Back once again, with taste buds that are still a little out of whack from a bout with allergies, I have for you a short video on the Oliva Serie V Liga Especial. This review was recorded outside in my yard (while seated to prevent dizzy spells as caused by my Camacho Coyolar review). Video […]
Camacho Coyolar (Short Ashes)
This past week I was sidelined by a blast of allergies, as a result I was unable to get my traditional Friday review done for you. Fortunately, before the allergies kicked in I was able to record a short ashes review of the Camacho Coyolar. Now that my allergies seem to be lessening, it looks […]

Perdomo Edicion de Silvio Maduro Torpedo
Today’s review is another trip down the Rodeo Drive aisle of the humidor with what has been called the Perdomo family’s crowning tobacco achievement, the Edicion de Silvio. Created with a secret blend of rare cuban-seed tobaccos, this uber premium cigar was produced in Nicaragua to commemorate Nick Perdomo’s late grandfather, Silvio Perdomo who worked […]

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 Corojo (Short Ashes)
For this weeks short ashes segment, I had planned on smoking the Camacho Candela to commemorate St. Patrick’s Day. Coincidentally, last week I reviewed the Alec Bradley Harvest Selection 1997 while Jerry had planned to review it as well, this week we had the opposite happen. Due to my never being able to top Jerry […]

Casa Royale Crown by Don Pepin Garcia (Guest Review)
This is the description of the cigar per Holt’s website: “This cigar shares a wrapper leaf with Tatuaje’s prized Black Label. It certainly isn’t Pepin’s strongest blend but what it lacks in punch it more than makes up for with a complex and dizzying blast of flavors ranging from spicy earth and cedar to creamy […]
Tatuaje Black Robusto
I would have loved to review a candela cigar this week in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, but sadly, I didn’t have much luck finding one in time. Call it luck of the Irish, Jerry saw to it that the need for a green cigar review was filled. Complete with a fiery red beard and […]
