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 […]
Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Muestra de Saka Exclusivo
Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust announced the Muestra de Saka at the 2016 IPCPR. The cigar is meant to be an example of blending of unique blends from Steve Saka, owner and tobacco guru of Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust. The Muestra de Saka will be released every year but with a different blend. These cigars are blends […]
All Out Kings Smash
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 […]
Cohiba Blue Robusto
This week I lit up the latest addition to the Cohiba brand, the more accessibly priced Cohiba Blue. When Ben and I were down in the Dominican Republic touring the General Cigar facilities we got to see the boxes being painted in the factory. The process was fascinating to watch and I’ve been looking forward […]
Guaimaro Robusto
Guaimaro Cigars is the brainchild of Esteban Disla, co-owner of Nica Sueno, the cigar factory of RoMa Craft cigars. Disla partnered up with Skip Martin and Mike Rosales to create RoMa Craft Tobac which produces some of the hot cigars on the market. RoMa Craft’s most famous of which are the Cromagnon and Aquitaine lines, […]
Caldwell Blind Man’s Bluff Robusto
I’m switching things up again this week. My schedule made it difficult to set aside the time it takes to do a video, so I thought I’d borrow a page from Ben’s book do a written review. Or is that steal a page? I’m also swiping most of his format for this review as well. […]
Crowned Heads Las Mareas Olas
The Las Mareas was released in 2016 by Crowned Heads as a more Cubanesque style cigar than the rest of the lines. The cigars were first released in limited quantities with a single silk ribbon at the foot in two sizes and then had a full release at IPCPR in 2016 in four sizes. The […]
