When it comes to cigar accessories there is one that you simply can not do without. If you’re in a bind and find yourself without a cutter, a pocket knife, fingernails, or even teeth can open up the cigar. They may not do the prettiest job but the job gets done. You really can’t say […]
CAO Nasty Nutcracker – Christmas 2014
Cigar I love these boxes. It is a nice departure from normal holiday samplers and such. This CAO Nasty Nutcracker is based on the CAO Gold line but has been tweaked to be a little bolder than the normal line. Starting out it has a bit of spice at the beginning which I have gotten […]

Round one of holiday overeating is in the books, and with any luck you’ve napped the tryptophan completely out of your system. I hope any weight you may have gained in the past week accentuates your nicest features. I know my abs have never been larger or more uniform, I don’t even have to flex […]
Week In Smoke No. 8 – Bayou Edition
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with plenty of good smokes. Nothing follows a great meal better than a nice cigar. Luckily, I had a good bit of down time and didn’t have to do as much cooking as I normally do this Thanksgiving thanks to my family. That means more time for cigars […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 67
