Man where did 2011 go? Seems like the older you get the faster time goes by. Before 2012 gets here its time to look back at 2011. 2011 was another awesome year for cigars! I’m anxious to see what Walt, Brian, Mike and Charlie have listed this year. This year is no different than previous […]
Charlie’s Month in Smoke, vol. 1
I have to apologize again, folks. Things are extremely busy for me right now, and for the second week in a row I wasn’t able to record a video review. Lots of changes are happening in my life right now: I successfully passed my PhD dissertation proposal, my wife & I recently announced that we’re […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a safe, enjoyable and refreshing Thanksgiving holiday. Anyone do any Black Friday shopping? I’m actually on the hunt for some Sesame Street figurines that are proving to be impossible to find for some reason. Of course these figurines aren’t sold online and no sign of them in the half […]
An Afternoon with Ernesto Perez Carrillo
When I think back to what I was smoking when I first started enjoying cigars there are a handful of cigars that come to mind. One of them was the El Rico Habano and another was the La Gloria Cubana Serie R. I’m pretty sure at the time, I had no idea who actually made […]

Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
I skipped last week’s edition of Week in Smoke to give Brian some time to shine. After all, he was the original creator of the Week in Smoke so I guess its a courtesy thing. Another fun filled week+ of exciting cigars. Some of the cigars you’ve seen before others are making their debut. Some […]

Back again with another edition of Week in Smoke. I think these have started to become more popular than my actual reviews. To answer a question I get repeatedly; Yes I do plan on bringing back the video version of Week in Smoke. Surprisingly it actually takes the most amount of work but its advertising […]
