Huge thanks to Carlos aka Boofa for his very generous care package he sent me last week. I gotta say, I enjoyed this cigar more than I thought I would. I actually thought the cigar would be harsh and I would label the cigar as a DNF. To my surprise I really enjoyed the flavor […]
CAO Criollo Pampas
The 4×40 CAO Criollo Pampas is a Nicaraguan puro with a Cuban-seed Criollo 1998 wrapper. This particular cigar had a very rustic looking wrapper that was obviously rather small given the number of turns it made around this short cigar, all capped off with a very nice looking pigtail. It had a very rich and […]
Odor Eliminator Comparison
A few weeks ago, I received an email asking me how I kept the odor of smoke to a minimum in my basement while smoking. My answer was that I use a typical box fan in one window to pull air across the room from another open window. As the air travels across the room […]
Rocky Patel Connecticut
First I have to apologize for the rush job on the video. I really wasn’t on my game tonight as it seemed all day long I was behind in everything I needed to do. Just the way it goes in my world of a father-to-be. The Rocky Patel Connecticut came up in discussion during my […]
Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles
This is another creation from Pete Johnson and Pepin Garcia, produced in Pepin’s Tabacalera Cubana factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. The Angeles is a Nicaraguan puro with a silky Corojo 99 wrapper weighing in at 4-5/8×42. The Havana VI is reported to be a milder blend than the original Tatuaje with the brown band. Similar to […]

Episode 1 – Your Questions, My Answers (20:35)
Okay so the title for this series is a little lame. Its something that will need to be brainstormed on but basically we receive a fair amount of questions and comments from YouTube, Skype, AOL IM and e-mail. I just wanted to take some time to share my answers to some of these questions. Your […]
Montesino Diplomatico
This 5.5×42, slightly box-pressed, maduro wrapped beauty came to me courtesy of a trade and while I’m usually pretty good at keeping track of what I’ve got in the humidors and where it came from I can’t remember for the life of me where this one came from. The wrapper was dark and oily and […]
Montecristo White
While I was wishing for something white on Christmas here in Maryland, the closest I got to a white Christmas was enjoying my Montecristo White cigar. This is the Toro sized Montecristo White and comes in at 6 long with a 54 ring gauge. The Montecristo White features an Ecuadorian wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler […]
Camacho Negro
Several months ago I read a topic on Club Stogie that pertained to splitting a couple of boxes of cigars. The boxes in question were a box of CAO Brazillia and a box of Camacho Negro. Being a little strapped for cash I contacted this person and asked if he was willing to split the […]
