Hello and welcome to another interview, this time with Mr Enrique Sanchez of 1502 cigars. I have had the privelage of being able to get together with a lot of great manufacturers these past few weeks over at Genuine Tobacco (thank you Stephen) and Enrique was no exception. If you have the chance to attend […]
La Hermandad by El Primer Mundo
Imagine my surprise when I sat down to record a Short Ashes Review of the La Hermandad, by El Primer Mundo, and realized that we haven’t done an in-depth review of this cigar yet. How is that even possible, Brian Hewitt and Sean Williams are in the same area and see one another regularly? While […]
Inception Cigars (plus giveaway)
A while back, I received some samples of a newly released brand called Inception Cigars. If there’s some confusion over the name “Inception,” these Inception Cigars come from the folks at JSR Cigar Distributors in Houston. I believe there is at least one other brand from a separate company offered under the name “Inception,” but […]

He suggested that I put together a series and go through all of the available Diesel Cigars. I thought Jerry’s idea was great and began the […]
La Aurora Corojo
Years ago, when I first began visiting local cigar shops, I developed a bad habit of avoiding anything from La Aurora with the old-school-looking lion band. No matter what size or shape I tried, I just couldn’t enjoy it, no matter how hard I tried. That early distaste for the cigar still causes a bit […]
Davidoff Millennium Blend Lancero
This morning I woke up to a variety of alerts on my phone. The first one I read was in reference to a review of a Swisher Electronic Cigar on Stogie Review. While I’m a firm believer in a united cigar smoking community, I struggled with the concept of such a product being reviewed here. […]
