“I’m the happiest man in the world” are the first words from Bill Paley as he takes a moment to address the crowd of 200 guests invited to the La Palina Cigars launch event in Washington DC. Luckily enough, I was one of those 200 guests. Video runs about 8 minutes as Bill (I think […]
Tweets from the Cigar Expo
Last year Brian and I were fortunate enough to attend the 2009 Cigar Expo put on by Famous Smoke Shop. We had an absolute blast and I was eagerly awaiting the 2010 Cigar Expo. Unfortunately, neither Brian or I will be able to make it this year. The travel from Georgia to Pennsylvania is a […]
Don Gonzalez Special Edition Maduro Robusto
I’ve been meaning to light up a Don Gonzalez cigar for a few months now. It’s one of those lines I don’t see around much, but I keep hearing people mention it in conversation. After being asked for at least the third time if I had tried one, I decided to make the effort to […]
Stogie Review Update
Time was really tight this week, so instead of a video review, I decided to do a little Stogie Review update instead. In the video below I talk a little bit about some time off I’ll be taking when the baby arrives. In addition I also talk a little bit about what we have coming […]
K.A. Kendall’s 7-20-4
I hope all the father’s out there had an enjoyable Father’s Day with their family and friends. Now, I was going to copy and paste what our own Brian Hewitt wrote back in November telling the story of the K.A. Kendall’s 7-20-4 but I’m sure he’d appreciate the link love more. So for the back […]
Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Maduro Lancero (Short Ashes)
Last weekend I found myself with some spare time, which is getting harder and harder to come by with the baby so near, and wanted to use it wisely. Knowing that I was going to be in the vicinity of a cigar shop, I got in touch with a couple of people to hang out […]
Arturo Fuente Between the Lines (First Impressions)
I am back yet again for your viewing pleasure. This time I have a first impressions of the Arturo Fuente Between the Lines cigar. I was gifted this cigar by Jason when Walt and I were at CigarFest this year. I have to say, this is one of the nicest looking sticks I have seen […]
D’Crossier Diplomacy Series Golden Blend
One of my favorite things about writing up cigar reviews that it encourages me to seek out new and interesting cigars I might not try otherwise. The exploration is fun, and it’s a bonus when you find a box-worthy gem. But I didn’t have to do much searching to come across the cigar I’m reviewing […]
Aeolus Cigar Spear
A few weeks ago I received an email from our good friend Mark Neff over at Cigarmony. Mark asked if I would be interesting in taking a look at a new product he was carrying and potentially reviewing it. I was more than happy to check it out and a few days later I had […]
Casa Fuente (First Impressions)
Welcome back my fellow cigar smokers to another one of my first impressions reviews. Today I have for you a cigar I have been looking forward to trying, the Casa Fuente. These cigars were supposed to be exclusive to Casa Fuente in Las Vegas but I have actually found them available online for purchase. I […]
