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 […]
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 […]

Refinishing a Stinky Cigar Ashtray

Play fantasy baseball against Jerry and Ben and win prizes from Miami Cigar!
Its almost spring time. That means its baseball is right around the corner. Jerry and I are diehard baseball fans (Orioles for Jerry and the Braves for me) and figured a fun contest would be to have a fantasy baseball league with our cigar brothers and sisters. What would make it even more fun? How […]
