Mombacho Liga Maestro Gordo
Mombacho, named after the famed volcano in Nicaragua, was founded in 2006 by Cameron Heaps and Markus Raty. They discovered the blend for their first cigar by visiting a cigar factory next to a school where Cameron was taking spanish lessons in while living in Granada in 2005. They convinced the family to share their […]
CAO Amazon Fuma Em Corda Robusto
CAO released a cigar called the Amazon Basin in 2014 to much fanfare. I was never able to get my hands on one, though and, to be honest, I thought it was a gimmicky cigar. Fast forward to 2016 and I was able to get my hands on the 2016 release of the cigar at […]
Southern Draw Quickdraw Pennsylvania Panatela
The first cigar I ever tried from Southern Draw Cigars was the Kudzu Gordo. As most of you know, I’m not a fan of the big ring gauge cigars, but Robert Holt, owner of Southern Draw Cigars, just asked me to give it a chance. The blend on that cigar was tweaked just for that […]
Casa Fernandez Aganorsa Leaf Maduro Ilustre
I can’t believe it’s been about six and a half years since I reviewed the original Casa Fernandez Aganorsa Leaf with the sun grown corojo wrapper. I declared it box-worthy back then (also in 2016), and still stand by that verdict. I also stand by my liberal use of the tribal textile in my pictures […]
MBombay Gaaja Toro
As you may have already heard, the MBombay Gaaja takes its name from a Sanskrit word meaning Elephant. For fun I googled the name, and found it also has other meanings in Hindi, like lightning, bombshell and thunderclap. It kind of makes you wonder what you’re in for before lighting up the cigar. But the […]

All Out Kings was one of the most high anticipated releases from IPCPR 2016. The All Out Kings is a collaboration with Caldwell Cigars and Drew Estate Cigars. Both companies are known to push the boundaries in the cigar world so them collaborating on a cigar is not a surprise. The brainchild of Robert Caldwell, […]
Le Veil iCigar® DCH-60b Electronic Humidifer
Well howdy, today I am going to take a look at a new humidifier I recently purchased, the Le Veil iCigar® DCH-60b. This humidifier is made for larger humidors and could fit nicely into a tower humidor or a large end table humidor. It has a MSRP of $199.95 but you can find it for […]
