unfortunately, my available free time did not work out as planned over the weekend. I had some things that needed to be taken care of around the house and what not so I missed my video this week. In it’s place I thought it would be a good idea to group the bargain cigars together […]
Gran Habano #5 Corojo
Up for review this week is yet another Bargain level cigar which comes in at less than $3.00 per single (including shipping). That cigar is the Gran Habano #5 Corojo. This particular vitola is the Rothschild and measures in at 4.50 inches long with a 50 ring gauge. Just as the name implies, the wrapper […]
Palmas Puro Maduro Petite Corona
Well, I’m a little late getting this review up, but for good reason. It seemed all the forces of the cigar universe bended their will against it. And in that regard, it kind of reminds me of the cigar up for review this week. But we’ll get to the similarity between the smoking experience and […]
Smoke Lies, and the Nanny State
If you haven’t already read the article (It’s been floating around on the many cigars forums alot lately) I would definitely recommend checking it out. The essay is a long read but well worth the time. Below you will find a link to Joe Jackson’s website where you can read/download the pdf article. It can […]
Montesino Maduro – No. 2
To continue where I left off, here we are once again with our next installment of the bargain cigar rundown for 2007. Up for review this time is the Montesino Maduro, which was recommended for last years bargain list by our friend Jabba (and who says we don’t get around to review requests 😉 ). […]
Avalon Honeyboy Lancero
