You didn’t think you were gonna go a week without The Great Torpedo did you? Thanks to @brianhewitt for letting me post on his beloved Wednesday spot. Gotta love teamwork! This week I bring you the La Riqueza #3 by Pete Johnson and blended by the hottest or at least the busiest blender in the […]
Java by Drew Estates
Well another week, another late review. I should really plan on recording these on Friday instead of waiting till the last minute and then get bogged down at work on Monday morning. I do a better job editing when I’m not rushed…anyway, a much anticipated review of the Java by Drew Estates. I put it […]
Series JJ, IPCPR & My Little Robusto
This week is a special week…my little robusto would’ve been one year old this week so I smoke a cigar that bears his initials, listen to a song my another JJ (Jack Johnson) and just remember better, happier times. Long ashes:

Carlos Toraño Tribute 2008 & Rocky Patel Renaissance

IPCPR 2008 – Gurkha Booth Tour
So there we were…(we meaning, myself, Brian, Walt and Cigar Jack) just wanting to take a peak at the Gurkha booth. Some of us decided to sit down when “the boss” asked me if “we are being helped?” I said “no” and the boss shouts out to a rep to “take care of us”. Seeing […]
IPCPR 2008: Devil’s Weed
Probably one of the most interesting cigar names out there is Devil’s Weed, a cigar produced by the Molina Cigar Co. out of Pensacola FL. Their literature tells the story of how Christopher Columbus (Colon) brought the tobacco plant back with him to Spain and how the Spanish Inquisition condemned tobacco referring to it as […]
