Time was really tight this week, so instead of a video review, I decided to do a little Stogie Review update instead. In the video below I talk a little bit about some time off I’ll be taking when the baby arrives. In addition I also talk a little bit about what we have coming […]
Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Maduro Lancero (Short Ashes)
Last weekend I found myself with some spare time, which is getting harder and harder to come by with the baby so near, and wanted to use it wisely. Knowing that I was going to be in the vicinity of a cigar shop, I got in touch with a couple of people to hang out […]
Aeolus Cigar Spear
A few weeks ago I received an email from our good friend Mark Neff over at Cigarmony. Mark asked if I would be interesting in taking a look at a new product he was carrying and potentially reviewing it. I was more than happy to check it out and a few days later I had […]

Contest: Win a Box of Pinar del Rio 1878 Cubano Especial Cigars

Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 – 50 Year
A few weeks ago I was hanging out at Kensington Tobacconist when the latest shipment from CAO Cigars arrived. Within that shipment of mostly CAO La Traviata’s were a couple of boxes of the Carlos Torano 1959 Exodus 50 Year cigars. At the time I didn’t think much of them as my interest in Torano […]

While working around the house I glanced up at the clock and had an “Oh Crap” moment. I was loosing daylight and hadn’t realized my painting project had taken much longer than anticipated and we were lacking a post for today. Growing weary, I cleaned out my paint roller and dashed off for a cigar […]
