Really hope that my boy @waltw gets enough rest. I know he’s been feeling under the weather this week so I’m filling in for him while he gets some much deserved extra rest. I know, I know, I’ve reviewed the Partagas Black before but the past week or so, my old review has gotten some […]

Rocky Patel Edge Sumatra (Short Ashes)
After attending a Rocky Patel event a couple of weeks ago featuring the new Renaissance, I came across some information that it is supposed to be identical to the Edge Sumatra. Knowing that I had one Edge Sumatra left over from a package from Ace, I decided to fire it up and look back on […]
