Last week, Jerry and I were discussing my current commute cigar dilemma. In the morning, when I leave my house before 5:00am, my ride to work takes roughly 35 minutes. No matter what I seem to select as a commute cigar, I always wind up throwing away a portion of it. First I tried a […]
Re+United by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo & Michael Giannini
Today I bring you something a little different than my usual Week in Smoke. Since around this time every year I usually spend a lot of time in front of a camera, I thought I’d try my hand at video cigar review. And I picked a cigar that I’ve been meaning to review for a […]
BG Meyer Standard Issue
Wrapper : Nicaraguan Habano Binder : Nicaraguan Filler : Nicaraguan Source : Bought at Tobacco Company in Lemoyne Welcome to this weeks cigar review of the BG Meyer Standard Issue. I found this at a (kind of) local shop and figured I would give it a shot. This cigar is available in five sizes, Robusto […]
Casa Miranda Chapter Two by Nestor Miranda
Last week I set aside a little time to get out to Sir Stogies for a Miami Cigar Event. It has been a while since I’ve attended an event and I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet up with my local rep, Chris Lenzo, and get caught up on what I’ve missed […]
Punch Rare Corojo
Before we get into the review, I want to point out that this video is slightly dated. A couple of weeks ago I was preparing to move to my new home. Not wanting to miss a week, I recorded a review of the Punch Rare Corojo the night before my big move. On the day […]

CAO America Anthem – revisit
This week i take a look at the CAO America Anthem once again. I got a hold of a few of these and am going to try and keep them to smoke one or two a year and I figured it was July 4th, so I might as well light one up and chat at […]
Sancho Panza Double Maduro
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 […]
