So I lied in Part One…I thought this was going to be a three part series but it turns out to be only two. Part Two is jammed pack with Litto telling great stories including how he tweets from his horse while on his farm in the Dominican, the impact of social media, family member […]
Room 101 San Andres 305
The cold shiver that just ran down Matt Booth’s spine means I’m back with another Room 101 cigar review. (Don’t worry, I’ll be on my best behavior.) This time I’m taking a look at the recently released Room 101 San Andres, or “Serie SA” as noted on the band. And has been my custom lately, […]
Quesada Q D’etat Molotov
Ever since I fell in love with the Domus Magnus last year I’ve been on this journey tasting all things under the Quesada umbrella. One of the newer releases is the Q D’etat Series. The first of what is to be three releases is the Quesada Q D’etat Molotov. An interesting shaped Dominican puro perfecto […]
Ashton ESG – 23 Year Salute
While we have an assortment of reviews of the Ashton VSG it is surprising that we haven’t reviewed anything in the Ashton ESG Series. I would’ve thought our resident baller, Brian Hewitt, with all his Zino, Davidoff and Ashton dinners would’ve reviewed one of the four releases by now. Maybe it is the $20+ price […]
Man O’War Phalanx (Side Projects)
Surprises are nice. For those of you who are fans of the Man O’War series like I am knew we had a maduro version of the Puro Authentico to look forward to this year. A couple weeks ago what should show up on CI, Cigar.com and their associated catalogs? The Man O’War Side Projects series. […]
AKA Cigars – Respect
A few weeks back we received an email from AKA Cigars asking if we would be interested in reviewing their product. We were happy to give the cigars a try and a short time later, samples arrived at my doorstep. While I waited for cigars to arrive, I headed over to the AKA Cigars Website […]
Whirlpool AP51030K Air Purifier Review
Welcome all my friends. I have had so much peer pressure put on me to get this review done, I figured I would cave in and do it now. Yes, my head is cut off on most of it. Some may say that is a good thing. I hope you enjoy the review and as […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 11
Back once again due to a heavier than average day job work load here’s 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 […]
Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight
Thanks for all the feedback in the last episode of The Week in Smoke. I’m glad to see interest in revisiting cigars that we’ve reviewed in the past. Walt originally reviewed the Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight back in 2007. Thinking about when I first started smoking cigars I remember the Dark Knight series being a […]
Tortuga Edicion Limitada 2011
The Tortuga Cigars brand isn’t a household name…to me. Until a couple weeks ago I never heard of it and if it wasn’t for George Brightman of W.Curtis Draper I would’ve ignored it on the shelf of their Bethesda MD location. As typical with my generation of cigar smoker, you walk into your shop and […]
