Well folks, we’re getting closer…while not an “official” YQMA release, I recruited Walt as a guinea pig to try using a combination of software packages to test a split screen version of YQMA. Walt and I do spend about 16 minutes talking about NUB Cigars, SCHIP and our cigar adventures this summer. Our hope is […]
Rocky Patel Cuban Blend (Maduro)
My review of the Rocky Patel Winter Collection (2009) a few weeks back has renewed my love of Rocky Patel cigars. During this lovefest I discovered that I’ve never reviewed the Rocky Patel Cuban Blend. Similar to the Honduran Classic, the Cuban Blend is a Famous Exclusive…meaning you can only get them at Famous Smoke […]
Camacho Candela
Okay so probably not the most serious review I’ve ever done. Just something funny I put together to get you through the day and in the mood to pound a few back after work. Video runs a little over 6:00 and I promise I’ll never do an Irish accent again. Long ashes…
Trilogy Authentic Corojo by Alec Bradley
Well since Walt stole my review last week..actually “stole” isn’t a fair way to describe it. Since Walt beat me to the punch in reviewing the Harvest Selection I turned my attention to the Authentic Corojo in the Trilogy line by Alec Bradley. I’m not familiar with Alec Bradley cigars. I do have a few […]
Tatuaje Noella Reserva
Hmmm maybe thats Reserva Noellas…whatever, it don’t matter. Its not important. What is important is that these Noellas are bang’n. Imagine if a Tatuaje Black and a Tatuaje Brown got together, hooked up and had babies. Pete Johnson describes the Tatuaje Noella Reserva as a “little monster” (in reference to The Frank in his Monster […]
Trinidad INGENIOUS Edicion Limitada 2007
Back with another Habanos review. Trust me when I say I have a back log of these to do. Look forward to a Cohiba Pyramids Edicion Limitada 2006, a Punch Punch and a very lovely aged Bolivar but this week I have the first and only Edicion Limitada made by Trinidad. The Trinidad Ingenious Edicion […]
23 Minutes with Pete Johnson
Pete Johnson was in the MD/DC area this week doing the tours of three of the local shops in the area. I met up with Pete at W.Curtis Drapers in DC for the 1st Friday event (every 1st Friday of the Month they have someone in the shop for an event). Pete was generous to […]
Ambos Mundos (Sumatra)
Word! Shout out to Jason Alcantara who gave me the heads up that the Ambos Mundos was available at a local B&M. Now if you remember back towards Halloween and my 26 Minutes with Pete Johnson interview you will remember that Pete talked a little bit about an economical smoke due out early in 2009. […]
Camacho Cajones (Liga 3-1)
Shakespeare (yes I’m quoting Shakespeare so remember this post, it maybe a trivia question someday) wrote in Romeo and Juliet: What’s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet And that brings me to the Camacho Cajones, or Liga 3-1 or Escaparate…the name doesn’t matter as […]
Rocky Patel Winter Collection (2009)
“Your biggest fans will always be your harshest critics…” That’s how I’d sum up my relationship with Rocky Patel cigars. I’ve praised him for his great cigars and bashed him for his lousy cigars. Well, what can I say? This is one of those cigars well worth the praise. Rocky hit the Winter Collection out […]
