It’s once time again for another issue of 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 has been since the last issue), […]
Re+United by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo & Michael Giannini
Today I bring you something a little different than my usual Week in Smoke. Since around this time every year I usually spend a lot of time in front of a camera, I thought I’d try my hand at video cigar review. And I picked a cigar that I’ve been meaning to review for a […]
Azul Vintage 2008 (First Impressions)
Several weeks back I got an awesome care package from Jerry Cruz. Inside the package was a number of cigars I hadn’t had the pleasure of smoking yet. One of them was the Azul Vintage 2008 from Epicurean Cigars – Distributed by House of Emilio. Lighting up the Azul Vintage 2008, I really didn’t know […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 47

Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 46
It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. It’s been a few weeks since I posted one, and the smoking notes have been building up, so this one will be a little longer than some. Bonus, right? In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it […]
Curivari Achilles Eternos
In 2013, Curivari introduced the Achilles as a stronger line to its already impressive line up of cigars. The Curivari Achilles is a Nicaraguan puro that was given more ligero to boost its body while still retaining a well rounded flavor profile. Released in three sizes, the cigar will be re-released 4 times a year […]
Casa Fernandez Aniversario Boheme
A few weeks ago I came home from work to find a package waiting for me. Inside the package was a note, t-shirt, and several cigar samples from Casa Fernandez. It has been quite a while since I’ve smoked a Casa Fernandez Cigar but I’ve had excellent luck with the lines. With my expectations set […]
Four Kicks by Crowned Heads
Things have been a little tight this year and as a result, I’ve been doing the bulk of my cigar shopping online. The last couple of orders I have placed have been through Cigar Monster. If you started to see a pattern between Famous Sale Items and my reviews, it was no coincidence. In my […]
K.A. Kendall’s 7-20-4 Robusto
This week kind of got away from me and I found myself in a predicament. My daughter just laid down for a nap and I had a narrow window where I could review a cigar. Did I gamble and smoke a cigar that could potentially be a rough experience or would I revisit something that […]
Asylum
I am a glutton for punishment. Despite having virtually no cigar budget these days, I like to browse over to Cigar Monster once per day to check out their Monster Mashup. More often than not, I wind up closing the browser tab and texting Jerry about some great deal I came across. Last week I […]
