This weekend’s supplemental video cigar review is of another interesting stogie selection I picked up at the latest IPCPR. The cigar is the Old School Duke and it’s an Ecuadoran puro. That’s right, and Ecuadoran puro. When the show’s most attractive booth girl offered me the chance to pick one cigar from Old School’s five […]
Tabacos Baez Favoritos
Just when you thought there couldn’t be couldn’t possibly be another new Don Pepin Garcia smoke, it’s time for just that. Another review of a new Pepin cigar! That’s right, the cigar rock star that’s responsible for the new La Aroma De Cuba I reviewed recently and the new EO Cubao that Walt weighed in […]
Perdomo Patriarch Corojo Torpedo
I have for you again another cigar that premiered at this year’s IPCPR. This time, we’re taking a look at the new offering from Perdomo, named the Patriarch. In keeping with the name, this cigar is dedicated to the late Nicholas Perdomo Senior, the original patriarch of the brand. In fact, the word is that […]
Vengeance Torpedo
It’s time for me to light up another smoke from the collection I brought back with me from IPCPR. The interesting thing about the Vengeance is that while it is generally credited to Rocky Patel, who did in fact blend the cigar. However, I didn’t pick this cigar up in the circus that was Rocky […]
An Evening At The Diamond Crown Cigar Lounge
My interest was piqued when I heard there was a Diamond Crown Lounge opening in Georgia. I had heard of these lounges opening up in various cities around the country, but I didn’t know exactly what it mean to be a “Diamond Crown Lounge”. And then I heard that Eric Newman of J.C. Newman would […]
That Cigar Came With A Prize!
A few weeks ago, I was in the mood for a Padron. After a few minutes of of excavation, I successfully extracted a Padron 3000 without a dangerous avalanche of cigars. (Lately, my humidor has been so dangerously overfilled, I have wear a miner’s hat with the mounted light when I grab a cigar.) Pleased […]

Padron 1926 80th Anniversary (Saturday Supplemental)
Wow, can you believe it’s been over a month since I did one of these weekend video reviews? Where does the time go? Oh yeah, work and IPCPR! Speaking of IPCPR, you’re probably thinking I picked up this high-MSRP smoke at the show. Ah, but you’re wrong. As I mention in the video, the Padron […]
CAO LX2 Rob
Let me just start off by saying that this cigar wasn’t all that easy to get my hands on. As Walt, Jerry and I made our rounds at this IPCPR, one thing was a constant. CAO’s booth was always packed full of people. We cruised through the booth a couple of times the first two […]
Tatuaje Cojonu 2006
I really lucked out this week. I only just got over a nasty bit of the flu in the past day or so, which doesn’t sound very lucky, but in this case it is. In a few short days, cigar enthusiasts from all around the globe will be packing their suitcases and boarding planes heading […]
