Ask The Readers: What do you do with Empty Cigar Boxes?
Ever since I started smoking cigars, I’ve been saving empty boxes. At first it was simply a matter of having a cool box. Eventually the empty boxes served as great organizational tools for inside my coolidor. I’ve been saving my boxes for so long that these days I do it out of habit. Every once […]
Paul Stulac Angel
What do skulls, crosses, angel’s wings, shields and maces have to do with cigars? I have no idea, but you can find all of these things and more on the main band of the cigar I’m reviewing this week, the Paul Stulac Angel. And as unusual as it may sound, it’s actually a pretty good […]

Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Filling in for Brian Hewitt this week. Something about complications from that sex change he finally got taken care of a few weeks ago. As always, we wish him a speedy recovery. 😉 Back again with another Week in Smoke. I’m always surprised how popular these posts are. Some of you even like them more […]
La Sirena Prince (first impressions)
I know what you’re probably thinking right now: “What gives? Another ‘first impressions’ video? Where are my full-length reviews?” I’m sorry! I mean, it’s not like I’m busy, what with the new job, new house, pregnant wife, and everything else. I know I’ve been slacking, but there are only 24 hours in a day. So […]
