The worst part of vacation is the part where you realize that the week has gone by too fast and you’re on a flight back home. Orlando was great! Got to visit Magic Kingdom and Epcot for the first time and got to hangout with a few cigar peeps. While I was in Orlando I […]
Padilla Habano (Burberry Perfecto)
The Padilla Habano has been a favorite cigar for many of you out there and with the new addition of the Burberry Perfecto to the line, I don’t see that changing any time soon. This new Burberry Perfecto line adds more flair to the Padilla Habano’s already highly rated flavor profile and adds a few […]
Cruzado
I know…I know…I know…his name is Dion not Don. For whatever reason my mind was already in vacation mode so I kept saying Don instead of Dion. Video runs around 12 minutes and while I forget to say it in the video, the Cruzado gets the Great Torpedo Seal of Approval. Not only do I […]
YQMA – The Quickie Test
Well folks, we’re getting closer…while not an “official” YQMA release, I recruited Walt as a guinea pig to try using a combination of software packages to test a split screen version of YQMA. Walt and I do spend about 16 minutes talking about NUB Cigars, SCHIP and our cigar adventures this summer. Our hope is […]

Rocky Patel Cuban Blend (Maduro)
My review of the Rocky Patel Winter Collection (2009) a few weeks back has renewed my love of Rocky Patel cigars. During this lovefest I discovered that I’ve never reviewed the Rocky Patel Cuban Blend. Similar to the Honduran Classic, the Cuban Blend is a Famous Exclusive…meaning you can only get them at Famous Smoke […]
Camacho Candela
Okay so probably not the most serious review I’ve ever done. Just something funny I put together to get you through the day and in the mood to pound a few back after work. Video runs a little over 6:00 and I promise I’ll never do an Irish accent again. Long ashes…
Trilogy Authentic Corojo by Alec Bradley
Well since Walt stole my review last week..actually “stole” isn’t a fair way to describe it. Since Walt beat me to the punch in reviewing the Harvest Selection I turned my attention to the Authentic Corojo in the Trilogy line by Alec Bradley. I’m not familiar with Alec Bradley cigars. I do have a few […]
Tatuaje Noella Reserva
Hmmm maybe thats Reserva Noellas…whatever, it don’t matter. Its not important. What is important is that these Noellas are bang’n. Imagine if a Tatuaje Black and a Tatuaje Brown got together, hooked up and had babies. Pete Johnson describes the Tatuaje Noella Reserva as a “little monster” (in reference to The Frank in his Monster […]
Trinidad INGENIOUS Edicion Limitada 2007
Back with another Habanos review. Trust me when I say I have a back log of these to do. Look forward to a Cohiba Pyramids Edicion Limitada 2006, a Punch Punch and a very lovely aged Bolivar but this week I have the first and only Edicion Limitada made by Trinidad. The Trinidad Ingenious Edicion […]
