I had hoped to post my recently-recorded interview with Pete Johnson during my regularly scheduled slot this week, but connectivity issues are currently preventing me from uploading the HD video. It’s coming soon though, hopefully by the end of the week. In the meantime, I’ve got another cigar-related app review for you: Cigar Boss for […]
Cigar Smoker (app review)
These days, it seems like there’s an app for everything. From blowing out candles to virtual bubble wrap, is there anything the iPhone can’t do (other than 4G/LTE, that is)? Now there’s even an app for the cigar blog reader. Cigar Smoker for iOS is designed to provide mobile access to cigar information, news, and […]
RabbitAir – Sneak Peek unboxing
Welcome to a short and sweet unboxing video of the RabbitAir SPA-780A that I was kindly sent by them to do a review for all you guys and gals. This turned into a basic unboxing video with a couple details because they already had the whole thing set up for me to use. In the […]
Jet 1300-c Butane Lighter
Welcome to, I think, my first accessory review. Today is going to be the very inexpensive Jet 1300-C Butane Lighter. I received two of these lighters from jjo along with a nice selection of cigars, in the hopes I could do a comparison review to something similar like the Blazer. I have not been able […]
Prometheus Retro Lighter
Back in August, Brian, Jerry, and I were fortunate enough to attend IPCPR. While doing press coverage, we stopped over at the Prometheus Booth and were given a product tour by Keith Park. Like years past, the booth was a beautiful display of accessories and cigars, many of which I would have loved to take […]
Aeolus Cigar Spear
A few weeks ago I received an email from our good friend Mark Neff over at Cigarmony. Mark asked if I would be interesting in taking a look at a new product he was carrying and potentially reviewing it. I was more than happy to check it out and a few days later I had […]
Accessory Review: Travel Humidor (Otterbox and Xikar)
When it comes to the hobby of cigar smoking, we all tend to follow along the same path early on in our hobby. For me, I started off storing my cigars in a small desktop humidor that I purchased from ebay. Within a month or so, I outgrew that humidor and moved to creating a […]
Ask The Readers: What do you use for humidification?
Over the past years I’ve been a big supporter and user of humidification beads. Whether its in the form of The Puck or contained within a pair of pantyhose. Recently, I’ve come into possession of Cigar Oasis Ultra to try and see how it performs in one of my humidors. I’ll admit that I was […]
Prometheus Cutter Y
About two months ago, I received an email from one of our sponsors, Steven from Lighters Direct. Steven and I got to talking about an article on cutting cigars. In the exchange, he told me about a new cutter coming out from Prometheus, the Cutter Y. Unfortunately, Steven didn’t have the Cutter Y in stock. […]
Xikar 744 Knife
A little more than two years ago, my wife and I were coming down the home stretch for our wedding. I had purchased a couple of odds and ends as Groomsman’s gifts, but I still wanted to get one more item to finish things off. Due to my interest in cigars, I wanted to include […]
