Ben’s Week in Smoke – Bayou Edition No. 12 It’s been awhile since I did a Week in Smoke, but it has been a hectic week which means I wasn’t able to smoke as many cigars as I would have liked. With the temperatures reaching into the high 80s and even, some days, reaching the […]
Inferno 3rd Degree by Oliva
A few years ago the fine folks over at Famous Smoke Shop were kind enough to send me some samples of a new exclusive they were selling. The cigar was Inferno and it was produced by Oliva. Truth be told, if I had to pull out my wallet to try that very first cigar, I […]

It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of the cigars I’ve smoked in the past week (or the past month, or however long it has been since the last issue), […]
Xikar VX Keychain V-cutter

Get Your Booger Hooker Off The Bang Switch
About seven or eight years ago I had my first experience with guns. It turned out to be a lot of fun and ultimately lead me down the rabbit hole. I went from shooting a gun for fun to buying my first gun, to getting licensed to carry, to shooting competitively, and so on and […]

My Father Cigars Connecticut bundle cigar
Cigar Very short write up this week on the My Father Cigars Connecticut Bundle Cigar as my neck is hurting pretty bad and my phone never saved my memo/notes. Found these at my local shop for $60 a bundle of 20 cigars. I could not say no to a $3 stick that I am almost […]

This follows the Tennessee Waltz (robusto grande) made for Tennessee and the Paniolo Especial for Hawaii (corona gorda).
