Alec Bradley Trilogy Authentic Corojo
Wow, this week was a bit of a challenge, and I’m just talking about picking the cigar to review! Every time I had set my mind on a cigar to review, I found Walt and Jerry had already covered it. Sometimes twice! Of course, strictly speaking we don’t have a policy here about never reviewing […]

Gran Habano VL Gran Churchill
Now that I’ve recovered from a handy little bout with bronchitis, its time to review that Gran Habano I mentioned in comments of Walt’s Corojo #5 review. I’ve been a big fan of the Corojo #5, so I’ve really been looking forward to checking out the VL. The VL stands for “Very Limited” which is […]

CAO Italia Ciao
I know, I know, I promised to review a Gran Habano cigar this week. Well the thing is, I’ve been down with a nasty little bit of bronchitis for the past week, so I’m pulling my notes for a cigar review I planned to do on my home blog. I fact, my friends over at […]

This particular vitola is the Rothschild and measures in at 4.50 inches long with a 50 ring gauge. Just as the name implies, the wrapper […]
Palmas Puro Maduro Petite Corona
Well, I’m a little late getting this review up, but for good reason. It seemed all the forces of the cigar universe bended their will against it. And in that regard, it kind of reminds me of the cigar up for review this week. But we’ll get to the similarity between the smoking experience and […]
Montesino Maduro – No. 2
To continue where I left off, here we are once again with our next installment of the bargain cigar rundown for 2007. Up for review this time is the Montesino Maduro, which was recommended for last years bargain list by our friend Jabba (and who says we don’t get around to review requests 😉 ). […]
Avalon Honeyboy Lancero
It looks like I’m beginning to get a bit of a reputation. (I’m not sure if it’s a good one or not, but a bad one can be more fun than a good one.) Because when Tom Ramsey of Avalon Cigars was planning on passing through Atlanta to sign up a handful of new customers […]
