Back on the Cuban bandwagon with what I call a “tier 2” Cuban cigar. The Por Larrañaga is an economical smoke with these Panatellas costing around $2 a stick (less than $50 for a box of 25). Along with the Jose L. Piedra the Por Larrañga doesn’t have the consistent, beautiful, blemish free wrappers like […]
El Triunfador
Rated it a 91 Lisa from Her Humidor -> Said it was “well balanced and strong” Stew from The World According to Stew -> Stew gave it 2 Thumbs Up
5 Vegas Miami (Knuckle)
Wow look at me! Two days in a row for two weeks straight! That has to be some kind of record? So I have to give fair warning because its not often that Angry/Irritated version of The Great Torpedo makes an appearance, in fact its probably been since the Equus days where I said if […]
Padilla Miami (Fabrica de Tabacos Padilla)
First let me point out there isn’t any controversial music this week. Its only when I post outside my normal Monday slot that I go outside my “Hulk Hogan” music. Need to give thanks to Carlos in NJ for bringing this to my attention. I was twittering about getting these and Carlos asked me if […]
Humidor Tour
My apologies to Walt, I know he wanted me to do a poll but decided I’d make up for being a slacker in my H.Upmann Reserve Maduro review and take you all on a little tour. Lately I’ve received some messages about what the boxes look like from the Cuban cigars I’ve smokes so I […]
H.Upmann Reserve Maduro
Yo yo! Jerry here this week and I’m rolling “slacker” style. No HD camera, no music, just a quick 9 minute review of the H.Upmann Reserve Maduro. Congrats to Steeler fans (can’t say I was cheering for you) but after that amazing Super Bowl and the hour long episode of The Office after, I wasn’t […]
Vegas Robaina
If you remember from my Top 10 Cigars of 2008 list I mentioned the Vegas Robaina as being one of them that I hadn’t reviewed just yet. After popular demand for another Cuban cigar review I decided what better time to review it. Video runs close to 20 minutes and my apologies for coughing in […]
Rocky Patel Decade
Cigar: Rocky Patel Decade Vitola: Robusto Ring Gauge: 50 Length: 5.00 Wrapper: Ecuadorian Binder: Honduran Filler: Nicaraguan Origin: Honduras Price Point: $8.30 Brand: The Decade, by Rocky Patel, was a release to celebrate Rocky’s ten years in the cigar business. To accompany this cigar for the anniversary, Rocky also produced a ITC 10th anniversary to […]
CI Legends Orange (Rocky Patel)
Its been awhile since I reviewed my last cigar from the CI Legends Serie. I’ve received some mail wondering why I haven’t reviewed any Rocky Patel cigars in awhile and thought this would be the perfect time to continue the series and review the Orange Label. Video runs a little over 19 minutes and along […]
CAO Lx2
I want to preface this review the same way I did in the video. These Lx2 were gifted to me by Jon Huber of CAO Cigars. Jon was nice enough to send me a few Lx2’s to try after having a conversation on Twitter about how they can be hard to find and how I’ve […]
