Punch Rare Corojo (2009)
First and foremost, I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend. I hope along with your steak, ribs, burgers, hot dogs and endless cigars, you set aside a few moments and thank all those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice. We’re a melting pot of people and we don’t agree on much, […]
La Flor Dominicana Salomon
Really need to thank my boy @ChiefHava for sending me the Salomon by La Flor Dominicana. Hopefully @ChiefHava gets back from Panama soon so we can resume our perpetual trading. I was hesitant to smoke the Salomon. Most of Litto Gomez’s creations are known for their power and I’ve had some out of body experiences […]

Dona Flor Selecao (Guest Review)
The Tom and Ed show is back once again for another cigar review. This time the guys take on the Dona Flor Selecao cigar.
El Titan de Bronze Grand Reserve Cameroon
I’m a sucker for Cameroon wrapper cigars. Something about a Cameroon wrapper that calls me. Maybe it has to do with how delicate the wrapper is or the exotic flavors. My exposure to El Titan de Bronze is limited to one Redemption that I got during a box pass but while I was here in […]

Cuba Aliados Miami
I always hesitate doing these types of reviews. I never feel comfortable or confident recording a review based on just smoking a cigar one time. There are too many variables when it comes to reviewing cigars and I always try to give a manufacturer the benefit of the doubt and a fair chance to impress […]
NUB Coverage
Concluding our coverage of Cigar Fest 2009, here is some footage from the NUB booth. You can see Sam Leccia rolling a NUB Maduro including patching a wrapper, some fans presenting Sam with a wood carving and Sam rewarding them with a few NUB cigars that you can’t buy and carry his own personal label.
