Of all the cigars being introduced at this past RTDA, the San Cristobal may have been the cigar I was most looking forward to trying. And try as I might, I had no luck in securing a sample. So when these guys went on sale in a nearby cigar shop I beat feet over to […]
Primer Mundo Rosado Oscuro Perfecto
This week I’m taking a look at a hometown cigar. That’s right, Atlanta, GA has a cigar manufacturer! And that cigar maker is El Primer Mundo! But if you come to Atlanta looking for a large warehouse of slowly fermenting tobacco, you won’t find it. Neither will you find rows of skilled cigar rollers working […]
CAO Sopranos Soldier

OK, I’m kidding, I was actually busy schmoozing at RTDA (I have proof!), and still have every intention of getting […]

This is Brian Hewitt of Brian’s Random (Cigar) Thoughts and I’m filling in for Jerry while he’s away tending to the new edition to his family, the wee lil torpedo! I also should give Walt and Jerry a quick thanks for maintaining such an essential […]
