La Aurora 1495 – Brazil (Blind Tasting)
Several weeks ago I was sitting in Sir Stogies, shooting the breeze. A variety of topics were discussed, one of which was potentially holding another blind tasting. My first blind tasting held at this shop turned out well and all in attendance seemed to enjoy themselves, so I grabbed my phone and looked for an […]
Oliva Serie V No 4 (Liga Especial)
Last week I was going through my usual routine of hanging out at Kensington Tobacconist and enjoying a cigar. About fifteen minutes before I was going to head out the door, Dave Wagner, VP of Sales at Oliva, walked through the door. We got to talking and I wound up spending another couple of hours […]

I made the Nub San Andreas Maduro my first cigar of the day and followed it up with a Cain FF (Cain Double-F) roughly twelve hours later. My experience with the Nub was less than desirable, which […]
Ask The Readers: Do you use cigars as a motivational tool?
A few weeks ago I was reading through my cigar subscriptions in Google Reader and stumbled onto a very interesting series. Craig Vanderslice, of CigarCraig.com, posted an article entitled “Take A Cigar For A Walk”. In this article Craig introduces us to a man named Tommy. Tommy is overweight and gives us a look at […]
Nub San Andreas Maduro (First Impression)
Over the past week you have probably seen a couple of reviews pop up across the cigar blogs which focus on new Studio Tobac Product. Outside of the Cain Daytona, which has hit stores, some of those cigars may not look familiar. The cigar I have for you today is another of those unfamiliar cigars, […]
