My Graycliff Tobacco Beetle Adventure
Recently, I had an unpleasant surprise. I have a small collection of Gracliff cigars I keep in one of the drawers in my humidor. It had been a while since I lit one up, and I reached for a blue label “Professionale” torpedo that had been aging for a while. When I lifted it out […]
Oliva Serie G Cameroon (Short Ashes)
Over the weekend I was hustling to get something put together for Sundays post. I had a few errands to run and planned on taking a cigar along for the ride. I got to thinking, since I’m smoking a cigar between stops I might as well bring my camera along and try to kill two […]

This guest review comes from our friend Rich Meade of the Stogie Review Fan Forums. Happy Holidays everyone! I have been exploring the bottom shelf at my b&m for a good month now.

El Titan De Bronze Grand Reserve Maduro Corona
One of my favorite parts of a recent trip to Miami was spending time sipping Cuban coffee and wandering through the cigar factories on Calle Ocho (8th Street) in little Havana.

Accessory Review: Xikar Axia Lighter
