My review of the Rocky Patel Winter Collection (2009) a few weeks back has renewed my love of Rocky Patel cigars. During this lovefest I discovered that I’ve never reviewed the Rocky Patel Cuban Blend. Similar to the Honduran Classic, the Cuban Blend is a Famous Exclusive…meaning you can only get them at Famous Smoke […]
Jericho by Camacho (Short Ashes)
With a little of my time being preoccupied this week, I was forced to swap my review this week. Just like last week, I’ve got a short ashes video for you today with a full review coming tomorrow. The review today features the Jericho by Camacho. MP3 Version: Right Click > Save As
El Triunfador
Rated it a 91 Lisa from Her Humidor -> Said it was “well balanced and strong” Stew from The World According to Stew -> Stew gave it 2 Thumbs Up
Padilla Miami (Fabrica de Tabacos Padilla)
First let me point out there isn’t any controversial music this week. Its only when I post outside my normal Monday slot that I go outside my “Hulk Hogan” music. Need to give thanks to Carlos in NJ for bringing this to my attention. I was twittering about getting these and Carlos asked me if […]
Vegas Robaina
If you remember from my Top 10 Cigars of 2008 list I mentioned the Vegas Robaina as being one of them that I hadn’t reviewed just yet. After popular demand for another Cuban cigar review I decided what better time to review it. Video runs close to 20 minutes and my apologies for coughing in […]

CAO Lx2
I want to preface this review the same way I did in the video. These Lx2 were gifted to me by Jon Huber of CAO Cigars. Jon was nice enough to send me a few Lx2’s to try after having a conversation on Twitter about how they can be hard to find and how I’ve […]
Top 10 Cigars (2008)
Welcome to The Great Torpedo Edicion of Top 10 Cigars for 2008. In case you’ve been kidnapped by elves or in-laws and missed it, be sure to checkout Walt’s Top 10 and Brian’s Top 10. I was actually surprised that my list actually shares 3 cigars that are on Walt’s list. Really thought Brian and […]
Partagas Black
Really hope that my boy @waltw gets enough rest. I know he’s been feeling under the weather this week so I’m filling in for him while he gets some much deserved extra rest. I know, I know, I’ve reviewed the Partagas Black before but the past week or so, my old review has gotten some […]
