Man, that week went by quickly. It seems like I had barely enough time to finish a cigar or two before I was staring down the barrel of another Monday. But I’ve gotten in a few sticks in since the annual top ten lists went up. So… It’s once time again for another issue of […]

Henry Clay Tattoo
This week I have selection for you that’s probably a little surprising: the Henry Clay Tattoo.

Heritage by Dunhill Robusto
In this trim, athletic video cigar review, I take a look at Dunhill’s first foray into the full-bodied cigar since they stopped making cigars in Cuba. I haven’t smoked a lot of Dunhills, but have had enough to know that this cigar is a significant departure for them. For the complete story, click the play […]
