I’ve been a fan of the original Corojo La Vieja Habana line for a while and have gone through a couple of boxes. I think they’re a great value smoke and know quite a few people who agree. The original line was recently revamped with new bands, cellophane, and four wrapper choices including Maduro, Connecticut […]

Joya De Nicaragua Celebracion
Twenty nine years ago today at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines, CMSgt Cruz gave birth to his third and final son, me! That’s right! Today (October 27th) is my 29th birthday. There are plenty of cigars I could choose to smoke to celebrate this occasion. I have a few OpusX aging, the last […]

5 Vegas Classic
Here we have a 5 Vegas Classic Corona that is yet another cigar I received in a trade over at Club Stogie. This corona measures 5.5×44 with a fairly smooth wrapper with but a few small veins. The cap was somewhat sloppy looking but cut cleanly revealing a pleasant draw and taste. There was an […]

Helix XP Maduro
This hefty torpedo comes in at 6×54 with a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, Honduran binder, and a mix of Dominican, Brazilian, and Mexican filler.

Ashton Cabinet #3
This Ashton Cabinet #3 measures 6×46 and is one of the silkiest, smoothest, best looking cigars I have had the pleasure to smoke. I got this one in a trade over at Club Stogie, a popular pastime over there. I’m not kidding, this cigar was nothing less than beautiful, not a vein to be found […]
Havana Honey – Honey Del Sol
Today’s review is brought to you by whom else but my mother. Thanks mom for buying this stogie for me and the whole giving birth thing. My mother isn’t very different from other mothers out there. She doesn’t approve of her son smoking cigars just like she doesn’t approve of her son doing anything that […]
