Between the diminutive Reinado Habanito and the new Grand Empire Reserve, Reinado cigars have appeared favorably in half a dozen of our Week in Smoke posts in the past year. […]

E Cigars by BOTL LLC [Esencia] (first impressions)
With limited time again this week, I figured I should look for something interesting to serve as the subject for a first impressions video review.

Diesel Grind (Short Ashes)
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I was struck with the desire to take a ride out to the new Cigars International Superstore in Hamburg, PA. Being in such close proximity to Cabela’s, I was a little afraid of what I might encounter with Black Friday Madness in full swing. Cabin Fever won out over wanting to […]
