In the Vita Nova Nicaraguan Corojo takes over for the original’s Mexican San Andres. The name translates to “new life” which as Mike Huff told […]
Crowned Heads Tennessee Waltz
Crowned Heads introduced the Tennessee Waltz this year to only their retailers in the state of Tennessee.

The cigar features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper along with binder and […]
Tortuga Reserva (Box Pressed)
Over the past few weeks I’ve developed an addiction. My drug of choice has been the Tortuga Reserva Alma. It seems like every time I purchase them, with the intention of reviewing one, I smoke every single one of them before I manage to fire up the camera and record my thoughts. On one shoulder […]

When I was visiting the new Crescent City Cigars location in Metairie, LA, I picked up a Kafie 1901 Don Fernando Maduro 6 year Anejo robusto on the recommendation of Armando Ortiz, the owner. I had never heard of Kafie cigars before, but he talked me into giving it a shot. I have to say […]

Esteban Carreras Chupa Cabra
A couple of weeks ago I was driving home from work and decided to swing into my local B&M, Sir Stogies. I was in the mood for a firecracker of a cigar and was short on time. I made my way into the humidor and found an empty box of Guerrilla Warfare. I poked around […]
