What really surprised me is how quickly I was able to get my hands on the Tempus. It could be that I heard about them late, but within a couple days of being told there was a new Alec Bradley cigar out there, I found them at a local shop. (Some people I’ve spoken to […]
Los Tabaqueros: A Handmade Documentary Review
This weekend I’m bringing you something a little different. It is a review, but not of a cigar. Instead it’s a review of a movie about cigars. And probably one you haven’t come across before. (Unless you spent a lot of time at film festivals in the past year or so.) It’s called Los Tabaqueros: […]
Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label Fundadores
I’m a firm believer that it pays to make a point to visit all the cigar shops in your area from time to time. Sure, you will invariably have your favorite shops, where you spend the majority of your leisure smoking time and cigar budget. I do. But you might be pleasantly at what you […]
Stradivarius De Los Maestros Robusto Major
This week’s cigar is one I’ve really been looking forward to smoking for some time. I was lucky enough to pick one of these high MSRP smokes at last years RTDA, but I’ve been putting off smoking it until I could pick up another and give it a proper review. Finally, after looking around for […]
Tatuaje Black (Saturday Supplemental)
This week’s Saturday Supplemental strays a bit from the normal template. Instead of revisiting a cigar that either we’ve reviewed in the past and videoing my thoughts on it, this is a completely new cigar review. Why not do my standard written review for it, you ask? Well, I only have one Tatuaje Black, and […]
PD Cigars Churchill
A couple of Fridays ago I was hanging out at Blue Havana II for a Don Pepin Garcia rolling event (which I recommend checking out if you get a chance) when some cigar reps that were there mentioned they’d be doing an event at another shop the following day. The shop was Selective Cigars, and […]
Sancho Panza Double Maduro Cervantes
Well, it’s time for a late-breaking Saturday Sunday Monday Supplemental cigar review. (Heavy emphasis on the late part of “late-breaking.”) Earlier this week Jerry mentioned to me that we haven’t yet done a video review of the Sancho Panza Double Maduro. Oh sure, Jerry and Walt have both had their say on this popular smoke, […]
Camacho Limited Harvest Torpedo
According to the rumors out there, this may be the rarest smoke I’ve ever had the opportunity to review. The word is that only 50,000 of the Camacho Limited Edition were produced, due to the small size of the yield the “special strain” of wrapper leaf grown in the Jamastran region. But as you know, […]
Ashton Benchmade by Don Pepin (Saturday Supplemental)
This week’s Saturday Supplemental video review is a little different than the previous ones. Instead of revisiting a cigar that I (or one of the other guys) have smoked in the past, I’m checking out a brand new cigar. Jon a.k.a. Wingfan13 promised to send me one an Ashton Benchmade Robusto if I’d do a […]
Gurkha Special Edition Beast
If you’re anything like me, you feel a little lost when it comes to Gurkha cigars. They fill page after page of cigar catalogs, both online and print. And yet, their own website seems to list a completely different set than you see in your local shop. In short, there’s just no telling how different […]
