Several years ago I was making the rounds at cigar shops in my area and I had an idea. Our video reviews were doing very well and perhaps we could generate some additional interest if I were to record local lounge patrons and gather their opinion on cigars. The catch was that I wanted to […]
Sometimes you just can’t beat a dark and smokey cigar lounge
Things around the White household have been fairly hectic lately. Besides the busyness of everyday life, over the past week and a half, my wife and I have been watching a deck being built in our back yard. The construction hasn’t bothered us too much, not directly anyway, but it has thrown our dog out […]
Ask The Readers: What does it take to put on a good cigar event?
At this very moment it is 61 degrees and sunny in my little piece of Pennsylvania. It is a beautiful day (for a change) and I find myself holed up in Sir Stogies with a little glass of Zaya and a Drew Estate Undercrown. So, why am I wasting such a beautiful day inside? Well, […]
Punch Signature
As much as I like to think I am young and hip, when it comes to the marketing of cigars, I am a traditionalist at heart. If you will like some good ideas for traditional marketing that might work for your line of business, visit indexsy. I don’t like flashy packaging (does anyone remember the […]
Hoyo De Monterrey Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight
Years ago, back when I first started smoking cigars, I had this crazy idea that cataloging my cigar purchases would be fun and informative. I went out, purchased labels, and adhered them to the cellophane of any cigar I purchased. The cataloging was tedious work but in my mind it would be well worth the […]
Colibri Astoria Triple Jet Lighter
When it comes to cigar accessories there is one that you simply can not do without. If you’re in a bind and find yourself without a cutter, a pocket knife, fingernails, or even teeth can open up the cigar. They may not do the prettiest job but the job gets done. You really can’t say […]
I want a cigar that will knock me over!
Yesterday afternoon I was feeling bored. With plenty to do around the house and no desire to do any of it, I made the decision to get out for a little while. I hopped in my car and made the grueling 0.8 Mile ride to Sir Stogies to watch football with the guys. As I […]
Tortuga Reserva (Box Pressed)
Over the past few weeks I’ve developed an addiction. My drug of choice has been the Tortuga Reserva Alma. It seems like every time I purchase them, with the intention of reviewing one, I smoke every single one of them before I manage to fire up the camera and record my thoughts. On one shoulder […]
Esteban Carreras Chupa Cabra
A couple of weeks ago I was driving home from work and decided to swing into my local B&M, Sir Stogies. I was in the mood for a firecracker of a cigar and was short on time. I made my way into the humidor and found an empty box of Guerrilla Warfare. I poked around […]
Casa Fernandez Aniversario 2014
Early last week I came home from work to find a package waiting for me on my front porch. I glanced at the shipping label and got all excited. It isn’t very often that I receive samples from Casa Fernandez but when they arrive, they tend to be a rare treat. I wasted no time […]
