For the first time in Short Ashes history, I decided to review something that I have not reviewed in the past. Instead I have reviewed a cigar that I have smoked several of over the past few months and that Brian was fortunate enough to get his hands on early in the release. That cigar […]
Arganese Nicaraguan Presidente (Short Ashes)

Padilla Habano (Burberry Perfecto)
The Padilla Habano has been a favorite cigar for many of you out there and with the new addition of the Burberry Perfecto to the line, I don’t see that changing any time soon. This new Burberry Perfecto line adds more flair to the Padilla Habano’s already highly rated flavor profile and adds a few […]

YQMA – The Quickie Test

Walt and I do spend about 16 minutes talking about NUB Cigars, SCHIP and our cigar adventures this summer. Our hope is […]

Camacho Coyolar (Short Ashes)
This past week I was sidelined by a blast of allergies, as a result I was unable to get my traditional Friday review done for you. Fortunately, before the allergies kicked in I was able to record a short ashes review of the Camacho Coyolar. Now that my allergies seem to be lessening, it looks […]
