It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. This edition covers both cigars I had prior to IPCPR 2013, and a few I’ve had since. (Look for a more IPCPR-centric edition soon.) In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily […]

Every year, I save certain special cigars to smoke on my birthday, wedding anniversary and Christmas. Well today is my birthday so I gathered up some cigars that I have been waiting to smoke all year due to price, rarity, etc. Without further ado, here is my line up to smoke today, in no particular […]

IPCPR 2013: Prometheus
The IPCPR trade show isn’t complete until we spend a little time with Keith Park of Prometheus and take a look at all the company’s new cigars and sharp-looking humidors and accessories. As always, there was no shortage of great looking products. If you’re a fan of rare cigars like Opus X and God of […]
Win A Box Of The New Camacho Diploma Cigars
Yesterday Dylan Austin at Camacho dropped me a line. He wants to give one of our readers a box of the new Camacho Diploma Robustos, but he wants to make sure the cigars end up in the right hands and not to a person who is an addict as they might as well fall off […]

IPCPR 2013 Post Mortem
It’s been nearly a week since IPCPR 2013 ended, and I could help but reflect on the events of the show, good, bad and otherwise. Bad Boys of IPCPR It makes sense to start at the beginning. After answering questions about it all show, I started to regret making it public, but there was too […]

IPCPR 2013: Cigar Oasis
We first came across Cigar Oasis at last year’s IPCPR when we found a prototype of their new digital hygrometer that had the shape and feel of the old style analog hygrometers. Even more recently Brian Hewitt reviewed a production unit of the Caliber 4R. At this year’s show we spent some time with them […]
