I have a huge backlog of cigars I want to review before the end of the year, but time is running out on me. Some cigars I want to get to, might not make it, which is why I love when we do these Week in Smoke. Its a good way to showcase some cigars […]

Padron 50th Anniversary Maduro “The Hammer”
I’m a little late to the game with this cigar. Released in 2014, the Padron 50th Anniversary or “The Hammer” is a commemorative cigar celebrating the 50th anniversary of the company’s founding in 1964.

Ben’s Week in Smoke No. 4 – The Bayou Edition
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one these so I figured this would be a great time to do one as our temps have been in the 90s locally. As the heats rises, I find myself smoking less and less full bodied cigars as the can be a bit over powering. Same goes for my […]
