Years ago, back when I first started smoking cigars, I had this crazy idea that cataloging my cigar purchases would be fun and informative. I went out, purchased labels, and adhered them to the cellophane of any cigar I purchased. The cataloging was tedious work but in my mind it would be well worth the […]

It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of the cigars I’ve smoked in the past week (or the past month, or however long it has been since the last issue), […]
2013 Bolivar Belicoso Finos
The Bolivar belicoso finos has been one of the best selling Cuban cigars to date and for good reason. Even when young, its a good smoking cigar. Considered one of the more powerful cigars out of the Cuban brands, these age quite well and mellow out with age. I’ve had several of these over the […]

Davidoff Winston Churchill Churchill
When Davidoff released this new version of the Davidoff Winston Churchill cigar line, I knew a few people that were wondering what to expect from this release. The first version of the Winston Churchill line wasn’t really well received with most cigar smokers because they were pretty expensive and were pretty mild in body and flavor. […]

Week In Smoke – Bayou Edition No. 10
Drew Estate Dirty Rat I was looking through a section of my humidor that I haven’t really dug much around in lately and stumbled upon this Dirty Rat. This one was quite “ratty” looking. As you can see in the picture, the wrapper was many shades of brown. Not sure how that happened, but the looks […]
L’Atelier Lancero
Cigar This week I take a look at the L’Atelier Lancero cigar. I really tossed it around a lot whether I was going to post this because it seems like I got a dud. After smoking it I checked out other reviews and I did not get any of the flavors they did and that […]
