It is kind of funny that with IPCPR on the horizon and my last Week in Smoke mainly containing new releases that I turn to the Sancho Panza Double Maduro. With Walt recently reviewing the Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte I thought this would compliment his review. Plus, with us trying to get back to basics […]
Nat Sherman 1930 (Short Ashes)
A few weeks ago I received a surprise email from the folks over at Nat Sherman. They asked if I would be interested in trying their Nat Sherman 1930 and possibly putting together a review. Times are tough and I’m in no position to turn down cigars, so I gratefully accepted. A short time later […]
Macanudo 1968 (Short Ashes)
Over the weekend I found myself in a particularly good mood and inspiration to record a cigar review struck. I cracked open my coolidor with the intention of digging around for something interesting. Before I could move a single cigar, I spotted a Macanudo 1968 perched on the top of the pile. Prior to the […]

Well, you could roll out of bed, make yourself a cup off coffee, grab a EPC Cardinal Maduro, and take advantage of the deep, sultry, morning voice while recording a cigar review. The back-story as […]
Drew Estate Undercrown Gran Toro
Earlier this week I posted a review of the Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte and the comments on that review were inspiring. As I read through them, while smoking a Drew Estate Undercrown Gran Toro, I got the sudden urge to fire up my video camera. At first I didn’t want to do the review, mostly […]
Ashton Classic Crystal #1
CIGAR Checking out the Ashton Classic Crystal #1 and I get a slight barnyard on the wrapper and just tobacco on the foot and cold draw. This is only available in one size a 6.5×44 at a MSRP of $11 a stick. Plunging right into this Ashton Classic Crystal #1 with a meaty fruit taste […]
Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte
When was the last time you considered smoking a Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte? I know, it is practically an old-timey cigar that isn’t hip anymore. Chances are, you’ve been walking past them in your local cigar shop for years and didn’t even realize it. Even though I haven’t smoke a Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte in […]
