Right around the time that Mike wrapped up his Augusto Reyes Series, which incuded the Nativo, Maduro, Criollo, Gran Cru, and Epicure, I received a Direct Message on Twitter. Augusto Reyes asked if I would be interested in reviewing a new product in the Augusto Reyes Urban. I accepted the offer and received a package, […]

Listen to Walt on BOTcast Episode 8
On Friday I had the chance to get together with the guys from the BOTcast and hang out for a bit on Skype. Much like the episode Jerry was on, things were laid back and very easy going. In the short time that I was on, we had some good conversation and plenty of laughs. […]

Earlier this week I was browsing through Facebook updates when I came across an interesting teaser from Rob Heming, host of the Blowin’ Smoke Podcast.
