Last week I set aside a little time to get out to Sir Stogies for a Miami Cigar Event. It has been a while since I’ve attended an event and I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet up with my local rep, Chris Lenzo, and get caught up on what I’ve missed […]
Punch Rare Corojo
Before we get into the review, I want to point out that this video is slightly dated. A couple of weeks ago I was preparing to move to my new home. Not wanting to miss a week, I recorded a review of the Punch Rare Corojo the night before my big move. On the day […]

CAO America Anthem – revisit
This week i take a look at the CAO America Anthem once again. I got a hold of a few of these and am going to try and keep them to smoke one or two a year and I figured it was July 4th, so I might as well light one up and chat at […]
Punch Gusto
As you might have noticed, we have been doing several reviews lately of cigars that have been around quite awhile. Most of these cigars are cigars we reviewed when we first started reviewing or are cigars we smoked a lot of when we first started smoking cigars. There were two different cigar brands I used […]
Is Aging Cigars Worth it? 1998 Punch Churchill
I really don’t like posting reviews on cigars that many of you can’t get for one reason or another, but I always seem to get the question on whether aging cigars is worth or not. My answer is always the same. It depends. Usually cigars mellow out and get smoother as they age so if […]
Sancho Panza Double Maduro
It is kind of funny that with IPCPR on the horizon and my last Week in Smoke mainly containing new releases that I turn to the Sancho Panza Double Maduro. With Walt recently reviewing the Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte I thought this would compliment his review. Plus, with us trying to get back to basics […]
Nat Sherman 1930 (Short Ashes)
A few weeks ago I received a surprise email from the folks over at Nat Sherman. They asked if I would be interested in trying their Nat Sherman 1930 and possibly putting together a review. Times are tough and I’m in no position to turn down cigars, so I gratefully accepted. A short time later […]
