Their new Camacho Nicaraguan Barrel Aged is the latest cigar blend in the Camacho portfolio to do something a little different. Camacho is known for their excellent corojo tobacco, but the NBA adds a twist. Camacho takes […]
IPCPR 2017: Davidoff
In the Davidoff booth at IPCPR 2017 we met up with Charles Awad to take a tour of their latest products. He starts us off with the Winston Churchill The Late Hour. The cigar is a reference to the way Winston Churchill spent his late evenings. Charles tells us in the dark hours of the […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 110
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), […]
Davidoff Anniversario No. 3 702 Series
Davidoff released a new series called the 702 Series in February 2017. The 702 Series use a special Ecuadorian Habano wrapper grown exclusively for these cigars at the San Juan finca near Cotopaxi in Ecuador. The tobacco is a hybrid of 3 cuban seed habano tobaccos. The farm is set in the foothills of the […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 108
Thanks to some poor lifestyle decisions made by a younger Brian and the present day dental consequences, I haven’t been able to enjoy that many cigars over the past week. So how can you post a new Week in Smoke? Asks the reasonable reader. Easy, is my response, these are all smoking visualization exercises, what […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 107
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 […]

Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 104
It’s good to be back. If you follow me on social media, you’ve probably seen a lot of pictures of exotic locales interspersed with pictures of cigars that rarely show up in one of my Weeks in Smoke. I was on vacation in Southeast Asia (Malaysia and Bali) and I made a point to browse […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 103
If there’s a theme for this Week In Smoke, it’s a mix of new cigars and relaxation. Heavy on the relaxation. Maybe a little procrastination too. It’s been a busy summer, and I for one am ready to welcome a less hectic season of bourbon and heavier beers. Sure, I drink both year round, but […]
