It’s been quite awhile since I last published a Week In Smoke so I figured, after our small vacation after IPCPR, now is a great time to start them back up again. Here is a list of some of the cigars I’ve smoked over the past week or so. Some are some old favorites and […]
La Flor Dominicana La Volcada
La Flor Dominicana introduced the La Volcada at this year’s IPCPR trade show in Las Vegas. The cigar is named after a move in the tango dance where the gentleman dips his female partner and she bends her leg back towards him. The move is shown as a silhouette on the band. The La Volcada […]
Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Churchill
Davidoff introduced the Winston Churchill Late Hour as an extension of their Winston Churchill cigar line at this year’s IPCPR. The Late Hour is named after time of day that Winston Churchill found most of his inspiration and creative spark, the late hours. What makes this cigar unique is that the Nicaraguan Condega Visus tobacco […]
Ben’s Week In Smoke – Bayou Edition Lucky No. 13
It has been awhile since I’ve done a Week In Smoke, so I figured it was due to get one out. I traveled to Houston, TX this past weekend to visit my wife who is working there on a temporary assignment. I usually travel there to visit her with my mom and my son, but […]
Ben’s Top 10 Cigars of the Year
Every year I try to get my top 10 cigars of the year out before Christmas and every year I never seem to make it. Better late than never I guess. This year, I was thinking how easy it would be to come up with 10 cigars because I was thinking there wasn’t much that came […]
Tatuaje Monster Series The Hyde
The spooky season is upon us, and I just happened to pick up a few of this year’s Tatuaje Monster Series The Hyde. Now ordinarily, I’d set these rarities to the side in the humidor and light one up in about a month (or three), but I thought it’d be fun to light one up […]
Davidoff Winston Churchill Churchill
When Davidoff released this new version of the Davidoff Winston Churchill cigar line, I knew a few people that were wondering what to expect from this release. The first version of the Winston Churchill line wasn’t really well received with most cigar smokers because they were pretty expensive and were pretty mild in body and flavor. […]
Is Aging Cigars Worth it? 1998 Punch Churchill
I really don’t like posting reviews on cigars that many of you can’t get for one reason or another, but I always seem to get the question on whether aging cigars is worth or not. My answer is always the same. It depends. Usually cigars mellow out and get smoother as they age so if […]
Week in Smoke – Bayou Edition No. 2
Its been a crazy week for me. My son has been really sick so I haven’t had much time to smoke many cigars, not to mention to record any reviews. I was able to get in a few cigars in between taking care of him, working and honey do task. Here are a few of […]
Oliva Serie V Melanio (Short Ashes)
When you see a review with the words Short Ashes tacked onto it, it implies that the review is a revisit of a cigar we’ve looked at in the past, or that it is a quick review in general. This time around, the review is a result of “I’m bored… oooh, look a camera!” I […]
