Monte Pascoal Robusto
Up for review this week is a cigar I’ve been trying to get to all month, but an early and intense pollen season coupled with travel kept delaying it. (With any luck you’ll be reading this before April.) Though in truth, my interest in the Monte Pascoal extends all the way back to last years […]

La Aurora 1495 – Brazil (Blind Tasting)
Several weeks ago I was sitting in Sir Stogies, shooting the breeze. A variety of topics were discussed, one of which was potentially holding another blind tasting.
