviewed every limited release that has hit the shop shelves in the past six months, I surprise you with another. This time around it’s a special edition from the perpetually prolific Rocky Patel. One released with surprisingly little fanfare. I first became aware of the cigar when it appeared […]
