A few weeks ago Mike and I got together to do some Cigarfest 2011 Coverage. We headed up to the Poconos a day early to attend a Studio Tobac World Tour event at Atlantic Cigar. While snapping a few pictures to post on Twitter, Bryan Scholle tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a […]
El Perrito – War of Flavors
First and foremost remember freedom isn’t free. During your cookouts, cigars and libations please take a moment to remember those who paid the ultimate price.

Listen to Jerry on the BOTCAST

Punch Rare Corojo 10th Anniversary
When General Cigar shipped me a five pack of the new Punch Rare Corojo 10th Anniversary edition cigars, I decided to let them rest a while. I knew that probably meant that Jerry would beat me to the review (he did, sorta), but I wanted to give them a fair shake. So far my experience […]
Gurkha Micro Batch TPB-1 – First Impressions
Well here I am for my Tuesday slot, that I keep forgetting about, and I am thinking I am going to keep this format of just doing a first impressions video and letting the video do the talking (or maybe not). Here is a bit about the cigar copied from CI’s website since they are […]
