EP Carrillo Edicion Limitada 2012
I eagerly awaited the time when EP Carrillo would be releasing this years edicion limitada cigar, EP Carrillo Edicion Limitada 2012. I mean, why not? Last’s year release, Dark Ritual, I consider to be one of the best cigar I’ve ever had. Such a rich, flavorful, well balanced cigar at a decent price. I couldn’t […]

Fast on the heels of the release of their latest line, the Headley Grange, Crowned Heads released their first limited edition cigar called the Mule Kick for 2012.

EP Carrillo Cardinal 52 Natural
EP Carrillo Cigars has several lines of cigars to cover pretty much any type of cigar smoker. The one segment they were missing was a full bodied core line. The New Wave Connecticut was for mild-medium body smokers and the Core and Maduro lines were medium bodied. Nothing in the upper medium or full bodied […]
Chasing Classic Cigars
Over the past few months, I’ve found myself going back to cigars that I haven’t smoked in quite a while that I used to smoke a lot. I’ve been smoking cigars for about 15 years and we all started with some affordable cigars. Luckily, or unlucky, I started smoking during the first cigar boom where […]

Paul Joyal, owner of Ocean State Cigars, introduced the J Grotto Series Reserve line to complement their well received J Grotto Series line of cigars.

This special perfecto comes with an all white embossed band in an all white box with the same artwork as the band painted in white on it.

Oliva Serie V Melanio Torpedo
This year, Oliva released the much anticipated Oliva Serie V Melanio at the 2012 IPCPR. This is a limited edition that differs from the core Serie V by adding extra Jalapa ligero to the blend as well as changing the wrapper from Nicaraguan Sun Grown Habano to an Ecaudorian Sumatra wrapper. I went this year […]
My Father Flor de Las Antillas

I heard several people on Twitter talking about the medium body smoke with great flavor so I quickly decided I needed […]
