In my Sneak Peek: My Father Cigars video I showed you two wrappers of the new Jaime Garcia Limited Edition 2011. That video wasn’t entirely true and if I read the Press Release that Jose Ortega had sent me I would’ve been able to explain it more accurately in that video. Don’t worry, what better […]
Jamming with Jameson Cigars
We have a special relationship with our friend Brad Mayo of Jameson Cigars. His first IPCPR was also our first IPCPR and like every year, we take a few minutes to get together and see what is new and what he is working on. Brad is one of my favorite people to hangout with at […]
Kicking it with Andre Farkas
No matter how you feel about Andre Farkas and his Viaje Cigars he’s always gracious with his time and never shies away from talking candidly with us about upcoming releases and the effect being rated #2 Cigar for 2010 in Cigar Aficionado. We were able to catch up with Andre from a few minutes while […]
Hanging with Willy Herrera
Willy Herrera was kind enough to take a break from the hectic Drew Estate booth to tell us what he’s up to these days.
Stogie Stein
One of the interesting things Brian and I discovered on the show floor was the Stogie Stein ashtray. We thought it was pretty unique…what do you think?
Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum
This week we have our good friends Tom and Ed joining us on Stogie Review. The guys take a close look at the Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum. Before playing the video, read over a short message from Tom. After a little break from video reviews, Ed and I finally got together again. Both of […]
Saints & Sinners Smoke Giveaway
What an interesting day it has been…the comments from the Tatuaje 7th Capa Especial review weren’t what I was expecting. A lot of the comments made for a great laugh to get me and others through the day. Its all good but I hate to end the day with so much negative energy fucking with […]
Tatuaje 7th Capa Especial
The newest line extension from the stables of Pete Johnson and Tatuaje Cigars is the Tatuaje 7th Capa Especial. This adds to the 7th line that also consists of the 7th (Ecuadorian Habano) and the 7th Reserva (Connecticut Broadleaf). Same binder and filler as the other two with the 7th Capa Especial sporting a rosado-ish […]
Old School Cigars
Earlier this year while I was in NYC for work I was able to meetup with our friend Barry Stein from acigarsmoker.com. During this meetup Barry passed onto me a handful of Old School Cigars. I remember Barry telling me about them at last year’s IPCPR show. Being a baseball nut I’m always excited to […]
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 […]
